the sisterhood of john tucker

tobi came over and let us turn him into a girl for an evening.
we improvised a slumber party with a midnight dinner (asian rice… with squash, mango, cashew nuts) – after which we piled up mattresses, pillows, a blanket on ana’s floor and settled down to watch silly movie #1 (John Tucker Must Die) and silly movie #2 ( The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants).

can’t believe that today is friday!
apart from the fact that I got a billion things done today – I am proud to announce that, as I have finally registered at the local police station, brought in all the papers, photos, passport,… I am not an illegal immigrant anymore – this evening really felt like a sunday.. so knowing I have a whole weekend ahead of me (also considering I’ve got to read Twelfth Night by tuesday – go, Shakespeare, go, go!) was kind of a relief.

Still no sign of my Murder Mystery merch – the evil norwegian postal service strikes back..let’s just hope for the best!

21 and invincible.

I feel I have to comment on this really day I had … tuesday..
it was totally amazing because the day was so incredibly sunny. the leaves were so yellow and the sky so blue that it seemed like a photoshopped landscape (as proven here). In the morning it was nicely cold – the grass was shining with dew.

I went to the public library – which is one of my favorite places in Bergen – to return my book, then I went to the record store and bought this, which made me happy. Just because.

I hung out with a bunch of cats by the church, met Ana and Stefan for lunch and then tried to find a pair of jeans for an acceptable price. yes, because I don’t know if holes in my jeans right at the crotch are a good idea…

so here are my Fretex-findings


a bee sweater!


jeans!

of course my day wouldn’t have been perfect without this:


someone’s gonna be making muffins soon…..

Eurotrip.

This is a really awful movie.
It does help to cheer you up though, when things are a little awkward or not so great. I watched it tonight with my wonderful flatmate Ana and we laughed at every silly little joke :)
(Borat was our original pick… I guess that’s for next time.)

things to look forward to this week:

  • (almost) NO CLASSES
  • special phone calls :)
  • I’m making cinnamon rolls!
  • dinner with stefan and ana tomorrow
  • getting new books from the public library.
  • The Murder Mystery EP+ shirt being shipped to my doorstep
  • getting that new phone number thing sorted out, seriously

last nite (she said, oh baby I feel so down)

fantastic.
I went to see Kings of Convenience at Hulen (there’s a review and a few photos here) and I got my picture taken with the guy who accompanied them on the bass, not because I am a celebrity person, but simply because he was making the funniest faces in the world so Essie and I laughed the whole gig through.


he looks like a psycho!

on our way back we saw the cutest hedgehog in the WORLD. at first the girls thought it was a rat, until I said,
wait, it’s a little too slow to be a rat

I rushed towards it to take a picture and I wanted to take it home SO bad.


why doesn’t everyone look like a hedgehog? the world would be a better place

oh and here’s a picture of my first ever club stamp in Norway.
celebration.

Saturday night we celebrated baby-Etienne’s birthday.
we got him an awesome balloon that Hiroki couldn’t help but start playing with straight away. (I think his biggest dream is to join Cirque du Soleil.)


on the other side, it reads “I [heart] Étienne” but people seemed to enjoy playing with the Porno side more.

After dinner, Étienne got his presents. For the unwrapping ceremony, he was handed the magnificent “polka dot birthday shirt”.


for a suicidal Étienne
