Frightening babies always makes my day, so that seems pretty accurate. :evil:

*Reminding myself not to invite Scythe over for coffee....* Whenever I scare my big girl, she gets all jittery and drives herself to a hysteric cry, so having someone she doens't know come by, might secure me even less sleep at night than I am getting currently. :zzz:

I have a bad track record being a big, nasty stranger who drives small children to tears, so yeah, that'd be safer.

Today (our bookstore has deliveries usually on Tuesdays or Wednesdays), among others we received some books wrapped in Finnish telephone book pages. Letter N to P. We rarely receive books wrapped in something so exotic, so we considered making prank calls for a moment, but decided it would be rather silly for people in their thirties. Besides, it costs. ^^

As it happens, the new phone directories made a big clunk noise when they were crammed through my mailbox yesterday. A couple of hours later I threw them to the recycle bin.

Its funny how we still use such archeologically ancient artifacts even today... (or well "use" might be a big word here - but distribute...)

There's money in it for the publisher, nothing else.

I have no idea who believes advertising in a phone directory makes any sense, but apparently many people either do or the advertisers haven't heard about this thing called "internet".

I still use telephone books. I think I can often find the information needed there much faster than first start my computer and search for the same information in the internet.

But it seems I'm always a retro guy even when it comes to buying technical stuff. I bought myself a Playstation2 yesterday. It was sold for 75 Euro including the console, a controller, two microphones and a demo version of "Singstar" which is a pretty good price in my eyes. And as I never owned a console before, there are still hundreds of games waiting to be played by me

:marathon:

I ran my first half-marathon of the year today. I planned to run a time around 1:50, but to my own big surprise I ended up with a new personal best-time of 1:39:47 which means I reached rank 49 (out of 204) in my age group and rank 326 out of 1658 male runners and improved exactly 4 minutes since my last competition in october. And I thought I didn't train that well during winter... :shock:

GOOD JOB! I am still waiting to get my running going properly again, after this winters harsh weather and family conditions... No way I am going to run a half-marathon this year, but I am planning on getting my training up and running so well this year, that next years goal could very well be at least one half-marathon. Longest run this year will be my regular Eremitage-run with 13.31 km's.
I can't even find time (or energy) to run once a week currently... And it bugs me, as I know I would get more energy if I ran...

Or maybe it was the London marathon that was also on the same day? :)
