Scandal's Olivia and Fitz...Why haven't I watch this show before? My stomach actually hurt after watching that show...
Jesus, can't take all this angst...

Okay, I'm now obsessed with Misfits. It's not good because I have not the money to buy the boxset and I really,really, really want it .PLEASE GOD, give me money to buy it.
I went into to this show thinking it would be...well like Dr. Who..A show I have yet to see the charm in.
But this show, I do love. So freaking funny and cute.

Example one:

 

And the epic:
"If I was mentally deficient, I would've missed."

Nathan is love...*sigh*

But, I have now a huge, huge crush on Iwan Rheon ( Simon ). I can't help it. I have a think for the underdog. I love his and Alishas storyline. So cute and he's like Superman now. ;)
But also, Iwan Rheon can sing..*sigh* His voice is awesome. And the man did a cover of one of my favorite singer/songwriters Ray Lamontagne's Jolene ( BTW. that song is played during the end credits of The Town ).
Listen here
( Jolene lyricsCollapse )
And another thing about Misfits..Awesome, awesome music...So many picks and I need to get Spotify on my phone so I can listen to the soundtrack all the time. But if you happen to have Spotify..Well, I highly recommend Sharemyplaylist.com and get the Season one and two playlist for Misfits. It's my addiction now....

I seriously need to calm the fuck down now...Can't be obsessing over a tv-show like that...I'm to old for this shit....

So ending this with a header I just needed to do...;)
( HeaderCollapse )
 

So I have finally seen "The Town". I was so excited because the book is one of the best books I have ever read. 
The book is haunting and it's heartbreaking to read. Here's a man who wants to change his life so badly that he is willing to risk his life.
A man that struggles between his old life and a new one.
The movie was nothing like I expected. I expected the book. Well, I got some of it. But I expected more.
Ben Affleck can make movies. He did an okay job with another one of my favorite books Gone baby Gone. Even though I think the casting of Angie was way, way off...
But this movie, The Town...Well, I kind of wanted more heartbreak and pain. The ending of the book was nothing life the ending of the movie which I think was not really bad but safe. The ending is perfect and real. It's painful and sad. This ending was like Ben Affleck was too scared to go there. It was more Hollywood which pissed me off. But mostly I would love to have this part in the movie:

"In your garden." He spoke in hoarse bursts. "That last time. I wanted you....to tell me not to do it. I wanted you...to stop me."
She shook her head in horror.
"I wanted you...to give me a reason..."
"But nothing I could have said..."
She still didn't get him. "I would have done....anything for you. Even save myself."

Another thing..If you haven't seen Downton Abbey yet..Well, then you just have to. Such an awesome show. I love the character of Mr.Bates. I read somewhere that he was compared to characters like Mr Darcy and Mr Thornton in North & South. I think they are right in a way. At least he is a character you want. I loved the scene in the first episode where he is kind of begging to let him stay. Excellent acting when you can see the pain in his face. 
But I also fell in love with Mary and Matthew.
I'm glad to see that they are making a series two.
It's just need to be soon.

 

That would be good. But then again, I love to sleep..;)
Work has been killing me lately. Maybe it's cause it's so dark these days and I get so tired. Or it's just gone to a certain when my body can't take the work load. Even I can break.
But my boss refuse to listen when we complain that it's too much. His reply is 'it's this or you should start looking for another job'.

- I'm still working on getting my driver's license . It's a struggle to juggle both work and then study. But I refuse to give up. I will make it, eventually.

- It's been snowing here for three days straight. I'm getting so tired of snow..Well, snowing at least.
But they are saying that this weekend we'll get around -15C here. That's cold...Not fun..But I get in the christmas spirit kind of when it's that cold.
It's a month left until then but I will start my Christmas shopping soon. Fun...

- Have anyone read "Never let me go" by Kazuo Ishiguro? I can't get through that book. It's not that it's bad. It's just..Well, not much happens. I want words that move me. Beautiful writting and characters that you feel for. But this book lacks both. I keep waiting for a big secret, or a big twist. ...Maybe at the end. I loved his book "The remains of the day". That was awesome..But I'm ready to give up on "Never let me go".

- On the plus side..Read...The Death and Life Charlie St. Cloud.. It has the most beautiful description of death/dying/after life that I have ever read.

- Has anyone seen Inception? I just saw it last week. But it didn't blow me away as I expected. I did hmm..download it..Maybe it's better at the big screen. And the end....hmmm...I don't know..I'm waiting for the release of The Town..I need to see that movie.

