Populärmusik från Svedala.
Got to work out what its famous for..while I´m here;)
Greetings from Sweden!

I think this is going to be a great year.

This band played in Lund last year:

The Sounds - Painted by Numbers



Robyn - Be mine
(she seems to have gone from ´show me love´ to total hip hop konichiwa bitch.. I like her)



Robyn - Show me love



Robyn live (my favorite)

Oh god..at this moment I feel like the grumpy old neighbour in the pyjamapants (I´m not grumpy yet though).. I´m suppose to wake up in 6 hours for a 5-hour-exam at school and my dear Carl next door to ours has turned his room into Studio 54!! They are screaming to Gloria Estefan at the moment....!!!! Aaaah!

Death to Disco.

Always when I go to the library I´m always surprised I don´t go to the library more often. I mean, the place is a goldmine. Books, MUSIC you name it. And with another max-limit of CDs my day is so far great.

Crazy behaviour? The girls in our house have decided to go to the sauna and later on jump into the Sound (Öresund, between Denmark&Sweden). Did I mention that its snowing and freezing over these days. BURR. (photo taken from our window)

With a coffee and these Sugarcubes I go back to study. Most amazing female singer,
Björk Guðmundsdóttir.
Sugarcubes - Birthday

Til hammara Tinna og Ísland!!

Mark Knopfler - What it is

If someone hands you the entire "Sex and the City" collection.. you don´t have a life anymore.
Charlotte: Is it safe to buy pot from strangers?
Carrie: They're not strangers. They're our new friends with pot.

Happy 2007!
Hope everyone had a good holiday!
Now I´m back in Lund, back in school. Would have been perfect to do nothing for a few days..cause christmasbreak was fulle rulle. Had a great time in snowy Iceland meeting the girls (and their boyfriends), more friends and family. Trivial Pursuit, Actionary, Fimbulfamb (a christmastradition). Jumping from one familydinner to the next with reading, christmas and friends in between. 101 Reykjavík´s finest coffeeculture. Lovely.

The 29th I recall going to a classreunion. I´m so disapointed with myself for erasing totally out of my highschoolmemory how leathal the boys´s punch is. I have several times gotten completely sick of this punch and should have been warned. But no.

Flying 4 hours to Germany the next day was not a blast. And driving through Austria and the mountains neither. Memo to self. Italy had never looked better. There I was with family, 3rd time in Selva Val Gardena, skiing in the tyrol Dolomiti mountains. Full week of nothing but skiing..great!
Last day we made our way back through Austria and visited a fairytale castle in Füssen, Germany. Neuswanstein where king Ludwig II lived for a short period of time. Disney took its inspiration from this castle.

Röyksopp - Eple (Fatboy Slim mix)

Merry Christmas! ! !

Best to start with a swedish joke:

Två muffins i en ugn och den ena säger "Fan vad varmt det är här inne!!"
Den andra bara " AAAHHH, en talande muffins!!"

The days these days fly by.. where I´m sunken deeply in my economy trance. Lord this is boring she said. Last exam for 2006 is in 2 days.
This weekend there was another wineboxcelebration in our house. Julfest, they said. Housemate-Christmas-Party. Another occasion to clean out the housebar..

Yes, the first time in my life I have something asimulated with a bar. At home. A home-bar. But it is not my fault..Visitors just leave things in our hands. Unattended. And Marlous´s hotelguests leave behind litterally all, from A-Ö, sorts of beverages (I guess that is why we are stuck with Strawberry champagne and Jack Daniels) Any takers?

So without direction we were blindly lead to Göteborgs-Nation, which the word on the streets is code for “Brats&Bimbos”..That turned out to be true.
We LOVED it! It was such a bad place that you couldn´t resist falling in love with the arobic-music-dancefloor where we all sadly Pumped-It. The “it” being everything from Call on me to Boten Anna.
Magic or tragic?

Coming home in 3 days!
White Christmas?

Til hamingju með afmælið Katrín!:)

Deep Purple -Hush

Það er komið jólaskap hér á bæ!

ohoj!
Edith Piaf - La Vie En Rose

Everybody hates Chris
I am totally head over heels in love with this show..

Chris: This is my mother Rochelle..she has a hundred recipies for wooping ass!


I´m will knock you into another family!
I´ll slap your name out of the phonebook!
I will knock you into last night!
..Or I will slap the nails off your toes!
I´m gonna put my foot so far up your behind you´ll have toes for teeth!

And that look meant "there's a slap over here if you want it."

Pick this crap up before I slap the shine off your head!

Tonya: Mom, where's Chris?
Rochelle: His bike got stolen. I told him not to let anybody ride it. So I smacked him into next week. He'll be back on Tuesday.

Moloko - Sing It Back

Thought I might throw in some photos of the last couple of days since I should be doing something else. Liesbet and her friend Karen were here for a visit!! So nice to have them here and show them around.. the weekend just flew by. Way to short! Friday party at home with homemade Salmiakki and "potluck"dinner which could feed a whole army..we are still eating it. Out dancing in Malmö and a 30 minute puke-ride (bus w/puke) home..jahk!

