Because I'm 1. In Sweden and 2. Impatient, I just watched my first complete speech by Obama.

Dear americans, you have chosen a president with the charisma of Captain Carrot (albeit in a much skinnier form) and the rethorical abilities of movie!Aragorn (a bit of the Morannon-speech, but without the sword, and a lot of the coronation-speech, but ( Read more... )

 WTF mediafire? Stop being unaccessable from my connection. Damn it ( Read more... )

Very sorry for lack of updates. Body failing spectacularly in several ways. Am considering possibility of refund, or exchange to less faulty version. When not in pain or ridicoulusly tired, trying to study and be girlfriend. V. v. complicated, as have not been girlfriend since in the throes of puberty-psychosis ( Read more... )

 
Since I'm going to be internetless past Boxing Day, this is the end of my Musical Advent Calendar. To make up for having slacked off and for ending it early, here's 38 of the best songs of this year, some released this year, some discovered this year.

Movement is freedom (I like trains and planes as well, but I have less control over those) and while I'm travelling, I'm not expected to do anything else. There's not really any other situation where that is the case. To feel that freedom to the max, music ( Read more... )

So, three days behind. Thus, three very small posts in the calendar.

Cider, chips and post-Frog gossip at Nambucca require Ladyfuzz's Oh Marie. I have so many happy memories to this song.

Last Dåliga Gatan of this season was on this day. Håkan Hellström's Ramlar has the phrase the club is most likely named after. (And yes, it was a great night, as ( Read more... )

Todays theme: Songs affecting my libido.

Melissa Auf Der Maur played in two of the best bands of the nineties and early noughties, Hole and Smashing Pumpkins. Her solo album, which came out in '03 or '04 is one of the sexiest albums I own. And it's relatively un-neurotic sex, which is occasionaly nice (or so I'm told). Real a Lie is fantastic and ( Read more... )

 The Boy complicates things. That and a report on how medieval litterature was and is treated in Swedish schools.

So. Musical advent calendar, twelfth part. Just one song.
