Snow's Gone

The temperature is up to +4. The snow is almost gone. There's soft wind and sunshine. It used to be -15 this time of the year. So I guess winter's gone too. Greenhouse effect, anyone?

I'm cold.

Oh and I had the weirdest nightmare EVER! I don't remember much anymore since I've been up for eight hours now, but I remember the bit where there were worms in my veins and I cut little cuts and squeezed them out of me. I woke up itching, so I took a three-hour bath and changed the sheets. I have been watching some scary movies, but I skipped all the gory ones. I think the movies are not to blamed for this dream. I think it's Trauma Center - Second Opinion, which I've been playing on Wii. There's an operation where you have to make small cuts in order to get some nasty things out of a patient. I hate that game.

Speaking of games, We have bought only a few games for our Wii: Resident Evil 4, Raving Rabbids and Raving Rabbids TV Party, Fit and Sports. I love Raving Rabbids, I've had some of my best laughs playing Raving Rabbids 2 that we borrowed from one of J's friends. The balance board has been my favorite since I realized how to work my balance. Tip: Don't bother with the yoga, it will only make you frustrated or feel inadequate. Besides, Fit's Age calculator sucks. My body is 21 years old in it's opinion.

Eric's Hot

No, not Eric Cartman

Eric Northman the character from True Blood. His real name? Dunno and don't care, apple to ones eye won't need a name because it just lasts for that second. Well, for you who care, this cutie pie is voted ten or so times the hottest guy in Sweden. Born in Stockholm, Sweden in 1976 was named Alexander Skarsgård (and yes he is related to Stellan Skarsgård, being the son).

I bet my life he's gay.

And in this photo on IMDB, he looks like Eva Green.

I love Swedish, especially coming out of something that looks like that.

Anyway, rest your eyes on this:


Or this...



How kawaii is THAT? Huh? I always though guy wearing a top like that was hillbillyish, but look at that pack? Would you put that in a suit? Nooooooo-o.

And when the hell did I start liking guys with long hair? Swedish guys.. well, I used to date a guy from Stockholm, but he was a computer whiz, drove a BMW and was too skinny.

If You Had Money, What Would You Do With It?

So,

Let's imagine you've won €6500000 (That's USD 8 375 000, CAD10 000 000, GBP 5 500 000 or JPY 811 000 000), what would you do with all the money?

I've heard inspiring stories, like one guy paid the loans and credit cards of his siblings and parents and then some less inspiring stories, like this one guy bought an expensive car and clothes and partied his money. Would YOU be an inspiration or desperation?

This is how I'd spend my money:

• New computer put together for me, J and both my kid sisters (that's €14 000)
• Canon EOS-1Ds Mark (for €2 500)
• A bike (replacing the one that was stolen in June for €2 000)
• Lasik surgery (for never needing to wear contact lenses again for €3 800)
• A monthly pay for myself of €3 500 for the next 50 years (for €2 100 000)
• 4-bedroom apartment of my dreams (for €1 010 000)
• My study loan, J's credit card bill and his car loan (€23 000)
• Renault Mégane Break 1.5 dCi 88 Authentique for my big sister K with 5 children (for €26 000)
• Toyota Prius HSD for my kid sisters M & T (for €62 000 combined)
• Toyota Prius HSD for J's brother (for €31 000 combined)
• Honda Civic Hybrid 1.4i CVT for myself (for €28 000)
• Honda Civic Hybrid 1.4i CVT for J's sister (for €28 000) (whom I hate)
• BMW 530d for J (with everything for €120 000)
• €250 a week for the next ten years plus a 1000 for christmas for my big sister K (because she couldn't handle money - for €140 000)
• €25 000 for J's brother (he just built a house and would probably need it)
• €250 a week for the rest of her life for J's mother (for about €140 000, she's 71 after all)
• €140 000 for each of my kid sisters (that's €280 000)
• €10 000 for each of K's kids (for €50 000) on a saving's account
• €10 000 for my kid sisters in case they have children (for €20 000) on a savings account
• A house for my big sister (for €290 000)
• A two-bedroom apartment for M (€185 000) in her home town
• A two-bedroom apartment for T (€189 000) in her home town
• For WWF (€150 000) Climate projects (€150 000)
• For UNICEF Climate Projects (€100 000)
• 90 WWF supported animal donations of €250 for me, M, J and T (for €90 000)
• Travel and shopping together with my friend L and J, M, T (for €100 000)

Did I already spend everything? :)

Next Year

When you're making your new years' resolutions, resolute this:

I Will Not Kill A Bee

We need bees. Really. Stop killing them.

Quantum of Solace & Great News!

I forgot, I was supposed to hype the new Bond film.

I loved it. I just loved it. Can't say much more. I loved every aspect, every twist and turn, especially the motor oil bit. There are some people who I'd like to give the same treatment. :) The car chase in the beginning, great, though I felt a wee sorry for the Aston Martin. I loved Olga Kurkova and her tan (how come the Ukranian women are so pretty? Like Milla and half of the supermodels). The locations, wow! The hotel where they stayed at with Strawberry Fields and Matis (?) guy was great looking in its white stone.

