When the beating of your heart echoes the beating of the drums

The Finnish Parliament is going to vote about gay marriage and adoption today, so the occasion calls for a picture of Freddie and Stuart dressed in suits.

The gentlemen have also been added to my Favourite Fictional LGBT Couples post. I don't think any TV show has made me laugh as hard and continuously as Vicious.

I do hope the Parliament will have the courage to set Finland towards the direction that all the other Nordic countries and several Western countries that we want to be grouped with have already taken.

Edit// 105 out of 200 MPs voted in favour of the new law! 

Library treasures

Hi everyone! The local library was holding an outlet book sale, meaning they were selling out their old library books for just TWO EUROS each, so of course I went. Good thing too, because I found some pretty amazing books. 

First, something you never see on the shelves of Finnish bookstores: ALL of Charles Dickens' Christmas stories! 

Christmas Books contains all of the novellas, of which I've only read A Christmas Carol so far.

Christmas Stories compiles all the short stories, and I don't remember reading any of these. What a happy Christmas I'm going to have, getting through all of this!

Then there's this one little book that I picked up just because it was pretty and French. 

And finally, indulging my habit of collecting sheet music from musicals.
