Today started out sloooow, like, really in slow motion. Then auntie G called mam and asked if we wanted to join them for a day in Vaasa. So we did! It was fun. I bought a pair of jeans, as I was on the hunt for a pair. Here you can see what they look like. I will wear them to the musical on Friday, I think...
Speaking of the musical. ONE WEEK TO GO!! *wiehoo* I so can´t wait!
I´ve only taken it easy... Vacuumed a bit, taken in a few barrells of wood
(in -25*C, thanks for that Mother Nature!)
Then I wrote 2 letters (Dani and Tasha) and...
Took a nap with Tara *hihi*
Woke up when mam had come home and was wondering why the house was pitch black ;-)
Then we had dinner, was delicious!
Then I watched some TV but decided it was nothing interesting on.
Now I will finish up here and then I´ll watch a movie > The Switch.
Ooh, guess what peeps!
I´ve decided to get a tattoo!
Exactly when it will happen, I don´t know, hopefully within the next few years.
You´ve probably guessed what my future tattoo will look like, right?
<----
Yup that´s correct.
It´s a Celticknot so I don´t have to explain more in detail why I´m getting it, huh?
*wink wink*
I thought so.
Here´s 2 photos of what the tattoos can look like when they´re done.
I haven´t quite figured out how I want the colours to be... The first one here looks great but then, I´m all about the colour green :) Then I´d also like to have some gold/bronze included, as those are 2 Irish colours (esp. when you look at the flag).
I´ll have to think about that.
Now I will watch that movie.
Take care darlings!
*mwoah*

Swedish ESC. 3rd Semi final. Linköping.
The FINALISTS are
Photo: svt.se Far left: Playtones; Far right: Eric Saade
ERIC SAADE
comment: Eric was totally worth it! He had the best song of the evening, the routine for his number was kickass awesome and of course he looked gorgeous!
You all know I love this lad!
Now, I´m not sure that the song itself, Popular, is better than Manboybut the number was really, really awesome! More... grown-up, if you get what I mean.
As Eric´s name also was the first be called out when the finalists would be announced, it meant he had got the most votes for the evening.
*wihuu*
I would show you his performance, but the rules in the Swedish ESC is that none of the finalists´ clips can be uploaded on sites like e.g. YouTube before the finale asthey maybedisqualified.
You´ll have to wait until after the finale...
Instead, I´ve posted some interviews. They´re in Swedish but... Just look at how happy & excited Eric is!
*lol*
The first video is the intro that came before Eric´s performance.
I´ll post the lyrics at the end of this entry.
The other finalist was Playtones. I don´t get it, I honestly don´t get it. Their song The King wasn´t even that good + the singer is horrible at pronouncing English! I got annoyed just by listening to it!
The band is a rockabilly/dance band.
Screw The Playtones!
Eric went straight to the GRAND FINALE on 12 March and to be honest, he´s my fave out of all the finalists so far.
So, yesterday I spent basically all day in Vaasa. I also met up with S, since we hadn´t seen each other in a while, getting to spend time together alone. We walked around the city centre with the 2 shopping malls and other shops + we went eating at a Chinese buffet. Yummy!
The only thing I wanted to get through the shopping spree, was a smaller, black purse. You know, the kind you can bring with you "out on the town" or, as in my case, bring to a musical. It costed 23 €.
At the same time I was in Vaasa, I decided to go and see a movie. I had to go on my own, though. S wasn´t that keen to come with me. She even said no to a Disney-movie haha. The Disney-movie was Tangled and YES I´m admitting I wanna see that particular movie thanks to two fabolous people who makes the Swedish voices for Rapunzel and Flynn BUT on the other hand, you can simply watch the trailer for the movie and you´ll know it will be good.
However, if I wanna see Tangled because of those who make the Swedish voices, I probably wanna see the Yogi Bear movie because of who does the voice for Boo Boo *LOL*You wanna take a guess?
You might´ve discovered which movie I did watch at the cinema. Burlesque! It was so great! Just my kind of movie - as you know how much I adore musicals, both theatrical and movie ones! Christina Aguilera was so great, I already knew she had the voice (amaaazing!) but she can act too! She was really great as the role of Ali. Some of the musical numbers in the movie are really, really awesome! The whole cast was amazing! Kristen Bell did awesome as the bitch/Ali´s enemy later to be friend Nikki, Eric Dane was the bad guy, Julianne Hough was the sweet/let´s be friends girl... Alan Cumming, Stanley Tucci and Cher are also great in their roles.
