I mean, Legolas? Eat your heart out. Spiderman? Same to you. Batman, you're not even in the running. James Bond can get lost, too.

I want to be able to do that. Sort of. Aside from the jumping down from buildings part, that just looks scary.

Went to Stuttgart with my father to see the Leonard Cohen concert. Since I missed him when he came to Scandinavia (in the beginning of August, the day(s) before my pharmacology/toxicology examination) I thought I'd go see him before he leaves Europe. Who knows if he'll ever return? After all, he's 76 years old. And he's been my favourite poet- ( Read more... )
