Let Ida be your personal TV-guide

There are some rules when it comes to watching TV. The most important one being: All great shows air at impossible hours.
This is a rule with some modifications. Because great shows will always find their way to the masses (meaning: they will all, at some point, start to air at 9pm).
So the rule should be: [...]

G-rated?

Woke up in the middle of the night and started thinking about the stupidity of rating TV-shows.
For instance, why do Wallander movies have an F15 rating and air after 10pm when a show like Emily of New Moon is considered family oriented and airs at 6pm, right after the regular children’s program?
I get serious angst watching [...]

How you know that you’ve been single way too long

It started quite unnoticeable. I read book nr one, two and three of the Stephanie Plum series. And I thought they were really funny! Stephanie being a lousy bounty hunter, blowing up cars all the time, and having to work alongside an ex-whore and her grandmother who likes to look at corpses. It was hilarious! But now [...]

Movement

My TV dependency has reached new levels.
When I moved in to my new flat I quickly came to the conclusion that they only support digi-boxes with cable function in this building. Crap for me since my box (50 euros I had to pay for it two years ago!) only functions with antenna.
With the excuse that I’m [...]

Review: Let the right one in

(spoiler alert! only for those who have watched the movie!)
So I had read the reviews before watching this movie (Låt den rätte komma in/Let the right one in by director Tomas Alfredson). Everyone said it was great. A sweet coming of age story about a boy who befriends a girl-vampire.
In my eyes, this was not [...]

What to do at five o’clock in the afternoon

Every time I get sick I am horrified by the decay of the Finnish television. Where are all the reruns of Little house on the prairie or MacGyver?? There is absolutely nothing on between 10am and 1pm, and when they actually start to air something other than TV-shop we are forced to watch shows like “we’re [...]

Movie time

I just wanted to recommend a movie to all of you who have Sub-TV. It’s called Järntrean/Rautakolmonen/3-iron and airs tomorrow at 9pm. And don’t worry about it being on Finnish TV – they don’t say that much, in fact I don’t think the main character says anything at all.
It’s a Korean movie about a homeless guy [...]

Just some advice

I’m having a TV-free evening and I’m feeling the abstinence problem already. Two hours of TV a day is the minimum for me if I don’t want to start sweating and itching.
Today, however, would have been the perfect day to watch TV since I got the bill for my TV-licence. People who live outside the [...]

Books I’ve read

 
 
I saw this in facebook and thought it could be fun…
The BBC believes most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here.
Instructions:
1) Look at the list and put an ‘x’ after those you have read.
2) Tally your total at the bottom.
3) Tag others and pass it on.
Here’s the list:
1 Pride and Prejudice [...]

I’m in love every Tuesday

With my experience I can fall in love without even seeing the program in question. I can get hooked without even having to watch a single episode.
This is what happened with “Pushing Daisies”.
And I didn’t even have to see the plastic-wrap kiss, my heart literally skipped a beat just because they pretended to hold hands.

More romance to our [...]
