...or rather WW. When trying to cross the border from Russia to Finland without somekind of document I should have had (someone (I wonder who) lost it). The worker there tried to convince that I'm a guilty criminal by turning everything against me. Such as that everyone else from the group did have the document - I can't think of why that would point anyhow to me being evil. :S I did get over the border, but probably wouldn't have had I been three months older: I would have got a fine, and since I had ten rubels at most, I would have been arested or something as nice, lynched maybe. I did get to have a laugh though, talking high philosophical nonsense to the worker there and getting away with it.

When you're delighted, really baffled, slightly disturbed and rather convinced that you just saw Sally on TV. I swear, she looked exactly like her.

When you decide to attempt to use the internet via your cell phone in order to access the Downs and check up on the WW thread while waiting for a movie to start in the theatre. That's what I did Thursday evening. I don't know how people manage to use their phones for internet on a regular basis...it's quite hard to read from the tiny screen. But I did manage to get through half a page...

A friend of mine is into Historical Fencing, and all of their drills have names/abbreviations that are of Italian origin. Her brother's sword was in their home today (she keeps her own at the training place), so she took it and asked me if I wanted to see [her perform] Form. Yes, sure, that'd be nice. Do you buy him plane tickets?

I have mentioned it here before, but it's been some time, and right now I have actually started to listen again to the music of Tony Iommi. It's some good music, but I doubt I would have paid enough attention to it in the first place, had I not been a Barrow-Downer...

When you always laugh when you see a Kelloggs Multi Grain package because you always misread the last word...
And also, when it makes you smile to see a downer's last name in a car register plate. And lastly, related to what Legate just said, I might have to thank an old BD dream of mine for starting to listen to a band called Kent...
