Grassy mood
Hey peeps! I'm in one of those moods again, the one I apparently get from listening to bluegrass-y music. This always happens, I cruise on natural highness for couple of days and then everything just crashes. If normal ppl go through this, I can't imagine how much it sucks to have a bipolar disorder. It'll be better in a couple of hours probably, sometimes I'll deliberately keep myself in a "low" state so I can be pensive and write and do a little introspection. Although for now I have nothing. Been busy with school and dreamin for a boyfriend, that's all. Time to post the blog and snap out of buhu land, ta!

Mother earths pesky creatures
Lord do I hate insects!!!
Filthy, creeping, crawling, hopping, flying, buzzing, disgusting little creatures. I've accepted the fact that we have to co-exist on this planet, but why oh why do we have to co-exist so close to each other?! Thankfully, since I live in a much much more cooler climate than my former tropical, bug-infested home. At least now I only have to deal with them during summer, which poses another dillema: window open or window closed? Sometimes it's too hot to have it shut but then how would I get a goodnights sleep if I have to chase down every bug that flew in. Even worse, a moth, those f***ers are flat and sticks to one place for so long, makes it hard to track them down, and then they flutter around at night when it's time to go to bed. That's also a problem, how do I keep the window open for it to fly out, but not so it's "friends" won't come in? Do you see what they're doing to me?! Those mindsucking fiends!
I admit that I've squashed, stomped, and squatted a lot of them during my days. Maybe they didn't deserve it, maybe I was unfair, but maybe... just maybe, I don't care. I don't regret slaughtering these inferior, yet superior species, although sometimes I wonder if they'll ever put their vengeance on me, if I were to be buried when I die they would get me then, but I've chosen inceneration after my demise, so those little bastards won't ever get a piece of me.
PS: Spiders are also overwhelmingly creepy, the hairy ones, the long leg ones, even the tiny "where's your head at" ones, they should all (pardon me for being harsh) be wiped off the face of this earth.
*Note: this was dedicated to my dear friend AK. May you never have to check your toilet for spiders ever again.

My movie week
Fav song at the moment: "Ugly girl" by Fleming & John
U gotta check it out, it's a funny "after break-up" song.
So it's been about a week since my 20th bday, and all of that week was spent mostly on movies. Let's start from the 26th of July (the holiest of all holy days), it was almost a perfect birthday, no stress, no too-high-to-reach expectations, a very fun/delicious dinner with my favorite family members (who r in this country), presents and of course Chocolate cake. Definetly changes my approach to future bdays, no more fuss and no more planning for big things that would not likely happen, just a day where u've completed another year in this GOD forsaken place, hehe..... just kidding, couldn't b more happy to be here.
The next day was equally satisfying, I walked around Sthlm and went to the cinema, all by myself. There's a natural high u get from spending the day alone, a certain reassurance that u don't always have to be with someone else to have a good time. I recommend everyone to do it once in a while, if they haven't done it already. I mean really, if you can enjoy ur own company then u're never in bad company.
Anyways, I saw Wedding Crashers, really funny, I wouldn't say it's a "I couldnt stop laughing" kinda movie but it definetly made me laugh a lot, especially Vince Vaughn and Isla Fisher, they were great together, very cute. For anyone who watches Alias, "Will Tippin" is in the movie too. Owen Wilsons nose was a little distracting, but not as much as the dude's head that was sitting in front of me.
On the 28th, I believe I spent the whole day cleaning up the house, some might think it's a chore but for me a "clean home is a happy home", hehehe corny huh, or "a clean house is a clean soul". It's true though, life becomes less stressfull when there's less clutter everywhere, man do I love throwing stuff away. When I have my own home, nothing in it will be there if it didn't have a purpose, anything useless would be trashed. (Note to self: reason not to have children)
Whatever the next day was, it came, and on that day I saw War of the Worlds, which was alright except I found it a little anti-climatic, however the angle of the movie was "new" so it wasn't a bad movie at all. Just have to say though, Tom Cruise's jeans were a lil too tight for my taste.
After that the following 3/4 days we went DVD-rent crazy, with these films:
#Dodgeball
Again, a funny, entertaining movie with the cutest tall man Vince V. Although, I think Justin Long was the funniest in this one.
#Bad Santa
I've seen it before, and it really is a good-hearted, sweet, christmas movie even if it doesn't seem so at first. The kid is so great in it.
#Taxi (Jimmy Fallon version)
Because I saw the french one it was a little odd to see Queen Latifah as that character, but after awhile u forget and its quite entertaining, car chases were cool and there is a certain relief-ness when u don't have to read the subtitles.
#Anchorman
Not hillarious but adequate. There were little moments that were truly funny and the best part was all the famous cameos that showed up throughout the film.
#Motorcycle diaries
OMG! Gaél Garcia Bernal is such a babe/cutie/hottie/handsome man. I knew he was cute before but this was the first movie I saw with him, and photos do not do him justice at all, u really have to see him on screen. OMG!!! even my mother couldn't stop saying how cute he was. Speaking of fine men, I realised that most striking-looking guys actually have ugly features when you look closely, weird noses or big lips or monkey-like jawline, but the combination is amazing. Aaah, God bless them all! :)
#Rundown
Wanted to c this cause the trailer and the clips were funny, turns out those were almost all of the funny parts from the whole thing.
#Before Sunset
No matter how many times I watch this film, it's great everytime. This time I noticed that Julie Delpy talked a lot more than Ethan Hawke, and that from the first time he saw her at that book shop, he was just longing to touch her. Oh such a sweet, and simple yet powerfull movie.
#Prince & me
Standard chick flick plus the weirdness of ppl in Denmark speaking english with a scandinavian accent.
#Collateral
Technically my brother saw it this time cause I saw it in the movies looong time ago, but comment provided anyway. Tom Cruise is really cool in this one, love the way he says things, mean yet articulate plus the sarcasm.
So ultimately, I spent my "bday week" in a truly old-nicole style, the one who loved the movies so much but nowadays to cheap to spend money on entertainment.
