Sleepless in Helsinki
Aug. 7th, 2004 12:29 amInsomnia! Cramps! The fact that I still haven't packed anything! Cats trying to kill each other all around me.
I think I'm going entirely nuts here.
Was knackered when I came home and went straight to bed. Thought I could sleep till morning and then be all bright eyed and so on. Hah! Woke up around midnight all groggy and then couldn't sleep anymore. I hate that! I need sleep!
Oh well. At least I can now start packing. Or panicking over not packing. Or thinking about panicking...
Hmmm... Maybe I should concentrate on something very important. Like printing out something to read on the plane. Tried to buy Dan Brown's Digital Fortress, but it was sold out everywhere. Wonder if they sell it at the airport.
Will have to settle with taking some slash in a binder and then ignoring it and pretending I'm too busy to work on anything. It's happened before. Shall happen again. :D
Am so very disappointed at people in RL now it's not even funny. Everything kind of sucks. I want to smack idiots with a rolled up newspaper because they deserve nothing better. Being completely cranky all the time is getting on my nerves.
Thank gods for the vacation. I really need it. Right now.

Date: 2004-08-06 03:01 pm (UTC)I'm sure part of this is because of the heat wave. It makes me sleepy and grumpy and listless... though that's what I usually am so maybe I'm just looking for a scapegoat.
Hey, I saw Da Vinci Code in sale (if you call 23 € a sale): I'm assuming it's not out as a paperback yet (in Finnish)? Should I blow that much money on the hardcover?
And good luck for the packing! I should go to bed myself, I need to get up early to go to Bengtskär.

Since we seem to have the weird notion that only hardcovers are 'real' books, they'll probably keep taking new editions of the hb until people lose interest. Can't say anything about the translation either, since I read it in English.
Somehow I alwsys feel things lose in translation. I enjoyed Dan Brown's style, and hope it fits Finnish as well...
Packing! Gods, I forgot about the damn packing. Aaaargh....
