Mammoth
I saw the movie Mammoth today. It was really awesome! Dad picked me up right after work and after some yummie indian food we rushed to the movie theater. The place was jammed! I mean, gosh. We were gonna watch Australia but it was sold out, just like all the other 14 (or something) movies. Our only option was Mammoth, with only 8 seats left. All of them seperate. So dad and I sat 2 rows apart and at the opposite end... haha. Good excuse to not share a popcorn! I just got my own :) Anyway, the movie was great. I really recomend it. I had heard that it was a good one, but didn't really know that much about it. I wasn't prepared for it to be so emotional and in-your-face. Luckily, I sat right between two older ladies who, like me, eventually couldn't fight back the tears. So I didn't feel that much of a wimp.. Anyways, see it!
And don't miss Gael García Bernal. Although he changed to became kind of an @$$hole in the movie, he sure is something to look at :P
My favourite lines:
- I was married to my first husband for 7 years, and the second husband for 12 years...
- What about your third one?
- Well, he's not born yet. And he's mother is dead.
What day is it again?

Australia Dreamin'
I can really feel it crawling down my toes and throughout my fingertips. I need to go somewhere, soon. I'm kinda torn right now. I know how much money I need to earn before even thinking about American Academy of Dramatic Arts, but still I can't help it but thinking about travelling first. Wouldn't that make sense? Travel some and experience things before really putting your soul into something. Or am I being unrealistic? Wouldn't be the first time... I'm really can't wait to move to LA and start studying but I also really long to go to Australia. And I'm going to! In one way or the other. Right now I'm looking into becoming a travel guide down there with the travel agency Ving. Wich is actually possible. The salary is really nothing, almost worse than the au pair pay, I think. But I really want the accommodation to be taken care of and payed for, cause that helps a lot. So if anyone knows anything about this, either traveling guides, other job options or just anyting related to Australia - let me know, okay? :)

On a diet
So, we're off to the grocery store to buy stuff I can eat now. I have a feeling I'm not gonna be happy about it :/ Ahh, I just remembered I've got Ben & Jerry Ice cream in the freezer(!) Who's gonna eat that? Oh man. I don't know if I can do this... But according to a friend, chocolate does not contain gluten! Wehoo :) Fish and chocolate for 14 days...
Why do these all of a sudden look so good?

Back to where I was
Last night I came back from a weekend of fun in Skara. Gosh, I've missed that place! When Ida and I was walking those familiar streets, it felt just like back in the days. We went to our old school, and seriously, I'd do anything to have those year back. Miss them terribly.
Sowe spent almost the whole Friday being nostalic. Right from the moment I stepped out from the bus I smelled Skara (Scan) and it all just came back. The images, memories, everything... We also went to Systembolaget and found some Australian white wine that we just had to buy! I prefer red, but since Ida hates red wine we went with the white one. It wasn't that bad, I kinda liked it. But it was probably just because where it was originated ;) Then Josse and Therese came and talked some old memories with us. So nice! We also had the time to make a superfast visit to Olins, but the place was practically empty, so we left in the doorway.
Saturday was also really nice, I went with Ida to her theater rehersal. Oh, how I miss acting. It was really fun watching them rehearse. Later that day dad came and we went to a cafe for some vanilla rolls :P Yumm. Really awesome weekend. Ida, I wished you lived closer...Bummer. Anyway, now I'm back home renovating the kitchen. Fun. Or not. The whole apartment's a mess right now. Can't wait for it to be done.

Yes Man!

Alrighty, Good night

It's a plan!

Lost my beat
Someday I'll look back and remember
How we danced our way through September
No yesteday, no tomorrow
Only careless smiles without sorrow.
Now, I gaze up at the moon
I hear the whisltes, they're out of tune
Running and aching through my mind
Everytime I'm even close to rewind
Both of us afraid, of loving too much
Hesitantly held back, but longed the touch
There is no music, I lost my beat
Following your footprints as you left my street.
The sun rose again but my beat is still gone
Went down the drain of the morning yawn
It used to race my heart when you'd be around
Now it's gone, I hear no sound
In every crowd I see your face
It's like you're gone but left a trace
When I'm awake I cannot see
But as I close my eyes, you're haunting me
Well, someday came and I remember when
So I searched my purse to find a pen
Wrote down some words with ink dark blue
"I think you know I lost my beat to you"
Joy

First
I wonder what this year's gonna bring. I can't wait to find out! Hmm... and the new year's resolutions...nah, haven't had any in a couple of years so I guess I won't make any this year either. Instead I'm gonna write a list of goals for this year. That's what I've done the last 2 or 3 years, and it feels so good to, at the end of the year, see how many goals you actually reached. So screw the new year's resolutions, they never last longer than until February anyway. Make a list of goals!
Anyway, Happy 2009 Everyone! Let's not make it suck ;)
