Well, it's that time of the year again. The tickets for the Helsinki International Movie Festival (or Rakkautta & Anarkiaa in Finnish) which is held from 17.9. to 27.9. came on sale today. I spent yesterday evening going through the festival catalogue trying to decide what movies I wanted to see and after that checking their airing times & dates ( Read more... )

I really haven't had the time or energy to watch the various clips I've been saving for a couple of weeks (or even more) now, since my work schedule has been mostly 5 days of work, one day off, 5 days of work, one day off ( Read more... )

Ouch! I just finished watching the one-hour-special thingy that aired right before the last episode of the j-version of Hana Kimi. And now I'm having fanficcy thoughts...

I'm really liking Natsuki Takaya's Fruits Basket of which I recently read books 4 and 5 (160.-161.). It seems that the Sohma curse really is a curse for most of the family, since they all seems to have some sad and painful memories that are related to it and to other people's reactions when they find out.

This weekend was the Helsinki Book Fair, but I gave it a miss, since I had promised my sister that I'd go take care of the kids as they had planned a weekend trip with several of their acquaintances. Ronja (almost 5) and Eemeli (3) are very nice and very well-behaved children, and I do enjoy taking care of them every now and then. Still, it's still ( Read more... )

I realized that I haven't yet posted on the rest of the films I saw at the film festival last week. This week has been pretty exhausting at work, since I've been on a very intensive training course in my new team. It's all been very interesting, but also very exhausting, since I've been trying to absorb huge amounts of new information in a very ( Read more... )

*sniff* Oh Nakatsu!!! Even though it's inevitable that Sano and Mizuki are going to end up together in this drama, I am totally shipping Nakatsu and Mizuki.

I was rewatching the NEWS DVD earlier today, and I just can't get over how entertaining it is to watch a documentary lasting about 24 minutes which consists mainly of six young guys eating different foods and telling the camera that the foods are tasty or delicious... "Umai! Oishii! Umai! Oishii!..." I just can't get those exclamations out of my ( Read more... )

Since today was payday, and I got my holiday pay and will be starting it tomorrow, I decided to splurge on a pile of manga :). I got three more books of Samurai Deeper Kyo (15-17), Nana 6, Her Majesty's Dog 6, and Vision of the Other Side 1-2. Unfortunately, my manga provider didn't have HMD 5 or Wallflower 12 in stock :P. They said that they would ( Read more... )
