Hi my dearest blog readers,

I did make a important discovery today. I opened Google and wrote: “Chamillionaire – lyrics”. And quess what I found? Not only one but TWO pages full of lyrics!! I’m so excited!! I know, I know, internet is full of lyrics and songs and all kind of things, but still I didn’t expect to really find so great sites!!

Today I also edited my blog. I deleted “WordPress.org” -link, but I added link to my another blog, Kahvia kahdelle (Coffee for two). It’s in Finnish, but you can still go and check it. At least you’ll see my lovely little cairnterrier, who just had his 10th birthday…

I’m not sure where you are from, and I’m not sure can you see the Finnish TV-series The Dudesons. It tells about four friends who are from Seinäjoki. (It’s Finnish city.) These four guys do all kind of crazy stunts and they really are crazy! I mean it. I really love this TV-series. Actually I’m going to watch it tonight. Tonight’s theme is “Dudesons World War” (it’s from season 3, the newest season). I was a bit surprised when I found this article from Wikipedia in English!

Now I’ll go to it mudcake (aww, it’s very loveable American chocolate-cake, and you know, I’m crazy about chocolate!) and drink some coffee (mm… coffee…) See you soon!

YOURS,
FINDANDOJIN

5 Top movies & books

Posted in Findandojin Recommends tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , at 17:38 by Findandojin

Hi!

At the beginning: I’m going to change my nick name to Findandojin. Less for this blog. Findandojin is japanese word for “the Finn”. But then let’s move on!!

Today I thought it would be nice to list 5 top movies which everybody should see. I’d also like to list 5 top books that YOU should read! So that’s why you’ll have 2 lists today: 5 TOP MOVIES TO SEE and 5 TOP BOOKS TO READ. Enjoy!

5 TOP MOVIES TO SEE

  1. THE MUMMY. Amazing and funny movie about ancient Egypt. No surprise I listed it? 🙂 Also The Mummy Returns and The Scorpion King -movies are good. I’m not sure about The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor because I haven’t see it, but Evelyn’s actress has changed. Terrible, isn’t it??
  2. THE DA VINCI CODE. Fabulous, marvellous, word’s can’t even tell how good it is! (I’m not sure can you say so in English, but it means it’s really, really good…) It includes action and mysteries and reminds me of detective stories – and you know, I really like detective stories!
  3. LARA CROFT: TOMB RAIDER / LARA CROFT TOMB RAIDER: THE CRADLE OF LIFE. I just like them so much! It’s just so good action and interesting story. In both of them! I also like very much Mr. & Mrs. Smith. It’s also Angelina Jolie’s action movie. She’s good actress.
  4. LORD OF THE RINGS – TRILOGY. C’mon, what would fantasy-fans say if I’d leave it out of the list?? 😉 Well it’s anyway a very good movie, as we all know, and really represents modern fantasy. If you haven’t see ANY of them, you should watch LoTR: The Fellowship of the Ring. And then you must see the rest of them too!
  5. TUNTEMATON SOTILAS. This is Finnish movie, and in English it would be “The Unknown Soldier”. This is something you can’t see, I know, and I’m sorry, but I had to list it. And if you have finnish friends, you can always ask them about this movie – I’m 100% sure they know it!!

5 TOP BOOKS TO READ

  1. RAMSES by Christian Jacq. Five novels about one of the greatest pharaohs of ancient Egypt! As my brother asked me: “Five novels from one guy??!” He’s not just another guy! Read the books and you’ll know.
  2. DEATH ON THE NILE by Agatha Christie. This novel  (and movie, btw. I love Suchet as Poirot!) is a very good example of Christie’s books. Of course I can recommend any of Christie’s books. And Death on the Nile is classic, and I like it very much myself.
  3. ANGELS AND DEMONS by Dan Brown. And The Da Vinci Code. Both of them are great novels, and reading them makes you really think about religions. (This was warning ;P)  I also like about Brown’s novel Deception Point.
  4. HOUR GAME by David Baldacci. Mix of detectives and action! I quess you can never underestimate David Baldacci…
  5. SOME FANTASY BOOKS. Classics like Lord of the Rings -trilogy (by J. R. R. Tolkien, as we all know), J. K. Rowling‘s Harry Potters and Stephenie Meyer‘s Twilight and New Moon. I’m also going to read Eclipse, which has just came to Finland. And when they publish Breaking Dawn (in 2009, this year!!) and Midnight Sun (interrupted) in Finland, I’m going to read them too!

So this was all for today, I’m going to stay in this address and I probably keep this blog name too, because it would sound stupid: “Findandojin from Finland”. Little bit like “the Finn from Finland”, and that makes no sense! 😉 That means that you still find this blog in the same address and with the same name.

Have a nice spring!!

YOURS,
FINDANDOJIN
