Shopping

Went shopping the other day, as I have noticed that I need few things. Mainly I have been told that I need a hair dryer (for guests) and then I have noticed it myself as well that I need it when I use wax on my short hair. The wax I am using is a cheap kind, so it is not good on its own. So when I went shopping, I bought Remington hair dryer.

I took the picture with my phone and for some reason it is upside down here. Sorry for that, but you see what I bought anyway. I think I had one of these earlier, but I am not sure. The last one I had was also travel size, as I do not use one daily. When I had long hair, I used hairdryer maybe once or twice  a year. 

I have been wanting to buy a new electric toothbrush as my old one is over 10 years old. So I bought something different than Oral-B. This time I chose Philips sonicare, because I have heard good things about it (my niece and nephew got one). We will see what it will be like. One big plus is, that it will automatically stop after two minutes. Fingers crossed my nose won't itch.

I went to second hand store with a friend of mine. I don't normally find anything, as the clothes do not quite fit me. So I was surprised to find something I liked. It wasn't priced too high, and the note said these are new ones. So a win win!  I got second hand shoes that had not been worn before.

Because I do have a curious nature, I did check how much would new ones cost. I did find out that the these are not the latest version, so the price is probably a bit lower. For similar, but new version shoes, cost is about 170 €. Wow! I made a great deal! I feel so lucky right now! 

Currently unemployed

Still unemployed. Last week I had three interviews, but they didn't pay out. But at least now I have been in more interviews than what I was while living up north. I've had four interviews since moving, and it has been about six months now. So quite good. Proves that it was the right decision to move. The jobs I've lately been applying are not quite the right fit, but it would have been customer service job. My friend got it, so I am eagerly waiting to hear if she enjoys it or not. 

I've been taking part in a project that improves job hunting, and I guess it has paid off. Haven't found my dream job yet, but maybe soon. I've been searching in Finland, but honestly I am open for any job. I just decided to try focus on one location more. I think I will soon start applying elsewhere as well. It would be so much easier if I knew for sure what I wanted to do. All I know for sure is that I want to have some adventure! 

So keep your fingers crossed that I will find something exiting!

Minions (2015)

Not my first pick, but went with a friend so this is something we both wanted to see. For this I did pay the 12 euros (weekday after five pm). Not quite worth it in my opinion. This is what'ya call feel good movie. Good for families and stuff. I do feel that the movie has not reached it full potential if you don't think it was worth the ticket you paid. 

I am not quite sure what I think of this, as an origin movie. Maybe it is that I really never have liked minions that much, or maybe I have liked them too much, that I didn't really enjoy the movie. Well I did enjoy at times, but then I was bored and just waited for the plot to move on. Or maybe I am too old for this type of movies... No, I think it is because these hasn't been a good horror movie in awhile. I've been seeing only these feel good or family friendly movies, so my standard has gone up. 

Need to watch something different soon, or stop going to the movies. With minions you definitely know what you are going to see. If you love'em, go see'em. 

Fantastic 4 (2015)

Why? Why the reboot? Has it really been that long, that they need to reboot this? When I heard that there was going to be another F4 movie, I thought it would be the third installment. Then it took forever for them to make this movie that I had forgotten all about it until it now has been released. So a reboot. Well, maybe the other actors were too expensive so they had to cast new ones. You know new and young, someone who no-one has ever heard of. 

First things first. I was not too bored at the movies, I was entertained. But really! I think I need to get me some F4 comics just to see how far off they are. I felt like I was in a movie for teenagers! The jumping and cuts were sometimes a bit hard to follow especially because sometimes there would be a text and other times not. One year later... 

No character build what so ever, the plot was obvious considering that it is a reboot and it tells the birth story... I do think that they could have done it totally differently considering that the original movie came out just 10 years ago. Ha! I checked from wiki, they started to develop this one in 2009, thus my mix of it being the third of the series. Also, there is going to be a second one in two years time. Really?? Then a new reboot in 10 years? I think I will pass this one. Maybe I will watch the second one from the TV if we get that far. Not worth the 12 euros, so I was in luck it was a Super day and costed only 7 euros.

Marriage simulator (2015) Summer Theater

I went to see this play called Marriage simulator in Pyynikki summer theater. My sister in law wanted to see this one, because it is based on a book she ready a year ago and enjoyed it immensely. I hadn't been to Pyynikki summer theater before so I did not know what to expect. The first impression was not too good, as the first thing I saw was bunch of people drinking. The second thing was, the we were not asked to show our tickets anywhere. 

At first the theater seemed a bit small. There were a lot of room for the audience in the middle. Once the play started, I understood that the stage was actually quite big and round. The audience was in middle of the stage and the audience turned around following the play. Very cool indeed! 

The play itself was okey. The idea in it was okey. Well maybe you get the idea... I am not into Finnish movies and it seems that I am not into summer plays with proper actors. I have enjoyed many summer plays with amateur actors, and I think they have more character. Now don't get me wrong, I laughed! The play was funny at times, but I also were bored at times! My sister in law enjoyed it and she had good times. I had good time as well, but still think that the price to see it was a bit steep. Oh, maybe I should say something about the plot... A boy meets a girl and they fall in love. So they decide to break up with their current boy/girlfriends and move together. The one lives with father and uncle and brother at a farm and one lives in very outspoken environment. So comedy ensues.
