Rainy day entertainment

We went to pick some macarons from Lidl and decided to make some nacho box and watch Merlin. Perfect evening.

Scent of the night

I found my new addiction tv series called Penny Dreadful, it's about supernatural things and it's really new tv series. Anyway I'm almost end of first episode aka pilot and I'm so thrilled. Not only because it includes great actors like old James Bond (and my one favorite) Timothy Dalton, Billie Piper, Josh Hartnett, Eva Green etc. but this's so very interesting and dark series.

And I love scent of syringa and how little rain makes it softer and fresher. That's my favorite smell of the summer.

A month of shopping

Now, let's have a hot cup of tea (or mocha, your choice) and think about this past month. I landed back to Finland on Sunday and spent two holiday days in Helsinki with my friend and I also met my sister for a long while.
Now I'm at home and I sorta feel like having post-travel-depression. I've spent whole month around people all the time and now suddenly I sit alone in the dark room. That's the first problem I must pass, I used to love spending a lot of time alone and suddenly it's a massive problem.
Also I feel blank right now; what now? what's next? This was the big trip I waited? What now? In shower today I got feeling that the trip never happened and it's still coming.
No Elisa, it's over.

Okay, now something happier.
I opened my suitcase and put everything I've bought for myself to one pile and took a picture of it. First I thought that I make post about those here, but maybe I just show some of them and tell something of those things.

Skittles
I fell for Skittles in UK, I bought first a small bag of Crazy Sour Skittles and then immediately I was sold.

Harry Potter stuff
I bought a lot of Harry Potter stuff for Mira so I needed something for myself too. I found this top from Camden Town and Hogwarts top came to Primark after couple weeks.

Treats
In UK we ate a lot of Tesco's 'meal deals' which included sandwiches or pasta salad, small bag of chips and a drink. I tried these cool looking chips and in some weird way I liked them a lot. Lilac bag is pickled onion and yellow bag is roast beef.
Cadbury is chocolate factory in Birmingham so I want to try their chocolate (because no chocolate has won Fazer). And M&S had these cute Where's Wally - chocolates.

Television shows
I have now all Sherlock seasons on my shelf and I decided before this trip that I try to find Vicious DVD. Merlin was spontaneous need. I love Merlin and especially the first season is so gold. Of course there was so many other shows too like Miranda, Doctor Who, Adventure Time, Supernatural and even Gimme Gimme Gimme.

Jewels
I didin't buy a lot of jewels like I usually do. I bought from Claire's earrings for me and for my friend. I bought her doughnut earrings and for myself these skulls. In airport I went to Accessories store and found immediately this cute anklet. Oh summer, I wait for you!

Doctor Who
Also as a big Doctor Who fan I bought some gems. I bought sonic screwdriver key chain for my old work friend. For myself I found perfect Doctor Who poster (from episode where Vincent Van Gogh painted this and because I admire Van Gogh's paintings and this was so like his real style) in sale there was Dalek key chain and then my first Doctor Who item, the magazine.

Tea lover
My school gal wanted this Twinings 'mango & strawberry' tea and when I found it I had to buy same for myself too and next to it was this other delicious name 'cherry & cinnamon'. I bet those both are amazeballs.

Also I bought Adventure Time cup. I had hard decision of what kind of mug I buy. Long while I was so sure about Princess Bubblegum but then I decided to take this where are also Princess Bubblegum but also Jake, Finn and Lady Rainicorn.
Also you can see that my fab Adventure Time dress arrived. It's so globbing amazing.

Favorite album

I found this amazing band when I searched music for my traveling playlist and now I'm making a music video school project to their song 'Beauty' which is by the way the greatest song for a long while.

Now just couple days/a week back they released their first album and I'm so happy to witness this beauty they've created. 

Can't complain. Just amazing.

Movies I've waited to see this year

The Book Thief

I love this book and I'm so happy that Jussi got it for me from second hand.

I don't usually like history movies about war but this was so different. I liked also this detail when the storyteller is the Death.

Story is very sad, very beautiful and touchy. I don't know can I handle this movie and I'm going to see it in Britain.

