Getting army troops to stimulate your domestic economy suggests a bizarre analogy with the Opium Wars, which were themselves quite bizarre.

The boredom hump: your awareness of your own lack of motivation when pursuing a new interest resulting from a lack of understanding of the nature of the new material.

En ole arkkitehti, mutta puiden istuttaminen korkealle kerrostalon rakenteisiin vaikuttaa haastavalta. Muuten kaikki vihreys ja vehreys hivelee silmää.

I tried to watch the new Frankenstein film, but I was quickly reminded that stomach bugs and some films don't mix well. I'll try again soon.

I was sick for two days, so I watched a lot of films.

I watched the new Ghostbusters film which I loved because of nostalgia.

It's a very American film: even if you are a ghost, you can go to jail, and even then real estate is a nightmare.

I watched Sisu yesterday. It was a great action film about the importance of fighting nazis.
