PIES & FRIENDS & BIRTHDAYPARTIES

I'm trying to do a thousand things at a time - like usually.
And I think I'm doing pretty well
cleaning, packing & looking after the blueberry-pie in the oven.
Gonna bring it to Anna in an hour for her birthday-thingy, with blankets on the floor and nice eatable stuff that people will bring...
early tomorrow morning I'm off to Gothenburg, so this is probably the lats post for a while, I'm back on friday afternoon, in time for the premiere of the beergarden at Debaser!

so long, have a nice week!

souce: theveronica.se

so; i just booked the tickets for my mini-vacation next week.
first I wanted to go to Paris, Barcelona, or even New York..but for 3 days, Gothenburgh will be perfect aswell! meeting some old friends I haven't seen in a very long time, drinking beer, going through the old parts of Gothenburg and check their secondhand/vintage-stores...and what else?
eat my favourite chocolate-cake at my favourite french café..

BREAKFAST ME

I'd love to have some real afternoontea,
with biscuits, sandwiches, but most of all - scones.
with marmelad, loads of 'em

or wait - hotel breakfast!
please! breakfast....my favourite

TIREDNESS

I.am.Le.tired!

alot!

after working today (which went pretty fast, working with nice girls and lots of customers), I had a nice sit-down and a baked potatoe together with Dominique..I even resisted the blueberry-pie, eventhough I've lately gotten an obsession for blueberries..think I'm gonna bake one during the weekend though..Anna has her birthday on monday and we're probably gonna have a picnic on her livingroomfloor, so a blueberry-pie would work for that

anyway, after that, I had to go fetch my bike which my friend sent to me from my hometown..it landed at the specia-postoffice in an industrial part of the town, where I never want to go back to alone..freezing, changing buses, having no idea where to go, and finally find the postplace, but not the bike....and then I did...then I just had to find my way all the way back home, in the cold, but with the sun shining, and making it quite a nice ride anyway...

I deserve some chocolate now, right?

DESTINATION UNKNOWN

wow, am I good at spending money on food or what?
came back from the supermarket with 2 bags, and 36 euros less..I am ONE person in this household, still I eat for 2!
anyway, my kitchen is stuffed with all kinds of delicious stuff, cause of course they had extra-cheap prices on all that, and of course, I had to buy it.

It's gonna be a quiet Friday for me, but I'm enjoying it. some good food, good tv, and later on maybe painting a bit..working tomorrow, and after that seeing Dominique for some coffee (and waffles I hope, since it's the waffle-day today! LOVE waffles!)
will also try to get to the place where my bicycle has been sent by my friend back in Linköping..it's just that it's reeeally far away from where I live, and oh man...I do need some excercise..

oh also, I kind of already finished my home-exam...it's not supposed to be sent in, until 5th of april so I'm kind of having a frickin' vacation now! was thinking about travelling somewhere next week..london, paris, barcelona..but no, if I'll go somewhere it'll be gothernburg, I have some friends there which I havent seen for long. Also, it's better if I save the money until Bali, and for the summer..cause it's gonna be awesome!

so long!

FRIENDS

It is a bit sad when you realize you're not interested anymore.
you like the thought of it, and you'd like to be
but
the image you've created, but in reality, you noticed, it's not really true.

anyway, yesterday evening was brilliant.
my apartment got filled with people from allover, I thin we , at some point were 11 or 12 people in here. The atmosphere was flawless, cozy and warm..like it should be, and like it's been the last couple of months with me & my friends. Looking forward to the summer, which I'm pretty sure, will be one of the best ones I've had.

