A New Year, A New Beginning (part 2)

Hi again,

This post is going to be a bit shorter than part one, as I only have a few pictures for this one.
First of all, the weather outside right now is windy and there's a bit of snow on the ground, and there's been a lot of snow a few times this winter, so the pictures I'm about to show are somewhat out of place. But don't worry, I'll get to the more appropriate pictures of snow and such eventually, but that'll be a much longer post, so you'll have to wait for that.

Anyhow, here are the pics. I just wanted to show you what the neighbourhood here looks like, both from up-close and from far away. Hope you like the pictures!


This is a photo of the neighbourhood from kind of far away. It's the tall, white buildings I live in.



This is a more up-front photo of it all.



And last, a picture taken from the roof, of the roof.


Oh, and I mentioned before that Zack and Miri Make a Porno would premiere here on Jauary 9th, and here's the poster up in the cinemas. I'm glad to see that we have the original poster, and not the "censored" one.
Now I've actually seen it, but I saw it back on Åland since it premiered on December 30th there (praise Åland). But since I saw it in the cinema back home, which have kind of a bad sound and picture, and swedish subtitles made by a finnish person (just plain horrible, I wish they would just remove them), it wasn't exactly the perfect way to watch it. That's why I'm going again tomorrow, to see it more as it was meant to be seen. But don't take this as though I'm unsure of what I think of the movie, because I love the movie. It's awesome. Thank you Kevin Smith, thank you so much (and Mos' too).

Once again, cheers, and see you in part three! (coming January 2009, to a computer near you, snoogans).

A New Year, A New Beginning

Hello everyone,
It's been a while since my last post, and for that I lack a good excuse. I've just had too much else on my mind, like school for instance. But also, the simple fact that I'm lazy has prohibited me from having the energy to write here. But now, as it is a new year, I've decided to try to be more serious with this little project. I think it's fun to do this, so I shouldn't be so lazy about it. But anyhow, enough about that, we'll just have to wait and see how frequently I update this blog of mine.
Well, since my last post, nothing major has happened. It is now January 11th of 2009, and I have the whole week of, since last year's last examination was on friday the 9th, and school starts again on the 19th. Nice.This post is probably going to be rather long, because I'm planning to upload a bunch of pictures, but hopefully it'll be somewhat interesting.
I'll start of with something I planned to write here ages ago, but just forgot. Last november, I took my vinylplayer and all my recordss here to Uppsala, and the reason I did that was because I found this great little basement-shop specializing in vinyls, and he had so many good ones in really great condition, so I just had to buy some. Here are pictures of them all:

First of, Fats Domino. I bought this because I'd seen the movie Be Kind Rewind a few days before.



Michael Jackson - Thriller. This one you just have to own.



T-Rex - Greatest Hits. I bought this one because I love his song "Jeepster" (which is in the movie Death Proof).

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon. You don't have to have a reason to buy this, it's as simple a decision as breathing.
More Floyd, this time the amazing Wish You Were Here.
And even more; The Wall.
When I found these two next records, my degree of joy rocketed skywards. The frickin' Doors!

Well, these were all the ones I bought. I've listened to them a bunch, and I love them (which I did before I bought them as well, but still..).
I think I'm going to split this post up in several parts actually, which makes it easier to deal with the pictures (BlogSpot.com isn't actually that great when it comes to upload a lot of pictures). I hope you'll find these posts fun, and not just pointless-writing-to-no-one-from-no-one-on-the-Internet.
Cheers!
