like the violin

+ Yesterday morning I had an early breakfast date with Stina, a dear friend of mine that I first met in high school when I dated one of her best friends. :) She lives in Växjö now and we don't get to meet too often, so it was fabulous seeing her.

+ The boyfriend left yesterday morning. Not coming back until on Sunday. It's difficult being here, in this apartment that is not a home to me yet, without him. I'm feeling a little bit lost. I'm fine, but you know, it's just ... better with him.



+ Oh my gosh, I bought myself a new toy. I've been wanting one for months and I finally decided I want it bad enough :) It's a Canon Pixma iP4500 and just look what it can do! It makes me happy for real. The past few days I've been saying "oh, I'm tired, I have to print a photo or two". It works quite well as a treat. It just makes me childishly happy to watch as it prints my photos ... I know it's silly ... But it's fun! :)



+ Been into making collages with song lyrics on again, like I used to before. Before in that sentence would refer to high school, when I would spend late nights making mixtapes and drawing/ collaging the booklets. It's a great way of remembering what songs I really listened to. For some collages I just put my iPod on shuffle and use the first songs that came up (the one above quotes Kristofer Åström and Air), but I think I'm going to make a journal entry soon about some recent favs.

+ I saw P.S. I Love You last night and cried almost the whole way through. It felt wonderful. It happens (though rarely) that I cry when I watch movies, but only at sad endings or if they play very powerful music. During this one I cried more than I didn't and that's saying something - that it's a brilliant movie for when you need to cry a little. Recommended.

+ I'm not going to say anything about the Appalachian Spring concert except that I loved it. And I don't mean that in the American "I throw this word around when talking about anything I like a little" way, but in the Swedish way. Just so there are no misunderstandings.
