    Engaged at 20 or younger ...?

    Well, I was 29 when we got engaged (after 1.5 years of dating of which 5 months living together). And I was 32 when we got married (last August). So we had absolutely no rush and we do not want any children, ever. :)

    Jarkko Nieminen has finished high school (or the Finnish equivalent of high school). He was very determined to get that done although he was starting his pro career at the same time. :)

    Avatar! (believe the hype)

    I saw Avatar yesterday at a 3D theater. It was fascinating with all the 3D effects. The story itself was not much surprising, but I've seen worse. ;) But I can imagine that there will be several 3D movies coming soon. :D
