my very first crush ever

was in this guy to the right.

I found this recent interview and thought it was pretty cute/funny.

I am so excited about this page! Right now you can watch movies Martin Scorsese has picked out for free! Such a great idea this is, and pretty layout aswell. I love everything about it.

som jeg elsker damir doma!

SS10 - PALAIS DE TOKYO from Damir Doma on Vimeo.



I want to curl up next to anyone of these boys.
det kribler i magen.

sometimes

I really feel like writing bookreviews here. I have read so much over the summer, but problem is, what I read is mostly in norwegian and I dont even know if these guys have been translated to the english. I am therefore thinking that I could start writing bookreviews in norwegian and perhaps translate parts to english. afterall norwegian is my native language and the language I am most comfortable with. do we have any readers that understand norwegian?

bianchi plus acne = bike



Cute and classy/classic is all I have to say about this bike.

I love how Acne doesn't put the foot down. They want to do it all and they do it, as easy as that. No one can tell them no.

Hair

I think something new has to happen for my hair.

Getting tired of the bangs. Although they have always been a huge part of me.

I am considering several different options.

Getting rid of my bangs (but how to do this? cant just cut them off either):


Photo: Amlul

or getting a 90s cut like this

Photo: Shit and Chanel

or this

Photo: found on norwegian dj and photographer Marthe Elises facebook. Her blog here.

Its raining

I have to pee real bad. Instead I blog these youtubevideos.

Boas showed me this funny video earlier


I also really liked the sneezing panda

Veronica B. Vallenes

I like it when norwegians do good.

Just like Melanie like it when the faroese do good. (I also like it when the faroese do good)

And right now both the faroese Barbara i Göngini and the norwegian Veronica B Vallenes seem to be doing a pretty fair job in Copenhagen at least. (I'm not even there, I just read some danish fashionblogs).

These pictures of the norwegian designer Veronica B Vallenes have been borrowed from anywho.



Perhaps it's not something new entirely, but definitely something I would like to wear.

The shoes here look like shoes I have been drooling over
over at fourthandbleeker before.
so badly that I bought the first and best 90s geometric shoes I could find in a secondhandshop.
They were white. I wore them once.

Alice in Wonderland

March 2010 can not come soon enough.



It looks like the girl from In Treatment is Alice. Excellent casting.

sin fang bous

sin fang bous is the soloproject of the leadsinger of seabear.
I was one of few people attending one of seabears first concerts ever,
(I was at work in the coffeehouse Babalú in Reykjavik)
I came over to them and told them they were my new favourite band
I think they told me in reply that I was their first fan

long story very short:
I <3 sindris mind
(his art, voice, melodies and texts)

with sin fang bous he makes/playes everything by himself



Eat the young, taste the blood
They don't know a thing about us
Shake their bones, throw them out
We make something new out of things lost

I will be the lumberjack and you will be the tree

If you go chasing rabbits and you know you've gone too far
The lines in your hands are the map to show you where you are

I will be the boat and you will be the sea

And if you would find feelings where should be none
Bury them deep before you do something that can't be undone

I will be the fire and you will be the home

Any fluke just might damn off the look those eyes will see
A cold wind's blowing, the cold wind that came with me

I will be the forest and you will be the dead tree

Eat the young, taste the blood
Stab the night with water knives
Shake their bones let them know that there are rodents in their eyes

I will be the lumberjack and you will be the tree

terminator II

I just watched terminator II for the first time. I cant believe those movies have passed me by. I am looking forward to seeing the other terminator movies (although my expectations for the last one are not so high).

when watching terminator II I found Sarah Connor to be such an inspiration.
what an amazing woman.

the glasses she wears here


are somewhat similar to the glasses werner herzog wears in mister lonely


I would love to have a pair of these myself.

CLOSER

Last night I saw the movie Closer by Mike Nichols again. I normally watch it when I feel bad or have a heartache or something up that alley, but yesterday when I watched it I was in a quite harmonious state..

And something had changed. Me or the movie. (I guess we both know what is most likely)

Although I still love it dearly, I could suddenly see its flaws.
They are not many or huge, but I just suddenly realized:
Wow. That Jude Law sure is like a rollercoaster when it comes to acting. Sometimes good and sometimes really bad (one should always keep in mind that bad acting could also be the directors fault). Earlier he would be the one making me blush and fall in love again and think wow there are men like him out there (I know he plays a character, but anyway).
The movie also looked out of sync sometimes with lips and what they said, but that could just aswell be because I have a bad asian copy of the dvd.

