bad girls

i was out to buy something in the late afternoon and every second man i saw was carrying a bouquet of roses. ah, its valentines day, so makes sense. i forgot about the whole thing and ordered a grocery delivery for tonight. dr forgot as well, he is even less interested than me. now he is ordering take away though. im just keen on maybe getting to watch The Apprentice tonight and do some life admin that i've procrastinated.

a couple days ago i got a new tattoo. its been years and i finally felt inspired again. just took time to get my head around it, find the right artist etc. by chance the one i found (volkan demirci) is turkish and we had a good chat about the bars in kadiköy etc - we have enjoyed the same areas of istanbul. the tattoo is basically just my thought of how there is a universe inside of everyone. (perhaps an ironic idea, when we are all also just a grain of sand arent we)

last week i was in Toronto to see Hanna and her new home. Carilyn only joined us on wednesday. 3 middle aged women and wine.... we had a blast. i worked monday to wednesday but it was lonely as i could only catch a few afternoon meetings. mostly we just hung out at Hanna's and chilled, the purpose was to catch up on things really. also before Carilyn's arrival we watched True Detective S1 - which i had not seen (it was on my list, just never got around to it).

and we played Bad People of course. harsh truths, lol.

aside from airport, a pub and a couple of restaurants the only thing i saw was the shoe museum which is near Hanna. so this was really truly just a visit to a friend. i did see KPR too one afternoon, its been 18 years so... weird. but he looked pretty much the same. 

Button & Sprung where i got the mattress from sent this sock with it. it said that to receive the pair i should leave an interview. kind of exxtortion... but i was quite happy with everything so i did it. not thay i need more socks but...

im still thinking about Poor Things. Guardian asked several film critics, writers and others to give their thoughts and it was a mixed bag, but very interesting to read.

and finland has a new president. not the one i voted for, but also im realistic and honestly it could be worse. so im just mildly disappointed.