When we woke up on saturday it was already dark again (I still wonder if there was ever sun that day...welcome to the north!) and we crawled over to Denmark sightseeing.

The whole trip was sponsored by Jule Tuborg!!

Finley Quaye&William Orbit - Dice

This hasn´t really been a productive day so far.. I don´t know what to tell you except declare my hate over a thing called karaoke.. I just don´t understand.
Last night I worked again w/Karin behind the bar and this night attracted some of the most annoying people I´ve had the privilage to meet. Once someone takes their pants and/or shirt off during an already horrible karaokesession they have reached my limits..but don´t worry, I just went and made more coffee.

Next week we´re getting visitors!!:) Liesbet and her friend Karen from Belgium are flying in! And there is already scheduled another houseparty on friday.
I could have been in Belgium w/Marlous right now but no..I decided to stay in Lund studying! why!?!
Time to continue my exciting day right now. Salut!

The swedish music corner:

Nanne Grönvall - Håll om mig



Darin - Step up



Alcazar



Timbuktu - Stirra ner

What to do what to do...decisions, decisions.
Waiting for snow, candels, glöggi, christmaslights and the danish JuleTIVOLI to open...and I´m waiting for something which I don´t know what is yet. Waiting for holiday and brainlessness.

I have a christmasflight home: 21 december!
Dear Santa, put my love in my suitcase. And worldpeace.

Laleh - Live Tomorrow

Only two days left of my pyjamapants-season..when you roll out of bed only to put on the coffeemachine. Snooze for 5 minutes and roll out again to study. All the life-long day...Can´t wait for freedom!!
My brother Atli just arrived to the area! (Copenhagen) Can´t wait to see him... and I´m assuming that all of my friends from home will arrive at the airport as well:) At least Sandra!
Helduru ekki að ég sjái í gegnum "skólinn er að kæfa mig og ég er formaður stúdentafélagsins..halla malla"..þetta er ódýrt!

It´s MTV-madness here!! The Music Awards across the street!!

Ryan Adams - Wonderwall

Seb, every song makes me think of times which often didn´t seem so funny at the time.. Like escaping to the next town singing "I´m a MILLIONAIRE! I have all this money and you have to help me spreading it around!..Money, money, money..":) after shit paychecks. And NO money. Honey.
I should have been a Lumberjack. Then I´d be ok.
I almost threw my book at the radio hearing that Beatles-song. Oh George. Rock Hallelujah. Didn´t know whether to laugh or cry. I looked up, what did I see...SEXY EYES! Then I actually came to the point of crying...SEXY EYES! God knows I wanted to break free. Listening to more made me realize that I was now all by myself..The Little Fella (M) couldn´t take more. Girls. In the morning it´s girls cause in the evening it´s girls. Back in the day. Disco, discoduck. Try your luck, don´t be a duck.
when you're out there
Without care, it´s mint in my cup,
Yes I am getting crazy, probably, Yes just like you.
Reading you mail was. Rock Hallelujah.
when I grow up and you´ll be a Little Fella, there will come a day where there will be no more Tori Amos and everyone has to do what I say. Even you. So take the starter-cutlery. And breadbasket. Don´t eat it. We just crusify ourselves. We should have become Lumberjacks.
Je cherche une âme, qui Pourra m'aider Je suis D'une génération désenchantée, Désenchantée. You know.

Turn around, Seb we´ll be Brothers in Arms and deal the cards in the shape of our hearts:*
Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit sad that you´re never coming around. Talk. En tete a tete. Listening music. Drink. Boring. Napkins.
Ramalama I miss you Bang Bang

HA HA HA.. bless your soul

Look! I´m a millionaire!



Dr.Hook - Millionaire

Takk takk fyrir allar kveðjur, kort og símtöl á afmælisdaginn:) Úff farin að hlakka soldið til jólanna!

Thank you for all the nice messages&cards&phonecalls on my birthday, made me really happy:)
I had a great friday with marlous and in the evening a very good houseparty, followed by a night of dancing Cuba Salsa at Mejeriet. You could feel the sweatty dirty dancing atmosphere and some couples there were somewhat more than regulars..it was their turf and they let everyone else know it. It was the first time, outside the movies, that I saw someone recieve a businesscard and placing it in their bra. Great birthday!

Björk - Joga (live)

How bad is the studying going if you are doing THIS instead?!?...

Soggy Bottom Boys - I am a man of constant sorrow

IKEA is so sneaky.
If you buy a bed you´re not expecting questions like "what kind of legs would you like?"... aren´t they a part of the bed? It´s like buying a car and they sell you the stearing wheel seperately. Sneaky.

What I´m doing these days is this: groupwork about Hennes&Mauritz.. Ask me anything!

News from our home..M and I just invested in a great coffeemachine!
