This isn't really a picture.. A link to a site that has lots of pictures of the small town I was born and raised in.. Plus the site is in english. It's about this filmfestival we've had there annually for years. It's the midnight sun film festival.

Here's a link to the gallery about last summer's festival:

My great aunt died yesterday. She was 94 years old and I haven't seen her for more than 7 years until last year. Yeah, she was old, but she was the last living family member from my mom's side. Our family has never been big.
Oh, and I'm sick, which means I cannot go to work today and tomorrow. Which is kind of great because work still sucks.
I'm sorry.. But she lived a long life.
Hope you get better soon. I send you lot of virtual-get-well-balloons. 
My Great granmother lived to be 92. Died when I was teenager.. Now her son, my granpa died last weekend.. I wasn't very close to him. Still makes me sad.. and still it's a good thing he gets to sleep eternaly now and had pretty painless death. Died in his sleep. 80 years old. He wasn't him self these past few years. He was ill. He always looked terrified when he didn't recognize people.. And he did have a lot of people around him.. He had 13 kids and about 30 grand kids and some great gran kids..We are a pretty large family.. I've got about 49 cousins totally if I counted correctly.

Uh... and the news keep getting worse.. That family most be in agony...
I'm too empathic for this kind of news.. 
Of course a violent death is always a horrible thing but when it comes in doubles or more it makes ten times worse... And when children are involved... I always go into a little shock after news like this... Sorry to ramble again..
I hope Jennifer has people to comfort her...

Baby fuzz? I'm not sure what you mean. It was more like almost cute, manly fuzz. Like a trail of dark hair from his chest down to his, well, you know...
-TeeJay
:rofl: We fins have a name for that.. I'll bet americans do too. And others. I quess it would translate to 'trail of love'. 
#1531 Re: Square Eyes » All The Boys Love Mandy Lane » 27 Oct 08 :: 16:45
I just saw this at surfthechannel.com. I had to dig to see if you had any discussions on it.
It was better than I expected. I mainly watched it because of Mike and Aaron and waited to see another typical horror movie that I could fast forward from time to time when I get bored... so I was suprised. It certainly wasn't predictable! I must say, might be the first horror movie I ever liked. Ofcourse all the blood and killing was discusting.. And.. No killer should ever be that cute. I hope this don't count for a spoiler...
This doesn't have much to do with the movie:
One thing made me want to turn it off momentarily. It was the "Natural selection" t-shirt.. It stinged. Made me numb for a while. The idiot that did the first school shooting in this country wore something similar in some video... Had an entire point about natural selection.. I could write more on this subject but it doesn't belong here.
#1532 Re: All About Chris » Escaping into dreamland » 27 Oct 08 :: 08:27
I had my first Chris-dream last night... Or rather Adam-dream. 
It was really about the fanfic I'm writing... Last night I thought way too much about it and then it kept me rolling in bed until three (or something like that). Then I finally fell asleep and kinda saw my fanfic as a movie. :rofl:
I look pretty much like a walking dead right now. 
I woke up at 6. I was suposed to wake up at 7. Ofcourse that clock on my cell was the only one I forgot to turn yesterday. And I use my cell as my alarm clock. :doh: Oh, well. Gotta see the positive side. I'll bet tonight I'll have no trouble at all to get to sleep.

