asianstudies2006-list@utu.fi <- this is the one I got the mail from.

I'll paste the message so you don't have to wonder what it said:

Dear Applicant to the Asian Programme,

It is my pleasure to announce that you have been accepted into the Asian
Programme 2006. The teaching starts in January week 2 with the A-course.
Exact dates will be posted on our website at www.asianet.fi shortly.

You can find more about the Asian Programme and how to carry out studies
in the programme in the attached file. More information about specific
course requirements will be posted to you by email as each course
commences. Please follow your email carefully for more updates. If you
have problems opening the attached file, feel free to contact me.

Due to the large number of applications, the approval procedures took
longer than expected, and this letter was sent to all a little late.

Welcome along!

Sincerely,

Juha Tähkämaa
Planning Officer
University Network for East and Southeast Asian Studies

oh, and the attached file says nothing that's not on their website.

Things are going good for Jon Heder (Napoleon). He has six movies at some point of production right now, including:

"The Benchwarmers", a comedy about three nerdy baseball players with David Spade and Rob Schneider as the other two (Spade is good).

"Moving McAllister", an indy film in which he plays a boxer (no, not a nerd boxer), also starring Mila Kunis (That 70's Show) and Rutger Hauer (Don't Tell Me You Don't Know Who Rutger Hauer Is).

"School for Scoundrels": "Jon Heder plays an unlucky meter reader who enrolls in a confidence-building class so he can win the love of the girl of his dreams. The class turns out to be something quite different when it becomes clear to the young man that his professor (Billy Bob Thorton), has his sights set on the same girl."

Also, two upcoming animated movies get his voice and he plays opposite Diane Keaton in a comedy called "Mama's Boy".

Vote for Heder

Alright, thanks. I'm going to have to ask Juha to add me to that mailing list as well.

What will you guys be doing in these studies of yours? Sounds like interesting stuff, meet Asian women and all.

The girl in the background started irritating the hell out of me.

I can't stand it when someone TRIES to laugh because they know that is SUPPOSED to be funny, but they don't find it funny enough to laugh naturally.

Meeting Asian women....I wish

The Asia Programme and East Asian Studies Minor are suppose to give all-around view to present day East-Asia. The courses vary a lot but can be characterized as pol. sci., pol. hist., soc. pol.,economics as well as cultural and language aspects of the region.

The study programme Pekka and I are taking is network based meaning that the lectures will be attended via videolink and all papers will be handled electronically.

The main study programme that starts every Autumn however is traditional lecture based. I dont know about Pekka but I'm planning to add these programmes to my economics masters degree as a minor along with Japanese, Futures Studies and Statistics.


Heres more detailed information.

What's so great about meeting asian women?

I am surrounded by them, infact I am surrounded by about 10 of them right now.

Of course, if it's sluts you like, then I withdraw.

If you're looking for the decent ones, you have to enter into the more rural areas.

Well, I have no first hand experience of them since not many live here. From what I've seen they seem cute and nice people.

Sluts are not what I'm looking for, but most of women in any big city are sluts anyway. So, I can handle them too(to an extend)

Did you just openly call asian women sluts?

I'd love to meet some, variety is the spice of life

Asian women, at heart, are sluts towards "ang moh's", which means "red head" or a White man.
