Looking forward to next year's Tuska!

Phew. This was a tough one. At 2005's Tuska Open Air there were many rumors about the strict rules and levels the gouvernment of Helsinki was giving the festival - and that it was pretty unclear if the festival would ever be again on that beautiful location. But now it seems like reason is coming back to the Helsinki Environment Center as BLABBERMOUTH.NET is reporting.

Alias is set to quit?

It's a pity. I am a big tv junk for Alias. Or should I better say "I was" and - I am again? Because the series was never really successfull over here. First they aired it on Pro7 in late 2002 - that's when I got hooked up with it. But most of the second season I was unable to watch when my new flat had no cable connection. Now thanks to Bobo I have the complete DVD box for season 1 and 2 and watch like a junk what I missed and forgot over the last 2 1/2 years. But just as I'm getting in the mood again they quit the series in the states with the end of number season 5. Just two month ago on October 6th New York Times praised the female role concept of the series. Alas, according to the German fanpage sd-6.de this will be the final course. (Thanks to Cynx for spreading the news.)

Two Flickr-Gimmicks for the addicted

I'm a flickr addict. I don't have that many pictures on, but I am subscribed to some tags and I like the system - you can be as involved as you want to be but if you have no time it doesn't matter. The best new gadget to serve this addiction is the memory by PIM PAM PUM. Play it endlessly!

Not this sporty but very surprising is the Spell with flickr page, and this is what my name looks like:
