finland update

[cimorene]

got a mailing that consisted of a letter all in finnish, an information sheet in english on how to appeal a decision, a half-sheet, poor-quality xerox of a form letter stating that permits are now given out in finland, not via mail, due to a new policy; and a receipt for my processing fee.  they've been uploaded and hopefully wax will have translated by the time i wake up, so i won't have to have this stress headache for more than a few hours, and hopefully i won't get too many more stress-related pimples in that time.

p.s.: have you ever noticed how it's easier to sing "just get drunk cause mary's black" than "just get crunk cause mary's back"?