- I LOVE LOVE The Walking Dead. I'm a fan of movies like Day of the dead. So I love that show. I read that season one is coming to an end soon. Like one or two episodes left and then we have to wait until August or something next year. WHAT A FUCK!
Episode two ( I think )...That opening scene with that guy they left on the roof freaked me out so much.....

- Vampire diaries....Damon's confession to Elena..Well, I cried..
Can't wait until next Fringe! I love to see when Peter finds out the truth...
House bores me....
Raising Hope is funny....

- After seeing the trailer for the new Jane Eyre...Well, I have a small crush on Michael Fassbender.
*sigh*..The man is pretty...

I'm off to check out Downton Abbey...Hope it's as good as I think...
 

I do not believe in God. I do not believe in a higher thing. But today I began to doubt that. Because, maybe there is something up there....
On Friday it was the anniversary of my dad's death. Three days later another life came into this world...
My dad died and into my life a new life has entered.
Today my niece was born!
I'm so happy now that it feels like I can fly....;)

And in the words of Kurt Vonnegut:

"Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies-"God damn it, you've got to be kind."

 

 

Time moves so fast. Yesterday was the anniversary of my dad's death. A year had passed since that night when I entered that room and saw my father for the last time. I went home yesterday and me and my mum put flowers on his grave and lit candles. I talked to him as I do sometimes. I told him that I missed him. There is so much I want to tell him. That feeling will never go away.
Sometimes I wonder if he was scared knowing that he hadn't much time left. Sometimes I think about the fact that he never really got to see his dreams come through. We talked about that a couple of months before he died. He had just seen "The Bucket list" for the first time and he wanted to see more of the world before he died. He talked about wanting to see the sea and the farm where he grew up. He had a dream when he was young that he wanted to learn how to fly. He loved planes. I wanted to give him flying lessons or something like that when it came time for him to retire. The cancer robbed him of all of that.
My dad worked all of the time. He almost never sick until he was diagnosed with cancer. He waited to do so many things until it was too late.
I will get this meaning tattoo:d on the inside of my wrist memento vivere. It's latin and means remember that you have to live. And that's one thing that losing my dad has thought me; to never ever put of things, to never wait for another day. Just to fight as hard as possible to make your dreams come through.

"We do not need to grieve for the dead. Why should we grieve for them? They are now in a place where there is no more shadow, darkness, loneliness, isolation, or pain. They are home."  ( John O'Donohue )

My dad ( about five months before he died )


My dad...I love you...

"He died that day because his body had served its purpose. His soul had done what it came to do, learned what it came to learn, and then was free to leave."  ( Garth Stein )

"Perhaps they are not stars in the sky, but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy."

I finally wrote a fanfic. It's my first try at a The Vampire diaries one. Well, it's not yet beta read so it might change. I'm thinking of doing some more chapters..But we'll see...
 

I'm enjoying some long over due vacation time..Well, it felt like that at least when it was 35 C outside and I had to work. It felt like I would never get my time. But finally. I'm on my first week ( out of two ). Well, it's not much but at least it's something.
The weather isn't that great but I don't mind. At least it's not raining. Not yet..;)
I'm still doing driving lessons to try to get my license. I will take the written exam next month and then the driving exam thingy. That part freaks me out 'cause you have the examiner right there beside you just judging you. 
But I'm trying not to think about that...I will surely freak out as it gets closer to that date.

* I'm working my way through season 3 of Mad Men. And that show blows me away. It's so freaking sad in a way because all characters are so broken. But the story itself is so real and so well written. I just watched the episode where Don finally admits the truth about himself to Betty and the acting was perfect and I cried a little...As always....

* Is it me or don't you think Eric is the most interested character in True Blood? Well, Franklin is hilarious. And he better not be dead.
But why have they written Sookie as so f-cking annoying! I wanted to slap her more than once. 

* Rookie Blue...I have a small, small crush on Ben Bass ( Sam ). What can I say...The eyes..He looks like a puppy with those eyes....

* Have anyone read The Pillars of the earth? I'm loving the show so I bought the book. I hope it's as good.
Isn't Eddie Redmayne just gorgous?..*sigh*..The man played Angel Clare in the new version of one of my favorite books Tess of the D'Urbervilles and he's in The yellow handkerchief ( opposite ice -queen- can't-act Kristen Stewart ;( ) So the man is just perfect.

* I just finished watching the two first episodes of Sherlock and I just loved it...
Best lines from the show:
Holmes: Shut up!
Lestrade: I didn't say anything.
Holmes: You were thinking. It's annoying.

and the epic:
