It's today. Actually I don't have any particular thing to say but I want to update anyway. I like being in this moment. It feels right.

I suppose I haven't written much about my work. I'm there every day so it has became a big part of my life. Sometimes I like it a lot, sometimes it just makes me tired. The mornings after premieres (especially children's movies!!!) are the worst. Sometimes I wonder how on earth people can cause such a mess in a couple of hours they're just sitting in their seats.

I kind of like the atmosphere in the cinema. Especially the second theatre is very beautiful. The lights are low. I also find it exciting to go to the machine rooms. I'm happy to notice that the films are still films and not some small digi cd's. I love to find pieces of film I can use in my collages and decos; sometimes they can be little treasures with a text like "Picture" or "Human stain".

When I'm cleaning and tidying I can also think about life. I must say I do a lot of pondering these mornings. It is good. Sometimes I dream or have dialogues in my head. Sometimes I wish I had a pen and a paper with me; verses come to my mind and I try to think about them over and over again and still I seem to forget them before i get them on paper. Sometimes I think how it would be to catch a pair of people making love in the dark theatre room.

I think about the people who has been there the previous night. Sometimes they leave things behind for me to find. Umbrella's mostly. Today I found a wedding ring in a silvery chain with a silvery dolphin. It was interesting because the chain wasn't broken. I wondered if it was a real diamond in the ring. And I was thinking about the importance of little things in our lives.

I have only watched 3 films myself since getting this job. HelmiƤ ja Sikoja, Pirates of Caribbean and Dirty Pretty Things. I think my taste of films may have changed a bit. There are some films I definitely want to see but nothing that is a must. I think about going to see "Love actually" (I like Alan Rickman) and in spring there will be a big historical saga about Troy (with Orlando Bloom as Paris). I have some kind of attraction to Troy, can't tell why. Somehow I seem to get back to those stories over and over again..


I would also like to see Spirited Away again. I love it so very much. It's not one of the films I could go to see for free but I would still like to see it again (would be 4th time?) I think about buying it for my nieces & nephew for christmas. i always want to give them something special.

I'm thinking about the past and the future but I like to be here in the middle way. There has been so many big things happening to me that I feel it is time to concentrate on the small ones now. I've decided to be strong now that I know weakness won't kill me. And I think the strenght of tenderness and peace are much underestimated these days.


Ah, one more thing. I have a feeling that almost every time I choose the mood for my LJ update it is a C word; calm, crappy or confused. I must investigate my moods from the past months and see what I've been the most :)

I think being surrounded by movies is a wonderful thing. I am dying to see Love Actually, but it didn't come here. It made me really angry, but if it gets some oscar attention then it might, so frustrating when you really, really want to see something!

Oh yes, i know how it feels... i'm a cinema-lover with a preference for independent and european films and sometimes (even quite often) i'm dying to see a movie and it's never showed in my town! I know how frustratring it is...so you're not alone, that's all i can say!!

Thank you, that's sweet. I know its the film distributers decision on where it goes and how many screens its shown on, but sometimes its ridiculous. I hope you get to see all that you desire to see!

Your icon is beautiful, really delicate.
