Four is a Magic Number?

Franscud challenged me to The Fab 4 meme.

4 Films I Could Watch Over and Over:

Gone with the wind.

A Clockwork Orange

Romeo + Juliet by Baz Luhrmann. What can I say? I love Shakespeare and love pop culture.

Dracula by Francis Ford Coppola


4 Television Shows I Watch:

Um. I don’t know if I watch anything regularly nowadays. Some of these are no longer on TV and I watch them on DVDs and some of them are on, but as reruns.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Gilmore Girls

Ugly Betty (well, UB is current)

Little Britain


4 Places I've Lived:

Hmm. I’m kind of boring, because I’ve only lived in two places. (Well, if not counting my grandmothers summer house where I spent all my summers as a child. It’s located in a small town near Turku and by the sea.)

Turku in South Western Finland. Born and raised. It’s the oldest city in Finland, founded in the 13th century.

I’ll show you a (very non-official) video…




This is a grass-roots hip-hop video performed by the people on the streets of Turku. Video and music by Tatu Hiltunen, Tatu Metsätähti and Henrik Axlund.


Nowadays I live in Jyväskylä that’s located in the inlands. I came here to study and probably will be moving on once I’ve graduated my Masters.


4 Favorite Foods:

Raw salmon with baby potatoes

Grilled chicken with a special marinade my mother makes

Vegetable pizza with blue cheese or feta

Um, chocolate in all forms

4 Websites I Visit Every Day:

It varies. Right now:

Helsingin Sanomat

(from the website: ”Helsingin Sanomat is the biggest daily subscription-based newspaper in Scandinavia. It is also Finland's leading national paper, which is read by more than three-fourths of the residents of the Helsinki metropolitan area and by a quarter of all Finns.”)

I’m a subscriber and read my paper at home, but news travels fast so I gaze online news headlines as well.

Youtube (Well, almost every day. I don’t post videos, just watch them and get annoyed by the idiots commenting.)



I check certain blog directories, blog catalog and mybloglog, but not on a daily basis.

And I check my email several times a day. That counts, doesn’t it.

Oh yeah, and Roiworld rocks. Never too old to play dressup.


4 Places I Would Love To Be Right Now:

Because I have a cold, nothing would be quite that fun right now.

I could try moving to the couch to rest, but that would require effort and I’m not much for effort today.


4 Favorite Colors:

Anything that goes with my complexion. Pastel colours, red, blue. Black, although it’s not an actual colour.

4 Names That I Love but Would/Could Not Use For My Children:

Sylvester (the Cat)

Nasse (impossible to translate)

Putte (Finnish for Porky the Pig. It’s a common endearing nickname.)

Björn (it means bear in Swedish and is a common name amongst the Swedish speaking Finns)

I wanted to tag people that I though would be open to answering a meme. Here's my list:

Bobobimbo
Morinn
Lou
