I'm sure they'll record the interview and put it up for listening.
They'd better, and soon. Even today's much-played Peter Steele isn't as dead as Tangra's live stream has been for the past twenty minutes. Was good to hear that the weather is nice down there, but whatever followed that remark would have interested me more.:err:
 
The left union party (Vasemmistoliitto) is out of Finnish government as they didn't accept the updated savings program. The government decided to cut child benefits as well as social and medicine support, which the left union sees as further weakening the position of low income households.

The Greens are likely to be next, if Fennovoima's nuclear plant gets approval.
 
Predicted average temperature anomaly for March. If this will be anywhere close, it's gonna be spring in Helsinki by a country mile :D

Well it seems that we have the Siberian winter this year, some saying the worst in 40 years. Hibernation has been long and I have cabin fever.
 
Bulgaria has the eighth cheapest local beer in the world.
One of the very few reasons for which I am happy to live in Bulgaria.
 
We will be changing prime ministers in June as Jyrki Katainen steps down. Apparently he's burned out, which is no wonder when there were six parties (now five) in the government..
 
Another rodent taking to the water. The burnout is understandable enough, but to say I'm gonna miss him would be a blatant lie. The question is, who'll step in to clean up the mess. Competent politicians are about as common in this country as koala bears and redwoood trees.
 
I have pretty amusing neighbours. This morning the one above me sang communist marches in the shower and the one below me has rented out his apartment for a movie shoot. The movie industry is present in full force - there're lights even in the hallway.

You sure they aren't shooting porn films?

Also, I sing commie songs while showering too.
 
Well, that's how it is when you have a dirty, pathetic mind.

All jokes aside, I've read some interesting articles about porn industry in Serbia - which is present, to my surprise, and I assume situation in Bulgaria is similar. In most cases, it is shot in director's (or some crew member's) apartment, on a low budget, naturally, and with the simplest equipment. Underground and independent. What will always baffle me is how do these people earn any money - if anything, you need to pay the actors, at least. I doubt many people will film for free, and in the age of internet, where everything is free, from high-level production to bedroom cams, I don't see any profit for indie porn filmmakers.
Come to think of it though, majority of those articles etc. I've read are several years old, before the great advent of Internet in Serbia, so all of that information is most likely dated.

And a disclaimer for the end of this weird post - I don't want to embarass myself further and don't want people here to think I'm some sort of porn addict, hehe. I actually avoid watching, for the most part, but I find the general topic to be very interesting - dare I say, fascinating, in this peculiar way, when looked from a certain standpoint. But that's another topic, and I've already said (too) much.
