May 25th is internationally (and intergalactically ) known as Towel Day, the day when we pay tribute to the legendary Douglas Adams. In case you don’t know (shame on you) he’s the author ...
This post is about menstruation, blood and gore. I.e. all the joys of being a woman. Men and other squeamish creatures might wanna skip this. Ever since puberty hit I’ve been cursing the hassle...
Aaaand now I’m sick. Markus was completely knocked out for most of last week from a massive cold, and now I have caught it from him. Great. I don’t normally stay in bed when I’m sic...
Happy Beltane/Walpurgi’s Night people! Just like last year I’ve lit a tiny Beltane fire (i.e. a candle in a lantern) on the balcony. But no drink. So far. In other news, that I think I...
Deanna of StubbornOx.net passed on the Versatile Blogger award to me! Thank you! I actually love silly stuff like these (just as I love lists, and surveys) so I’m more than happy to participate...
As you may or may not be aware of Pottermore opened for everyone this weekend – and being the childish Potterhead that I am, I hit the sign up-button the second I saw it! My first impression is...
I’ve been pixeling again. I’ve noticed I do it in cycles, sometimes I can go months and years with absolutely no inspiration (or time…) and then I suddenly tilt and produce a whole ...
George the werewolf, Mitchell the vampire and Annie the ghost. I’d like to take a moment and talk about my new favourite show: Being Human. (The UK original, of course.) For those not in the kn...
Today my bony, tiger-striped pooch is 7 years old! He has spent all day with me here at work. Soon it’s time to go home, but I think we’re gonna stop by the pet store first and pick up a ...
Hey, tomorrow is the spring equinox! We’ve been having some warm weather this past week, but calling it spring would be an exaggeration. There’s still plenty of snow on the ground and the...
My hair is currently driving me insane. I’ve had a sidecut (right side of head long-ish, left side buzz cut) for quite a while, but now I have some ideas for other haircuts I want to try and th...
So… apparently Bella didn’t like her new home. Or her new home didn’t like her, I don’t know which. They said she was meowing all nights so they couldn’t sleep and becau...
Music is one of the two things that inspire me the most in life. The other is nature. Just about everything I do, from the way I dress to the people I choose to be friends with, can be traced back to...
After my previous announcement I feel like talking a little about marriage. The thing is, marriage has never been on my bucket list. I can honestly say I’ve never dreamt about my wedding day (l...
Yep, looks like I’m getting hitched. On Friday, February 17 I proposed to Markus – and he said yes! On Friday evening, after dinner, I set the scene in the kitchen with some fancy ice-cre...
It’s been very cold here for the past two weeks (ranging between -18°C and -30°C) so I have avoided going outside, but now it’s getting warmer again so I’ve been taking my new phone...
As you might know we have had a foster cat named Bella living with us for a while. Almost 6 months to be precise, she came to us from the local animal protection association in August last year. And ...
This is actually a little awkward to admit, having spent the past 4 or 5 years muttering about how “I don’t need my phone to do anything other than send and receive phone calls“, bu...
Let me introduce something very Scandinavian: the semla. It’s a kind of pastry made from wheat buns spiced with cardamom. You slice the top of and put it aside, then hollow out the bottom part....
As I think I’ve mentioned earlier we went to the movies on Christmas Day to see The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, the US version. I read the books by Stieg Larsson some years ago and I’ve ...
Did everyone have a nice New Year’s Eve? We had a small party at home with a bunch of friends and at 00.00 we all crowded together on the balcony to watch the fireworks. It was a nice and calm ...
Hey, I survived the weekend! Hope you all did too I had a nice and calm Christmas at Markus parents. It was just me and Markus, his sister and parents. And the dog. The cat stayed with a friend for t...
I’m crazy busy this week, but I guess that goes for most of us this time of year? Tomorrow is the winter solstice which will not be celebrated at all ( ) since I’ll be too busy getting st...
I love decorating for holidays (any holidays!) so I thought I’d show you some of my decorations this year. Like that army of snowmen I mentioned earlier My living room. It’s mostly black,...
I got my hands on a charcoal pencil a while ago and have been experimenting with it. Unlike graphite the sketches actually comes out black, which I love, and the softness makes it easy to smudge to c...
Yesterday was Advent Sunday which means Christmas season is officially here I spent a big part of Saturday putting up Christmas decorations at home (there’s an army of snowmen in my living room...
Finally!! But it’s not much, and the thermometer is showing 0°C (32°F) so it’s really warm and wet and will probably be gone by tomorrow… Do you know how disturbing it is that we ha...
I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before, but I fail at television. I watch an episode of something great and I say to myself “I have to remember to watch this next week” bu...
A few days ago I went to the hair dresser to clean up my mohawk, but I came home with a shiny new sidecut instead For now it’s only short to a bit behind the ear, but I’m thinking about s...
I’ve seen this floating around the blogosphere recently (among others Caity and Liz has done it) and wanted to participate For some reason people seem to expect that just because I can draw I s...