#1534 Re: Off Topic Stuff » Joke Of The Day » 27 Oct 08 :: 07:15
I quess this is the right place to post this...
Garden Grass Snakes, also known as Garter Snakes (Thamnophissirtalis), can be dangerous.
Yes, grass snakes, not rattlesnakes. Here's why.
A couple in Morro Bay, California, had a lot of potted plants. During a recent chilly spell, the wife was bringing a lot of them indoors to protect them from a possible freeze.
It turned out that a little green garden grass snake was hidden in one of the plants and when it had warmed up, it slithered out and the wife saw it go under the sofa.
She let out a very loud scream.
The husband (who was taking a shower) ran out into the living room naked to see what the problem was. She told him there was a snake under the sofa.
He got down on the floor on his hands and knees to look for it. About that time the family dog came and cold-nosed him on the behind. He thought the snake had bitten him, so he screamed and fell over on the floor.
His wife thought he had a heart attack, so she covered him up, told him to lie still, and called an ambulance.
The attendants rushed in, wouldn't listen to his protests, and loaded him on the stretcher and started carrying him out.
About that time the snake came out from under the sofa and the Emergency Medical Technician saw it and dropped his end of the stretcher.
That's when the man broke his leg and why he is still in the hospital.
The wife still had the problem of the snake in the house, so she called on a neighbor.
He volunteered to capture the snake. He armed himself with a rolled-up newspaper and began poking under the couch. Soon he decided it was gone and told the woman, who sat down on the sofa in relief.
But while relaxing, her hand dangled in between the cushions, where she felt the snake wriggling around. She screamed and fainted, and the snake rushed back under the sofa.
The neighbor, seeing her lying there passed out, tried to use CPR to revive her.
The neighbor's wife, who had just returned from shopping at the grocery store, saw her husband's mouth on the woman's mouth and slammed her husband in the back of the head with a bag of canned goods, knocking him out and cutting his scalp to a point where it needed stitches.
The noise woke the woman from her dead faint and she saw her neighbor lying on the floor with his wife bending over him, so she assumed that he had been bitten by the snake. She went to the kitchen and got a small bottle of whiskey, and began pouring it down the man's throat.
By now the police had arrived.
They saw the unconscious man, smelled the whiskey, and assumed that a drunken fight had occurred. They were about to arrest them all, when the women tried to explain how it all happened over a little green snake.
The police called an ambulance, which took away the neighbor and his sobbing wife.
The little snake again crawled out from under the sofa. One of the policemen drew his gun and fired at it.
He missed the snake and hit the leg of the end table. The table fell over and the lamp on it shattered, and as the bulb broke, it started a fire in the drapes.
The other policeman tried to beat out the flames and fell through the window into the yard on top of the family dog who, startled, jumped up and raced into the street, where an oncoming car swerved to avoid it and smashed into the parked police car.
Meanwhile, the burning drapes were seen by the neighbors who called the fire department.
The firemen had started raising the fire truck ladder when they were halfway down the street.
The rising ladder tore out the overhead wires, put out the electricity, and disconnected the telephones in a ten-square city block area (but they did get the house fire out).
Time passed! Both men were discharged from the hospital, the house was repaired, the dog came home, the police acquired a new car, and all was right with their world.
A while later they were watching TV and the weatherman announced a cold snap for that night. The wife asked her husband if he thought they should bring in their plants for the night.
That's when he shot her.
This and many more funny things @ http://treebeard31.wordpress.com/ I don't know if you're formilliar with it but I just found the site and it cracked me up! :rofl:

#1536 Re: Off Topic Stuff » Randomness » 26 Oct 08 :: 19:10
What did all of you did on this fine sunday?
I just sat back down and lifted my legs up. Rewarded my self with too many pieces of pie and my fifth cocoa-cappuccino for today. I had a weird cleaning spree today. I did like 5-6 hours of cleaning. My feet are killing me. I'm not usually that big fan of cleaning - honestly, I do it pretty sloppy.. I usually do it as fast as possible - but once in a blue moon I get on this weird mood... And now you could perform surgery in our living room.
But i will never loose weight if I keep rewarding my self with pie and stuff... :embarrassed::drool:

