On ollut heikko moti tehdä blogisarjiksia, kun Sarjakuvablogit kuulemma ensi vuonna loppuu, ja on toisaalta kilpaileva moti tehdä kaikkea hupsutusta Instagramiin. Lisäksi taidan nyt jäädä joululomalle postaamisesta. Ens vuoteen, niin kauan kuin tätä nyt kestää!

Kumouksellista toimintaa

partisaani_n
/ Hi, how was your weekend? -Good. I attended a partisan seminar. / Security Intelligence Service: Hey hey hey! /
/ I mean like historical fencing. A partisan is a heavy melee spear from 1500’s. -Ah, okay. / Dang. /

Jos tulee kriisi, niin osaan sitten puolustaa itseäni kaksmetrisellä seipäällä.

Rupesin muistelemaan naginataseminaaria, jonne matkustettiin laivalla. Omalla dojolla puhuttiin sujuvasti ”aseista” koko ajan, mutta matkaan lähtiessä senpai ohjeisti, että puhutte sitten julkisesti vain naginatoista, ettei tule turvamiehet päälle.

Kesken jääneet asiat

/ Some years ago I met a lovely environmentalist. Let’s call her Eeva-Stiina / She invited me to speak in an event and I got to visit her and her partner’s farm /
/ There the ditch came up for the first time: -it’s possible to dig a ditch into the forest without any permission / so doesn’t it go other way round as well! What if we arranged a rewilding workshop and filled this ditch! -Ha ha yes! /
/ Two summers ago we were on an excursion in North Karelia. Upon separating:
I’m looking forward to you coming to fill that ditch one day. Maybe in August? Otto’s invited too! -Of course! Yes! /

That summer and another passed. And last Friday: Eeva-Stiina has passed away. -What? NO?! / …Fast and severe illness… died peacefully at home… buried in the presence of closest… -No no no no no /
/ We never got to fill that ditch! /

Ihanat antropomorfit

/ I reread one of my favourite childhood books, Martin the Warrior from the Redwall series. / It was like going back to a familiar place / Except for one thing /
/ Ouf how come these animals are so steaming HOT ?! -You don’t really think about it when you’re nine… /
/ My standards aren’t that high. They’re mouse-sized / The mouse in question /

Martin2_n
/ It was also a little sad to notice that the two primary plotlines actually talk about radicalization, revenge – / and how they eventually ruin the lives of young animals. As a kid I admired the Redwall warriors but now I see there are dark and difficult aspects to them, too. This was an interesting notion. /
/ (Though, I’ll have my hotties with a trauma anytime…) /

Kintulammin listat

Oltiin Macin kanssa telttailemassa Kintulammilla ja ehdittiin käydä monella eri taukopaikalla. Tässä havaintoja matkan varrelta:
