Bloody Bonner x 3

Mary, Mary, quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells, and cockle shells,
And pretty maids all in a row.

And Now for Something Completely Different

Some lolcats I made, that didn’t make the cut onto the voting page:




It should read "Wir können", but the Lolcat Builder doesn't support scandic letters.

Sad Day

I’m not sure if I should write about the Jokela High School shooting at all. I’ve thought about it since yesterday. Long before the papers or TV caught on or wanted to give details, the details were all over the net. The identity of the killer, his videos and writings, his press release photos, descriptions given by some of the students that were actually there - all over the Internet.

I have no answers. I don’t wish to contemplate his motives or if it could have been prevented. Also somehow I feel this blog isn’t the right platform to discuss the incident - not yet, at least. I wouldn’t want any family member or friend of a victim to wonder to my blog and read my thoughts on this - next to the Hello Kitty background.

In some way I also don’t want to participate in giving the perpetrator any more personal publicity. I’m not going to link to his picture, say his name or talk about his personal history. You’ve probably already seen and heard everything there is to know at this point.

Just one thing I wish to mention: The Times article had it all wrong. There’s nothing particularly Finnish about the tragedy. It could happen anywhere.
