1) Spend most of the day (and of the week actually) contacting prospective clients for your newly-founded translation outfit via email. 2) Take a break when snail mail comes. 3) Check your snail mail. 4) Unwrap the two 1940s ties you ordered a while back, admire them, gloat a bit, and wrap either one around your windpipe. 5) Contact some more prospective clients (see point 1) via email. 6) Call a break when you go hungry. 7) Eat some self-made spaghetti based on your mothers take on the classic bolognese stuff. 8) Resume the activities described in points 1 and 5 until utter exhaustion and/or until the end of the list available thanks to the wonders of modern communication technology. 9) Go whew!, check the answers youve had thus far, and congratulate yourself for a) getting the job done and b) getting some rather promising feedback. 10) Treat yourself to an episode of Doctor Who on TV. 11) Indulge on a whim. 12) Decide to go out in that rusty Sachertorte 1950s suit of yours with either one of the two latest additions to your swing tie collection around your windpipe, with a fedora on your head, and with the cane in question in one hand. 13) Ride a bus to downtown Helsinki. 14) Indulge on a whim. 15) Go to a department store. 16) Unearth a beautiful coffee-table book on Federico Fellinis films on sale. 17) Consider the very customer-friendly price. 18) Acquire the book. 19) Start feeling extremely Felliniesque. 20) Hear Nino Rotas melodies in the autumn evening air. 21) Free the book from its plastic bag since such a container cramps your style and the books style too and carry the volume under your arm once you have removed those highly unaesthetic price tags as well. 22) Stop every now and then to leaf through the book and to whistle the main theme from Amarcord. 23) Feel how your immediate surroundings start looking - and sounding - like a Fellini film. 24) Indulge on a whim. 25) Decide to go and see Woody Allens Magic in the Moonlight since the next screening will start in a matter of minutes. 26) Enjoy it very much (especially Darius Khondjis cinematography and the righteous selection of period music Mr Allen has put together for your listening pleasure). 27) Return home with the book under one arm and with the cane in question in one hand. 28) Observe the gossamer moon on a hazy night sky. 29) Write this.
