Hannah, the little sweet lady from the canteen, gave us all sweets today. She is the best. She calls everyone "girl" (at least the girls) and she is very cute.

waking up is hard to do

I'm so tired. So so tired. Took me half an hour to wake up.

Looking forward to this film.

Also, general wierdness. Me and Ida were trying to define the rules a bit. It's hard to know how peoples relationships really work around here.

Yesterday we had dinner at Amalie's. A sort of fish gratin with vegetables, white wine and lots of cheese. It was great. Tonight I will make funny lasagna (the kind with chicken, spinach, rocket and blue cheese among other things) for Dave since he housewatches for us when the internet people come to give us the internet. So today we get internet to our house. Only Sara has a working computer, but at least we can download Buffy.

Beautiful weather today. My head hurts.

This is the winter of our discount tent

Interesting how people can't understand that you can be happy but still kinda sensitive. Slings and arrows and shit. Generally I'm stable but it's not so much fun when people say genuinely mean things to you (although I don't take it very personally) or ignore you or anything like that.

This support I'm working in is very supportive. On friday I was a bit down, and everyone just got it within an hour and they gave me hugs. I liked it here before, but I have never felt that I am a part of a team this tight. So the latest couple of weeks have been great. The latest couple of days on the other hand have been... weird. It seems like I'm a part of something that I don't even know or understand. I sincerely hope that it passes soon.

another weekend passed

Friday was incredibly bad but on saturday we had our moving in party. Sunday was good. Good company, good food, Monty Python and good hot chocolate.

When I drink whiskey I drink very slowly, so I get kinda drunk but not so very hungover. Which is good.

Now I'm going home.

Song of the day: Weak become heroes by The Streets.

home

I feel at home. It's a bit strange to feel this totally comfortable in a place where you actually are a stranger. I remember how I felt the last two or three months in Sweden, and it wasn't very good. Here is good.

He's Gone

But having him here was good. Very good. I prepared for feeling bad about seeing him go, but I didn't. And of course everyone was charmed, because he is charming. I have to say that this was a very good weekend.

Right now I feel like listening to Leonard Cohen and doing something, go sailing or riding a bicycle or anything. I'm a bit restless.

(I need you, I don't need you)

Yesterday I made a very good lasagna. And it was fat tuesday, so Sara made very small and flat semlor, but they where very very good since they where the only ones available.

Tonight is house meeting. After that I'm going for a pint with Amalie, and maybe I'm calling George as well. And planned for the weekend is Lust, Caution and I'm not here or I'm not there or whatever it's called. I keep forgetting. The one about Dylan.

I'm planning to go to Berlin in the spring.

Blogthings

This is not a filmblog, or a bookblog, or a sportblog. But it seems like people read it anyways. Wich kind of makes me want to write better. And more.

Right now I am not at work, despite the fact that it is half two on a monday. I am off today, wich is great. So I'm at a internet cafe at Barrack, hanging around while my company is reading hockey blogs.

I have moved! To Vicar street! With Sara and Maria and I love it. Yesterday I made mom's lemon and terragon chicken, and it felt very much like home. Not only home, but a home. Mine.

Meanwhile, at "home", in Sweden that is, which is of course "home" although Cork feels more like home after just a couple of months, my new baby sister is born. Since friday I have two sisters instead of one. Which is a miracle and I love them both eternally. (Yes, okay, I love my brothers too.) Of all the people in the world, these are the most inportant to me. All four of them.

My stubborn cold seems to slowly subside, my painfull tooth is still painful but not as bad, and my visitor is making me happy. It has been a very good weekend, even though most of saturday was spent moving. I have new shoes, new jeans, the Alien quadrology and the first season of Monthy Pyton's Flying Circus. (And for all this I spent € 30. Wow like.)

Sweeny Todd was good mostly because of exelent music and the fact that Depp was a much better singer than I would have thought. But Burton will have to be a little more than just Burton to impress. Just doing the same thing with the same actors over and over again does not make me happy, even though I count myself as a Burton fan. I wonder what he will make of Alice. It is a book that I adore, but the film is based on the computer game. Starring Sarah Michelle Gellar as Alice, returning to Wonderland many years later. I must admit that I am highly sceptical. Well, I'll have to wait about a year to find out if Burton is still able to surprise me, and if he is good enough to direct Gellar into a mentally challenged Alice.
