Mood: Pretty good.
Listening to: Red vs. Blue on Youtube… a very funny show made by Rooster Teeth. Check it out.

Speaking of Red vs. Blue.
I have been putting it off for ever because I’m not into the whole Halo thing, but the show is loads better than I thought it would be.
I decided to give it a try. I had already watched all their pod casts a few times, so I wanted something new. So I started with season 1 and watched it while I was knitting… and when I went to bed I was on season 5. And I’m continuing now. I did watch some of the episodes after I went to bed, but I lost a lot of the thread because I was reading “Hannibal” too.
But I do urge you to check out Red vs. Blue.
What else is new?  Nothing really. Annoying costumers are still annoying. Awesome costumers are still awesome. I worked every night last week and all day Saturday, so I’ve been pretty beat. Good thing Sundays are “relax and have a drink” day. We also ordered pizza yesterday. It’s HUGE! One of those huge pizza’s is enough for 4 people… now we have two pizza dinners in the freezer.
The pizza guy even gave me the pizza sour-cream dressing thingie for free.
I really don’t have anything exciting to tell. Been too busy working and stuff for cool things to have happened to me.
We did see “The Thing”, the new one, the other day… well, I came home from work and there it was… but it was already like 50 min into it and I want to see the whole thing. But now I can’t find it again… and THAT bug the shit out of me.
Yeah, I’m knitting a sweater. I’m working on the back piece and so far so good. I’ll post a picture of it when I’m done…. or something. It’s knitted with alpaca wool and it’s so soft! I can’t wait for it to be done. I’ll never freeze again.
But now I’ll have some chocolate milk.
If anything exciting happens, I’ll post it.

Mood: Pretty darn good.
Listening to: Lonely Island – Cool guys don’t look at Explosions (I didn’t even know this song existed until I heard it on Geekcounty’s Twitch channel when they were invaded by a guy with mad codes…. You had to be there. It was SO fucking funny).

So, a new year.
As always I don’t have any resolutions. I don’t believe in them. All I can do is be a better me, and that’s a life goal and not a resolution.
As for yesterday. It was a very quiet day. We didn’t have a huge party, partly because Jan had work in the morning and because we didn’t really feel like it. But I did make roasted duck. As far as I know it’s the first time. I think I made Peking duck once, or tried to… but I’m not sure.. I know, it’s weird to not remember food, but there you go. It was a smashing success. Even though I didn’t have molasses for the glaze I made due with the honey and other things that I had. I’m totally going to make it again. Jan suggested that we’d do a goose upcoming new year and why not. But for a goose I think we’ll need more people.
With the duck I served potatoes and a creamy mushroom sauce. It was mmm-m good.
And then there was the fireworks. We didn’t have any because we don’t want to waste money on it. Our neighbours spend loads, so we enjoy watching theirs instead. But last night was so foggy I could hardly see anything. And with the droopy weather we had I had more a feeling of WW3 than New Years Eve. Especially when the fog horn started to sound.

Anyway. I hope this new year is good to you and that whatever dreams and hopes you have will come true.

Mood: Fantabulous!
Listening to: Jordan and Mitch on Twitch playing League of Legends.

So, Christmas is well and truly over.. We’re waiting for New Years Eve with excitement, however I think it’ll be a quiet and rum filled day.
The Mayan Chalender ended on the 21st, and as you know there was speculation that things would not go well for the world. It seems, however, that people were out of their minds and the world didn’t end. No way…
Jan and I were waiting for 12.11 pm (that’s when it was supposed to end) and when it came around we were looking around and at each other, hoping something would happen. But nothing. We were kinda disappointed.
Any who. I’ve been working a lot lately, not used to it, so I was pretty tired when Christmas came around. Linda and I had a great time at work on the 24th, tho (Our Christmas eve when we open pressies and eat loads of food), and it’s become a tradition, it seems.  Jan was really sweet too. He made us smoked salmon and scrambled eggs sandwiches for us to enjoy. It was so delicious.
And then I made dinner. Dried lambs ribs which is re hydrated and then steamed. It’s an old recipe :p
Camilla and Espen were here too, which made it extra nice. And now we come to the pressies:
I got what I wanted from my parents and brother: Money.
From Camilla and Espen: a gift card (which is really great. It was from H&M’s and as far as I know they are the only one selling Hello Kitty socks and they also have those nice nail files I like… and nail polish).  And we got a gift basket with cider, jams and other preserves.
From Linda: A scarf which was really nice and Winnie the Poh socks.
From my boss: A lovely flower. Which is really bad because the poor thing won’t survive her.
From work: I wasn’t really supposed to get anything, but they sent one of these too many, so I got one anyway. A loudspeaker, rechargeable for iphone, ipod, mp3 android cells etc. It has a REALLY nice sound to it.. much better than the cheap crap I had.
From my aunt and uncle: A really swanky handcream and an pre anti-wrinkle cream.
Father in Law: a toaster (joined for both Jan and I).
From Jan: A really nice necklace with a peace sign.
From Jan’s coworker: A gift basket with cider, jams and other preserves.
I think that was about it.
And now I’ll continue enjoying myself and the great food I’m making.. and all the candy and goodness we have.

