That what made me have black teeth

I ruffled my feathers and wanted to have lots of chocolate

So I had had so many bad feather days in a row that the cocopops tasted like cauliflower. You know the feeling. Even the news that the book we're editing is going to be ready for print soon, felt nothing. The announcement of the brilliant work plans for the next year made me stare the wall. The sunshine made me visualize my upcoming bad-bikini-day. The buses were on time and there was nothing to complain about and it made me mad. Well, the rise made me smile. Little.

So I went to the shop to buy food. What to do with the extra money, I thought. Should I buy new jeans, I wondered and put a cheese on the trolley. Should I cut my hair, I pondered, and bought some pineapple-orange-apple-passion-banana-juice. Or would it be good to finally buy the two plates, I thought and placed two rhubarb pies over the cheese. Maybe I should get horribly drunk, I pictured whilst lifting up 8 kilos of dog food. Maybe buying shampoo for the rest of the year would do the same I thought and saw a lovely red-veined sorrel. Or should I buy a plane ticket instead I heard myself asking from the Fuji Pinks.

There was a man looking at me speaking to the apples. He was smiling. I smiled back. I bought some grapefruits. The man, who could have been Chris Cornell's long lost brother from Cyprus, bought grapefruits too. I walked to see the breads. He wanted to see the breads too. I rushed to the bananas. He sent me a kiss and I accidentally bought two kilos of fair trade fruits. I think he noticed I don't live alone, so he left and I went to pay. 75 Euros and 30 cents. Damn.

On the Menu Today

The language of the Fox blog has changed into Finnish during the night. Where it used to read title, it now says otsikko, where it said view blog it now reads tarkastele blogia and label is suddenly luokkatunniste. The whole blog is like a messy room, where every object has changed it's place at once. I feel like I've lost my ability to control my own blog and seems like I have trouble in understanding my own language as well.
I feel myself bit dim.
I think I have to go and buy the Dim Body Toutch Bra I saw advertised yesterday.



No. Probably having a new horrible looking bra wouldn't help me writing something more meaningful, so I will just copy-paste some dishes seen on some Finnish menus.

Shrimp and crap salad for two.

Grilled pork shop.

You can have crap on your pizza.

We give you water only when you ask.

Dead snails from Åland in garlic and butter sauce.

The cock is recommending today's beef.

We can serve your steak with much blood, some blood, or well-done.

Ice cream with warm bear halves and toffee sauce.

Finnish mushroom salad - wild, salty and sticky mushrooms with cream sauce and pickles.

Mexican burrito with mutilated chicken meat and salsa.

Try traditional Finnish pee soup.

We can bring the nuts and drinks to your room (room service card). Drink something if you want (room service card). On our breakfast table you will find the cheese, the meat and some others.

Omelet is made with recent eggs from a local farm where the chickens are alive.

This week is "bird meat week" but we also have a good selection of mammal meat.

Japanese guests can have traditional breakfast with stinky rice and fishes.

Tar ice cream - Finnish special. Good for people who eat tar and lingon berries.

Children's hamburger is served with the French Pizzas. After clock 21 are not. Sorry.

Meat with sweat and sour sauce.

Bit Thick Guinness-y Porridge


It seems like I might actually be better and the stomach flu flies away just before Easter and mämmi.

Dear Diary,

I could have got used to my sick-leave. Few days ago we went skating and came back to home when the sky was dark, almost violet. The snow was creaking and it shone like small stars had fallen on it's untouched surface. I told the cubs to look at it and they did, shouting: Yuck! We're in the Barbie World!



Today I was back at work. While I had been away there were mostly brilliant things and few minor catastrophes happened. But basically I went to see a building by the sea, had some coffee and bun, wrote something, ate excellent wasabi-tofu with sea weed, walked around to see the brilliant things and had some coffee with our lovely guest, who told that the biscuits we were eating had the same name I have.

After my tiring day, I was told about the skiing school and the first missing tooth, we went to the sauna and I found the surprise my dog had left into our bed.

Pop your bottles!

After having 3 days North Vixen diet of
sun dried tomatoes & mascarpone-soup,
rye bread,
apples,
gun powder tea
and
long matured cheddar,
we shall have a party.

Because
a) I'm not having a flu anymore
b) the most tiresome week at work is over
c) my second blogger year just started

The cubs made some treats for you:

J's surprise chocolate raisins
Look like normal chocolate raisins, except they are not. Contain well squeezed insects.

A's surprise bubble gum
Tastes like normal bubble gum, except after a while, a finely-sculpted bee flies out of your mouth with a yo-yo.

We don't have any music, this is a silent treatment party.
Nor we have a clown, karaoke, dance floor or an icy vodka bar with cloudberry decorations.
But we do have a well behaving
fox-family nutcracker.

Harvest time



The cubs were having a conversation. They couldn't decide which vegetables to take with them to the harvest feast.

J: I'll take a banana.
A: I'll take a clementine.
J: That's not a vegetable, silly.
A: I'll take a chocolate bar then.
J: That's not a vegetable!
A: Ok. I'll take an egg pudding then, pour it on my head
and add two blueberries at the top of it!
J: You should be a delivery pizza instead. We'd have a free ride!