Picture from the iNet
Plus... There was that compulsary hot lad in it as well! Cam Gigandet! Oh my Lord...! He´s more than perfect for the role of Jack. He totally plays the good guy. I was honestly a bit surprised to see him like this in Burlesque, as I´ve only seen him as the bad guy in The O.C. (remember Volchock?) and Never Back Down, and of course the role of James in Twilight. In Twilight he was like... very, very vicious! He totally played the bad of the bad there!
Besides, Cam and Christina have amazing chemistry!
This picture you see here, is from my favourite scene of the whole movie! So hysterically funny!! Oh, did I mention that Cam is hooot in this particular scene? ;-)
I did say that the musical numbers in the movie are awesome, well... Here´s one of my faves! So funny!
Btw....
I put some new colour in my hair tonight, dunno if you can tell....
Anyways, my hair is so soft now! You know, the way it gets after getting coloured! I loove it!
Yesterday (as the last entry said) me and mami went to Vaasa for shopping.
The shopping was mainly for the supermarket but we found some stuff for ourselves as well.
I´ll be going to Vaasa again next week and then I´ll do some more shopping for me.
I need a smaller purse, probably in black.
I can´t come with my big baggy one to Göta Lejon, now can I ??
*hihi*
I´m also going to the cinemas then to see Burlesque.
I´m looking forward to it more and more, as everyone has told me that´s it´s a real great movie.
I have to give a shoutout to Tasha again for the nice comment on the "new" design on the blog. I have changed it now, and I like it. Let´s see how long ´til I´ll change it again, hehe!
Since it´s Friday...
Here´s a lil song to get y´all in the Weekend! *wohoo*-mood!
Danny was the first out of the 2 finalists to go straight to the Swedish ESC finale in Stockholm on 12 March.
When I first heard the song (30 seconds of it) I didn´t like it too much but then I heard it as its full + together with an AWESOME routine, I loved it!
Danny is also mega charming and super hot! *LOL*
^^ Another graphic I made a moment ago in Photoshop.
Hmm, I don´t know. But some ppl are obviously saying the movie
I AM NUMBER FOUR is somewhat of
a new TWILIGHT.
I don´t think so, mate!
Not likely.
The trailer (look above) looks... simply confusing.
But the cast look good: Alex Pettyfer and Dianna Agron (among others).
Alex also starrs in another movie I´d LOVE to see, BEASTLY.
And Dianna plays Quinn in GLEE and she´s awesome!
Since I started taking those IT classes at KKC, I got to borrow a laptop from there, so I could do the assignments and such. Anyways, on that laptop, Photoshop is installed.
*YAY*
So, last night I worked on a few graphics... starring Mr JT! *hihi*
When I woke up, my head felt real... groggy. Depends on me being dead tired, probably.
When mam came back from Malax (she went there for massage + foot massage) we started cleaning. Mam took care of downstairs and I took care of my room.
It was well needed, I can tell ya!
Then we went to Näsby, as mam had an appoitment at the hairdresser´s and other arrends to run. We also went to eat at pizzeria Casa and for once, I tried the kebab with fries. It was delicious but a huuuge portion, so I couldn´t finish it. It might also have had something to do with the extreeemley hot chili sauce.
Eh, only have myself to blame, I wanted the sauce so...
On our way home, Auntie B called mam (as she couldn´t get a hold of me as my mobile battery had died) and asked if I wanted to join her to F & T´s and keep her company while baby sitting little W.
Something I gladly did.
However, as charming as little W can be... She was a real toughie tonight.
Yikes!
Auntie B was struggling when it was time for the lil one to go to bed. But then, she turned like over night and she fell asleep on the spot.
Auntie B also told me that little W has got a lil cousin today (or if it was yesterday, I don´t know) as T´s sister has got a baby girl. It was the first I heard of it!
(1 av 2 hotties turning 30 during 2011 *lol* #2 being dmaSOUL!)
Lucky me, I have a poster with that ^^ picture... Oi! c(=
I would gladly call JT KING of POPbut I know very well that that title belongs to MJ, so therefor...
JT may PRINCE of POP in stead.
Do I have to tell you I adore this man? No, I thought so.
I admit, I haven´t always paid attention to what he´s been up to but I´ve never stopped liking him, no way!
