It's still November so there will be changes.

PS! I'm typing on my brothers computer and his S key doesn't work, so I'm sorry if some S's will be lost.

Estonia.

My homeland. I live in Tallinn, the capital and the biggest city (~522 thousand people). It's lovely with an old town (800 years old) and a town center with lot of shops and modern buildings. I live in Kalamaja. Kalamaja was a very deserted and ugly place when I first came to live here, but now it has beautifully reconstructed old houses. It' s not a very turisty place, because the neighbourhoods in which it sits between, aren't very friendly. I am a "homie" so it's okay for me. :D
Estonia has about 1,4 million people and lots of forrest. The wildlife is as beautiful as the city is. The temperatures are about (Winter) -5 to (Summer) 17 degrees, but in the last summers it has been rather 20-30 degrees. Last winter wasn't very snowy. It was dirty and wet.

Christmas!

In Estonia, where I live, is snowing. Thick, icy snow. The kind of which you can make snowballs of. In Estonian it is called "sulalumi". It's very simple to say. "sue-la-lou-me" . "Sulama" means melt and "lumi" means snow.
I was at my classmates birthday today. We went to watch a movie and then ate Mexican at her place. It was a lot of fun. After that I came home and watched Eddie Murphy on "Inside Actors Studio" . After Eddie was Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone (First not Second). Not one Christmas goes by without it. It's a tradition. Like my fathers tradition to watch Sound of Music on Christmas Day. It was so cozy. I was without my parents (mother in Hong Kong, father in Põlva [a small city in the south of Estonia], visiting my grandfather) in the house and it was so nice. I made myself some Hot Cocoa. In the pot, not in the microwave and put cinnamon in it. I'm telling you, I will bake a Christmas Pie some day, if I have time. I just love winter, and Christmas especially.
Right now It's 2.41 here (12.41 GMT), if my clock is right and I'm watching Whose Line is it Anyway US.
I LOVE WINTER!!!

The Edge of Love (2008)

Haven't written anything about a year now. Totally forgot my blog. Stupid, eh?
Anyway I totally like this movie : The Edge of Love. Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller are the gal's and Cillian Murphy and Matthew Rhys are the guys. It's so stunning and romantic and I love, love, love Keira's silly little welsh accent. in the beginning it's all so glamorous and as it evolves things get sticky and dirty and so on.
It's written by Keira's mother Sharman Macdonald who insisted Keira played Catlin (who is actually played by Sienna), but Keira took one look at it and realized she would much better play Vera.
The movie talks about Dylan Thomas. The characters are actually real, but the story is fiction with little pieces of truth kneaded into it.
Vera Phillips is a singer who sings in the Tube because of the war. it's 1940 and the war is full on. Matthew Rhys (who plays Dylan) is doing these silly little movie pieces and he thinks it's bollocks, so in a rush of bravery, he decides not to take part in that shit and concentrates only on his poems. He didn't go to the war as Vera's fancier did.
Vera and Dylan were childhood lovers in Wales, where they grew up. They meet again in a pub and talk a lot. Vera still loves Dylan and maybe Dylan still loves her.
Then Catlin (Sienna) comes to London and Keira is forced to meet Dylan's wife (who she didn't even know about).
Eventually they became friends and have wonderful memories together.
i'm not going to give it all up. You have to see the movie yourself.

Miracle lip relief cream for winter

I have this product and it's A-mazing. When I feel that my lips are dry or i have a laceration, (?) I put it on and it gets cold. It heals that way and when the cold feeling stops they're healed. One thing though... when you have ripped of the skin, that is dry on the lips, with your teeth it doesn't make the cold feeling.

I put it on every time when I go outside. It is perfectly invisible if you put a little on. If you squeeze the whole tube on your lips it looks like you have eaten too much whipped cream. It stays on white so there's a trouble when you don't have a mirror. In the end though you get the hang of it.

Chrismas Wishes.

I wanted to write down my Christmas wishes.

1. Laptop (not going to get, presumably)
2. Cell-Phone, LG KE770 Shine (hopefully get it)
3. Socks (I'm in desperate needs of socks)
4. White Cashmire Gloves (very luxurious)
5. Money
6. Timbaland's album "Shock Value"
7. DVD "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" (double-disc edition)

There's a month to Christmas yet so I know there'll be more.

The Devil Wears Prada

Director David Frankel

Plot The movie is based on a best-selling novel by Lauren Weisberger. It talks about a not-so-fashionable girl going to work as an assistant for Miranda Priestly, the editor in chief of Runway (the top of the top fashion magazines in the world).

Cast Miranda Priestly - Meryl Streep Andrea Sachs - Anne Hathaway Emily Charlton - Emily Blunt Nigel - Stanley Tucci etc.

Genre Comedy, Drama

Year 2006

I think the movie is brilliant. The director and the costume disaigner (Patricia Field) have both worked with Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kim Cattrall and Kristin Davis in Sex and the City, which is also in New York. The world, of New York, is filled with high-fashion, bitchy people, money, career and most important of all, beauty.
I love Emily in this movie (I don't say that i dont love Meryl or Stanley or any other caracter) because she is so "tired" . She is so nasty towards Andy and so precise about the details in her work. She worships the magazine and Miranda. I love the scene where Andy comes to Runway the first time and asks for Emily Charlton. Emily appears and says/asks: "Andrea Sachs? Great. Human resources has an odd sense of humour (chuckle). Follow me!" I think it shows you the attitude of the movie right away. Bitchy.
I really do recommend the movie. It's funny and glamorous. Soooo... watch the movie... and read the book too.
