Two things:

 - I had the most awesome dream in the history of awesome dreams. I was Mickey Mouse, dictator of Duckburg! Goofy was my right-hand man; he had a daughter (who, bizarrely, was a mouse) and I had a son. Or well, I didn't actually see my son during the dream, but I know I had one, and that he was romantically involved with Goofy's daughter. A bad guy (who I'm pretty sure was Lloyd Simcoe from Flashforward) came to the castle and tried to kidnap Goofy's daughter, but I rescued her (go me!) and threw not-Lloyd's sorry arse in my castle's dungeons. Just before I shut the door of his cell, not-Lloyd shouted out that I cannot prevent that which is going to happen. To that, I grandiloquently replied "I shall lock this key into the treasure chamber until someone comes to me and says that he has come to prevent that which is going to happen," and slammed the door. The dream drifted away as I walked back up to the courtyard.

 - kahvialkemisti is a horrible, horrible person. She's trying to make me write Pansy/Ginny for the BDSM challenge that's due TONIGHT, even though she knows very well I've yet to do my gazillion-page essay on the comparative of monosyllabic adjectives for Structure of English (due the day after tomorrow)! I'm trying to resist, but will most probably fail.

The moments when I'm truly ashamed of living in Finland are not very frequent, but this is definitely one of them.

 - A police officer rapes a 15-year-old girl. What punishment does he receive? 20 months of probation and a fine.
 - A man hits beats wife, kicks her, pulls out chunks of her hair, strangles her, and then proceeds to rape her for hours on several occasions during the course of two years. What punishment does he receive? Three years. The sentence was reduced by four months due to the fact that rape includes beating and kicking, so they shouldn't be charged separately.
 - A man attacks a random woman in her courtyard and rapes her for over half an hour before a neighbour hears the sounds and calls the police. What punishment does he receive? 20 months and a fine.
 - A man molests two children and rapes a woman. What does he get? 18 months of probation and a fine.

Sometimes the judicial system of this country disgusts me so much that I don't know what I want to do. If there is one thing that America's gotten spot-on in their legal system, it's the treatment of sex offenders. If it were up to me, those men would get castrated and thrown into prison for the rest of their fucking lives. And not the luxury hotels that the Finnish prisons are - I'm thinking something along the lines of a good old-fashioned supermax. Child molesters... I'd say cut their dicks off with a salad fork, get them intimately familiar with a pineapple, and throw them into a room full of angry feminists, but that would be getting off too easy.

What the fuck is wrong with people.

Thank you, guys! A thousand comments during the course of 6 months, I'm pretty flabbergasted.

I promised to do something special for the occasion. Anybody got any ideas? Fic, picspam, anything. yorda_, you were the thousandth, you want anything? ;)

You know, even though I've got my share of angst-filled days, this is one of those moments when I remember that actually, I'm absolutely, completely, ridiculously happy and love my life way too much. I'm studying the subject of my dreams, I'm actually managing to manage my finances, I've got a bat-shit insane but nevertheless loving family, the best friends anyone could ever ask for, a girlfriend whom I'm completely arse over tit for, a flat that smells like tea, relatively pretty-coloured eyes (yes, a crucial factor in my happiness scale), a lovely, red, fuzzy rug, and a beautiful, healthy ficus named Bella.

See you on Monday.

So I've looked and looked all over the Internet for the perfect brownie recipe, but they're all stupid. Here's my own, which I adore!

Andy's Coconut-Vanilla Brownies of Doom

Ingredients

     Batter:

- 3 cups / 700 grams sugar
-  3 eggs (this makes the brownies very stale - if you like them soft and fluffy, use 4 or 5 eggs.)
- 9 ounces / 250 grams unsweetened chocolate
- 1 cup / 230 grams butter
- 3 tablespoons vanilla sugar
- 1.5 cupts / 350 grams flour
- 1.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 ounces / 50 grams coconut flakes

     Topping:

- 3 fluid ounces / 1 decilitre cream (whippable)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla sugar
- 1.5 ounces / 40 grams coconut flakes, or according to taste 

Instructions

1.  Set oven to heat to 350 F / 180 C.
2.  Set the stove to the lowest heat and melt butter and chocolate in a small saucepan. Stir occasionally. Resist urge to ditch the rest of the recipe and just eat the chocolate-butter mixture.
3.  While the butter and chocolate is melting, beat the sugar, vanilla sugar, and eggs for what seems like a fucking eternity, but is probably closer to 15 minutes. I use an electric beater mixer thing, so if you do it by hand, be prepared to spend a lot more time doing it - and if you're a bloke, a couple of days incapable of wanking.
4.  Stir in chocolate-butter mixture (or what's left of it after you've eaten half of it), flour, and salt until it's barely mixed. This is important! No excessive mixing!
5.  Stir the coconut flakes in carefully, not mixing the batter but more like... lifting parts of it and putting down on a different place. No vigorous movements! 
6.  After eating n+1 tablespoons of raw batter, pour the rest into a well-greased nine-by-thirteen pan (for metric system users, that would be... around 23cm x 32cm.)
7.  Bake in the middle section of the oven for max. 40 minutes. Seriously, don't forget to take them out, brownies are disgusting if over-baked.
8.  When the batter's baked, take it out to cool. Pour the cream and vanilla sugar into a small mixing bowl, beat until very, very fluffy. (Don't you dare use whipped-cream-in-a-can, I will personally hunt you down and shove the can up your arse if you do. That stuff is only good for when you want foodsmut and are too lazy to use the real stuff.) Resist urge to lick the electric whisk before you've unplugged it.
9.  Cut the enormous brownie into smaller pieces, this makes about 20 regular-sized ones. Let cool completely before topping every piece with a spoonful of vanilla whipped cream. Sprinkle with coconut flakes.
10. Eat too many and spend the night sicking up.

Random Fun Fact of the Day: When I was a kid, I thought The Police sang about 'Mary in a Coma.' Only around a year ago did I realise that it's actually 'Canary in a Colemine.'
