Dunk you under deep salt water (PJ Harvey - Long Snake Moan)
An evening shift. I woke up rather early, so after breakfast, I did a little tidying up around the house. I made my bed, put my shirts and jeans in order, so that's a start.

I'm done with the road I'm walking (Gluecifer - Easy Living)
A morning shift at work.
After the work and a sixty minutes' sleep, I went playing football. And it was the first time this year and the first time since my injury last year. So all this considered, it went well. I was a bit rusty and I wasn't satisfied with my shoes, but I didn't injure myself or the others. The group I'm playing with every Monday and Thursday consists of mainly foreigners and immigrants, plus few of us natives to stir up the pack, and they are good people. The core of our group has stayed together at least 15 years, each year it changes a little, some retire and we get new folks, but it still feels the same. It's funny, I don't see any of those people at my spare time unless we occasionally bump into each other, and to see them after a long winter every spring, it's kinda bizarre. There are at least 100 people I know from the football field, but otherwise I have nothing to do with them, socially. The magic of football.
After the practise, watched Skyfall.

The trophies of your past are nothing but your scars (The Rotted - Surrounded By Skulls)
Sunday and a couple of hours after the breakfast (sandwiches & coffee), I went running and it was a very easy workout, I ran my usual route 6 times. So, I jogged every day the past seven days, altogether 37,7 kilometres of this quite hilly route. Obviously, a new record.
It's getting quieter on that front from now on. I'm going back to work and for instance when I'm on an evening shift, it's quite difficult if not impossible going running. And after the workday you are already a bit tired, so I don't run with that much ease, if at all. And besides, the football season starts from tomorrow onwards, I prefer playing football and if everything fits into place I have three practices each week. If I'm on an evening shift, I don't play, but otherwise I'm on the field.
Hopefully I don't break my leg as I did last year.

He is the son of the enticer, the all seeing subterranean keiser (Ghost - Jigolo Har Megiddo)
I ran only two times my usual route. I had decided that beforehand. My muscles felt really tense and I had a hangover. I drank quite heavily the night before. But it was alright, a quick leisurely roll.
Watched some World Cup ice hockey where Finland hammered Austria 7 - 2.

You were dressed just a little obscene (The Dandy Warhols - Green)
There was a -25% discount at the pet store for the food my cats dig the most, so I took a bike and bought a few bags of that stuff. I also purchased some dried fish and a couple of toys. The cats looked me with pity in their eyes when I handed them their new toys. We all know I'm constantly giving them presents.
Went running. Fifth time in a row this week. I have never done this before. Anyways, I did my usual route five times (app. 6,5 kilometres) and it felt great to have a good sweat running down my face.

Where the dew drops cry and the cats meow (Spinal Tap - Stonehedge)
It's some kind of Jesus day (don't bother to check out the details) and the shops are closed.
Didn't do much the whole day. Shuttled between books, fridge, computer and television.
Went running. Did my usual route four times and it was very easy.
Read rather famous Finnish musician Kauko Röyhkä's new musings from his Facebook page where he picks up a topic that too often people listen to single songs from iPad instead of entire albums and compares it to reading excerpts of a book instead of cover to cover. I can see his point. I do both, but these days I prefer listening to songs randomly from my computer, my walkman or you tube whatever. Sure, when I buy an album, I listen to it, song by song, concentrate on the music, on the lyrics, the whole deal. But I'm in the phase of downloading my physical album collection to computer and really fucken enjoy listen to the entire collection in disorder, if a cool tune comes up, I'll pump up the volume, read the lyrics and maybe then listen to the other songs of the album as well. And on the other hand, if a song of not that good calibre comes up, I'll skip it immediately and most likely delete it as well.
I like the book referance too. I'm a weird book reader. Love 'em to death, but honest to god, I'm always reading something like thirty books at the same time. I have books in my bed room, in the living room, in the toilet, in the kitchen, I sometimes bring a book in the sauna, I read what's in close vicinity and start reading where I left off. Reading too many novels at the same time is a bit too confusing, but not impossible. I sometimes buy a book, read a few chapters, like it alright, put it in the bookshelf, forget it there for few years and start reading it again.
And now that I think of it, it's the same with movies and television series too. With Netflix, it's easy, I'm wholly comfortable keeping unfinished movies there. I continue watching them when I feel like it.

I’d like to take your ego and crush it into a little ball (The Dictators - I Am Right!)
According to the warmth and sunshine, the first Summer day.
Went running. Third time on a row this week. Did my usual route 4 times. The four times, four laps, it's becoming my routine now, it's not overly hard or time-consuming, I like that.
