Heja Sverige!

Yes, så er jeg hjemvendt fra det kolde nord - interessant at se en by, hvor der faktisk bliver ryddet mindre end i Århus.

Alt i alt en positiv oplevelse - jeg forstod desværre ikke så meget af, hvad der blev sagt både til forelæsning, på kunstmuseum og i teateret, men heldigvis skal der ikke så mange gloser til for at shoppe!! Jeg fik da også snakket med en enkelt svensker, som heldigvis var i selskab med sin engelske ven; det synes jeg var en udemærket undskyldning for at snakke engelsk! Englænderen sagde forresten, at det eneste sted, han nogensinde har set en ægte dansk, rød pølsevogns-pølse er på Discovery...imagine that.

Og så lærte jeg et nu ord på svensk: "Rea" som er en forkortelse for "realisation" og betyder "udsalg" :D

Sverige, Sverige, Sverige!!

Jep, så er det i morgen meget tidlig jeg drager mod Sverige med uni - tre dage, hvor jeg forstår absolut ingenting af hvad der bliver sagt....nej, det skal sgu nok blive sjovt; jeg må jo bare bruge min ordbog flittigt!!

"Red Joppa, död eller levande!!"

- eller noget i den retning!!

Ferie, ferie, ferie!!

Så har jeg været oppe til eksamen i Litteraturhistorie. Jeg præsterede at trække det emne for os, som var det eneste, vi ikke havde lavet disposition til, men det gik fint, og vi bestod allesammen.

Så resten af dagen er ikke overraskende gået med øl, lur og så lidt mere øl.

Og bortset fra en vagt i Bauhaus i morgen, så har jeg nu 10 dage helt, fuldstændigt fri :-D dejligt...

Åh, så træt

Var til julefrokost med Karmakoret i går aftes. Vældig hyggeligt, og en af de mest aktive pakkelege nogensinde (jeg vandt en Toms guldbarre og en flødeskumssprøjte).

Men nu er jeg bare så trær - jeg har oven i købet sovet 10 timer, men det er lige meget, når jeg har været ude og drikke. Og jeg skal have læst Johannes Ewald's "Levnet og Meeninger" til i morgen...æv æv!

Barok coming up.

Så blev det lige pludselig søndag, og jeg har 200 sider om barok, som skal læses i dag, da jeg skal mødes med min læsegruppe in morgen. *Suk* Og så er jeg oven i købet stået super-sent op, fordi jeg var til afskedsmiddag hos en pige fra arbejde i går, og det blev vist til nogle pina coladas og et par Coronas - til gengæld var det super-sjovt at opleve mine nærmeste kollegaer på banen med ulækre historier og private detaljer...jeg har et helt nyt syn på dem nu :-D

"Mrs. Henderson Presents"

Another Filmclub film, which means that we're never really sure what to expect. This one is about a widow, who, just before WW2, starts a controversial theater in London with nude women. When the war starts, the other theaters close down, but she insists on going on.

In reality, I guess it's about hope. For someone who's seen two world wars, it's amazing how she will keep on going - mostly for the young men who are going to war, I guess, but still.

It was quite a nice little film with a rather broad sence of humour. Mrs. Henderson (played by Judi Dench) is a very real character - strong and independent (and because of that, very amusing), but just underneath the surface, fragile and sad - both in the sense that she is still in some state of morning, but also just a sad sort of person.

I definitely think it's worth watching, but since it's stopped running in the cinemaes, I would recommmend to wait for the dvd :-)

I told ya, I must be getting old!

First the reminiscing, then my eye-sight and now it turns out that my once-in-a-while headache plus vomiting is migraine. So now I have to go to the doctor's to have my blood pressure measured, buy ridiculously expensive migraine pills and maybe stop taking the pill because it could be making the migraines worse. Oh yeah, and there was talk of acupuncture!!

I've never actually had an illness like that (if it even qualifies), so it bothers me a bit that I suddenly have to start thinking about it. Must mean I'm getting old...

I'm going blind!!

Had an appointtment with my lense guy today, because I sometimes have blurry vision on one eye. Apparently, it's just because I'm going blind...he gave me new lenses, so now I'm up to -2.75 - how sad!!

"Domino"

I will admit straight up that one of th reasons I was looking forward to this film was because it was supposed to contain hints to "Beverly Hills 90210" - I used to love that show! But also the story about an overclass girl turned bounty hunter sounded rather cool - apparently it's a tru story. I'd read a rather bad review of it, where the guy was complaining about the cutting, the shortness of the scenes, the story-telling etc, but I usually don't pay any attention to film reviews, because often I disagree.

Like I did this time.

I rarely watch an action film that can actually keep my attention, but this one was cool. I think because the action scenes were mixed with fragments of the story and lots of times they ended up providing little twist and turns to the story. So I guess it wasn't your typical action film, since there were no ten minute scenes of pure car chase and shooting, which is usually where my mind wanders.

Plus, I've only seen Keira Knightley in "Love Actually", where she's just about the nicest person on the planet, so it was a bit wierd when the film almost started out with her shouting 'PUT THE FUCKING GUN DOWN", but she was great. She was cool, calm and collected :-)
Apart from her, most of the other characters were quite funny and interesting as well - there was a fantastic scene where one of the black women, Lateesha, is on Jerry Springer promoting new names for mixed races, calling herself a "blacktino" (or something similar) - oh my God.

Definitely go watch it.

And not just because Brian Austen Green and Ian Ziering also both are way cooler here than they ever were in "90210" :-D
