i am alive, and in finland, it is nearly two in the morning. we watched some songvids, angel and smallville. i finished reading my non-econ plane book and was disappointed. i still have about nine chapters of econ to read.

wax's mother lives about 1.5 hours from granny/abo akademi. that is where we are. there isn't a big enough bed, but there was really no other choice about lodging. her mother is nice.

the BREAD in finland is. SO GOOD. i had forgotten, like. MMMH.

i spent about four hours in the copenhagen airport this afternoon making up for the eight cramped on the SAS flight. one whole concourse was deserted, and i stretched full length on a big bench slightly smaller than twin bed size, in the sun, snacked and read econ and dozed like a cat. made up a lot of the sleep debt, became highly contented. it's cold here; about what it was in AL in january, 10 C.

the remix redux stories have been released. there's a boromir-centric-ish remix of 'waiting for courage' there, and i'm not certain exactly how i feel about it. i dislike book!boromir and haven't ever given him much thought, as a character, and this story postulates another parallel between boromir's fall for the ring, and frodo's temptation by it and by sam, the latter two of which were the center of my story. the strong thematic thread is certainly very appropriate, and there's no doubt the author appreciated all the themes of my story.

from where i'm standing (which is to say, page 358 of a very large book), it looks like about 80% of economics is composed of circularly defining and redefining terms in relation to one another.

i want to bludgeon an economist. (but don't worry, mace_m, you're safe.)
