Again, I am making simple things way too complicated. Also: can't really decide on anything. more
Apparently I made a bit of a Mess!
I set up my "new" blog with Kev's Pure Blog last week and since then had been busy updating - that is importing all my posts that I had on my Bearblog. Needless to say that took a while, but earlier t... more
Hello World! Could this be my last move?

A Trip to the Beach
We took a quick trip to the beach earlier and I thought I could use the opportunity to test blogging via email. Needless to say, that we you can read this, it just worked. more

Trying to be more focused by limiting my options (and failing in the process)
I'm not the one to do the resolutions thing, they are never going to work anyway, and I am not even going to pretend that this will work in the long run, but with the first month of the year almost do... more
Other People's Diaries
I have always been interested into autobiographies (though my book-log doesn't necessarily reflect that) and over the last Summer additionally I found an interest into other people's diaries. Which co... more
The Books I read (finished) in 2025
I finally got back on track with my general reading this year, and even though I didn't manage to read as much as I used to, I at the least managed to read a little more than in the previous year. Who... more
And as of now I have completed the cycle once again...
and I am now, in terms of the tools that I am using to organize my life at the least, exactly where I have been a year ago. Sure, I could now pretend that I have done a thorough yearly-reflection, got... more
Just a traditional Christmas tune
The other week we performed with the Tapio Maunuvaara Quintet featuring Inga Söder, at the town hall, here in Oulu, our "traditional" Christmas concert (if the second time in two years and be called "... more
This looks about right

Last Saturday we were supposed to have had the final Kinky Boots show at the Oulun Teatteri, and as always we had a fun time performing the music down here in the Pit! Supposed to? Two more shows had... more
re:re:re: The Last Move
So, I can't make this up, but I have moved the blog - again. Back to Bearblog in fact. I "think" this would be the 3rd move this year, and frankly I am getting a bit tired of my habit of moving things... more
And yet another Anniversary
And yes, it's that time of the year that the blog has yet another anniversary. It "should" be the 18th. And only one day late. Cool! Increasingly though it feels as if the only purpose of this blog is... more
“Weeknote” for the Weeks 26 to 30 of 2025
Not going to start how this again took quite some time, and how this also comes out at the end of the week. Then again, who cares. In any case there naturally had been plenty of things and here's the... more
The Thing with the Theme
tl;dr: can't decide on a theme and thus simply changed my color theme with some AI-help of all things. This is another typical-me. Now that Magic-Pages allows for installing themes I am unable to deci... more
