Ihanaa leijonat ihanaa

Tonight, I was finally proud of being a Finn again. Since the depressing parlament results, followed a month later by some lame Eurovision song, there has been a bit of bitter taste what my home country has done to itself. But icehockey, oh dear icehockey you saved us! I am ashamed to say that I did not watch the game, I enjoyed finishing Persuasion by Jane Austen (probably making Austen a tradition and must-read around finals, last year I read Northanger Abbey) as Paulina kindly updated me on what was happening through MSN. The joy of modern technology!

I also might add that icehockey is probably the only sport worth watching, both live and via TV. At least there is some action with real men, not some divas running around like in soccer (sorry all my soccer-playing friends...)
