I think this (Romantic Anonymous) must be (together with melancholia) my favorite movie this year, so far. The movie is French, which I like. It’s something with the fact that I don’t understand what they day that I like.. and French movies they’re always strange in some way, which I also like.
This movie is about Angélique who is a “chocolatier” – the best of them all, but she is also a highly emotional person. Her personality trait is something she shares with her new employer, but they don’t know that – either of them. Everything develops into a pretty humorous and awkward story – which is both loving and entertaining. I can recommend this movie too :)
WordPress gave me a question so I’ll answer it :). Answer: both. Lazy days are good for me. This year has been kind of an exhausting year. If you can say you have a think tank, I think I have a lazy day tank. On the other hand I always have something that needs to be done, and sometimes I think about that too much which puts me in a bad mood. The good with with having a job is that you have free time, when you’re studying you always have something to do. Let this be a lazy weekend! :)
A picture of my sister. Lazy days, that is her thing :)
Today I did something very clever, I left my visa card at home. Then I went to Malmö to buy Christmas presents.. But no, I realized I had no money (of corse I did, but I had nothing to pay with) when I was about to pay. I cleaned my apartment this morning and found some paint tubes, and decided Erik and I would paint something.. Unfortunately I had to ask him to pay haha!
I don’t think I uploaded these pictures, or did I? Anyway, this is insane, but since my parents house are under construction (and probably will be the next 2 years) we invited all the people to their workplace haha! I had found that ugly pink tablecloth and then we all sat on office chairs, but it was kind of an experience. Erik and I stayed at a hostel in Varberg. A pretty cool place at Varbergs Fästning (that’s a fort from the 16th century)..we made a cake and had invited my aunts, cousins and some more relatives.
It was such a long time since I posted something, haha! This means that I’m uploading a bunch of pictures now. Better now than never :) or something ;)
We took a walk through the less beautiful parts of Malmö. Sometimes really ugly things look more beautiful when everything around them is ugly too, haha! These houses are so boring, dull, grey, and ugly. Retro cam makes them a little bit more interesting..
Usually I set the alarm on my Iphone, just like I did yesterday evening. Today I woke up at 05:50… I thought: ahh, annoying, why can I never sleep longer.. two minutes later my “real” alarm clock started to beep.. I think I must have pushed the alarm button in my sleep. It was kind of scary ha ha!
And now I’ll show you some pictures from last weekend. Erik and I went to Falsterbo and took a walk. The weather was so nice, it’s almost November but it’s quite warm. We have incredibly much to do in school now with exams and essays and 10 000 other things.. I can’t wait until it’s over :)
It was a while since I watched tv regularly, but now I’ve catched up on old (better habits).. :) On Wednesdays I watch Bron, a Swedish tv-series that was filmed in Malmö and Copenhagen (can’t wait until Wednesday) (or Stockholm you never know. ).. Criminal drama. On Sundays there is Mördare Okänd) – British criminal drama too ha ha! Watch it if you haven’t, I bet there are episodes to watch online. Last, but not least – Solsidan. How do you translate that? Sunny side? Anyways, they are so funny, Ove is so stingy, and funny in a sad way.
These pictures are taken in Malmö, we took a walk through the outskirts of the city..
I like the colors in the pictures.. Then we went home and made banana muffins :)
A great weekend!
My aunt and cousin came here last weekend, and it was actually fun. The stayed at a “B&B” not far from here. My aunt is really interested in everything that has to do with flowers, plants etc. so we were at pretty many places where they sell those kind on things, on Saturday we visited a “plant market”. They brought some stuff from my mom (my old stuff) and among the things was a box with erasers, WHY??? did I buy those when I was younger!?? On the train back here I was DYING for a cup of coffee, the others thought it was really amusing… hahahaha! Believe me I was kind of going crazy “cooooooffeeeee” hahahahaha!
I went to my parents this weekend, I think I had forgotten a little bit how.. how.. dead it is where they live. Before this was not a problem for me, I thought: I can never live where it’s never quiet. Now (I don’t even live in a city) when I’m used to hearing cars 24/7, to see people when I look through the windows, everything is different. When I had been there for 30 minutes I was so freaking stressed, ha ha! The only thing you see there are trees, dirt and trees. I mean it’s very nice in the summer, and I guess it’s good for you, but now it feels very different. Today I feel like I could move to a bigger city. That’s funny in some way, because I guess it just about getting used to something. It doesn’t matter what it is. I remember when I was younger and we said, we’ll never need cell phones. I couldn’t live without my cell phone today.
We took a walk in the evening, and it felt like we were so far away from everything. When I drove to Ullared in the morning it was just weird, because it was only me, no other cars. That was like driving on the highway too late (after 2 AM) on a weekday, it’s only you. Scary, but at the same time that’s a really cool feeling.
What on earth made me watch this movie, I don’t know? Maybe because it was very very early in the day. Ok, first I should say, I didn’t expect much. This is a movie for people under 18 (or am I wrong?), or let’s say 20, who enjoy seeing people having sex, just almost. I watched 15 minutes, then I watched 5 minutes in the middle of the movie, and 2 minutes at the end. That was enough. I’ve seen worse, but this was no good. I give this movie 1,5 A:s of 5. There is some potential, and I guess that if you’re 15 you like this hrmm cr(hrm)ap. If you’re thinking about watching this movie, watch I Love You Man instead – that movie is funny! and makes you laugh :).
