I’m not dead yet

August 24, 2004

Since you last heard from me, I sat in traffic, got to the airport, went through check-in procedures and such, stood in line for a while, discovered that the seven-letter answer to “Coach seat lack” is not actually “LEGROOM”, found out that Miracle is just as lame and melodramatic as I’d anticipated, learned that the smoking lounge of the international terminal at Helsinki’s airport is one of the most horrifying places in the world, arrived in Tallinn, found out my luggage was still in New York, saw some relatives for a bit, made my way to Tartu, checked into Raatuse 22-440, Tartu 51009, slept for twelve hours, and attended some orientation stuff at Tartu Ülikool. Then I went to an internet cafe. Pictures will presumably follow as soon as I get my own computer somehow internetized. I hope the airport gives me my bags soon, so I don’t have to wear these clothes for a fourth day.

Song of the Moment: Some song I heard on the radio in Helsinki. I didn’t catch the name but they kept saying ‘We’re renegades’ (NOT renegades of funk).

And I’m off to the airport. I’ll be seeing you later

Look out honey ’cause I’m using technology

I have no idea how it’s possible, but just about every pair of slacks I tried on today made my ass look huge.

Also, I really wish my feet didn’t still hurt like motherfuckers.

In other news, post-post-laager hanginoutandrinkin is good stuff. Pictures to come (maybe), along with some pre-post-laager pictures (maybe).

Finally, congratulations are in order for Carly Patterson. Your gold medal in the individual all-around validated all the hours of gymnastics I’ve watched this week, and for that I thank you, despite the fact that you’re not actually going to ever read this. On the off-chance that you do somehow see this, though, consider yourself invited to Raatuse 22 in Tartu. Just stop by whenever; I’m sure my roommates will be cool with it.

Song of the Moment: «Gimme Danger» — The Stooges

Enne täna õhtut, ma polnud elus kunagi nutnud kui ma laagrist välja sõitsin.

Song of the Moment: «Painting Her Fingernails» — Bobby Bare Jr

Maia hii, maia huu, maia haa, maia ha-ha

First and foremost, I have this to say: Fuck you, Peeter Nielander, for getting me hooked on such a shitty song. I hate you forever.

What song is this? Why, ‘Dragostea Din Tei’ by Haiducii, of course. Go and download it this minute (scroll down for a link), like I was forced to as soon as I got home from this weekend, where it had been playing in the bar on loop for a while Saturday night. It’s no exaggeration to say I listened to the damn thing thirty times on Sunday night.

You know how it is, you get a song stuck in your head and the only way to get rid of it is to get it stuck in someone else’s.

In other news, though, I found this quite hilarious, and you might, as well.
