Arn the Amazing


I lost my heart in Holland. It rests with the super pirate Arn in a flat in Den Haag. He's a four year old boy who held my hand for an entire day and cried when I left. After visiting Amsterdam, the little boy from Den Haag is the memory which shines the brightest.

As usual I forgot to bring my camera, so unfortunately there's no pictures of anything but the clothes I wore when I left Norway. I am aware of how narsisistic this sounds. However, both Amsterdam and Den Haag were great, and though theres's not much to tell (it was a very short trip) I had a really good time. I plan to visit Amsterdam again, and experience more of the city than just the main streets. There are limits for what me and my sister dare to explore alone in the city without any form of guidance (we didn't even have a map). What I can say about Holland is that it is exactly how I imagined it to be, windmills, coffee shops, the strong smell of marihuana at the open streets and fuck loads of people.

Another travelin song

Tomorrow I leave for Amsterdam. I'm broke, and it's sort of a family trip, which to me is a little bit off, but I'm looking forward to it.
I'll probably tell you all about it on monday. Or whenever I feel like it.

Nur ich & ich & ich & Tinitus

Solitude.





I did it. I won't tell you what I did, but it's something I've been dreading for some time. And there's no relief at all, just panic, nausea and mild regret. No, I'm not in terrible pain, I just don't handle things very well at this hour. Most likely I'll feel better by the end of tomorrow, and before the week is through I'll probably even have found the upsides to this. I just have to go through all the bad feelings before anything good can come to mind.

The last November night


So the 30th of November I saw the wonderful Karin Dreijer of The Knife in her solo pjorect Fever Ray, and what a show! I could go on and on about how spectacular it was, but truth is you just have to experience it. The light show, the incense, the smoke, the costumes and the fantastic music... Oh my.

December

Though I had a series of horrible dreams this night (inclueding annoyance, heartbreak and zombies) I woke up today with the most fantastic feeling. First of December feels kind of magic. I feel like going on an adventure in the snow and drink hot cocoa in front of a fireplace. I don't have a fireplace, and I don't really want to go on adventures on my own, but I have descided to take a risk today, and whatever comes from that, I'll make this month an adventure anyway.

New Moon OST

Well I saw the film a week ago, and it was ok (I kinda liked it, but I wouldn't recomened it), but the soundtrack is haunting me. There's been a while since I first heard about the many great musicians who were making songs for this film, and frankly at the start I was thinking sellouts with a capital s. Thom York was one of them, and as he is a wellknown genious I was curious about his particulare song. Of course it was great, and somehow they made it work to drama true Stephenie Meyer style, but after I left the cinema it wasn't Thom York that really got to me. For some strange reason, the last week I've been humming Lykke Li tunes. I've never payed much attention to her, still Possibility is constantly playing in my head.



It surprises me that I'm actually saying this, but if you haven't already, please download New Moon's soundtrack. In addition to the previously mentioned mezmerizing songs, Grizzly Bear's Slow Life is close to bringing me to tears at least 2 times a day (well, they're featuring the lovely Legrand of Beach House, so go figure), and the rest isn't half bad either.
And don't tell me I'm lame until you've heard the damn thing!

Skin

Since I don't have anything else to do, I spend alot of time drawing while listening to music, especially naked people while listening to Fujiya and Miyagi.


The only one in color


The only one in pants


The second Bright Eyes inspired drawing


The third, but the only one with lyrics


The only one without a collarbone

The only one showing sign of nature
The only two with completely naked people smoking.
