Earlier today I alluded to my first nightlife experience in Estonia.  Yike.  As a result of that night, I had something of a slow day, and may have not woken up until well after noon.  Anyhow,  Estonian bars.  I went to two, so it’s probaly not really that representative, but maybe it is?  Yeah.  What about Estonian bars?

They love flaming shots.  Seriously, they light every shot on fire.  And they don’t just have shots of whiskey or tequila, they’re these elaborate concoctions that involve four or five different things.  Also crazy: they drink their shots out of straws.  Seriously.  It’s about the silliest thing I’d ever seen.  Like, they line up the shots, light them on fire, and then everyone grabs a straw.  I just picked one up and drank it like an American (aka like it’s supposed to be drank!) and everyone got angry with me.  Also, they sell them in sets of five, and the glasses come in these cute little trays.  Anyhow, it was weird.  I didn’t actually drink that much cause I didn’t want today to go to waste.  Unfortunately, the fact that I left at 2am pretty much already meant today was going to be less than productive.  Silly silly.

So how unproductive was today?  I did flash cards for a couple hours, so that was nice, and I took a nice walk, but for some  really silly reason I decided to go see a movie.  Seriously, I never see movies, but I was standing in front of a theater right as the new X-Men movie was starting, and before I knew it I was inside with a large Pepsi, sitting in my assigned seat.  Yeah, they assign seats.

Last bit- there’s a music festival thing going on this weekend, and the city has posters for it everywhere.  Filter and PiL are the only bands I’ve heard of (incidentally, Filter came up on my iPod the other day.  What a mind-melting coincidence!!!).  Some of the bands have pretty cool names, though I won’t comment on which ones in particular caught my attention.
