Stuff of nightmares

Mu jõulukaktus on kurb, sest ma vist kastsin teda natuke liiga tihti. Edaspidi püüan ma oma lilli rohkem ära unustada.

Muide, täna sain ma teada, et on olemas selline süvamere elukas nagu vampiirkalmaar (vampire squid). Päriselt ka. Science'is oli pilt ka ja puha.

My christmas cactus is sad, because I apparently watered it too often. Next time I try to forget about my plants more.

Btw, today I learned that there is a creature living in deep seas called the vampire squid. Seriously. There was a picture of it in Science and everything.

Day 13 - a song that is a guilty pleasure

Ma ei tea, kas sellist laulu üldsegi on, mis oleks minu "süüdlaslik nauding" või kuidas seda nüüd tõlkima peakski... Umbes siis kui puberteet üle läks, sain ma aru, et ükskõik, mida ma kuulan, on täiesti normaalne asi, mida kuulata ja ma pole küll ennast eriti "süüdi" tundnud, kui mulle mõni lugu meeldib. 13-aastasena ei oleks ma kellelegi julgenud tunnistada, et ma raadio Elmarit kuulan, aga nüüd ei lase ma ennast põrmugi häirida sellest, et see pole just kõige enimlevinud minuealiste muusikaeelistus.

Aga et mingit laulu siia panna, siis mul meenus seda juttu kirjutades see lugu, mis tundus raadiost kuulates täiesti normaalne ja kuulatav lugu. Ja siis ma nägin selle videot. Ja siis ma sain teada, et seda laulab mingi punt poisse, kes kindlasti veel legaalsed pole. Peale seda polnud see laul enam endine (tähendab, see läks minu jaoks kuidagi palju halvemaks kuulata. Kindlasti oleks sel olnud vastupidine efekt, kui ma oleksin olnud nooremaealise demograafilise grupi esindaja)

I am not even sure that this kind of song exists. After living through puberty, I realised that whatever I listen to, is a completely normal thing to like and since then I haven't felt guilty about any songs I listen to. When I was 13 I wouldn't have told anyone that I like to listen to radio Elmar - a radio station that plays only Estonian songs and that mostly older people like - but now it doesn't bother me that most people my age don't like this sort of music.

But to put at least some song in this post, I, for some reason, thought of this song while writing this. It sounded like a completely normal song when I heard it at first on the radio and I even liked it. Then I saw the video and found out that it was performed by this bunch of guys not even legal yet. After that the song was never the same again (meaning that it got worse for me. Although it definitely would have had a contrary effect if I had been representing a considerably younger demographic group)
