And finally an appearance from Aleks the disapeared one! Great pcitures! You have the COOLEST kitty! He (?) has a wonderfully unique fur coloring and it looks like quite a character! You gotta take a super cute focused desktop worthy picture I can download when I’m in a fuzzy mood! Also, where was it that you went to paint your own dishes! How fun! I’d love to try it! Maybe there’s somewhere in San Diego where I can do it when I get home… I know there’s one place in Santa Monica I never got to… speaking of home, my flight arrives at LAX on the morning of the 22nd. Eek! I’m soooo scared! It’s been a YEAR since I’ve been there and I feel quite good about where I am and with who. Tuomas and I are doing wonderful. We just got back from a 5 day trip to Amsterdam. Huge music festival with crazy mud because it rained… SO awesome although I need a good reason to go back to that city now because I’ve seen it so much. More notes on travelling: I get to come back to Europe! Woohoo! December sow madness in Finland. How exciting! I’m gonna try to ski. Also, I may be in Seattle to visit my family sometime in aug-sept so I’d love to go get a coffee with you or something. (yes, I drink coffee now!) Keep in touch! I’ve been on myspace lately too. www.myspace.com/vespersonicca pictures can be found.
