So the bright light has finally made me miss Tartu again or maybe it's the optimal two-month absence. Yes, there is a pattern. I stalk Tartu. I go and google 'Tartu'. First I click Wikipedia: 'In contrast to Estonia's political and financial capital Tallinn, Tartu is often considered the intellectual and cultural hub, especially since it is home to Estonia's oldest and most renowned university.' Then I go back and look at the pictures, after which I open www.kv.ee and check available flats, the criteria are 1-2 rooms, floor 2-4, Vaksali or Tähtvere area, wooden building. Rarely something good comes up, I think the last one was Navitrolla's flat but it would be simply lame to get a ready-made flat, especially if Navitrolla was the most recent dude to inhabit the scene. As if the best times had passed already, which obviously is not the case. No. I expand the search to 3 rooms max and other types of houses but pictures of refurnished kitschy living spaces and cute nurseries put me off.
Now I'll google Johannes Pääsuke (maybe 'Johannes Pääsuke Tartu') and look at some good old photos.
And it's time to eat some more or go back to the dissertation which is not going all that well. I have no idea how many companies are operating in the Timan-Pechora Province and whether any of them will reply once I email them and ask for environmental and social action reports with finance details. Probably I will need to call them. But it seems more difficult things have been accomplished.

siin on muuseas ka aastaajale sobivalt valgeks ja õhuliseks läinud, aga kevad kui selline on esialgu siiski rohkem miraaž. igalpool on umbes poolemeetrine kiht lund ja koerajunne. nende hajumine võtab ilmselt veel mitu nädalat ja enne seda ei eksisteeri elamisväärne ja meeldiv Tartu ka kohalolijate jaoks (või siis eksisteerib väga väikestel laikudel, kus pole pori, räpast lund või liiga sügavat tavalist lund). niiet kirjuta aga rahus edasi, siin ei ole veel ägedaks läinud :)
