In Dedication to Robin Williams

This morning I read with great sadness that Robin Williams, the great actor, has passed away.

It is believed that he committed suicide due to depression and alcoholism that he had suffered for years. 

Robin Williams represents both Adrian Cronauer and Johan Keating to me - the roles he played in Good Morning, Vietnam, and Dead Poets Society - my favorite movies, and my favorite movie characters. I shall end this post by one of my favorite movie quotes. Hopefully it takes you back to that very special movie:

" I sound my barbaric yawp over the rooftops of the world".

Rest in Peace

Mammals

When I was a kid I loved reading. It didn't matter what it was I read it.
As early as I can remember there were for at least two groups of books that I loved the most:
horror and animals!

I loved everything Stephen King (even under his pseudonym Richard Bachman) wrote (except for The Dark Tower series). I got a brand new King every Christmas (- and a Guinness Book of Records)... But I also had a softer side to me: animals, and especially wild animals. I read everything about elephants, hyenas, gorillas...

When I saw this video I couldn't help but cry. Big tears, elephant tears. I think I'm an elephant myself. Never try and fool me - I'll remember it for as long as I shall live.  (Elephant brains are the size of over 5 kg (11 lb).

Just like my idol, Stephen King, I'm a huge fan of ac/dc. And I'm on the highway to hell. Thank you for asking!

Cocktail

You know what?!

When I was a kid I had a friend three years older than me. (I'm referring to her also here http://apinkglove.blogspot.fi/2013/07/me-cheek-you-cheek.html.) Only three years, you might ask. Yeah, three years. When you are six and your best friend is nine it's like having an older sister you never had. Or, maybe even better, you have some sort of a role model. Someone you can really look up to.

Well, thanks to this friend of mine I still have Cocktail on a cassette. And on a VHS. 

I've seen that movie like a hundred times, and can still remember...well... I just loved her! I thought that Elizabeth Shue was like the most beautiful girl in the world. I wanted to look just like her. Never happened. But I still have my memories, and will definitely watch Cocktail tonight on TV.

Promise me to watch this trailer (and maybe think of me). It's my fave (and, yeah, my mom let me watch the whole movie). <3

PS Yes, one mojito, please!