Was that really Tosca they were shooting at? It looked interesting. I might want to go see Tosca like that. I guess I have gotten old since I've grown a liking to some operas, like Lucia Di Lammermoor, The Medium, Faust (with Damnation, of course)...

This time it wasn't all about "No one can have eyes like that", but more like, "Why does a guy that ugly have such beautiful eyes.." :) Me and my shallow thoughts! I kept thinking what if those eyes were gifted to Jensen Ackles (whose own eyes are not bad either)... I have always loved the eye part in men and as I've grown older, I have grown to love exceptionally colored eyes.

The only thing I didn't like about the film was that I was sitting too front. I usually sit on the 5th row (of 13?), but this time there was just too much action and at times I felt a bit unease having my range of vision filled with action.

The really good news: WE GOT SNOW! Snow, people, snow, the white thing we didn't have last year... As a proof: The view from our kitchen window.

It's not much, I know, but after last year with no snow at all I find this more than refreshing. I'm pretty sure no one will whine this year, since I bet snow is what they'll enjoy instead of the slush we were so scared of.

Anyway, let's cross our fingers (or toes, heck, even arms) and hope to have many more snowy days . Please, Mother Nature, I ask of you. Give us more snow. Or at least keep this.

Holy Poo Bryan Adams Takes Good Photos

Check the Bryan Adams web site. I don't know what he says to those people, but they look at the camera in such a way...

I knew he is a photographer and was a photographer before he started taking his music seriously but I always thought he takes some black&white pics and that's it, but hey, Harry Belafonte! He's shot, like, everyone. I only wish I'd knew how he looks at Angelina Jolie through his lens. (He made Josh Groban look handsome)

Now, I have ALWAYS denied being a fan of anyone, but I have to confess I used to like Adams' music pretty much back in the early nineties, before I took a liking of electronic music. I did have a picture of him on my wall, but not for long. Does that count as being a fan?

If I was asked who'd I want to date, I guess it might be Bryan Adams. I'd ask him what he was thinking when he first had the idea of a melody to Star. Or did his heart start racing when he completed the chorus to Everything I do (I do it for you).

I'm sad his music just keeps repeating the same all through the year(s). Maybe he is better off photographing people. Sry.

An Open Letter To Josh Groban

Dear Josh,

The thing you did at the Emmy's...

It cracked me up. It was great! I had the best laugh for weeks! Anyone who said you shouldn't have done it are uptight cu*ts! You always sing these doo-do-loo-la-la-lovey-dovey -songs and that was a breath of clean air! You actually can sing other than pretty churchy songs too! Awesome! Amazing! I'm not a fan of yours, I don't even like more than two of your songs but your v-log gave me the impession you're not this pure little cute church-boy and I LIKE IT! A little bad boy in your image would do great!

I also think that you could ditch your eyeglasses to something more.. umm.. less gay. Check out the Police Eyewear, they'll look great on you. Try V 8270 for starters and fire your stylist for letting you wear those hideous Dame Edna things.

Also, I'm going to be stealing your song to make a Sims 2 video, hope you'll forgive me and not sue. Tell that to your label too.

What else..? Oh, right. I have never-ever-ever though of you as something more than the too-good-awkward neighbor boy type, but your late night kitchen blog made me think what kind of a kisser you are. Than I remembered how young you are and I realized I probably wouldn't get to try unless I became a Natalie Portman myself. Anyway.

Are you gay? I don't mind if you are, I just want to say that the womanhood is missing something in you. If you aren't, don't marry. Or at least do a prenup.

Here's the JG v-log embedded for you few readers:


Late Night Kitchen Time from Josh Groban on Vimeo.

They killed him!

Jim has been shot and survived. He looks at Melinda and waits for her to wake up after falling asleep next to Jim's hospital bed. When Melinda opens her eyes, they have a short conversation:

Jim: You're more beautiful every time I see you.
Melinda: You're awake! I love you.
Jim: Mel, there's a thing that happened. Umm... Uh, it's called an embolism - it's a technical term and you don't need to know about it.
Melinda: Let me go get you a doctor.
Jim: No, please. Just look at me, right here. Please look at me, right now. Look, look at me right here. I want you to remember me this way, please.

By this time Melinda understands there's something wrong, so she looks at the bed where Jim was sleeping when she fell asleep in the chair. His body is on the bed and the heart rate monitor now shows flatline. He's gone.

Jim: I'll always love you, Melinda
Melinda: No.
Jim: Always
Melinda: No, not you. Please, not you.

So, that's Ghost Whisperer for me. Killing Jim was the last episode I'll see.

Congrats, Barack Obama!

Since the start of the US presidential race, I've been saying that it should be a white woman before a black man (sry, I'm a racist). After seeing the white woman options I thought maybe a black man is what the USA needs. Because the black people are often summarised with the poor, I reckon a black president would be something for the poor and the needy.

The world thought this as a good thing. Most of the indexes went up and the markets ended up slightly up. Will Barack be the savior or end up screwing up worse than Bush?

Besides, Barack is not pure black. He had a white maternal grandmother?

Well, anyway, congrats mr Obama, I wish you a good time in the White House and a bunch of excellent decicions. I hope you'll be remembered as the president who turned USA to the right track rather than the "first black president".
