The thunder in my heart. Or Kylie. Minogue Fun fact: When I was younger, I wished she were my sister. My sister died when I was 6, so perhaps that’s why. Then again, I also wished I had a brother who would protect me and be popular among girls. That has nothing to do with this, though.
I attended Kylie Minogue’s live concert on Monday, June 23. I have never been to her concert before, so I wanted to take the chance. She has been to Finland in concert three times before. It was held at the Espoo Metro Arena (where ice hockey is played), and it was extremely hot inside. I could have enjoyed the concert even more if it wasn’t for that (and the feeling in my left foot that I was getting a cramp), I had to buy water to survive. It was good, it was inside because it rained outside, so at least you stayed dry.
When the concert started, it was loud, and I didn’t know what song was on. Perhaps it was the seat I had. But you don’t care because it’s a concert where you see one of your favourite artists. I wanted to see Kylie in concert for a long time, and my dream came true. It was great to see such a diverse audience. It didn’t matter if you were straight or not; we were there to enjoy the show. And it was great. She’s such a nice person and took the audience in with open arms. When she sang the encore songs, many people stood up and danced even in the higher stands. All in all, it was a nice way to spend the day.
I have now attended three concerts: Toto, Duran Duran, and Kylie Minogue. Two more to go, Bryan Adams and The Rasmus (Finnish band), I hope I won’t have any problems with those. At the Duran Duran concert, I had an accident and I didn’t see the concert from the beginning, and in the Kylie one, I had a cramp fright.

I’ve had enough of thunder in my heart, and I don’t need more.
I looked forward to see Duran Duran live for the second time. I almost missed it because I had an slipping accident in my hotel room and had to go to the emergency room. It took so long so I thought I would miss the whole concert.
Fortunately I didn’t hurt myself that bad and I managed to get to the concert after all. I only saw half of the concert and I still blame myself for getting hurt. But no can do. I got to see the band and that I’m grateful for.
Duran Duran is my favourite band and I would have hated to miss it. They started their European tour from Tampere, Finland. We are honored 👍 Hopefully they will come back here in the future. Next time I make sure I see the whole concert.
What movies or TV series have you watched more than 5 times?
Daily Writing Prompt
I’m a big fan of movies and TV series. I’ve seen a lot, so I don’t remember which ones. But I know which movies and TV series I’ve seen more than five times—I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve seen them. I have a lot of DVD and Blu-Ray discs, but I also watch them on streaming services like Disney Plus.
I would choose movies if I had to choose between movies and TV series. I watch TV series, especially comedies, but I’m not interested in what they show now. They’re too tawdry for my taste. The newer comedy shows I like the best are ‘Modern Family’ and ‘The Big Bang Theory’, but I haven’t seen them more than 5 times. Besides comedy TV shows, I enjoy watching crime and drama shows such as ’24’, ‘BBC Sherlock’ and ‘ER’. That show is on repeat now on Finnish TV. It was the show in the 1990s that you couldn’t miss a single episode of. It was a big break for actor George Clooney as well. I’m so glad it’s being shown again. You can’t find it on any streaming service for free. ER is as great as I remember. Another show I’m watching is ‘Law and Order: Special Victims Unit’. It’s on season 25 and will catch up with the US, which is now on season 26.
The TV series I’ve seen more than five times are all British comedies. I have many of them on DVD, which is the only way to watch them repeatedly without commercials. Classics never go out of style. Every time I watch them, I still laugh. I have British comedies on DVD, including ‘Allo Allo’, ‘Blackadder’, ‘The Fast Show’, and ‘A Little Bit of Fry and Laurie’ (with Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry). I’ve seen them more than 5 times. The comedy series I don’t have on DVD is ‘Are You Being Served?’ I’ve seen that at least 8 times when you could still see the whole episode for free. Now, it’s only random episodes on YouTube. The show was never shown on Finnish TV, but I had heard about it, so I searched online. I could name a few other British classics, but that would take too long to write about.
The genres in movies are more expansive than in TV series. There is action, fantasy, and, of course, comedy. The movies I’ve seen most are the ‘Lord of the Rings’ trilogy and ‘The Hobbit’ trilogy. I can never get enough of them. The next on the list is ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ Say what you want about these movies, but I see them as entertainment and don’t take them too seriously. Some people might think the movies aren’t getting better and that there are too many. Trilogies aren’t for everyone; only those with enough patience to watch them will like them. Take ‘Lord of the Rings’, for example, for some about 3 three hours in the movie theatre is too long to sit. But if you’re a movie fan, you don’t care. I saw each of the three movies twice and watched the whole thing to the end. I have only had to go to the bathroom once during another movie, but that was only because I had to. That was only one time, and I have never had to leave in the middle again. The mistake people make when they go to the movies is that they drink during the movie. That’s what makes you want to go to the bathroom in the first place. I think it’s a shame to pay for a movie ticket and then have to leave in the middle of the movie. Tickets aren’t cheap, you know. You should always be prepared for a movie in the theatre, or you might miss something.
I have seen movies since I was 3, so I have a lot of experience watching them. I even belonged to a children’s movie club when I was a kid. I was one in the 1980s, so it was mostly family movies like “The Never Ending Story”. That was one of the movies in the movie club. There are movies I’ve only seen once or twice, and then there are movies like ‘Thor’ movies and the ‘Batman trilogy ‘with Christian Bale. I’ve seen them at least 5 times, but I haven’t counted them, but it is a lot. There are many others I’ve seen more than 5 times, but I can’t think of one right now. I’m selective when it comes to movies and TV series. I don’t watch just anything. It doesn’t matter if it’s a blockbuster movie many people want to see. I won’t watch them if it doesn’t interest me, even though everybody else does. Those movies and TV series are on a totally different list.
