Other things

Right, I'm so goddamn bad at updating this page. But I've got another blog too:

http://www.finest.se/userPresentation/?uid=29499

But it's in Swedish. I keep that one updated everyday though...


Otherwise I can tell you we are moving to Canada, hopefully early next year!
And a group to look out for is Justice, and a song to listen to is De Nuit's tune All That Mattered.

Speak soon.

Footie!




It's time for me and the cat to watch some football!

SWEDEN - SPAIN

Okey, I can admit I'm a little nervous... I like to see Sweden win, but we haven't been playing like winners for years and years. It's been quite mediocre to be honest.

But keep me on my toes!!

"Burn down Camden!"


I don't want them too, but they clearly did as it actually did burn down. Half of it anyway. So now they are very conveniently building it back up the way they want it - new, clean, and more commersial.
What a pity. It was so cool.
"Coke, ecstasy, weed" was heard by dodgy folks on every corner, and wicked punks was hogging the bridge by the Lock. You don't find them anymore, the police have been on them.
They're cleaning up Camden - they're cleaning up the charm!
The cool people will have to find another, untouched place to hang out at, and leave Camden with the ignorant tourists.

Taramasalata


mmmm...... Have you ever tried this godness? Taramasalata. The Greek dip.
When I was single and lived by myself, all you'd ever find in my fridge would be this and some bread to dip with!
And it's PINK!
Great stuff.

I'm right now waiting for this video to finish uploading on YouTube... It's a clip from Australia's Got Talent, our good friend Johnny is performing. He's a beatboxer and amazing. Apparantly, from what I've heard, he's Kylie Minogues favourite on the show (she's one of the judges)!

Canada


I want to move here. To Canada. Tell me you've seen a prettier place ever! It's the actual colour of the water too!

I'm actually quite serious about it, I'm gonna look into visas. I've been looking at pictures of Vancouver, I think it would be the best place to go, close to California too.

So, see you there?

I want...

...to take a train trip through Europe.

...to have more money.

...to live in a bigger flat.

...to buy a new closet.


I also want to go see the Sex and the City movie. But I'd rather get the whole boxset and watch the tv series for the twentieth time...

Why must humans always complicate things?

A good summer day in sunny London


Today I'm blogging from a coffeeshop in Crouch End. The sun is shining outside and it's hot. I'm wearing summer clothes and my new orange gladiator sandals. I'm happy. This makes me happy.


I'm gonna go pick some photos soon that I wanted printed out. Then I'm gonna walk back up to Muswell Hill and take some photos on the way. Maybe I'll blog some more in the park.
I wish we had a balcony at home on days like these.

Change of heart gets you nowhere

Instead of doing, I think.
Then I change my mind.
Then I have to start all over again.
Just a bit later when I can stress even more about it.

I will never go forward if I'm gonna continue thinking about everything all the time.
Sometimes I should just DO.


This time I changed my mind about studies. To give up 3 years of my precious life on something I don't even enjoy, just seems like such a stupid idea.
I want to have kids young (at least I think I do), but at the same time I want a career more than anything. I want to finally be able to do something I actually love doing.


I don't know anything, and it really bothers me.

And this whole thing makes me really depressed. I haven't been out of the house all weekend. I've got no motivation to go anywhere. London bores me.
Or maybe it's my life that does?

Don't want to be here

Okey, we're back. But I'm actually not happy about it. Would much rather have stayed in NY... We said before we left, that maybe we should just not go to the airport? Imagine, then we would have been illegal immigrants in America! But what a place to be illegal in..... haha

We do want to move over there now. America is such a funny place. Noone takes things too serious which can be so nice. At least for a while.


It was seriously such a great trip. I could almost say it was the best trip I've ver done! Can't think of another as good as this one now anyway. Maybe the cartrip to Romania a few years ago...


Manhattan was incredible. The wedding was jewish and the coolest ever. It's going to be hard to beat. hmmm... how am I gonna to get married before I know I can make it better that that?!

Tomorrow we are going to hide in here!!
New York City, here we come!

See you in 7 days.

The spider

I wake up in the morning, and I'm grumpy.
My head hurts.... I need water. I need my eyes to get used to being open.
Then D sends me a text: "There's a spider in our house. And it's huge. I saw it this morning. Thought I would let you know."

Okidoki man.

I phone him up: "Why did you have to tell me that?!" and "Why didn't you kill it?!"
He didn't want to wake me up, he says.... How considerate of you!! Really.

I walk over to the kitchen, and all of the sudden I get a feeling of happiness. A smile on my face.
- coffee
ooooohhhh yyyeessss baby, coffee. You make me happy.

Take me home


I'm feeling a little down today...

Maybe not a good idea to start the day with a phonefight.

I'm having one of those days when I just want to go home and hide behind the curtains. Be sad and be left alone.

Last day of the week. It's good, but not good enough.

Going away next week. But not far enough.

fotochopped

My new sunnies for this year!

What'ya think? They're turquoise which I've never even liked! Don't think I got the colour quite right on the photo though.... And I didn't know how to make the blue curtain in the background grey, haha! New to Photoshop. They got it for free online, did you know? www.photoshop.com/express

Enjoying time alone at the moment. He should be home soon though. It's good! I can have the whole cake for myself that I bought in the bakery on my way home!!
Listening to Gabrielle, perfect women-feel-good-music!
Totally feeling this woman-thing today - new clothes, cakes, pyjama, music....!! Great stuff.

The batteries for my iPod died this morning.... I feel gutted. My darling iPod who helps me through the tough times on the tube! He's dead. Completely out.....

Swedish bloggers

At work. Got so much to do - I've read hundreds of blogs! Found some good ones, but most of it's crap. So much time wasted on writing those crappy ones.......shame. Specially this one (it's in Swedish) - www.blondinbella.se - wow, what a waste. Can't understand how she can make millions on her blog and how she has so many readers. All she ever says is:

"Today I went to the cafe with Camilla and this is how my lunch looked!

[photo of lunch]

Tonight we are gonna have dinner at Stures, Blondinbella AB is paying! I don't have time to write anymore right now, but this is how I look at this moment!

[photo of her doing The Pose]"

Cancerbacon

On the front pages of Metro this morning, it said that if you eat bacon, sausages, or any processed meats, you stand a 20% higher risk of getting cancer.

So don't eat meat.

Seriously though, it seems most things gives you cancer these days... I think - everything in moderation, and as organic as possible, and we should all be fine!
I'm sertainly not scared of getting cancer from things I consume. I think it's stupid to be. I also think a human's mind is a lot more powerful than what we are aware of......if you know what I mean...........


I have little to do at work today, so I'm helping the guys pulling some tables apart. But again, as with the electrical gadgets, they run up to take over! Cos I'm just a girl, what do I know....?

Boatrace

Yesterday was the boatrace between Oxford and Cambridge universities down by the river in Putney. I went down to meet D and couple others for some beers before it started. It was sunny when I arrived and then it turned ugly just like that.... Rain and wind and it was freezing! Don't know why so many people were there.

But we had some Carlsberg's to warm up and D borrowed me his hat so my hair wouldn't get wet, such a gentleman!




And then I got my package already from asos.com! 2 days it took, that's fast! Looks great, I'm happy.
