A Dreamer's Hideaway

Hollywoodian visuals and changes aside, it was pretty good. I really liked the fact that the story wasn't about the characters created by Verne, but people who had read the Verne's book.
The acting was terrible, but I wasn't expecting that from this film. I was expecting stunning visuals and a dreamy-yet-dangerous atmosphere.
Some scenes were too over the top though. Like the fight with the carnivorous plants, or one of the first scene inside the cave, the one where the trio falls down for a lot of seconds. But hey! It's just fiction, these things doesn't matter.

I'll always like Journey to the Centre of the Earth, no matter how bad the adaptation will be. It's one of those stories that can make my eyes shine, that can let my imagination run wild. The other story that I know can do this is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Ronald Dahl, ever since it was read for the first time by my Italian teacher back when I was 7, 8 or 9. I can't remember that well. =)

Yep, It's time to update a bit this blog again.
I have new plans. It doesn't matter anymore if people read my blog or not. I will write just for the sake of writing. :) I'll write about a specific topic for each day. Example: Monday - music, Tuesday - life, and so on. I have yet to decide the link between days and topics, so today I'll write about the first thing coming to my mind. Also, if someday there's something I want to write more than other days, I'll ignore the topic of the day and write about it.
So, ok, that's all for now :) Maybe later this day I'll kick off this blog.. for the second time.

Until then, here's a song from Irish Folk band, The High Kings, titled: Rocky Road to Dublin.

Enjoy :)

Hey guys - it's a bit late here in Italy, 00:30 to be accurate. Still, while browsing for scandinavian cams, I found a gorgeous webcam from Visby.

For those of you who didn't know (and I was one of you before today), Visby is a city located in Sweden. But enough talk, watch this pic. Click on it to see it in full dimensions.

I mean, come on. Just look at the sky. Isn't it wonderful? I find it breathtaking. So breathtaking that I had to post it despite my laziness, eheh..

However, I also want to post a pic from a pastry I found while surfing wikipedia. I'm absolutely curious about it, I want to taste this.. Runebergintorttu.


Wikipedia says it's seasoned with almonds and rum, with raspberry jam in a sugar ring. Yum Yum. Want to taste it absolutely. Too bad it's easy to find just in Finland and only during a particular month =(
I'll go to eat my chocolate milk with biscuits now - too sad they are simple biscuits and not that delicious yummy yummy.

Hey guys!

Just a quick update on this blog's status: I put a template I found, since the project I have in mind will take a lot of time. But I'll swear it will be done. It's just a long and tiring work to do. I already have it in mind - it will be about the ocean. I can't say anymore.
But I'm so excited about it! I hope you'll like it when it will be ready. I have to start a quest for the nicest photos, and then I'll code it.

At the moment I feel a bit sad, right now Nightwish are playing at Sauna Open Air, a Finnish Open Air festival. I would have loved to be there, hepping and singing along.
Next time they'll be here, I will buy a ticket. Alternatives? Yep, Going to see them abroad in 2010. On the first show of the tour, so the setlist will be a surprise.. if I had done this for Brixton Academy in 2009, I would have probably died when the beginning of Dead Boy's Poem came in.
If I survived that, I would have died 120% the moment Jukka started drumming the now famous intro to Ghost Love Score, which is surely in my top 3 favourite songs of all time.

I am sad for another thing, too. Today I've put in the stereo Iron Maiden's "A Matter of Life and Death" CD. I started to sing along, and I pretty much sucked. I didn't have the voice, I couldn't switch well from head voice to chest voice.. I hope to be more in shape next time. And I should remember - no coffee, no milk before singing. Ever.

Now I'll go drinking some water and posting a bit on Nightwish Forum. I hope the guys there are prepared, a storm of boredom and apathy will come over there when I'll log-in.

Bye!

Hey! Finally I've re-opened a blog, too.
You know, sometimes seeing someone's blog make you want to create one too. And which blog pushed me to create this one? Yep, some of you has already guessed. Anette's Blog. I recommend it to everyone, it's full of nice posts and really great photos.

Some of you may also ask what I will talk about in this blog. I'll try to talk about everything that touches me, so I'll review CDs, films, books.. and I'll also try to speak about social things, like rights, opinions on modern society.. and for those of you who love to hear things about lives.. well, you won't be disappointed.

Last thing I have to say: I'm truly sorry for how it looks this blog. I'm currently talking with some wonderful guys about how it will look like, so they can provide me a great design!

Until the next time.. see you! And hugs!
