Just got home from a night out with mom - chicken wings at the great canadian and a couple of drinks with emilia and le parents.

Mom is finally here, hooray!

They say we look a lot alike...

My latest big love, hairband from Zara

Hello my darlings!

I woke up this morning, trés confused. I couldn't remember when we had bought a widescreen tv.. and a black cat. Hm.. and moved. It took a little while before the pieces came together.

Sipping a cocktail at Emilias last night turned into sipping a much larger quantity of cocktails, and ending up at the Highlander. Running in to old friends, catching up over beers. After catching up over a pitcher of margherita, that is.

I wobbled home in the morning, very excited about my idea to adopt the very cute cat I had just met. I'm still very excited actually, just need to arrange a little cat-napping.

Now - dinnertime!

A happy (cat-)napper

Before I hop out on the town I need to share this little dialogue with you guys - it was months ago and I haven't thought of it since. I just re-discovered it on Emilias blog, and I feel the strong need to spred it:

So.. We're at a party, in a pretty fancy apartment. We're sitting on a couch sipping on a glass of wine (well, necking bottles of beer..), next to us are two baltic-looking guys.

Me: Just look at those guys, they have to be russian. The one to the left is probably called Pjotr or something...
Emilia: Haha, yeah.. (goes quiet for a little bit... and then) - EY, PJOTR!

-

The guy on the left turns around looking confused and starts searching the room. We were just doing our best not to die of laughter...

We're terribly smooth, the pair of us.

As previously stated, my morning blues were quite quickly washed away.

All it took was stepping outside in the crisp spring-air, and finding the latest Vogue already on the stands, yay!

Just got home from work - the weather was so incredibly beautiful I felt I just had to take a long detour on the way home, just to get the chance to cross a bridge. Wonderful!

What was even more wonderful was what awaited when I got home. My darling, my love, my other half - my gorgeous roommate Emilia (or Boba, Porr-Puh, Natascha. Use whichever one you prefer.), has supercleaned the whole apartment!! It looks like when we just moved in, in september, only better!

Emilia, I am lost for words. Love you! (And am definetely coming to sip cocktails with you later!)

The reason I felt I had to cross a bridge,

gorgeous or gorgeous?

1. Getting up early in the morning

Just got home from the cinema and I have one thing to tell you - if you have any sense of humour at all, you need to go see The men who stare at goats right now!

In a salle full of frenchies I was the only person who laughed, which only made it all the more fun. Seriously though, don't miss this!

Is there anything better than waking up to a clearblue sky and 15 degrees of spring-air outside? Also, my cramps seem to have taken a break (they're probably on vacation in this lovely weather), so I can actually move around from my bed!

What are you doing on this lovely day my sweets? Or maybe you're in cold and grey Sweden? Anything fun going on there?

I'm gonna go out and taste the fresh air, maybe even buy myself an ice-cream!

I'm giving soup and a piece of toast a try, since my tummy feels awfully empty after three days of starvation. Wish me luck!

Also, I saw this picture - made me smile.

Talk to you later my darlings

Forget everything I said yesterday about getting better.


I just peeled myself of the bathroom floor where I passed out in mere exhaustion about 11 hours ago. I woke up in the middle of the night from a dream about being in some asian prison, being kicked in the stomach by a guard. Waking up and realizing the pain was real, the kicking would have felt like a relief.

Gonna crawl over to the fridge now to check if there's any coke left (emilia, if you're reading this - could you buy a bottle on the way home?) and then go pass out again.

Over and out.

Bridget, wanna switch?

After a strengthening trip to Franprix (I made it!) I decided to take a long walk in the sun along the canal st martin. After strolling around for an hour I definitely feel a bit more alive - I find it relaxing to watch all of the people spending a lazy sunday afternoon in the sun; parents playing with their kids, couples holding hands, friends sharing a picnic and tourists waving from boats.

These last 36 hours I have not been able to move in greater extent that in between the bed and the bathroom. The only thing I have been able to do is sleep - and try not to think about things that makes my stomach turn. For example food and having to stand up long enough to have a cold shower.

My day started out in the worst way possible. Fish leaving for london, and me staying in Paris - with a fever.

Wake up in the morning feeling like... shit. My head is pounding, I have a stamp from the highlander on my right boob and I apparently went home from the bar(s) sans panties - but with an extra ten euros in my wallet. And no - I am not a hooker. I just needed the extra money. Haha.

Great night though, our classic round: frog & princess, café oz, highlander and pub st michel. Now, off to work and then out on the town again! 'Cause tonight, damn right, I might do it again!

Before the Highlander...

(..and Pub st Michel)

Never had time to post the promised video last night, since I spent most of the night wandering around - lost, and very much alone, until my rescuing angel turned up - the streets of paris. About two hours after my go-out-for-a-beer-then-get-home-early-quest started I finally located my company. My mood was slightly enhanced by a big Long Island Ice tea and good company (and a kamikaze-shot..).

However - here is the awaited video - enjoy, my darlings! (and keep in mind, the original track on it was Heavy Fuel by Dire Straits, but YouTube wouldn't let me post that)

Finally the freebox-people decided to come through and provide us poor souls with internet at home - YAY!

Lots and lots have gone down since we last talked, and lots of changes are coming up. In le blog, and in le life. Biggest change you guys will notice (or probably already have) is that I'm giving english blogging a go - by popular demand.

Instead of boring you with a bunch of text I put together a little video for you to enjoy, it'll be up and running later tonight - so stay tuned!

Until then, welcome back all my dear readers, and a BIG welcome to all of you new ones!
