BRRRR IT'S COLD

yuuagoI wish I could Elsa it up and say that the cold doesn't bother me, but alas, no. It's -30C out and it's just going to get worse. Why do I live in northern Alberta, again?! ... Oh, wait. Because this is where the jobs are. Right.
Did some last-minute (online) shopping today! I think that's everything, except for one thing that I need to pick up in town this weekend. And then I can start wrapping and get it over with and I won't have to think about it any more. And cards - I need to do that, too. Man, for someone who doesn't like Christmas much, I'm sure busy with holiday stuff. I don't know how this happens every year.
moonamaija recommended a drama to me, called Salatut elämät - apparently it's cute and there's a cute gay couple in it and I should watch it. "You'll improve your Finnish!" she says. Might be good, since currently the Finnish I know is only enough to greet someone, curse them out, and then apologize for it. Well, that's all you need to know in order to get around in Finland, joo? (... I'm so glad that I was with friends while I was there. Using English was fine, but it was comforting knowing that I had someone who could translate if a problem came up!)
This entry is all over the place. Here, to make it even more random, have a link to a nice Russian song, called "Kon (The Horse)", recent but in traditional style.

I can't believe I'm actually watching that show fully now, always in front of tv when the new episode airs at 7:30 pm :D I had totally forgotten how awful it can be, since besides the Elias' story clips at YT, I think the last time I've watched a full episode was like five years ago. :D
I've been busy with christmas things too, cards mostly, I think I'll be kinda late with gifts this year (as always). It can be exhausting! We're doing a small advent calendar with my bf, so that we give each other something small every other day. I can't be happier that I lowered the expectations a lot by giving him a beer the first day :P One less thing to stress about, at least.
