Quite uninteresting but sometimes funny…

Had btw a visit from British Gas yesterday, for a meter reading. Unfortunately the guy decided to turn up at 9.30 in the morning while I was still in bed so I got up with my hair sticking out from my head in weird angles and only put on a robe. The guy looked a bit surprised to see me like that and afterwards I looked in the miror realising I looked like a crackhead. The whole thing remined me of a similar thing that happened when I lived in Stockholm.

Back in the day I lived with a guy named Tor and one of my best friends Frida who happened to be Tors girlfriend as well. Anyway, cut a long story short, the people owning the house we lived in sent around a guy to look at all ovens in all the flats to see if they where up to a certain standard etc. We had gotten a note about this but I had totally forgotten about it. So that morning Tor went off to work while Frida and I stayed in. When the doorbell went off I was still asleep (had been out drinking the night before…) so I didnt know who it was and all i could find to put on was a minimal towel. It was so tiny that if i would have bent over just two centimeters, anyone watching would have seen my…well you get the idea. So anyway, i opened the door and the first thing that the guy (he was around 25 maybe) says is “dra på trissor!” which is like saying “jeez lousie” or similar. About that time Frida yelled “who is it honey” and came out in the hallway wearing only a duvet. Needless to say the guy was quiet for quite some time before he started talking about gas ovens, haha! It only got worse when he realised that there was a guy living there as well with two girls apparently walking around naked in the middle of the day. Aw, he was sweet!

Ah, the memories!

So yesterday me and AJ where about to celebrate my new unemployment by going out for a meal for the very last time in a long, long time. So as usual we went to Tootsies in Putney with their marinated prawns in mind but then it turnes out that they have closed. FOREVER! The place was up for sale and everything! I know that its another one of my luxury problems, but I HAVE to have those prawns again! I have heard a rumor that there is other Tootsies out there, so will look them up today!

Anyway so we ended up at “The Real Greek” on Putney Highstreet and it was pure shit! Their prawns tasted like rubber and slightly of meat. Then I realised that I must have grilled the prawns on the same grill that they use for meat. Not good. And the souvlaki! Jeez! It came in a wrap with paper around it, and tasted shit. We could have gotten a better (and cheaper) meal at KFC across the street goddamnit! So afterward we went to Carluccios just to get some nice food in us.

Anyway got very very drunk on one bottle of champagne and one bottle of wine and had a rather pleasant evening after the greek eek.

Tomorrows Halloween and I still havent decided if I should go to Al’s party or the Tarantino one. Everyone keeps telling me that I should go for the Tarantino one, but right now I rather think I’ll go to Al’s instead. Even if it is in Hackney (jeez Al, could you live further away??). On sunday Im going to one of thos “get to know your boyfriend’s family”-dinners…that should be interesting…

This hasnt been one of my best posts, I have to admit. I just want to ad one more thing, Bodil and Stringis, PLEASE come here now! Miss you both, you crazy ass motherfuckers! And I say that with love!

Cheerio

Fuck it, Im invited to Al’s Halloween party to which I promised I would go, but apparently I had already said yes to another party that night as well. And that’s not just any Halloween party, its a Tarantino party and everyone as to dress up as a Tarantino character. Apparently the whole event will be open until 6am, and its way closer to home AND Idont have go go alone to that one…but I would really like to go to Al’s party as well…hm…this requires a long think over. Well until Saturday anyway.

Have today bought very nice dress which I cant afford and some cool table lamps. You touch the lamp foot and the the light goes on, touch it again and the light gets brighter, touch it again and it gets even brighter and touch it the fourth time and the light goes off. Have been playing with it since I got home. I might be high.

Met up with IL anyway which was a bright moment of my otherwise very dull day (vaccuming anyone?). We talked about everything and nothing, ah dear IL! My dear friend!

Now I have the latest copy of heat waiting for me. See ya tmrw!