He´s always been there, in one way or another.
I mean... Come on! What´s not to like!
He has the looks, the voice, the moves... The talent!
This may sound so cliché, but I´m gonna say it.
JT and especially his gorgeous music, has helped me through some rough times.
There´s one event I´m thinking about, that happened 5½ years ago...
Two songs that especially helped me after that event was NEVER AGAIN - still one of my absolute fave songs and the immortal JT classic... CRY ME A RIVER.
I also find those 2 songs to be my faves with JT, even without considering that tragic event...
Below, I have collected some favourite JT moments of mine. There are music videos, live performances and anon stuff.
A little heads up: The three last clips are not JT clips, there are more...
Other people, artists, performing with JT songs.
Some better than others...
Me and mami went to the examination party, stayed for about 2 hours.
My Gosh, they had made lots of food, delicious food.
For example, they had a Dolce Vita cake.
YUMMY!
I´m full, do I have to tell you that?
The present we got for Susanna got warmly appreciated.
We got a medicine cabinet for her, it was all white and really nice-looking. We had also put some medicines incide. Like pain killers, patches and oinment.
I forgot to take a photo of the cabinet BUT I can show you the card I "hand made". And with hand made I mean... Photoshop ;)
Angie tipped me about an Irish movie called Once. See the trailer below.
It looks really great, right?
Okay okay, I know what you´re thinking.
It´s an Irish movie, so of course you love it! which is correct but come on - it looks really, really good!
The music is gorgeous as well!
I will go and prepare some movie snacks now.
Have a nice weekend!

Heya peeps!
Look at the music video above! Pretty nice, huh? I think so! It´s Ola´s latest music video for his new single All over the World. I love the song, really, it´s gorgeous!
But at the end, during the close-ups, I thought I saw someone else than Ola. Someone I wouldn´t pair Ola with for one second. Maybe I saw a ghost! *uuh*
Today I´ve been a busy bee. Or... Well, kinda busy. Me and mami went to Näsby to find a present for a newly qualified nurse. Looked dark at first - at the first shop. Then we went to another shop and boom! there the present was. It´s a bit comical but useful. So I hope the nurse can see the comedy in it all.
This, my darlings, is the movie I´ll be seeing for Valentine´s.
Last year it was Valentine´s Day (ironic, I know) and this year it´s Burlesque.
You know I love musicals. Both on the screen and on the theathre.
Plus...
This lad´s in it!
*yummy*

Happy Saturday darlings!
I´ve just had a lil fancy dinner - delicious.
Oh, I also had to listen to Sven and his complainments on the Swedish Upper Secondary School. He basically said that everyone who´re going there, aren´t worth a cent.
So that means I´m not worth a cent!?
Pissed me off but I so wanted to tell him off but I just rolled my eyes and were like, 'Yeah yeah whatever...' I tried to explain that it was just as good as the more practical school but noooo...
Trash trash trash!
Broidi was on his side and I get that... But even mam was! Probably because she doesn´t have the guts to disagree with Sven.
Urgh, I hate the guy! Seriously, I wish he could just disappear out of our lives.
Seriously, I can NOT understand what mam sees in the guy. I sure can see what Sven sees in mam, though. Yeah sure... He gets free food every darn evening and I bet he takes some stuff from the supermarket as well. And mam´s behaviour around him... Yuk! She trips around him like a lil girl. Disgusting.
I can´t stand being here at home tonight. So I´m taking Nan with me and then we´re go to Auntie B´s.
* * * * *
Change of Subject.
I wanna give you lot a tip about a great blog. Swedish Stereo is its name and the name kinda gives away what it´s about. They basically writes about Swedish music and artists, a bit of Eurovision (both National and International) etc. Click --->HERE<---
Make sure you read it!
Have a good Saturday!
PS! I´m thinking about making the blog private again. Will tell you how I decide.

This song is so cute!
Beats yesterday when they played Incomplete (BSB) in the radio headphones while being in the forrest.
Sure, it´s a gorgeous song - probably BSBs best ever - but the way I was feeling yesterday... But a song like that, when I was feeling like that... Absolutly pulled me more into the black hole.
The reason why I haven´t written a new entry for a few days (or checked FB) is that we have no Internet at the house. DISASTER, I know!
So at the moment, I´m sitting at the supermarket. I should be doing something else, working in other words, but I had to write something here, to show I´m still alive - hihí.
