Beach :)

Toni came to visit me on Wednesday and stayed until Sunday. I had a great time with him, as I always do. Now that he's gone I feel so lonely, as I always do. But ofc we did have time to do stuff :)

On Thursday we took a trip to Malmö. We went by the Sci-Fi Bookstore and I got myself two new Abercrombie-books (Best Served Cold and Heroes), The Hunger Games and the first season of Sherlock on DVD. After that we had some time to kill so we took a walk down by the beach. I walked around in the water for some time, but Toni stayed on the beach :P After some time we walked back to the city to go to the cinema. We saw The Dark Knight Rises and it was just as awesome as everyone says. That's the third superhero movie we've seen together: The Avengers, The Amazing Spider-Man, The Dark Knight Rises. Some pictures from the day:

On Friday I had to work so Toni stayed at home gaming all day and I spent the day wishing I could go home. When I got home I had pizza waiting for me, and cuddles ofc ;) Great end to an otherwise quite tough and boring day. My dad got the idea that we should try and sell madkaps this year. Yeah, right. Love and I had them on for some time and then gave up when people started walking around the stand and not making contact.

On Saturday we didn't really have anything planned. But we took a trip to the festival. It was 30 degrees outside and terribly sunny. After a walk through the festival, some nachos and some churros, we decided to go back to the beach we had been at on Thursday. None of us had thought of going there beforehand so ofc we didn't have any swimwear or towels. But we walked around in the water for some time, Toni too this time around :) And got to watch the sunset :D  Some pictures from the day:

On Sunday Toni dyed my hair. That was long overdue. I promise a picture on Sunday at the very latest :) Spent the rest of the day gaming. Toni tried the original Rayman on a GBA for my DS, while I tried out the expansion pack for The Sims Medieval that I just had discovered (yes, I'm slow with these things). I walked Toni to the station in the sweltering heat and left the station with that big empty hole that comes every time he leaves or I leave him. The rest of the evening I spent gaming.

Today I've been keeping myself somewhat busy. I got up relatively early, cleaned up a bit, rehearsed some Japanese and played the game for some hours. Well spent day according to me.

The First Law, work, Harry Potter and Alice Cooper

Alright, so I don't really know what to do with this post. But I bet it'll turn into something... Probably something random.

Finished reading "Before They Are Hanged" by Joe Abercrombie last week and continued with the third and last book in the series: "Last Argument of Kings". I have already read half of it. The series is great. There are a lot of things happening that you did not see coming in the beginning, but he starts giving hints just before it's about to happen and in that way I start guessing what's going to happen and I get really pleased with myself for guessing the right thing :P Probably exactly the way it was intended to. I'll definately buy more of his books. I think there are two stand-alone novels he's written too.

I've had two days off this past week and I'm so very tired. Feels like I'm working full-time during my summer vacation and it's way tougher than studying full-time... How will I survive employment after graduation? xD

I went crazy today btw and pre-ordered Harry Potter Wizard's Collection...

I'm kind of sad that I will miss the Alice Cooper concert in Gothenburg this Wednesday. I work Thursday morning and I was planning on taking the train to Gothenburg and arrive in the afternoon, see his show, then take a night train back home and still be in time for work. Well, guess what. Last train from Gothenburg leaves 8.40pm and the frist train in the morning departs 5.40am and arrives 20 minutes before my work starts. No way I'd make that in time. Why no night trains? Cause it's a friggin weekday. Thanks a lot. My dad got the idea that I'd check the flights too. But a flight return ticket arriving at an appropriate hour cost over 4 times the return train ticket. Awesome. I do love Cooper, but it's not worth it. I guess I just have to wait 'til next time. And hopefully there'll be a next time. Too many old rockers are dying these days. At least I've seen him once

I can't wait 'til it's October! I want to move into my new flat! I'm so excited about it!
