Im all you require

what Ive been enjoying lately:forbrydelsen (the killing) - the danish tv crime series. I dont really have words to describe how perfect it is and how much I adore sarah lund (the main character) and want to be like her. Ill be forever grateful to Anna Maria, who recommended this piece of genius to me in comments under the last post. accidentally, forbrydelsen involves lars mikkelsen (the brother of... yup, you guessed it!) and, if thats not enough for you, my latest crush - mikael birkkjær, whose disturbingly good looks deserve a special shout-out of their own. now Ill be watching borgen, another danish drama series (most importantly - it features the adorable mr birkkjær) (seriously, such a small country and so much talent! if anyone from denmark is reading this - I salute you! tillykke!)summer in london (well, thats abit of a stretch... english summer rain - seems to last for ages. if youre in londontown these days, you know what I mean). but theres something about those sunny mornings, smelling of toast and coffee and promise of good thing to come. even if it rains cats and dogs later on. lazy lunches with friends (I swear there are so many people seriously getting their drink on during lunchtime. and you wonder why the credit crunch happened?). cocktails after work and guys in the city rolling their sleeves up (have I mentioned I have a bit of a fetish for forearms? no?... sometimes I think I share too much on this blog.)coffee. and the more coffee. for some reason Im drinking obscene amounts of it these days. the first sip in the morning... mmm. good times. (when its particulary great coffee, I always think of this)the prospect of moving to a new flat in september. I can barely afford it... but its in my favourite area and such a great little place! finally Ill be able to unashamedly invite people over! Im so done with living in student accomodation...my anthem these days, molokos live performance of pure pleasure seeker. róisín murphy is dynamite. last but so not least, Polands volleyball team winning our first medal in world league. this is a bit late, but still - well done, boys!in the meantime, Im very much present on my tumblr, which I can only hope somewhat makes up for my pathetically sparse posting here. so if youre up for lots of photos of scandinavia, coffee, countryside, lovely food, champagne and men I fancy (usually twice my age, youve been warned), come and visit me at nonchalance.have a great, restful weekend! meanwhile, in finland - summer nights.rixatrix on flickr
