the awesome all-female metal band Aldious!
IKEA Dinner [Daily Photo #663]
When a restaurant adds a
new vegetarian meal to their menu,
can one stay home and not go try it? =D

Chocolate Bear [Daily Photo #659]
Chocolate bear, chocolate
bear,
You woke up in your lair
In the middle of winter
night.
Lured by the scent
Of coffee, you went
To search for something to
bite.

My June Pride Reading
My super-belated June
reading is introduced to you by Furiosa! All the books I chose for
June had LGBTQ characters. This time year I tried to feature more
countries. (You can also check my Pride readings from 2014, 2015 and
2016.)
The reviews contain some
spoilers, though I try not to spoil plot twists too much (with the
exception of the book that angered me).
Books:
- Meredith Russo “If I Was Your Girl” [USA]
- Chinelo Okparanta “Under the Udala Trees” [Nigeria, USA]
- Tittamari Marttinen “Ikioma perheeni” [Finland]
- Julia Ember “The Seafarer's Kiss” [USA, UK]
- Salla Simukka “Musta kuin eebenpuu” (Lumikki Andersson #3) [Finland]

Guttation [Daily Photo #651]
When I bought a Monstera last year I knew that they sometimes drip water from their leaves.
And it finally happened yesterday for the first time! =D Small joys
in life. This process has a fancy scientific name – guttation, and
it's perfectly normal. (You can read more about guttation here and
here).

Aldious – We Are [Daily Photo #646]
Time for one more souvenir from Japan from my brother-in-law, aka The Bringer of Japanese Gifts!
For some reason many
Japanese bands don't sell their music digitally on international
sites like Google Play or non-Japanese iTunes (looking at you,
Buck-Tick), so you gotta order actual CDs from online shops (unless
you have The Bringer of Japanese Gifts in your family, of course ;p).
But, some bands are worth the trouble!
One such band is…

Underdogs [Daily Photo #644]
I discovered Madder Mortem's music ages ago when I lived in Mordor, sorry, I mean Moscow.
There was a late night show on a rock and metal radio station, that
night's theme was Norwegian metal. They played a few songs by mostly
new to me bands and I even taped some of that show! As soon is Madder
Mortem's Rust Cleansing started playing I was hooked. It's still one
of my top 5* songs of all time. =D It's just so perfect in every
aspect!
* Well, I don't actually
have a top 5 list, that would be too hard to choose, but I know that
Rust Cleansing would definitely be there. ;p

Not Frozen [Daily Photo #643]
The weather has been all
over the place lately – snow, rain, fog, snow, drizzle… winter –
not winter – winter. Lakes haven't had a chance to freeze properly
yet which is a bit sad – I want to walk on lakes! Now! T_T

New Year, Old Books [Daily Photo #641]
Although I got quite a few new books last birthday and Christmas I decided to start reading one
of my “old” ones first, Planetfall by Emma Newman. I'm on Chapter
8 already and enjoying it a lot! ^u^ They say the way you start new
year determines how all of it is gonna be, so I guess my 2018 will be
full of books and space? ;p
