Old fart?

I've just finished reading the blook (blog-book)version of Fredrik Virtanen's blog. All of a sudden, I realised that he's a lot like Per Hagman, but in a friendlier, less pretentious way. But the really freaky thing is that his old fart taste of music has become more and more similar to mine. Has I been affected by hidden subliminal messages or am I just getting REALLY old?

Eh?

After a loong boring night and pretty much ditto day, I decided to go with my mum to a restaurant even though I really don't have any money. The food was great, grilled prawn with spice chili sauce and garlic butter sauce. And cheesecake for dessert :)
After dinner, my mum and her friend wanted to go to an outdoors pub, so off we went. When I got there, I noticed that the bartender was an old collegue of mine and she asked to stay around until her shift was over at 11. My mum left after a while, but I'd promised to stay so I did.
I sat down with a lady friend of mine, and her seven finnish friend who all spoke in...finnish. I couldn't understand a thing, but after about an hour or so they realized that I was swedish and started to translate everything for me. Around midnight my friend was still working, and I decided that it was time for me to go. But no, I had to stay until I'd finished the cider my lady friend bought me. Around 0.30 I finally said goodbye to my new friends and started to walk away, but I just walked a couple of steps before I was stopped by another friend who insisted on me going in his car. He claimed that it wasn't good for a girl to walk home alone at night. I tried to walk away but then he followed me and tried to carry me to the car. So there I was, in the middle of the night with six other people on a two minute car ride home.

Today all hell broke loose. The worst thunderstorm in a long time, and it lasted all evening. And no power. Woo hoo!
Luckily, I'd just gotten some company when it began. So we just sat there, in opposite sides of the sofa, just staring at each other with nothing to say. But at least he seemed happy, happier than I've seen him in quite a while.
He gave me a ride home where I played some yatzi (What's wrong with cardgames?) with my mum before I went to bed at 10 pm. On a friday night.

What's wrong?
Mood:  not sure
Topic: Bad News
I don't know what's wrong with me. I was really confused after the gym yesterday, I even ordered a "Brie and Salami sandwich without brie" when we went to have coffee. And today I tried to pay my bills and do some shopping (no, not the fun kind of shopping), but of course, I forgot something and had to hit the store a third time. Suddenly I felt shaky, and had this strange need for sweets, and bought it without even knowing what I did. When I got outside the store I pretty much shoved it all in my mouth at once and poof, I was feeling fine again. I really don't like it when my blood sugar goes hey-wild for no apparent reason. I always think of my family who all got diabetes...

I went to the gym eeeearly this morning, and hurried up with the routine since we only had an hour to finish. Suddenly we had lots of time to kill so I added some more exercises. I shouldn't have. When it was time to leave, I couldn't hardly walk up the stairs. My legs were all shaky and wobbly.
Then off to see another friend for coffee, sandwiches and a talk. We complained about being broke and decided to go shopping. Two hours of trying on clothes wasn't exactly the best for my poor body, but at least I had fun...

Impressive?

I was talking to a friend today and she was talking about a friend of hers with lots of money. About her how boyfriend's actually really nice even though he has lots of money.
That's pretty much the same reaction I got when I introduced my mum to a friend of mine, "They were actually really nice, like anyone you meet in the street." Like money would automatically mean that you are really stuck up and rude. Sure, some people are like that but far from everyone. And the worst thing is that people sound like you should get an award for being wealthy AND nice. Like they didn't know that people could be both things.
Personally, I couldn't care less about how much money people have, as long as they are nice and friendly. Maybe I'm like that because most people I know (and elsewhere in Western civilization) have more money than me, I don't know...
I have friends in all categories of income, and as long as they realize that you can't afford all those fancy things they're used to doing, there's usually no problem. Hopefully they're with you because they like you, and what does it matter then if you're drinking your coffee in Italy or your local coffee place.

New cds
Mood:  surprised
Topic: Music
I've listened to some more or less new cds (well...)lately and here are my verdicts:

Red Hot Chili Peppers * Stadium Arcadium - I like more for everytime I listen to it. Rockishly funky!

Teddy Geiger * Underaged Thinking - The boywonder from tv-show that never were. John Mayer in the making.

Nick Lachey * What's left of me - Surprisingly, I like it!

Ronan Keating * Bring you home - No comment.

Bob Sinclar * Western Dreams - If you've heard the hits, you've heard it all!

Sandi Thom * Smile it confuses people - I liked it more than I expected to! Pop at it's best.

Dixie Chicks * Taking the long way - I just love the first single "Not ready to be nice". But the rest? I dunno know...

Nelly Furtado * Loose - With Timerland, it's always a hit...but I still like the Folklore album better.

India Arie * Testimony - I like India, even if I'd like some more variation perhaps.

Corinne Bailey Rae * Corinne Bailey Rae - I really want to like this girl, but I just can't help getting sleepzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz... Please give this girl some great songs!

I went into town today to have coffee/lunch with an old friend. It was good to see her again. We talked and played with her daughter. Had some pie. Then we went into a couple of stores, and of course... the dress I'd planned on buying wasn't there any more. This is the third time that has happened in just a couple of months. I found some tasty strawberries though...

Stop bugging me!

Just about when I was going to sleep last night a big nasty bug decided to move in with me in my bed. As I've said before I sleep (slept?) with window open, and yesterday I got an unwelcome visitor in the shape of a big disgusting bug that looks like a spider, only with six legs instead of eight.
So I got the biggest newspaper I could find, hid behind the door and started poking him. He didn't even move. After about twenty minutes he flew down under my bed and I decided to spend the night in the living room. Said and done, I moved all my blankets and pillows and mobile phone and tried to sleep on the sofa instead. Didn't work. With all that crap with me, half of me didn't fit into the sofa and was left dangling. I laid like that for about half an hour, then I decided to give in and get back to the battle instead. I chased it around the room for an hour before it disappeared without a trace. I checked the room about five times and then went to bed with the covers around me as tightly as possible, scratching my imaginary bitemarks...

The computer is basically back to it's normal state...of not working again, so don't get your hopes up.

Met an old friend last night. It's been a while since I actually talked to him last. We talked about the party to be, sounds good. Lots of people I don't know.

Had lunch with my lady friend. That was good...

Didn't make it to the gym though. Even though I got up at 6 am.