Jeez I´m getting dramatic.
I have to tell you about my job-hunting.
I have found a job that could be, like, the dream job. I swear, it´s like made for me!
The Swedish Grammy takes place in the middle of January and one of the more honorable prizes to win, is Song of the Year.
Below is a list with the 10 nominees. Some of them are really great, some of them is questionable and... I´m missing atleast ONE song on the list ---> Listen to this ♪
I think it´s quite obvious who I´m cheering for ;)
Some of these I´d like to see win more than others *lol*
Mine was calm. I stayed home - alone. Well, I had the cats with me, but you get the picture.
This was the first New Year´s Eve since 2005/06 I spent at home. Back then, I had had a argument with S... Some of you may have heard about this but...
Someone very important - musically speaking - to me were coming to Helsinki in January 2006 and when I asked my mam if I could go, she said "Ask S" - back then she said that instead of a simple no. So, stupid as I was, I asked S if she would come with me and...
Of course she said no. And I got really, really pissed - you wouldn´t believe... I totally lashed out on her.
But honestly, I had a good reason to.
It´s years ago, but I still can´t believe I lost the one & only chance to see these extremely important persons... But S (or my mam for that part) couldn´t understand how badly I wanted to go - they don´t have that particular band they´ve been following for several years, they haven´t met amazing people through that band, that band hasn´t helped them through some of life´s most horrible moments.
They couldn´t possible understand how hearbroken I was when I wasn´t able to go.
I could´ve simply stood up to mam and gone anyways, but back then I relied on her acceptance.
It also backfired on me. Bigtime.
Anyways. What done is done.
That whole experience made me understand I shouldn´t rely on anyone anymore when it comes to events like this. Nowadays I simply tell mam I´m going here or there, she and he are coming with me etc etc. I´m not asking for permission, but I´m letting her know what´s happening.
Right now I´m watching a movie, Love Happens. Mam´s Christmas present.
Starring Aaron Eckhart and Jennifer Aniston.
It´s quite good, to be honest.
My brother is going back to the Army tonight. He´s coming back home on Friday and that will be it. No more Army for him.
Shakespeare meets Metallica. Schlager-Mans is convincing as the passionate lovers of the world's most famous love story.
The musical flashes as a New Year's fireworks.
Sometimes it will be for fun. But first of all pleasures.
For you will be glad of this set. History är Shakespeares tragedy from the 1590s, but when it's time for song number, it is a bold mix of rock, disco, evergreens and pop.
It makes me happy dance numbers, which oscillate between phenomenal and briljanta. Jennie Widegren and Frederick Rydman from Bounce has the agile and acrobatic choreography.
Sings excellent
You will be glad to set design. Here's a forest that grows well in the salon and draperies and other used innovative and playful.
You will be glad of the actors. Måns Zelmerlöw singing of course excellent, but he works too well in game scenes. Although the heavy second act and the final, where it comes to getting the pain and sorrow will be heard in silence.
Lisette Pagler is Julia and got the part through the controversial audition series of SVT. She is a confident musical performer who can handle her lead role very well.
Veterans deliver
And talented veterans. Ace of Loa FalkmanMarianne Morck and is very good, and when Falkman kicks it in Tom Jones classics "Help Yourself" in Swedish, it is pure luck.
But he who steals scene after scene is Anton Lundqvist, who plays Romeo's friend Mercutio. A skilled comedian who is also a song-and-dancer, and at times dominates the first act.
He and Marianne Morck is the comedic elements.
And Geez what they are comical.
It's as if director Morgan Alling is a little afraid of the seriousness of "Romeo and Juliet". In the first act there are many scenes where there must be kidding. Songs that keep the action rather than to pursue it further.
Well, fun composition picked up by Mercutio in Kiss "I was made for lovin'you" - but it does not add any document.
Mercutio long poem about the dream Queen Mab is from Shakespeare.
Reply, "talk about maximum oflyt" is perhaps more translator Calle Norlén.
As it should be
Here's inspired track selection, as the Beach Boys' Good only knows "a groovy love duet.
All Shakespeare-sets which can get the riff from the White Stripes' Seven Nation Army "is worthy of applause.
Finally is the love story tragic and painful as it should be. On the way there has been a very entertaining song and dance show.
--- Jens Peterson
INNOVATIVE set design in the musical, which includes a forest that grows well in the salon, is innovative and playful.
