Here I am on the train towards this summers highlight. Finncon 2010. A whole weekend dedicatet to a science fiction. Can life be better. I don´t think so. Today there are not that many programs but on the evening there is at Sohwi a icehockey tabletop tournament that I thibnk I have to participate in. Haven't played icehockey for about 15 years so I think it's time to check if my skills are fit for this kind of stuff.
Just finnished reading an old Finnishwedish science fiction book by T. A. Engström called Rymdkulan (Spaceball). It´s a story about a ball of Palstinyl that takes a few young boys and a scientist out in space. It´s quite hillarious and a product of it´s time. Somewhere on the line there are quite a few racial steretypes and attytydes that the author tries to smooth over by saying that it does not matter if the color is black, white, yellow or green boys are always boys. (Witch is true). Then he tells the story aqbout Blackie Smith (A black boy) that has been bought by the proffesoor from a communal institution in Harlem. And the indian boy from Southamerica get a frequent question if he has ever tasted human flesh and so forth.
That is one of the books that I will present tomorrow at the Finnishswedish science fiction panel at 2 a'clock pm.
But now for something completely different. I have resignated from my job at Scanvision and Have only one week left. Then it´s time for me to start a new carrier on Haltik. That will be fun and I am really looking forward to that work. It´s gonna be a hard days work and I have to really do well if I am about to handle the job but right now I have a great deal of confident and I think I will handle it.