This weekend has been spent in a haze. Firstly AJ was off work on Friday so we made sure to spend the evening in. On saturday we had to gas the bedroom and livingroom for bugs. We hadnt seen any in a while and never in the livingroom, but Im paranoid when it comes to bugs and I rather gas one time too much than too little. So we hung out in the diningroom where I fell asleep on the floor for 3 hours. Dont ask me how. I have stayed up til 5 in the morning every night since thursday and i have been drinking wine again. Lots. Plus (I’ll admit) have been watching some Midsomer Murders as well…Inspector Barnaby, grrr! Haha, totally an old ladies crush!

Anyway after losing my job I have lost concept of time. I know today is monday, but only because AJ was home yesterday and at work today. I shud be good like this summer when I was unemployed and got up at 9.30 every day not to make a habit of sleeping in every day. But who cares, Im a grown up i can do whatever i like! Eat candy even though its not saturday, eat candy before dinner, smoke, drink and have sex and I love it!

Sorry, also this weekend we lost/gained an hour. Wait…we lost an hour right? So now its 11:00, but its really 12:00? Or did we gain one because we now have an extra hour to play with? Urgh the whole thing confuses me. What the hell, lucky for me both my mobile and my lap top changes the time by themselfes. And our radio controlled wall clocks. I hate when they spin out of control. Every night at 3am or something the clock resets itself by going around the whole 12 hours in a neckbreaking speed and if you’re a bit drunk it looks very scary.

ENOUGH of my blabbering, I have kittens to feed and breakfast to buy! To the Batmobile!

Slept til like 12-1 today. When I was unemployed earlier this summer I made sure I got up at 9.30 every day so that I wouldnt get used to sleeping in all day plus I DID stuff all the time to keep me occupied. Now thats all gone to hell, I sleep in late every day and have to really make myself get up around half 12, but really I could sleep til 2 o’clock. I dont fell like working, I just sit with a book or watching a movie while eating and smoking. Before AJ comes home I start with dinner (did homemade pizza yesterday for example) to which i serve wine. Now, I have had wine every day for the past 5 days at least. So in conclution, Im like a bored teenager after dropping out of school (sleeping, watching movies, dont feel like working and smoking) plus Im kind of like a housewife on the verge of a nervous breakdown (all the cooking and all the wine).

Im a bit confused and feel a bit sad formyself, I really should be doing a bit more, shouldnt I? Ah, well as IL always say, one could have been a jew during the war…or been made to sell paintball to uni students. Anyone who could manage that deserves a medal!

Cheers

So it happened again…even though Im supposed to SAVE my money now (due to lack of job) I seem to spend more than I should. It all started with my walk to the post office today. I was just going there and back, nothing else! But when I was on my way back I remembered the new table cloth I had ordered from ebay yesterday and got delivered just before I left this morning. And while I was thinking about that I realised that I needed some nice cushions as well…so I went in to a furniture store and managed to pick up a cushion and some linen napkins (they where on SALE people!) feeling like a proper wife, buying textiles. Anyway when I got home I realised that I had some left over fabric stuffed away somewhere so I got that out and went to ebay to see if I could find an inner cushion that I could sew a cover for. I ended up bidding/buying four pieces of William Morris fabric (such and middle age thing to do!), one sewing kit (I dont own a sewing machine and I like sewing by hand) a jade bracelet (an exact copy of a bracelet that I bought in Vietnam but lost on my second day in London) there I paid maybe 50p at the most for it, here they wanted £4! Outrageous! Anyway, Im quite sure I was bidding on a few other items as well, this HAS to stop!

Soon Im going to buy porcelain cats from ebay because I think “they will go nice with the flat”. Which they wont! I hate porcelain animals! AJ had a set of porcelain piggy banks in the form of pigs with clothes on them which he got when he was a kid. They are apparently worth a bit of money now, but I assured him that they where much better off locked in a cupboard than on display in the flat. Not that AJ really wanted them out, but I really think they are hideous!

So anyway, I need to be stopped! Not only because my economy cant take it much longer, also because I will end up with weird pieces that I will never use for anything and probably hate. Oh, well, I know Im not alone in this..IL, ya know what Im talking about!