The Fault In Our Stars

I think that I have no need to say anything about this anymore, because I've said everything in past posts. This is just so amazing book and trailer made me cry because I remembered the book. 

I repeat that same I said about The Book Thief: this is also very sad, beautiful and very touchy.

The Hobbit: There And Back Again

Last episode of this movie trilogy comes this year too. Also then ends our (me and Mira) own habit. We went to see every The Hobbit movie now past two years. I'm so happy that I've experienced this, because I couldn't go see The Lord Of The Rings. I was so young back then.

The Grand Budapest Hotel

I love Wes Anderson movies (I just realized that I have two of them in my shelf, I thought that I have only one) and I like this picture a lot so I'm sure that the movie is great one too. Last movie was my favorite one but maybe these movies grows more better all the time.

Don't know yet.

Favorite tv shows

American Horror Story: Murder House

When I watched this first time, I had to quit after ten minutes because I was little bit scared. But then we decided to watch this with Jussi and I realized that it wasn't so scary after all, not after couple episodes. I actually liked it.

Vicious

I found this tv series when I followed Iwan Rheon and Sir Ian McKellen in twitter. I was so curious of a show where 1. Iwan Rheon acts with amazing Ian McKellen (aka Gandalf, Magneto etc.) and 2. Ian McKellen acts an actor who has relationship with a man. You who didin't know, Ian McKellen is gay in the real life too as also is the one who acts his partner, Sir Derek Jacobi. 

This is so hilarious tv show. I don't get tired to watch these episodes over and over again. They are sarcastic and acts very, very well.

30 Rock

I adore Tina Fey and her character Liz Lemon. Tina's character is like most geek girls from internet. She loves junk food, she fell in love quickly and is romantic. She is creative and she uses nerd terms a lot. And she shows also bad sides of being woman. 

I love also other characters in the show. They all have so different kind of personalities. Show is easy watch whenever.

Sherlock

No need to say. It is just so amazing, awesome and the best. I've always loved Sherlock Holmes and this makes it super. I love how they have made this show to this day but it's not too much, it has still a lot of past Sherlock, the original Sherlock. I bet that if Sir Arthur Conan Doyle would be here to see this show, he would love it.

Supernatural

I admit, I come a little bit behind from others but I enjoy of every episode I'm watching now. I love how these characters are funny and somehow very human kind, I mean they act and be like whoever other. They fight, are childish, funny, skeptical, stupid.. I've learned a lot of spirits from this show and because I'm paranormal geek, I enjoy to watch different kind of spirits and demons. I also have a necklace of this show.

Merlin

As I said before, I'm not usually into historical shows or movies, but I was wrong about Merlin. It's great show. And also, I enjoy to watch these handsome British men *wink*

I haven't seen The Sword In The Stone animation movie never, I know it has something about Arthur and Merlin too but never seen. So I really didin't know a lot about this story behind King Arthur and Wizard Merlin. 

I found funny 'video diaries' from Arthur's and Merlin's actors and those are hilarious. They make pranks to others, go shopping, sing in the car, take videos from scenes etc. I love them all (expect Morgana).

Doctor Who

Must say, I still miss David Tennant aka 10th Doctor. He was so adorable and fit so well to Doctor's costume. Ok, they all are great but not the best. I long to see the new doctor in action. I was so surprised when they announced the new Doctor aka Peter Capaldi. He's an old actor and I remember him from Skins first season where he was Sid's angry father. Also I noticed that most his roles are kind of angry ones, maybe because his face looks like a grumpy cat. Still, can't wait to see how he'll play this 'the last Doctor'.

Miranda

Still loving it. I feel sometimes like I am Miranda. And I love how she makes no body shame but can make fun of herself. She is clumsy, not skinny little model kind, has handsome crush (oh, Tom Ellis, pleaase) and she has best friend who own the shop with her. She loves food, romantic things, be fabulous, do silly things etc. This show makes me smile always. I love these Brit comedies so much. I'm so happy I'll be soon in same Country with these awesome talents. Yay.