Yesterday I bought some new make up, that was not too soon, I have also thrown away a lot of cloths this week – my gosh you save so much you never wear. The good thing with that is you can buy new things :) and that’s what I’ve planned to do next week. I bought a dress yesterday too, but after I had tried it on a second time, I didn’t think it looked very good on.
Then I was cropping some pictures in Photoshop, and found a button called turn into black and white – I though the result was kind of funny, ha ha! I also made some muffins today – a healthier version with cranberries and barely no sugar. Then I put on some cream cheese and honey, yummy!
By accident, I fell asleep yesterday.. at like 21:30. That’s no good! Why? Because I woke up 6:30 this morning and was wide awake! Then I thought: oh well I can do some things for school, and that was what I did until the clock was 8:30. I cleaned, washed, had lunch, did nothing at all, read a boring book, went to Burger King and bought an ice cream, called my sister.. now I had to take a 40 minutes bike ride because I’m not exactly tired. Boring, boring, boring! Next weekend I’ll see if I can’t meet up with some friends or something. I’m not used to having so little to do!! Isn’t that just strange!? Normally I have 10 000 things going on, but not now. I bet this is meant to be, ha ha! I have to change something..
OH I WAS WRONG, I WOKE UP AT 5:30!!! THAT’S INSANE! LOL!
I have pretty much already done everything I planned doing this (next) week, I’m too efficient!
Friday: I had migraine again, but decided: It’s enough! at least it helped a little. In the afternoon I was working – I was driving a BMW to a place where they sell cars, and back again (the family bought a new car), and that was pretty much fun. Alexandra wants a BMW (NOW), someone.. please? Give me five years and I’ll have one :) for sure.. ha ha!
I came home, made tuna salad, was really good, and did some homework (read: I begun reading, but started thinking about 10 000 other things) ha ha! I had a cup (glass) of tea (I love Lipton green tea orient).. and that was pretty much it.. this is where the fun part begins.. ha ha!
Saturday I decided to go to Malmö because I wanted to buy a new watch so I actually can see what time it is! Watches without numbers look better, but..hmm I’m tired of coming to the bus stop 5 minutes early. I went to Triangeln, because I thought: today I’m going to do what students normally do – they buy something cheap. I can’t buy a 2300kr watch if I’m a student ha ha! I have a friend who works at Ur & Penn (they sell watches and crappy jewelry), her name is Åsa. We talked too much and the other customers got pretty fed up because they had to wait ha ha! but it was fun.
Then I thought: ahhh someone is worth “köpekaffe” (a cup of coffee) so I went to Espresso House, and I had to buy a muffin too :). When I had taken the first bite my phone rings, it was my dad, and first I thought: no I won’t pick up the phone.. but .. I did.. and he asked where I was and I think I said I was at every place in Malmö except from at a Café having like the best day in this year so far. My parents would kill me if I told them was I was doing, ha ha! Lucky me I’m still alive. (compare this with: (I could have said) I’m smoking something I don’t know what it is, and I think I’m pregnant (which I didn’t say, and didn’t do)).
On my way back to the “bus stop” I saw this guy playing – I thought it was pretty cool :)
Then I went to Åhlens and bought an eye shadow, I did something drastic and bought something colorful, not. And a mascara that turned out to be crap, I hate those plastic brushes.
This is the watch I bought.
Then I went to Mobilia, because I wanted to buy flowers (notice how much money I have spent so far) and then I see this: Hygienic baskets, free from bacteria. OK??? What do they do with them. I guess they could spend money on other hings, but it’s a funny idea ;)
Ok, watch this. It’s a drive thru for pets (some kind of grooming thing hahah!) . If I was from Mars I think I would believe that you should leave you dog and they would (what do you call it when you fix and style the dogs fur) and then when it was ready it would come through that metal door thing to the left.
I watched a movie, lying in bed, eating lunch (pancakes) then I put on a facial mud mask (makes everyone looks so incredibly good, when you have it on your face ;) ), and watched another movie (I bought 5 new movies Thursday, 20kr/st – not expensive at all!!!). I spent this weekend putting on weight lol!
Now I made a pie with zucchini, bell peppers and mushrooms + salad and avocado, and a delicious garlic dressing that I got for free!! when I was shopping groceries. Might not look good, but it was. You can also see the flower I bought :) (I can’t wait for the spring, it’s still too cold to plant daffodils outside)
And to end this, of course I had some gelé hjärtan. This weekend I did absolutely NOTHING. That was just so good, because I haven’t been home (not working or doing 10 000 other thins) since last year! Even if this upcoming week will suck, try to move me! The funny thing is that I didn’t do anything special, I was not extremely social, but it felt good :). The gelé hjärta looks so freaking NOT delicious, ha ha ha!
..Or maybe I should say what I’m doing this weekend. Absolutly NOTHING! I need to do nothing more often. Nothing means: taking a walk, watching a movie, eating a muffin, eating popcorn, not picking up the phone when someone is calling. I just read some (read 2 or 3) pages in a book we have to read in school, but found an interesting sentence, ha ha! It said: Managers do things right, and leaders do the right thing. I thought that was very funny ha ha!
