Well, that was Christmas then. It was a highly typical one for me, with seeing relatives on Christmas Day as well as St. Stephen's Day (Boxing Day), and spending Christmas Eve at home like always. I got some nice gifts (w00t! A new iPod, as my old one was falling to pieces), and it was a lovely Christmas all around ( Read more... )

It's that time of the year again when fall premiers roll around and I'm having trouble deciding which shows to watch and which simply to ignore. It also means that, after a brief summer hiatus, I start gushing and fangirling over Criminal Minds again, because that show is the. best. thing. ever ( Read more... )

I went to see Maija Vilkkumaa (excellent, excellent Finnish singer) at Galax yesterday with godwana. Fantastic gig, most definitely one of the best ones of hers I've ever been to. It was also refreshing that they'd changed the setlist quite radically from last time. Although, just hearing Kristiina live makes it all worth while ( Read more... )

So, the other day I nearly set fire to one of the buildings I work at. Note to self: never place anything on the hot plate if you can't be 100% certain it isn't on. The smell of burning paper/plastic was absolutely revolting. I really don't want to know what could've happened if I didn't react as quickly as I did ( Read more... )

They will finally release Bad Girls on DVD over here. Only five years too late, though. Anyway, this made me think of all the fantastic British series I've come across, and naturally I made a list of the first ten I thought of. So I could pimp them to you as well, of course. I'm sneaky that way.

I think I overdosed on House. I did absolutely nothing productive yesterday and simply sat in front of the TV, wading through Season 2 of the aforementioned series. If I hear someone say "respiratory distress" once more...! Other than that, House rocks.

The 79th annual Academy Awards today! Wheee! Ellen live on my television screen = <3 Seriously ( Read more... )

I started thinking about OTPs yesterday when I walked home from uni at 10 p.m. [thanks to a frigging movie night thingy for North American Studies. the movies were good-ish, though, thank God]. In my mind I listed parings that have somehow truly affected me as a crazy, little, fangirly person. So, today, instead of concentrating on my Accents of ( Read more... )

Ellen's on the cover of the new Advocate, obviously because of all the Oscars hassle. And really, can this woman be more gorgeous? The first two make me want to lick the screen. Or something.

Wheee! Winter is finally here! *dances around all excited* It's freezing outside and I love it. <3 This winter has been way too warm so far and it should get warmer again during the upcoming weekend. Winter! Yayness ( Read more... )

I am completely and utterly bummed to be back in Finland. While I love my small country like woah, Ireland was just so unbelievably gorgeous and fantastic and warm and amazing and did I say gorgeous already? I want to go back, buy a little cottage somewhere in the countryside and sit on a stone fence playing the tin whistle the rest of my life ( Read more... )
