We bought Tessa this stuffed pig since she hadn't had one in a long time. She is really good about never attacking and destroying my stuffed things or the cats toys.
The other day I heard this buzzing. I went to look out the window and saw it was this plane doing tricks. I got my camera and when I went out onto the balcony, I noticed lots of other people on theirs. I live right by the Malmi airport but the sound never bothers me. This sort of did but it wasn't like it went on all day. I mean it was the same sort of sound I recall hearing when I lived in Long Beach and they would have the Grand Prix.
Next think I knew, I was back in Finland. Well, almost. I just had to get through customs. This is from my mobile phone by the way.
Well, then I left the USA. All of the photos I took in LAX were deleted. Here is one lame one from Heathrow.
This is the second Chinatown I visited in California.
I watched my father cut nopales for my other grandmother.
Two Gryffindors and a Slytherin. More drinks in Las Vegas. That was during Lumos which they attended but I did not. Unfortunately.
I hung out with friends in Las Vegas. Here we are at the Bellagio.
I found this sign and took the obligatory night shot of it.
I rented a car and took a rode trip to Las Vegas to meet some friends.
I went to Santa Monica with my brother and sister where we saw "Strangers with Candy" and I bought some wizard gear.
I didn't stop taking photos of insects. There were plenty there, like this wasp. It has built a home right on my mom's porch.
I went to a birthday party for DJ Irene in Hollywood with my brother, sister and their friends.
I got harrassed every time I went through the bloody airport. Each time, I had to have my bags opened and swiped, had to walk without my shoes had to be patted down. For awhile there I thought I was on some insurgent list but my brother said that it was because I was flying nonrev.
Well, as I was visiting my friend often, I was flying a lot, in and out of Santa Ana. The take off there is really something. It goes just straight up.
