The great and fantastic events of May Day have passed, plenty of drinks spilled in the city of Oulu and I think there was a moment yesterday when every single inhabitant of the town were in the centre. It was fantastic! Great fan that I have celebrated with work and lots of over time. Had some interesting conversations with Tobi. Although he has not participated in the events in the park. Which was sitting around and chatting away slightly bored and sunned out. Others were, I came late. But Tobi wasn’t in the park anyway. He had boycotted the events in solidarity for the workers who have not the chance to celebrate the wonderful day of the 1st of May! This is the spirit. I know of people who have betrayed their wows easily. Tobi spent the afternoon home watching Stargate Atlantis. I will not comment on that further.
He has not provided me with an alternate song that could be published on the internet but has compromised to share the opening of the song that goes:
‘Oh Middle Class, Oh Middle Class
Content and Idle you are!
800 Million Cars you love,
Motorization you surely are…’
And it gets into it after but we agreed to try avoiding serious offenses.
Of course there are plenty modern or post of that thinkers who argue that the class society is a thing of the past, but maybe even they are old fashioned by now. Don’t know. I am not even sure about the 800 million cars.
I think he got it from Doctor Who. We were watching it on Sunday, it is a family event for us. It gets aired on Sat nigth so we can download it on Sun. You can imagine the whole family squashing in front of the laptop screen: Molly - imagined to be sitting on someone’s head in her adult shape, Moses - literally squashed between people and Tobi acting like a dragon with no manners (that might be so ‘cause he…), Jen, Lili and I and occasionally some fairies. None of us can see what’s going on only Lili is fortunate enough to be in the middle, oblivious to our life to death struggles for a glimpse on the screen holding our head in the correct angle.
Luckily we don’t have to put up with product based branding advertisement watching TV on the net. Only the general image branding of the shows which can be handled relatively well, one only needs to keep assessing knowing that our primary objective is to be entertained and not acquiring direct cultural characteristics. It is more difficult for Tobi, he is not always so sharp eyed.
Lili I am not so worried about. The other day Tobi and I were watching Stargate Atlantis and made the terrible mistake of not checking what the episode contains before letting Lili in. Some of the episodes are rather entertaining while most of the drama passes way over her. In this one a scary Wraith (main villain) queen appeared and provided plenty of concerns for her. I decided on aborting the viewing and… I will continue tomorrow!
