- The trip to Bonn with my cousin was lots of fun: good food, warm weather, went to Köln and Schloß Augustusburg, saw the Napoleon und Europa - Traum und Trauma exhibition, and just generally had a wonderful time. (I also fell in love with a Scottish waiter at an Italian café) 
- I received an unconditional offer from Aberdeen - now I can't choose between Aberdeen or Dundee! 
- Of Moons, Birds & Monsters-MGMT 
- Merry Happy-Kate Nash 
- Finally told my boss that I'm going to quit after May - it wasn't even as daunting as I anticipated. 
- Mowgli's Road-Marina & The Diamonds 
- Been listening to Naive by The Kooks for over an hour on repeat at three a.m. 
- My mum told me that my grandmother (from my father's side) passed away. It was actually a relief for both her and my grandfather, because she's been very ill for so many years now. Lepää rauhassa mummu. 
- I am seriously worried about Finnish politics, because the nationalist party got more votes than ever. But that's democracy, I guess. 
- I had a wonderful weekend with my mum who came to visit and my sister. We made delicious food and the weather was lovely. Also, I bought a dress I've been eyeing for some time now - it was 60% off! 
- Finally went to see Black Swan with my cousin - it was so beautiful but so disturbing. Rarely does a movie give me the chills so many times. 
- I bought a wonderful new spring coat (about time too, my old one was already about six years old and not my style at all anymore) and I love it! 
- Whistle For The Choir-The Fratellis 
- This  video of Paris 
- Jos et sä soita-Regina (it whisks me to the kiosks in my hometown in the summers of the nineties - tan skin, sun-bleached hair in a messy braid, still partially wet after swimming, digging pennies from our pockets to see if we could afford one more ice cream.) 
- Maailman toisella puolen-Haloo Helsinki! (_"Äiti älä pelkää, kyllä pidän itsestä huolen"_ - this is what I want to tell my own mum) 
- I stole a black skirt from my mum's wardrobe and I am so in love with it. It makes me feel so grown up! (especially with my new coat, it is so perfect) 
- I'm a bit late on this, but I'm totally hooked on watching Misfits now (hurray for youtube!) 
- I don't care that everyone seems to be dissing the Royal Wedding - I thought it was lovely and romantic and Kate's dress was beautiful.