Loved it.
#1540 Re: Square Eyes » Post your recent DVD purchases » 26 Oct 08 :: 09:41
I'd love to see Blades of glory. The trailer is hilarious. Tell me what you thought of it.
#1541 Re: Square Eyes » In Praise of Chris's Colleagues » 26 Oct 08 :: 09:29
That's a great blog Amber wrote. I love her way with words.
... And I agree again.
#1542 Re: Square Eyes » In Praise of Chris's Colleagues » 26 Oct 08 :: 09:25
Great review, Tina.
I agree. I would have loved to see that play. There's propably no way that will ever happen unless someone tapes it. So never. I hope one day I'll get to the US and get lots of great theater experiences.
Ofcourse there's theaters where I live too but I've never gone. :embarrassed: Not that I didn't want to. I just never find anyone to go with. Non of my friends or family are interestead in that. They're all stricly movie-people. That plus the fact that the theater doesn't do lots of publicity so I never know if they have something playing.. Um..Here's something I haven't told anyone ever.. I need a new hobby and for couple of years I've been thinking about checking my local theater for that. I never get to it. I seriously need to build a backbone...
#1543 Re: Fan Fiction » JoA: Adam & Adam/Joan stories » 25 Oct 08 :: 17:32
Heh, you know my address. You emailed me earlier in the week and I replied. I'll do my best to look at all your stuff this weekend.
Yeah right. I wasn't sure if it went through. I just sent you the new enhanched first chapter as a word document. It's only five pages long.. The second chapter is about double of that.. That one still needs some work. Maybe I'll put some of it to the third one..
#1544 Re: Fan Fiction » JoA: Adam & Adam/Joan stories » 24 Oct 08 :: 21:50
Um.. Okay.. I made the change. Looks better now. I've read through the first chapter about 40 times and each time corrected something or added something. I need to stop now or it will end up way too long. 
So I'm ready to post it. I quess I'll need someone to proofread it.. Deb? What's your adress? It should be someone who would cought the mistakes. I did try to be thorough..
#1545 Re: Fan Fiction » JoA: Adam & Adam/Joan stories » 24 Oct 08 :: 20:43
Let me ask it this way.. First paragraph from each...
Joan
Joan was smiling. She was so happy. Pleased with her self. She had just won a case. Not just any case. She just wiped the floors with a big bad chain store. That will teach them not to treat their employees like dirt. She couldn't wipe the smirk of her face even when she walked in back to the office. Everybody was congratulating her. She thanked them and head to her own office. She was just 28 years old and she had her own office in a respected law firm. It was all her own doing, her accomplishment. Well, God helped a little; guiding her. Her parents were very proud. Heck, she was very proud. And the best part about her job: she got to do a lot of pro-bono cases. Help the ones no-one else wanted to.
Adam
He woke up. That's something. His ears hurt. Noise. It made his head hurt. The window was open and all the noise from the streets came in. He stood up and closed it. He grimaced for the pain in his leg when he took a step. He went to bathroom. As he was washing his hands he looked at him self in the mirror. That's not a good look for me, he thought. It hurts to smile. He looked like someone just dragged him behind a car for a few blocks. Felt like it too. That wasn't far off. Note to self: never ever date a girl with a jealous ex. So never date again. Why does every damn girl in this city have a jealous ex?
#1546 Re: Fan Fiction » JoA: Adam & Adam/Joan stories » 24 Oct 08 :: 20:40
Hey.. question.. I'm writing this Adam/Joan story with two angles. A bit thru Joan, a bit thru Adam and so on. How would you prefer the beginning:
a) reading how well Joan is doing professionally, and she's still talking to God, meeting her family. All very perky.
b) reading how Adam awakes to new day all bruised up feeling that life's hitting him with both hands. Still he seeses new day full of hope, never loosing his passion for Art.. and pretty brunettes...
I'm thinking about changing Adam first. It would make much more sence to the timeline. But would it be too debressing beginning? Would you lose you interest?
Remember this is my Joanverse.. It's ten years after high school, they're all grown up. Gives me more freedom to develope the characters..
#1547 Re: Fan Fiction » JoA: Adam & Adam/Joan stories » 24 Oct 08 :: 19:29
Oh, shoot.. I just keep getting more and more ideas again before I've carried through the earlier one.. I've now written 13 pages on my Adam-Joan-story with a crime twist. I'm not even half way through yet. And today I got ideas for two more stories I want to write for this my very own Joanverse. One about Luke (and Grace too but from Luke's point of view all the way) and another with Friedman. I'm introducing a lot of new charaters and bringing up some old ones that only had a small role in JoA.
Hey, does anyone know Friedman's first name?
Gotta start working on that first one again before lose my interest.. I have a bad habbit of not carrying through with big projects... :embarrassed:
#1548 Re: Chris On Screen » Fanboys » 24 Oct 08 :: 13:39
OK, I guess it's true then. Oh well. I emailed Kyle to ask if he has any idea when to expect the DVD now. I'll let you guys know if he responds. I'm with you Mel, DVD's all I really care about right now. I'm beat.
I've got a wild quess on that..
Let me put it this way... I know now what I want for christmas... 2009! 
With my luck, I'll never find a Fanboys DVD that works on my DVDplayer. It's gonna be the same as any other Chris-DVD I've found online: region 1 blaa blaa blaa..
#1549 Re: Off Topic Stuff » Randomness » 24 Oct 08 :: 09:25
My face turns scarlett red when I read that previous post of mine.. I ment to be joking but still.. If it's too grose, just say the word and I'll delete it...
I'm still sick so I'm easily annoyed. I make a bad patient. :embarrassed: Sorry if it shows, I try to behave on this site.. I'm starting to think it's not the flue but something else. I thought so even more when JTT came home yesterday and said that he'd been seeing a doctor and he has tonsillitis. We have pretty much the same symptoms. It would make sence that we have the same thing since we tend to kiss a lot. :embarrassed: I'll try get an apointment to see a doctor today so I could get my own antibiotics...
#1550 Re: Square Eyes » Twilight (contains spoilers for all books and the movies) » 24 Oct 08 :: 09:02
