I know, it doesn't sound like much, and it's not, but I will be spending it in my hometown Vimmerby prepping for my lovely Angelica's wedding. Plus I'm moving out of my apartment. And I'll sort out all the last stuff for LA. Nuts!! I'm leaving in just over a month, haha!
And except for the very whort week of vacation I'll spend a weekend in Båstad with lovely Daniella and Karin. And hopefully when I get to LA I can take a couple of days from sorting stuff out and just be a tourist. Yeah. I think that will do. I don't mind the one week vacation at all. :)
Things are working out. Things that I thought would be a problem are solving them selves thanks to all the wonderful people in my life, helping out, being there. A place to stay, help when I couldn't do the smallest things, a dress from London, shoes from Gothenburg, costs of things I thought I needed. The stress and anxiety that has been relieved by these wonderful people, they don't know how much each little thing has meant.
On Friday it's time for Swedish Midsummer! There's 35 of us spending it in a friends garden, and I bet all of us will try to cram in to his outdoor hot tub, haha!
Heres the German take on Midsummer. Slightly exaggerated. Just slightly. :p
Last night was spent at the Lexington fashion show, hosted by Bindefeld! It was really nice, and they were so lucky with the weather!! After some bubbly we got to see the show, and then had a great buffet outside in the sun! Lovely!! And of course, the goodiebag was a killer! Great night with great company!
There's alot of papers to get in order before you get your Visa. Original receipts of payments, documentation stamped and signed by the authorities and so on! Tomorrow I'm (hopefully) getting the last two things out of the way, and then on Thursday it's interview time!
I have watched soooo many movies lately that if I were to write about all of them, that's all this blog would be about. This movie however deserves a mention.
Prometheus (serious spoiler alert)
The Plot: Ok so, scientists fly into space to find our makers at a distant planet. And they do, big white dudes!! They seem to be all dead though, but there are lots of other things to play with. Germs, worms, general fun things that might kill you. Nothing to worry about. Unless, you have an evil robot, a delusional old man and an incredibly stupid crew on board. Then there's some stuff to worry about. Like being impregnated with a squid, evil worms taking over your body, oh and that's right, the big white dudes want to destroy mankind. Apparently they weren't happy with how we came out, or something. Which has to be stopped, of course. All while surviving. So there's that.
Right, lets brake it down! Actors!
First of all, Noomi, Noomi, Noomi, I love you but please do something about that horrible accent! Or have the character come from Norway or something! Anything, but pretending to be Brittish is not working!
Michael Fassbender. Fanstastic as always.
Charlize Theron, of course also great, but I wish her character had had as much balls as you think she does when you first meet her. I guess I have to see Snowhithe and the Huntsman for that.
Guy Pierce, why in gods name did they need him to get all maked up as an old man? Why not just get an old man?!?!
Idris Elba I have waited for, wondering where he would turn up! Unfortunately this part doesn't leave much of an impression, but def does it's job.
I do like Logan Marshall-Green, I just wish he could have lived just a little bit longer.
Bad stuff:
Taking helmets off in a breathable environment not worrying about germs and bugs? Really??
Cute guy dies to early.
When all of a sudden a crew member turns in to Sloth from the Goonies.
Squiddy alien thingies. Where's the beautiful Spacejockey??
Guy Pierce posing as an old man instead of an actual old man! Stupid!
Good stuff.
Ok, here we go!!! Noomi is actually a good actor and as a buildup for a no 2, where she'd toughen up a bit, it's great!
I love the fact that we get right down to business, and that the back story doesn't take to long. And we still have the classical Alien shots.
The connection to the first Alien movie. It makes you want more :)
And of course, effects!! Except for the squids, as mentioned before.
Def worth seeing and even though I'm not in aw, I can't wait for no 2! The second Alien movie is my all time favorite. No pressure.
Yesterday I met up with my sweetheart Karin for a walk in the crappy weather, and it turned into a tourist day in our hometown! "Taste of Stockholm" started the same day so we had some dutch pancakes and polish pirogi, and the walk took us not only to the city aquarium but also on to a big museum ship, where we got to go down into the engine room. Weird thing to do, but lots of fun! How often do you get to see a steam engine of a huge ship!
