Weekend

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!

3 weeks to go! Holy shit!!!

Apartment

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? :)

Båstad

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

Explode

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.

Wedding

The lovely couple!

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!! :)

More pictures to come :)

Dinner

All dolled up at the pre wedding dinner Friday.

Slow down

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. :)

Pool

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!! :)

Relaxing

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! :)

Social

My parents have learned to socialize like the rest of us :)

Vacation

After today I have a weeks vacation!! Yaaay!

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. :)

All of you with six weeks: I'm moving to LA.

Under water dogs

I wanna be photographer Seth Casteel when I grow up!! :)

Hilarious!! Imagine taking these photos for a living! 

Midsummer Pics

Kindness

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.

Midsummer

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

Lexington

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!

American Visa

So, my Visa is now approved! Now nothing can stop me!! Yaay!!

Possibilitarian

I just love Kelly Rae Roberts artwork :)

Visa

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!

Loony's Review

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.

Out

A couple of beers out with the girls! Finally!! 

Weird

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!

Dress

Here it is, the absolutely fabulous bridesmaids dress that I will be wearing to Angelica's wedding! I just love that I get to be there for her!! :)
