Get up get up get up get up

Morning.
I woke up with this song in my head (that always happens to me... sometimes SUCH RANDOM songs... love it... its going on my "simple pleasures" list). I'm going to blog about it when it happens.
Cansei de Ser Sexy

(what a cool name for a band- translates into Got Tired of being Sexy)

This song is my inspiration for today. I hope you guys listen to it because doing so first thing in the morning is making me absolutely sure that my day will be a goodie. You too you too!!

Speaking of songs...
Does anybody else notice random coincidences as much as I do? (and another thing that is going on that list to the right) Whenever it happens, or whenever I have a deja vu, it makes me feel like I am on the right track. All day yesterday while I was being a house mouse and listening to the radio, I was vaguely wishing I could hear Violent Femmes (a teenage fave... Angie once told me that everytime she called me in highschool, she knew it would be playing in the background). But I have NEVER heard a Violent Femmes song here, nor have I heard any Finnish friend mention them, nor have I even listened to them for years. I think I tried to play some in Joensuu, and it got very swiftly shot down.
But last night, at about 10:30, on came Blister in the Sun!!! Ironically, I think. It's bye bye to sunshine for Helsinki.

So now we have to think of fun things to do in Finland to keep our spirits up. Right now this song is doing it for me. My 11 year old pal recommends eating "some salty bits, so things don't get too gloomy".
What do you do to keep things upbeat?

PS I just heard a foghorn!!
