Rome

Rome was nice. The weather could have been better (but hey, Sweden was even worse last weekend). Two umbrellas was blown to pieces and my feet were wet several times. Oh well...

Lots of walking, pizzas, pasta, ice cream, cappuchinos, some shopping, a visit to the modern museum (which was lovely, I strongly recommend a visit if you happen to pass Rome), and some nice street art.

Thanks mamma for a nice weekend and lots of fresh impressions and new inspiration!

I'm off...

What to do when this is what you see outside your window?

Treat yourself to the yummiest soya latte in town at Café Edenborgs and have a long fika with Mic.

Buy yourself daffodils to brighten your day.

Then go off to Rome for the weekend. Happy Easter!

confusion & disappointment

This sucks! Ice & snow on the green spring buds :(

Just when I thought spring was finally about to come winter came back... Or rather winter came. (winter has been so mild around here)

Hello global warming! Goodbye global warming!

Luckily I'm leaving for Rome early Friday morning...

all the songs on B

Tonight was a good night. Yummy spontaneous dinner (salmon with pesto, sallad with apples, frozen summer vegetables and some leftover red wine which used to be delicious) and crafting/preparation/childhood nostalgia trip/contemplation and listering to all the songs on B with Micaela.

My hand (not so newly painted nails, but that's the way I like them) with the plastic beads.

Mic right before leaving (very newly and hurriedly painted nails)

The masterpiece of the evening. So much fun for such a long time. And what a poor result! :) Can you tell it's a camel?

Artists on B in my laptop: Badly Drawn Boy, Beach Boys, Beachwood Sparks, Beck, Beatles, Belle and Sebastian, Björk, Black Cat White Cat (the soundtrack), Black Dice, Blondie, Bo Kaspers Orkester, Bob Hund, Bonnie Sommerville, Bright Eyes.

three free days

Constitutional law is over. The easiest eight weeks of four and a half years of law studies. And they ended with three hours that was all but easy... But it's over. Now I'm looking forward to three days in total freedom. And small rewards, such as a red spring coat, beer and a visit to ikea. I refuse to look back on three lousy hours. I'm off!

lillasyster is a genuis!

I've mentioned it before, but I gotta remind you: my lillasyster is a master of painting! (sorry about the crappy photo, the light is not the best half past nine in my parents' kitchen)

Today she came home with this. It's for her application for art school (high school/college), the theme was "animal in strange environment" or something like that. It's Plattan/Sergels Torg, a public square in Stockholm city (it's classic, and gorgeous if you ask me - please Mikael Söderlund don't continue ruining it!).

Psst, Ellen, if you read this: I want this painting on my wall... badly! I can only offer what's left of my student loan at the end of the month, which is likely to be about 50 kronor... I know it's worth at least 50 000 kronor. But hey, at least you have your storasyster's love and admiration. Pleeease, Ellen!

How I wish I could paint, or at least draw. But alas, I can't. This is about as far as my artistic ambitions reach: (unless you count street art that is)

This happens to my nails every single lecture. Today the nail face was smiling though (but yesterday's lecture was a rarity in terms of extreme boringness and irrelevance).

Exam in constitutional law is in one week. All work and no play makes Lina a dull girl (according to Carina). I say that it makes Lina go crazy. All tentaplugg and no öl gör mig korkad... och kanske lite grinig.

gorgeous soda

My little sister drank this passion fruit soda last weekend. I love the retro feeling of the etiquette. It even makes me consider to start drinking soda. Especially since Friday night and Saturday morning (head, stomach, body & soul, ouch ouch ouch).