I watched it with a girl who recently broke up with her boyfriend and we talked about the realisticness of it all, and I said I thought it was one of the most realistic lovestories I ever saw. It's exactly like that, I said. My friend said she found it to be less dramatic in real life. I am not so sure.

Before we put it on I was like oh, I envy you this feeling of seeing it for the first time (she had seen it before but couldnt remember), and afterwards I was like: Hmm.. This doesn't make me feel how I remember it. Perhaps it was me feeling like crap that was left out this time.

She thought the Jude Law character was mean and silly and I said I thought he was perfectly rational and realistic in his behaviour (except for the occational bad acting). It is the character of the other guy, Clive Owen, that pisses me off. Such a sleazy, sleazy fellow with a foul mouth. I don't get how Anna could fall for his crap, but I guess the act of falling for someone is a completely unrational thing anyway.



Ok, ok.. I might still really love it. Watched the trailer now and only want to see the whole thing again.

Some good quotes from the movie (MAJOR SPOILER WARNING):

Dan: I fell in love with her, Alice.
Alice: Oh, as if you had no choice? There's a moment, there's always a moment, "I can do this, I can give into this, or I can resist it", and I don't know when your moment was, but I bet you there was one.

Dan: You love her like a dog loves its owner.
Larry: And the owner loves the dog for so doing.
Dan: You'll hurt her. You'll never forgive her.
Larry: Of course I'll forgive her. I *have* forgiven her. Without forgiveness we're savages. You're drowning.

Alice: No one will ever love you as much as I do. Why isn't love enough?

Larry: You forget you're dealing with a clinical observer of the human carnival.
Anna: Am I, now?
Larry: Oh, yes.
Anna: You seem more like the cat that got the cream, you can stop licking yourself now.

Larry: You're seeing him now? Since when?
Anna: Since my opening last year.
[pause]
Anna: I'm disgusting.
Larry: You're phenomenal. You're so clever.

Larry: As dermatological conferences go, it was a riot.

Alice: How can one man be so endlessly disappointing?
Dan: That's my charm.

Anna: I'm sorry you're...
Larry: Don't say it! Don't you fucking say you're too good for me. I am, but don't say it.

Larry: [on a photography exhibit] What do you think?
Alice: It's a lie. It's a bunch of sad strangers photographed beautifully, and... all the glittering assholes who appreciate art say it's beautiful 'cause that's what they wanna see. But the people in the photos are sad, and alone... But the pictures make the world seem beautiful, so... the exhibition is reassuring which makes it a lie, and everyone loves a big fat lie.
Larry: I'm the big fat liar's boyfriend.
Alice: Bastard!

Alice: So you're Anna's boyfriend.
Larry: A princess *can* kiss a toad.
Alice: Frog.
Larry: Toad.
Alice: Frog.
Larry: Toad. Frog. Lobster. They're all the same.

Larry: So Anna tell me your bloke wrote a book. Any good?
Alice: Of course.
Larry: It's about you isn't it?
Alice: Some of me.
Larry: Oh? What did he leave out?
Alice: The truth.

Dan: You think love is simple. You think the heart is like a diagram.
Larry: Have you ever seen a human heart? It looks like a fist, wrapped in blood! Go fuck yourself! You writer! You liar!

Anna: Don't stop loving me. I can see it draining out of you. It's me, remember? It was a stupid thing to do and it meant nothing. If you love me enough, you'll forgive me.

Alice: Where is this love? I can't see it, I can't touch it. I can't feel it. I can hear it. I can hear some words, but I can't do anything with your easy words.

Larry: You don't know the first thing about love, because you don't understand compromise.

Dan: What's so great about the truth? Try lying for a change, it's the currency of the world.

Alice: Can I still see you?
[Dan stands silent]
Alice: Dan can I still see you? Answer me.
Dan: I can't see you. If I see you I'll never leave you.
Alice: What will you do if I find someone else?
Dan: Be jealous.

Dan: Look me in the eyes. Tell me you're not in love with me.
Anna: I'm not in love with you.
Dan: You just lied.


Some of the things they say might also seem quite banal like these (but they still make me smile because of the talents behind that know how to deliver them right):

Anna: I don't kiss strange men.
Dan: Neither do I.

Dan: Didn't fancy my sandwiches?
Alice: Don't eat fish.
Dan: Why not?
Alice: Fish piss in the sea.
Dan: So do children.
Alice: Don't eat children either.

Larry: I used to come here a million years ago, when it was a punk club. The stage was... Everything is a version of something else. Twenty years ago. How old were you?
Alice: Four.
Larry: Christ. When I was in flares, you were in nappies.
Alice: My nappies were flared.