CRASH

beautiful photos here

sometimes I'm ultra-platina-blond-minded.
today I panicked when I tthought my computer had just crashed. I tried pushing different bottons, taking the battery out, and putting it in again...stuff like that..
great, just when I need to write my home-exam...
then I saw it, as so many times before,
the plug wasn't where it should've been...which is - in the computer..duh!

other than that, fabulous day,
it's been 14 degrees celsius according to my classmate, and I don't doubt it.
Malmö is a very windy city, and those cold winds can surely kill you , at least that's how it feels everytime the wind comes beneath your jacket, even your skin.
But today, the wind was warm...lukewarm, and wonderful!
tomorrow again! please!

TROUSERS

there's just something about the trousers..the part where they are rolled up, and how they match with the shoes so well..

DO NOT READ

I hate it when my mom reads my blog. please stop.

crying daycare choir

haven't written in a while, been busy working & trying to pack up the rest of the boxes in the apartment. not finished yet, but they're getting less and less..

yesterday was a great night out, starting with me and Kerstin, eating mushroom-pasta here, drining some wine and whatnot. talking about self-images & how others see you, the difference which is always so big.

then we headed to Far i hatten, a bar/restaurant in the middle of a park, where I've always wanted to go. it was so great and cozy, and it felt like a cottage in the swedish archipelago...mm, my new favourite place and summer-hang out to be!
Also met Kerstins friend Anna there, who I instantly bonded with pretty well..love to meet new people who are awesome!
Dominique, Jonatan & their friend (sorry..kalle?) came aswell, and we had a couple of beers, and listened to the WONDERFUL band playing (above):

Crying Daycare Choir! (click to listen)

the music was so great for the atmosphere, really calm and a sounded a bit like fleet foxes or mountain man...hmm

headed off to have some kind of pre-party at Jonatans place..or more like, in the corridor of his place..then to Debaser (big surprise!) and back home to Jonatan afterwards, with a gang of girls i neither liked or talked to really..I guess I was just drunk & tired, so me and Dominique left at about 5..I went home to eat my mushroom pasta, and sleep sleep sleep...nice one!

CIRKUS SALE!

hey guys!
seems like I'm up for a pretty great summer, yep! that's good cause I promised myself that this year would be one of the greatest ones..like..ever!
starting off with going to Bali IMMEDIATELY after school ends (actually before school ends, but whatever)...

then as it seems now, I'll join Monki & Weekday at Cirkus sale, for 2 festivals this summer.
cirkus sale is a kind of sale-tour we do, monki & weekday where we'll be selling left over clothes for about 75-90% of the price in the stores..that's some cheap stuff!
we'll also be having a pimp-your-clothes tent and a chill-out tent with dj's...
I'll be joining for hultsfred/arvikafestivalen and Storsjöyran, up north!
really looking forward do this!

SAFARI JUNGLE CLUB

yelle, a parisian band, some friends of my friend Dominique..
this is one of the songs from their new album, and I can't stop listening to it
LOVE IT!

THIS AIN'T THE PRIDE THAT I NEED

I need someone to fast forward my life 2,5 months or so.
that would be perfect...

SATURDAY

some pictures from saturday. This is after we've all struggled with my boxes and two couches (actually I carried the least..like always)...we enjoyed some delicious vietnamese springrolls that Dominique had made for us, drank some cheap (but quite nice!) white wine, played some of my instruments, and just had an awesome night..more of this, this spring and summer please...sitting in the middle of a minor chaos, with boxes everywhere, just made it even better

thanks, my wonderful friends <3

STRANGE THINGS HAPPEN

today I threw up in the middle of the street infront of the central trainstation. isn't that weird?
I didn't even make a pause in my walking...what a view it must have been..where was my cameraman?

MATILDA

some pictures from my days back in Linköping. I stayed with my friend Matilda, in her new apartment...had such a great, long, perfect, tasty & wonderful breakfast together the first morning! the second morning I had to wake up really early and get back home to Malmö!
more pictures coming..

