It's good to know I'm not the only one who is having trouble talking like normal person when interacting with Dunkin Donuts and Brooklyn. Marianne was here on Thursday and she's just as bad as I am with the baby talk! But you would understand and most likely be like me if you met the little terrorists yourself. I mean they are seriously cute. And fluffy. And beautiful. And adorable. And intelligent. They just require few "Ohhhh's" and "Awww's". There's nothing you can do. I think we, as humans, are conditioned to do that when facing cute fluffy kittens. It's natural. It's in our DNA. Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!
Elviira had invited us to go check out their new house (now that they've actually moved in) and Marianne offered me a ride there so she came over beforehand to check the kittens. She hasn't seen them since the day they moved in so it was about time since they've grown so much. We gossiped a little, had some glögi and joulutorttu and then I kicked Elviira's butt in WII bowling few times before getting tired (I'm not in shape) and losing the third one. And then it was time to do some "saving the planet" and take home some of their left over furniture that had become expendable in the new place. I got myself a living room table, new drawer for the bathroom and one for the hallway that we carried in yesterday. It's like my living room could be their "town home" with almost all the furniture coming from them. And they live in the "'burbs" now...
I went to see the movie "New Year's Eve" yesterday with Elviira and Finland was very well represented in the movie. Michelle Pfeiffer was carrying a Marimekko bag in her first scenes and John Lithgow was playing Angry Birds! Angry Birds has obviously taken over the world and there is, I believe, a Marimekko store in NYC so it's not so surprising to find Marimekko in New York City. Movie itself was cute chick flick but won't win any Oscars anytime soon.
The casualties left behind by the terrorists are mounting. First it was the iPod earphones they chewed through, then it was one of the speakers for my computer and/or iPod and now yesterday I realized they chewed the other speaker as well! Awesome! So no speakers...means no listening to iPod, right? Wrong! I realized that even though I don't have the iDog speaker I got from Santa few x-mases ago because it's either in fresh kills landfill in NYC or in other top secret location, I DO have the cable that goes with it and the cable, after a little jiggling, goes into the AUX inlets in my stereo system so I can listen to it on big speakers! I'm so brilliant sometimes I even surprise myself. And all this while writing this post and bitching about the weapons of mass destruction ruining my things!
I think that's about it for now...I will try to post before the week is over but if not...Merry merry and happy happy!