Be utterly excellent to each other! 😉

Mood: Good, but I’m sick, so pity meeeeee DX
Listening to: Some guy on Youtube making ghost videos with his friends. If he wasn’t a tutorial making guy of “how to make vids” and stuff it’d be a lot more believable. Gotta give him props for trying, tho.

So. I haven’t written in ages. I’ve been busy and lazy. I’ve also been to Kiel on a mini cruise with Jan. Of course we weren’t alone. Jan’s oldest sister came along with her two kids, Jan’s youngest brother came along with his partner and their daughter and her boyfriend, a friend of Jan’s who helped him with some stuff.. and he brought his wife, and a work buddy of Jan’s who brought along his wife and their daughter. Their daughter is just cute as a button, by the way. If I were to adopt anyone, it’d be her.
So we left on Saturday 8th of December, got to Oslo by train at around 11.35 or so. I hurried to the tourist office to visit Camilla and get the cheaper buss tickets for the buss to the boat. Before that, tho, I told them that they needed to go right to the buss platform…. keep this in mind…
I got the tickets and hurried to the buss platform. On the way I got a phone from Jan asking where I was. I said I was at the buss platform and where the hell they were. And he said “Oh, we’re going to the buss platform?”
So I had to guide them from wherever they were to where I was. They finally made it… and I was stressed. But we all got on the bus in time and got to the boat. Well on the boat we found our room and settled in, somewhat. We had a room at the very front of the ship with a view of the “King of the World” spot. So, I sat in the window as the boat left port and Jan went out on deck. After that we hit the first nice bar we could find. This was around 2:30 pm… and we kept it going till around 2.30 am. No, I wasn’t drunk. I wasn’t even tipsy. But I did have a great time.
The only down side to the trip was that all the stores in Kiel were closed because it was Sunday. There was a big ass shopping mall there which was open, but the stores in it were closed. So we wandered about for a bit and found the railway station… where there were some stores open, luckily. We also found a Pizza Hut where we had pizza. I also got to try out my German… I found out that I could fool the locals, but when they started responding in German I was stumped :p
But it was fun while it lasted.  We got back to the boat again and shopped and everything one usually does when one has access to duty free stuff. But we did see that a lot of the things there, although the packs of the things were larger, it has about the same price as in Sweden.  The only thing that is way cheaper in Germany is booze. I got three bottles of Captain Morgan “Spiced Gold” all brought into the country legally. Two bottles brought in by Jan and myself and one bottle brought in by Jan’s brother who didn’t bring in anything else.
But now I should start to get ready for work.
If I remember anything worth mentioning about the trip, I’ll do so when I remember.

Laters

Mood: Great!
Listening to: Well, I’m actually watching “Hoodwinked Too”.  Check this movie out. It’s hilarious!

Boy, have I had a relaxing day. The only strenous thing I did was to set the oven for when I made pizza for dinner. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I’ll do stuff tomorrow. I was busy watching people do stuff on Twitch.
Yesterday I got my DVD’s of V: The Complete Collection. I was thinking that when I’ve done what I need to tomorrow, I’ll make a marathon of it.. Unless I find out that there’s more stuff to watch on Twitch.  We’ll see what happens.
As for now… I want to have another drink, but I don’t want to run to the bathroom all night. It’s annoying that I’m well tired, and it’s only 8.20 pm. But there is nothing on TV and I’m bored. I’ll see what I can find online. Maybe I’ll find that Dark Tower wiki I found last night.
I’m sorry for not having anything of interest to tell you. Idk. Lemon, vodka and coke is an amazing mix. Try it out.

Mood: Meh
Listening to: July Crisis – Till I lost control.

I can’t really call them meh’s either. They are more *sighs* I think I need food, but I don’t have anything that I’d like to eat. I had scrambled eggs and bacon for breakfast, but I should have had some bread with it.. but we don’t have bread I like. I know.. first world problems.  But if the bread makes you ill or makes you feel like crap when you eat it, why eat it?
Right now I’m waiting for Jan to get home so we can take a trip to the store. I just hope he remembers. If not I’ll be a little pissed at him. The sucky part is that he leaves his mobil in the car and won’t hear it if I call. And he doesn’t check it regularly, so I have no way of knowing if he sees any texts I send him. Ugh, annoyance.
OK, meh level has been risen to a nod. Music helps. But only if it’s somewhat upbeat.
Oh, great. It’s raining again.
I had some visitors in my garden earlier today. Deer. Roe deer, to be exact. They were having a great time under my apple tree, munching fallen fruit. I can’t really start removing those now. I mean, I’ve been leaving the fallen fruit for so long, a lot of animals rely on those reserves during the winter.
And I’m back again. I didn’t get bread, because we didn’t go to the store where they have awesome bread… so I looked for bagles instead, and they didn’t have that either. So chocohugs it is.

Not the best thing for me, granted, but it’ll keep me till I start dinner. But these are delicious. One of my favorit snacks.
And now I really want bagles with cream cheese. But I’m making japanese curry today, another one of my favorits.
I should go get things ready for dinner. I have potatoes, carrots and onions to peal… and dice. This is going to be sooo good. I can’t wait =D
Mood gone from nod to perky.  Chocolate is AWESOME!!
