here!
Winter is closer. We have had a little snow in Helsinki, too, and in northern areas there are loads of it. Not melting before April.
But the sea around Helsinki is icy cold. Deadly dangerous, but looking harmlessly stiff and lazy, getting prepared to be buried under the ice.

The Finnish Broadcasting Company YLE has been proud to send the following piece of information:
"Tickets for international Eurovision Song Contest on sale before Christmas
Tickets for the international Eurovision Song Contest to be held in Helsinki next May will be on sale by mid-December. Tickets will be on sale for the international semi-final (May 10) and final (May 12) and for the dress and final rehearsals. All in all there will be eight possible audience events. The programme for the dress and final rehearsals will be the same as for the semi-final and final, apart from the voting of course. YLE has invited 12 artists to compete for the honour of representing Finland in the Eurovision Song Contest to be held in Helsinki in 2007."
WHO cares about Eurovision Song Contest? Who? I just don't get that.
Or, maybe I do care. As a taxpayer I care just enough only to wish the money spent on the contest of Euro clowns would be put to anything more important (and, almost anything is more important). Like to small cultural societies and magazines – to those who are to lose governmental funding this year.
I have always been so happy about Finland being the last one. If the forum is as bad as the annual Eurotrash, there is absolutely no need to qualify!
But back to _really_ important things: Anna is still here. Her show must go on. There is a bunch of us who will help.
