No, this is not my laptop.
But as it turns out it might as well have been! Returned my work laptop and dug out my own and started updating it, Windows 7, plugins, yada yada. I thought I bought it maybe.... 3 years ago or something, but once we started updating it we realized that it must be at least 5-6 years ago! What!!? So of course there weren't any plugins and updates available for it!! Especially since it originally supported Windows Vista.
So, today I'm gonna go shopping for a new one. NOT in budget, so we'll see what I find :)
I have already looked in to making an appointment for a blowout my first week in LA.
Since they banned it in Sweden I look pretty much like Rapunzel in the morning :)
It's cheaper over there anyways, so I just have to stick it out until I get there!
Silky smooth hair, here I come (again)!!
A part from a relaxing weekend with friends and family there has been a disturbing interruption that has just about driven me insane!
A week ago:
"Yes, you can have the room in the apt." :)
Friday:
"Loony will be staying in the livingroom." :O
*waiting, waiting, waiting*
"Ok, you don't have to stay in the livingroom" :)
Saturday:
"Oh, you guys only wan't to pay for one if you are sharing a room? But then we can't afford it!" :/
*waiting, waiting, waiting*
"We'll find other roomates that want to pay full, no worries, and you still have your own room." :D
Back and forth all weekend! Geez!! So supposedly everything is fine now, let's just hope it stays that way. :)
I'm spending the weekend where I grew up, Tumbo. My uncle and his family lives here, and my granny! She should have passed years ago, but is a cool old bat, and will probably outlive us all! :)
The Plot: Well hey guys, we know this one. Peter Parker, photo nerd, living with his aunt an uncle gets bitten by a radioactive spider and tadaaaa! Of course someone dies, there is a cute girl and a really mean, mean man who want's to kill most of the world.
No really, that's about it!
The plot is pretty much the same as in the older version, with the exception that Peters dad is involved in the whole radioactive-spider-business before he died, and the meanie is a giant lizard. Yaay? Not so much. Even before the movie i referred to it as a chick flick, and it turned out to be pretty much true.
But there's nothing wrong with the acting! Sally Field!! Oh my god, I love her! Even though this part wasn't exactly extensive it was great to see her on the screen again, but check out Brothers & Sisters (series) if you want more of her. And Martin Sheen! No complaints there!
Really happy to se Rhys Ifans in a, somewhat, normal character. He has done it before, but since he is just so brilliant att playng a dofus we tend to love him more in those parts. And Dennis Leary has come a long way from the fast talking political complainer on MTV. Wish he would do more movies and not just voice overs for Ice Age, and hopefully this part will give him the chance.
So, for the main characters! I'm a bit on the fence about both of them actually. I love Andrew Garfield, and he plays the part well, but still. I don't really buy it. Or maybe I just wish that Peter Parker was less of a nerd to begin with. I would love to se Andrew as a Psycho killer! I think he'd be great at it!
I'm also a big fan of Emma Stone, but same thing there, she is playing a young schoolgirl...
I think that perhaps it's just me getting old! :)
The movie is def worth seeing, but don't expect any surprises.
In the middle of everything I have fallen inlove!!! With these Boots! From Rag & Bone and they are about 500$. I am of course on a strict no-shopping-diet before I leave, and once I'm there I'll be a very, very poor student, but Dear Santa, if I promise to be really, really good, maybe I could get these in advance...?
Ok, so, three weeks from now I will be standing in the airport waiting to board for LA. CRAZY!!!
And the living arrangements got resolved last night, thank god! I haven't been able to sleep for the past week, going back and forth between different options. But now it's settled! I'll share an apt with 3-4 other girls, but I'll get my own bedroom, and pay a bit more than them. Seriously, I'm way to old to share a bedroom. Especially with a 20-year old! Would drive me nuts! That's how old I am! :) If they knew how old I am they probably wouldn't let me live with them, hahaha!
Tomorrow it's back to work, but I have had such a great weekend! Lovely dinner Thursday with my great friends from Jönköping. Going out to one of the Islands with a friends boat of Friday, barbecue, wine and lots of fun! A Saturday just relaxing, hanging out having dinner with friends, and today Sunday! Hanging out with a great friend in the sun all day and then going to the movies seeing Spiderman! Now I'm home curing my cold, getting ready for another week of work.
All and all, fantastic weekend!
Getting a place to stay in Fullerton is taking forever. Communication is slow, and suddenly it's less than a month until I go! :) But I'm gonna try to keep my cool. Some students even look for a place once they get there, so, keeping my cool. Not worrying.
Did I at least convince You? :)
Since I have never been to Båstad on the official "Tennis-week" I decided it was time to tick that of my list before I move! And it was also the first time I partied in AGES, so it was all and all a good weekend! Wonderful friends, great food, lots of drinks, and just so much fun! I want more!! :)
I'm really gonna miss this crazy bunch! Hopefully they will come visit :) <3
I feel like my head is about to explode!
I have got everything in order for my departure, and it looks like the housing arrangements are falling into place as well. And yet I feel totally stressed out!
I think it's because I want to leave. I want to go NOW! I have been waiting for this for almost a year, and now it's just a month to go! So. Very. Excited.
This was one of the best weddings I have ever attended! So filled with love, fun and crazy, the way it should be! So happy to have been a part of it and seeing my lovely Angelica get her Viktor. I love them both to death!! :)
I have said it before, but doing nothing is highly underrated. Today was spent in a sunbed while rug rats, family and friends were swimming in the pool. A coffee. A bit of sunscreen. Throwing a couple of kids in the pool, while they are laughing at the top of their lungs. This is vacation. :)
After having to act lifeguard when the little one fell in the pool without his floaties, we are now ready to play in the pool in an orderly fashion :)
He also did my hair by the way!! :)
My hometown Vimmerby might not completely deliver when it comes to great weather, but it certainly does in regards to relaxation. In a Onepiece with a glass of Martini Rose by the pool. What more could a girl want! :)