BOXES

my gosh.
I have soooooo many things.
I'm back home in Malmö after a couple of days visiting My hometown Linköping,
yesterday me and Emil, an old friend, drove down with a big trailer behind the car...
met up here with some other friends who helped me carrying all the thousands and thousands of boxes...
I just bought so many things when I was younger, only to put them in boxes and save for my very own apartment...well I have the apartment but there is not so much space, that I could fit it all in. I didn't know I bought THIS much! but there are loads of really nice vintage-stuff....
a friend gave me the idea to have a yard sale or something with the leftover things after I've tried to sort this all out...right now I can barely walk around in my apartment, it's too blocked with boxes....will show you some pics from the weekend later on!!

have a nice sunday

wallstickers

I'm really into this decorating/painting/interior design-thing now..
oh, just realized I got the new ELLE decor today! gonna curl up in the armchair with a big cup of tea & the magazine

on thursday I'm off to my hometown to bring back all of my stuff, it's gonna be alot..for example 2 couches, which I have no idea where I will put...and loads, loads, loads of other stuff..I' so looking forward to sorting out the boxes I've filled since I was 14, I don't remember all the beautiful things I've collected ever since I was young, until I had my very own apartment..and now I do..

I found a nice website with nice wall-stickers, wallpapers and other things.
they also ship worldwide
have a look!

I'M LEAVING ON A TRAIN

wow, my apartment is so clean...that's a new experience, and I like it!
I've been cleaning for about 3 hours now, with Anja Schneider on high volume..
Had to make room for the new furniture and stuff that I'm bringing back from Linköping this weekend.

I'm actually looking forward to this weekend, there will be alot of sorting out up there, but what I'm looking forward to the most is, staying with my oldest friend (since we were 8) in her new apartment, then coming back with Emil,another friend who will help me drive the car down here and carry all the boxes and couches. some other friends are coming over to help aswell, and in the evening I'm gonna cook a dinner for them, and drink some wine, and just have a great night!

so maybe I won't be updating this blog for a few days, but hang in there..

PYTHAGORAS

just had a nice bath with olive-oil and honey,
don't now if it really did something for my skin, but at least it sounds nice, no?

I'm happy, just got an answer from my landlord, as I asked him if I could paint the cupboard-doors in my kitchen, and the answer was yes!...if I do it properly and no extreme colors..
weeeell, I'm not really the girl who does things properly, and well..I was kind of thinking about aqua/light urquoise doors..is that too extreme? I don't think so, it will be great!
thinking something like this (my fabourite color) : CLICK HERE!

also, I'm thinking about some new wallpaper for a wall in the kitchen, or maybe the wall behind my bed. and I just LOVE these kind of patterns..this one (on the top of this post) is Ljungbergs, by Sven Markelius, 1952 (I think)....it reminds me so much of my favourite pillow from IKEA, and some of the paintings I've been doing lately (will show you sometime)

does anybody know where I can find something similar, a bit cheaper, or maybe there is even somebody who could make one for me?

love,
V.

MONKI

I'm so happy to be working at Monki.
I never bought so much clothes as I'm going now, at least not from the same store. today I was wearing shoes, socks, jeans, top, cardigan and another cardigan, from Monki..
The store is getting filled with spring-garments, and honestly, I want to get them all!

here's some of the new stuff that's already in my wardrobe:

FRANCESCA WOODMAN

photos by Francesca Woodman.
they inspire me, alot, and hopefully I will go to see a movie about her, during the photo Bienale this month

MOVE MOVE MOVE

I did something I thought I'd never do today.
I went to the gym, voluntarily.
And even worse - I liked it!
Me & Mathilda did a step-up class, and I thought it was the perfect tempo for me, I didn't even get tired, but still I felt like I'd been moving all the time, and that it was good excercise..
So I got a card for 15 times, cause I don't want to put me up for a whole year when I'm not sure I will keep going..
anyway they have loads of classes, like afro-dance & yoga which will be the ones I'm gonna try..then I'll just gonna use the regular gym. might go tomorrow actually. I felt like I was high or something afterwards, I just got really happy..

Beach Bali 2011, I'm getting ready
