Battle Of The North


I am not a sports fanatic, but today, like all the other 5 million of us, I am at home, watching The Hockey Match Of The Year, Finland vs Sweden. Will continue as soon as the game's over!

6:10pm

Ok. So we lost. Once again. Competing against Sweden must be something psychological, I don't know. The game started very well, but then again something happened and the Swedes finally won 2-3. But hey, as they say, "hopea ei ole häpeä", silver's no shame, so I guess we should be happy and proud of our boys, getting an olympic silver medal for us hockeycrazy Finns.

I must admit that I didn't watch the olympic games at all, a short glimpse of curling one night, seemed totally symphatetic, by the way, and now today this game. Even if I am not keenly following sports it doesn't mean I don't like it; I like to watch soccer every once in a while and I think figureskating is beautiful, a little like ballet on ice.

Another lazy sunday, just ordered a pizza and will most probably spend rest of the evening reading a book called "A Short History Of Nearly Everything" by Bill Bryson. Science is my guilty pleasure!

P.S. Couldn't resist Conan ;-)
