Today I got my treatment-papers from my internet-doc. Aka Dad. I phoned him, he mailed me.

I need to stretch my knee even more than I have, and in a month or so when I'll be back in Turku I'll get a cortisone-shot into it. I <3 Cortisone/lidocaine, it would seem. After that one I'm up to a total amount of 4 shots to various joints. I'm starting to think the factory might have been a little sloppy on the production line.

And if it still continues to re-appear like this without me even jogging they'll throw a scalpel at me. My vote's on me getting the knife, but if you wanna vote against me I'll need you to show me some cash.

Apart from that we had a wonderful movie-day. We watched Evan Almighty yesterday, and I have to say it holds my favourite scene ever. The one where Evans wife asks him if he thinks God might've meant like a flowod of information or something instead of an actual flood, and Evan replies: "If he did, then I'm gonna be sooooo pissed."

I just can't stop laughing!

Anyway, today we saw Cougar Club (not so great) and Big Trouble (amusing). We also bought Memento (which is really good), X-men 3 (Enough with the damn rubber suits already) and an Auschwitz docu-movie. I'm really excited about the Auschwitz-thing but since it's 4 hours long I might save it for someday when I'm sick or something. I have this weird fascination with WWII things, especially the concentration camps. I think everyone has this need inside them to understand exactly what has happened and how it did. It really boggles the mind when you try to understand how, ultimately, people did that to people just the same.It's this weird feeling of disgust and fascination, and I'd really want to go to Auschwitz someday. I am with other people in that I don't think we should ever forget, but sadly I think we have. Not calling certain things in darfur certain parts of the world genocide is beyond me. So I while I can't change a whole lot that's been done and still is deing done, I try to feed my need for information and make sure at least I don't forget. And if we ever have kids they're gonna have the oddest rainy-day-movies in the neighborhood.

And finally, today I re-wrote the intro to my thesis heep of needless paper, 6 pages!

Wow. What a week. And what a 12-day trip. There's just too much to tell, and we took over 300 photos (well, Sami did). But I thought I'd brag about the main points.

The weather: about 38 degrees C. The water was almost just as warm, about 30C. When we went diving, it was still 29C at 12 m deep. Me, always being cold, loving it all the way. It was also very humid, you were dripping with water (and sweat) a minute after you step out the door. Thank god for the very well airconditioned rooms.

So we went diving, parasailing, exploring and had a spa-day during our stay there. Everything was just perfect and relaxing. The service was absolutely flawless everywhere we went and all the facilities were kept clean and in tiptop shape. The only thing about Koh Samed is that there isn't that much to shop. Well, we did buy a pair of pink "almost-there-but-not-quite"-crocs. I wouldn't die alone in the woods in anything pink, but my flip-flops broke and The Pinkies were the only beach-shoes in size 40 (yes, I know. Very feminine.). Still, it was just the perfect vacation and I recommend Sai Kaew Beach Resort to anyone. They give complimentary fruit baskets almos every other day. At least to us. And now, because of my laziness (and beacuse of the fact that we've told everything about the trip to his and my parents, and a few sets of grandparents), no more explanations. It's time for a few photos.