Cheerio

Yesterday while me and AJ did our normal weekly shopping of unnecessary things, I got it in my head to buy a flower. Now I dont have any plants at all in my home, but I always wanted some. My grandmother for example was and amazing artist and gardener who had and amazingly big and beautiful garden at her house before she past away. Me, Im having a hard time remembering to water plants at all!

So, anyway, after finding some sort of green and white flower at marks and sparks, I stupidly decided to place said flower on the dinner table. Which would have been fine if not for the fact that I own two crazy cats who immediately tried to chew it up. This morning, the plant was ripped and separated from the pot and earth was everywhere. So now I have to hide my once upon a time beautiful flower until I can buy and grow some catnip for my cats to eat instead. Seriously! Nothing is sacred when it comes to those two.

Ah, look at me, rambling away about my cats…and the builder is coming on Thursday to check on our kitchen light that seems faulty and right now, Ive got some salmon defrosting! Jeez, time to get a life again maybe? Oooor, IL has just finished her job and now works only a couple of days which means that i could hang out with her instead. Now, that sound so much better!

Haha, btw, the builder that fix stuff in my flat is a guy that works for the agency owning the house I live in. the last time he was here I was unemployed and during these past months I have managed to get a job and then lose it again. When he asked “when can I come over?” and I replied “any day, Im not workng at the moment” i got a slight “oh…” back which made me explain “eh, I mean the last time you saw me I had just been made redundant, but I did get a job later on! But now, oh, well I didnt pass the probation so Im unemployed again..” while he was answering with “hm…” I panicked. Yes, I probably shared a bit too much info with the guy, but I felt a bit judged…Probably just me being paranoid. You get that when you lose two jobs in the matter of months.

Anyway, enough of my rambling for now!

I’ll see you later!

Cheers

Got our diningroom table and chairs today btw! Realised that the chairs are a bit on the small side but thats ok. I mean i guess for normal people they are like any chairs, but if you happen to be in a freakishly tall relationship you get stuff like that. AJ is 6″7 and im just over 5″9…ah, well!

Alos got my hands on some Creedence Clearwater Revival yesterday, so IL you and the girls are already invited for dinner (I’ll give AJ the boot for the night) fuck loads of wine, smokes and Creedence! Its ooon!

Cheers!

You know when you sit on a bus and you suddenly smell something rancid and realise that its the person next to you having a serious case of BO? Well the other day me and AJ went to Sainsbury’s and at one point we both stopped to smell something horrible lingering in the aisle by the loo rolls. At first we didnt know what it was, but then it got stronger. And then we saw a man slowly walking up the aisle. When he past us the horrid smell was at the worst and we both looked at each other and in that same moment realised that it was the man walking by that was the reason for the stench! And he didnt look like some bum either! Doesn’t people shower in this country? Gross! Thats all I have to say about that.

Also, if anyone has seen the X-factor (yes, I KNOW i should snort cocaine at some rave instead of watching the X-factor but i dont give a crap) please agree with me that those Irish twins should be sent back to Ireland and doomed to forever stay there only performing at a shitty pub somewhere in the Dublin suburbs. If that even. They CLEARLY cant sing, they are not entertaining and i feel the inner old lady in me raise her fist and shake it muttering about todays teenagers. I mean, my lord! I know Louie has a hard time right now but i just want to smack him for putting them trough! Lets all hope (x-factor watchers at least) they are gone by tomorrow. And take that whiny too smiley face Joe McElderry with you! I know he can sing but there is definitely a limit to how sweet and smiley you can be.

This week has been rather tough on me. I have basically spent it doing nothing at all but reading bad books, eating huge amounts of candy and cuddling with my cats. if I was single and lived alone people would cry for me and call me pathetic. Thats one of the good things of being in a relationship, less judgment. Im not saying its right, I often stand up for singles in this society, but it makes it easier. And I feel quite good now! I have no idea what Im going to do with my life now, but hey, i young and kind of healthy (not very these days…) so I’m sure I’ll come up with something. And I have to say it feels rather good not working for a company who I have moral doubts about. Not about the actual company, but about the service they provide. Ah, sweet freedom!

Until then, I’ll keep you posted on the sometimes funny but quite uninteresting stuff that goes on in my life.

Cheerio!
