Have grown addicted to podcasts from Sveriges Radio, among other "Tankar för dagen" (Thoughts for the day), which is an approximately 3 minutes everyday reflection. Every day. Quite philosophical, very humanistic, very relaxing. I'm working hard on becoming old! I'd love to pick up knitting as well. Seriously! A couple of girls do it in my ( Read more... )

I got my new darling a week ago, and it's a match made in heaven! I've set up a mobile blog, where I can post entries and pictures straight from the phone when on the move. Enjoy and boomark it to keep track of me when I'm out and about!

Back to work... I got my Pragmatics essay due-date extended till Tuesday, which feels great. Before that, on ( Read more... )

Am listening to Timo Räisänen, dancing around the flat and singing (well, hmm) loudly. Man, I love that sweet man. Isn't he just adorable??

I thought I'd post the lyrics to the above linked video as well. I guess this song's really about lovers, but I thought it could just as well be applied to my feud against my essay. I shall prevail! All in good ( Read more... )

Sometimes
when I open the cupboard
where we keep our teas

I get a sharp cut of ice-cold pain
right through the center of my chest.

The thing I miss the most about my dad, is not my dad himself, but the constellation of my dad and my mum. The whole parent and mum-concept has changed into something new. She's no longer a part of the concept that ( Read more... )

Panic is crawling in my legs. Panic is tickling inside my veins. Panic is pulling me backwards, years backwards. I fight back, I kick back, I push it back. There's a gentle war going on inside. Me vs. Panic. I take rational measures against Mr. Panic, and for the moment they seem to be working tolerably.

Yup, essay on the way. It's hard work. It' ( Read more... )

Today would have been my father's 59th birthday. His death feels like forever ago. It was another life, back then.  There's not much more I can say about it.  Though he's on my mind all day today. My darling, beloved papa Bear.

On another note: Today is the day youth caught up with reality. All my love to you, my friends. You'll do well.

Just got back from my weekly cult meeting... Last week I had actually gained +0.8 kilo, so I was a bit weary when stepping onto the scales today... but I had in fact lost -1.6 kilo!
I'm so incredibly proud of myself!!!

Baah. Am feeling poorly with a sore throat and swollen eyes. I always miss my dad terribly on days like these. I wish he could be here to tell me everything will be allright. I'm sure everything will, but hearing him saying it... I want my daddy, that's all!!

Can't decide whether to stay home or going to class. I hate missing lectures! Well, I ( Read more... )

Just got back from having coffee - at our neighbours'!!!
They moved in about a month ago and invited us over tonight. They're really cool and friendly, I just thought that you only hung out with your friends when you're 40+ living in a residential area... It was great anyways. I gues we'll invite them over to ours soon!

Haven't spent much time by ( Read more... )

Had a whole entry planned in my head, but forgot it all... It was probably something along the lines of it being really sunny, me being quite tanned and me being excited about Julia's arrival tomorrow... Well, that's about it for now!
