Every now and again (read: whenever I need to avoid stuff I actually should be doing), I venture off to the deep end of the internet in search for something new to watch. At times, real gems can be found, and last week I bumped into a short film called Public Relations which is simply one of the cutest things I have ever seen ( Read more... )

When I first got into Hospital Central, many, many moons ago, I went through the whole 'watching clips without knowing a word of the language and relying solely on transcripts' phase. Somehow, I found myself doing the exact same thing again this past week, only the fandom and language were different this time around ( Read more... )

It's the season finale week of several shows on my watch list, but none of them impressed me the way Castle did; that finale episode blew all the others out of the water. Just...damn. Without a doubt, one of the best (if not the best) season finales there's ever been. I wouldn't change a thing about it, it was just that incredible. Watch and learn ( Read more... )

Who was it again that thought "Arquelogía de Mesoamerica" (Archeology of Mesoamerica; sheesh, no kidding!) would be a brilliant course to take this semester? Hmmm? Xicalcoliuhquí, Tlahuizcaliantecuhtl, Ixtlilxóchltl... Just a few of the terms I'm supposed to learn for the exam which is in a frigging week. I IZ DEDFortunately, fandom keeps me afloat ( Read more... )

Wah. After last weekend, the Basque Country (and San Sebastián especially) is now one of my favourite places on earth. I had no idea a paradise like that (the nature, people, the nature!) existed so close by. ♥ Also, Pintxos? About ten times better than your ordinary tapas.

Speaking of food, a while ago I raved about Sophie Dahl and her cooking ( Read more... )

Uhh, it's getting painfully obvious that I'll be ridiculously fat when I get back to Finland in the summer. All the food here is just so delicious! Delicious and totally bad for you. *sigh* Yeah, I think I'll go out for churros later on.

Anyway. I was baffled and annoyed to say the least when I watched last week's episode of The Forgotten (no, I ( Read more... )

Guess who's going skating tomorrow? Yes, it's been years since the last time I skated and I'm so chuffed about going again that I even have to mention it here. As a former Ringette player (I know, I'm such a stereotype), it's embarrassing that I don't whip out my skates that often anymore. Anyway, it'll be fantastic ( Read more... )

All my usual (read: American) fandoms have been a bit blah lately, so, instead, I've engulfed myself in Spanish TV which never seems to disappoint. This also offered me a chance to finally check out Cuestión de Sexo, a show about a group of family and friends & their messy relationships (I know, a brand new concept!). The show's 3rd season features ( Read more... )

Once again, Manchester was absolutely lovely. ♥ I always have a terrible urge to move there after I get back. What do you mean I'm planning on getting a PhD there? Yes, the weekend was perfect ( Read more... )

Somerfield is cruelly tormenting me and selling 'Frijj' milkshakes for only 50p a bottle. Those bastards. I'm forced to buy several whenever I'm there. Well, it is a source of calcium...

Anyway, CBS finally has a press release up for that upcoming Criminal Minds episode, and now I'm intrigued to say the least. Spoilery musings under the cut.

( 4x17, bring on the backstory, I say )
