//If you go to the forest in Finland, it’s awful: Mosquitoes! Nettles! Mud! Snakes! Ticks! / If you go to the forest in France, it’s definitely even more awful: You can find all the same things here AND all the plants have spikes! //
// Careful now, Higgins. The previous expedition never returned. / Hum, traces of scale model building and eating… / I found the washing spot, Mr Stone. It seems abandoned… / scratch whiiiish / I don’t think so. Nothing indicates it has left. The beast might still be here… //
I want to thank Mama, Silence of the Lambs and Steven Moffat for inspiration.
No really this was inspired by my flat, which was last cleaned up a good while ago because I was too busy being at school and doing charrette…
Ordinary things turned into mild horror by Ina
Pienoismallikronikat, eli mitä kaikkea jännää ateljeessa tapahtuukaan kalmanlinjan edellä:
// *various weird songs playing in my head* / This just won’t do — Tell her! With pleasure. / Ahoy! / What the heck, dude, really?! Well ex-squeeze me! / Good, getting better… //
// Oh troll, it’s already six o’clock. Well, I’ll just rapidly finish with this cutting and then I must eat something… / WAAAAH! / splat / What just happened?! A time warp. What time is it? It’s half past nine. Darn! I still haven’t eaten! //
// Sleeping mattress! Halleluja! / Laugh, looks like you’re praying there / Oh the sacred models… / Attention on your yoga mats, it’s time for a small exercise. Ooooommmm / … / *easily excited* Like this? / grunt / Ah-ha! / Waaah! / Hehehe. It’s always smart to decorate the landing platform with glue and sharp cutters and your precious models. Good aim, though… //

Voilà !
Eivät ne edes oikeasti sano mitään hauskaa, hauskuus on siinä että ne sanovat sen ranskaksi ! Ja että ranskalaiset dubbaavat elokuvansa !
Mulla on jännällä tavalla vain epätarkka mielikuva leffan avainrepliikeistä, tiedän suurinpiirtein mitä sanottiin, mutta en osaa toistaa sitä sanatarkasti, mulla ole havaintoa miten se sanottiin alkuperäiskielellä, joten en voi briljeerata nörttipiireissä laskettelemalla suvereenisti sivukaupalla dialogia… Hämmentävää >:)
Jännän äärellä kielikysymyksissä oli Ina
ps. älköön kukaan nyt herran tähden käyttäkö oheisia lauseita minkäänlaisena referenssinä siitä, miten ranskaa oikeasti puhutaan tai kirjoitetaan !

… that I went anyway.
// As I step in into the Louis Vuitton store on Champs Elysées I become suddenly very conscious about my comfortable jeans and the mud that stuck on my shoes during the latest site visit. / Nice necklace oh it costs 1700e. / … / There was a third zero there. //
Overwhelmed by excessive luxury was Ina

Last week has been more or less like this… It may have something to do with a fact that I should be a good girl and study while there’s full summer outside.

// From my insurance company. Wonder what they want now…? /
due to the fact that you haven’t paid your insurance we are forced to terminate your contract… But I’ve paid it! /
date of termination: April 21 /
BUT I’VE PAID IT! /
Here, on March 25 – and this was sent on 31st. But it was Easter then… /
And it took three weeks from the notice to arrive here ’cause I didn’t tell my new address ’cause I’VE PAID IT and I thought we’re even — /
So they just probably haven’t noticed my payment before sending this. And everything is probably fine. Phew. /
It’s Friday evening so I won’t be able to find out before Monday anyway… /
But what if they really haven’t gotten my payment! And they have really cut my insurance yesterday! And I’m alone in France! Now if something happens…!!! /
So I’ll just wait here– not moving a muscle– until Monday… /
Dang. This is my only saucepan. How am I gonna cook? //
Oh lords the amount of text in this comic!!
Dear parents, everything is fine, in case you worried. Love, Ina
Hywää ja riemullista Wappua!
// And some say you can’t buy happiness… //
