positively negative temps

frosty winter morning
colors of the sky have turned all oily
like the whole thing was made of cheap petroleum
smoke hangs frozen in between tall buildings
looking more solid than it has a right to be
first hunded or so meters of it like an impregnable wall
of heat, some carbon dioxide and waste
an obstacle for the birds

as opposed to the previous winter post, now it's really winter, finally. last friday we watched an inconvenient truth which, even though we probably knew most of the facts, was something of an eye-opening experience and comes highly recommended. the film hit the spot partly because the things it tells about are self-evident in here. this is january and we didn't really have snow or sub-zero temperatures before last sunday.

this is finland. i know some people think there are polar bears and igloos in here (usually the same folks who think that finland is a part of russia and europe is a country). we don't have those things ... but we should fucking have a proper winter! i never liked it much, personally, but it should start in october or november at the latest.

thank you, george w. and your army of SUV-driving soccer moms. thanks to you we'll probably be having our summer holidays in december a couple of decades from now. underwater.
fuckwit.

on a more positive note, i have a new computer. only after using the 20" imac for a week did i realise how much i have avoided turning on my pc, how uncomfortable it has been to use. makes me wonder whether i would still be using hardware to do music if i had had a mac for the past ten years ... or would i be doing some glitchy laptop electronica...?
