• Given that past week was the Helsinki International Film Festival, the other day, Iván and I went to the Bio Rex in Lasipalatsi, to watch Cidade dos Homens. As the name suggests, it is closely related to the brilliant Cidade de Deus –gangs and Mafias at the favela style– but doesn't try to be a second part nor a continuation. Its plot is more easy to follow, the story is pretty interesting, and the music is quite cool.

• I've been watching the old HBO series Oz. I'm about to finish watching the 6th and last season (when everybody leaves home so early, you don't have much options), and I still think it's brilliant, same way as I did when I seldomly watched some episodes during '97-'02.

• My favorite bars in Helsinki: Molly Malone's (live music every night!) and Meritähti (cool food, served by his Hungarian owner, and they have Unicum!). I still have a few that I'm interested on, but that I haven't been there yet.

• And now, for no reason, a gratuitous picture of Kimmo and Marius à la Men in Black (I regret I didn't have my real camera with me):
