Getting settled

Went to see "Begin again". I have been waiting for the movie for quite a while. Keira Knightley, Mark Ruffalo, Adam Levine, Hailee Steinfeld, Cee Lo Green, Catherine Keener. I'd prefer it's original name "Can a Song Save Your Life" but the movie is sweet, not cheesy and full of passion. Music is good and it characterises the life in NY so well, god I miss this city.

Vianney lives in Sweden now and came to visit for a weekend. What a lovely bar-hopping in Tallinn's cool, random, soviet and/or creepy bars.

I rarely watch tv. I mean, I'm addicted to many series but I like to watch them when I have time, not depend upon tv-schedules. This year, after being tired of work: dealing with crazy people for 8 hours straight, answering phone-calls when some Irina or Jelena whose husbands have disappeared without a trace to Russia or somewhere over the ocean, blame me for not letting them get divorced, or some Nikolai doesn't accept the documents sent to him, and when I finally manage to find a working phone number, of course he doesn't speak a word of Estonian, and when I explain in broken Russian, he hears about the case "for the first time" and has no idea why anyone would want to sent him anything, and even if we do, it's totally our fault he hasn't reached anything, he doesn't own an id-card and his e-mail is working great and we have definitely done something wrong, it's quite convenient to cozy up on a sofa and watch something pointless on tv. For example: "Naistevahetus" ("wife swap") - an artsy metal-loving bohemian from quite isolated village in Estonia and a city slicker from a resort in Spain were swapped. The funny thing is the lady from Spain had no problem settling into country-life whereas the woman basically sent on a vacation to Spain hated everything, literally everything (except the graveyard) and expressed herself very loudly. Who hates Spain? And if you do, is it wisest to whine on live-tv, and even if you don't care, can you be any more rude than leaving a painting with a note "it was a horrible experience" to the family who has done everything to make you feel welcome. And people are surprised when foreigners take Estonians as cold, unimpressed, dismissive and rude.

Sophie got to visit her relatives and some friends on saturday. She was so happy and outgoing and so tired of running around after, that slept for the rest of the day.
