On buttermilk and other things

Alas, further investigation - based solely on one Amazon review - suggests that while the book is very real, the particular section on buttermilk bosoms and galloping abs here is a hoax. You may be relieved. You may be disappointed. Personally, I'M A LITTLE BIT BOTH :D Regardless, that was the best laugh I'd had in a while and I will be adopting 'enter it like it's a lottery' into my active vernacular. 'Kat, we're going over here. - Oh, that building? I'M GONNA ENTER IT LIKE IT'S A LOTTERY!' 'Oh, you're about to take a bath? - Oh no, no, no! I'M GOING TO ENTER IT LIKE IT'S A LOTTERY!' The possibilities!
In other news I have had one shorter day, another long day, and today sort of medium day, followed by 12h day tomorrow and then going to have to work Saturday so... Uh, I'm around in theory? I am thinking I'll do a week of fic recs next week because I have them almost ready and that would be... something.
Right, now I'm going to wash dishes and make myself a jacket potato. Exciting times!

Ja Helsinki-kuvailut oli hauskoja, koska tunsin suunnilleen kaikki paikat. :D Mutta ai että kirjaa oli vaikea lukea. Mulle tuli etenkin alussa niin vahvoja muistikuvia omien isovanhempien elämien loppupuolista, plus irrationaalista pelkoajattelua vanhempien vanhenemisesta ja omasta vanhenemisesta... joten ei ollut mikään kepeä lukukokemus. :P En siis ehkä kykene tarttumaan seuraaviin, vaikka toi olikin hyvä! (Irman parantuminen lopussa oli kyllä niin jeeee, koska ehdin jo olla epätoivoissani.)

Mutta sitten taas toisaalta siinä oli semmoista elämän pienten ilojen juhlimista ja omavaltaisuuden sissipuolustusta. Seuraava osa käsittelee eutanasiaa ja sisältää parikin kuolinkohtausta, mitkä molemmat sai mut itkemään vuolaanaan. Toinen niistä oli kyllä niin kaunis kuin kuolema voi olla. Mutta varoituksena tämä. Valoisammalla puolella tosin Siiri ystävystyy ja rupeaa vaihtamaan reseptejä afrikkalaisten nuorten miesten kanssa eli monikulttuurisuuden juhlintaa, symppistä.
