white autumn

I watched Garden State tonight with Ana. While the last song was playing – Let Go, by Frou Frou – we looked outside and looked at each other and had the same idea: what the hell are we doing inside when this white landscape is just waiting for us to jump right in? So we got dressed, got hats, mittens, scarves and ten layers of clothes, and ran outside.

We spent 2 hours playing in the snow, got back right around now… we had a gigantic snowball fight (Ana, Ese, Stefan, Matthias, Ivan, Anas, Pierre, Elodie, Sophie and I), we rolled down the hill on our asses, we ate snow, we went to the 10th floor kitchen and threw snowballs in there, and yelled our hearts out, and made little crazy videos and a HUGE ball that almost crashed against a car…

WINTER!

[edit: here are some photos..]

we’re going to attack!

the famous “crazy-flatmate-jump”

more snow, dinners and workshops.

here is a little review of what has happened in the past weeks – starting with the most important news: our mural is growing daily, making Ana and I happier and happier to have breakfast in our amazingly big and light kitchen.

we are hoping to have it finished by the end of the semester…

The other day I also FINALLY managed to talked to my dear C, who is too much of a busy man to pick up his phone. he rambled for five hours about veganism and hardxcore-ism and about how stupid and ignorant and boring the people he meets at the gym are, and then he yelled a thousand times that he doesn’t like snow and really sounded like a stubborn kid. I can’t help thinking he’s probably the only person in the WORLD who doesn’t enjoy snÃ¸ :( It was an entertaining conversation AND I found out that his sister lived at FANTOFT this summer – isn’t it the coolest thing ever?

Speaking of fantoft, David came over last night, we invited him for dinner. Ana made her amazing tortilla and I just cooked some vegetable rice.

I told him about my obsession with Minnesota and Nebraska, which no one seems to understand – especially not Americans. oh well.. we hung out pretty much the whole evening, talking about accents, minnesota, art, synaesthesia, crazy Pi-obsessed geniuses, and physics. it was nice.

the weather’s going crazy around here. yesterday was the Great Flood, and today there’s a snow storm..

rainbow: day one

rainbow: day two

the platforms were actually evacuated because of the storm…

we got really, really excited.
When Gabriel and I went for a cigarette on the big roof terrace, we met HÃ¥kon and, after doing a little froggy dance (which, en passant, enabled me to spill coffee all over my freshly-washed grey sweater…), Gabriel built a midget snowman (it looked more like a fat lady with big big boobs.. but nevermind). it was cool.

On my way home from university, the storm was hitting it up, hardcore. It took pictures when I got off the bus, it was totally beautiful and made me very very happy.

I’m really hoping the snow will stay until tomorrow. Then we can go out in the morning and play in it.

21 and invincible.

I feel I have to comment on this really day I had … tuesday..
it was totally amazing because the day was so incredibly sunny. the leaves were so yellow and the sky so blue that it seemed like a photoshopped landscape (as proven here). In the morning it was nicely cold – the grass was shining with dew.

I went to the public library – which is one of my favorite places in Bergen – to return my book, then I went to the record store and bought this, which made me happy. Just because.

I hung out with a bunch of cats by the church, met Ana and Stefan for lunch and then tried to find a pair of jeans for an acceptable price. yes, because I don’t know if holes in my jeans right at the crotch are a good idea…

so here are my Fretex-findings

a bee sweater!

jeans!

of course my day wouldn’t have been perfect without this:

someone’s gonna be making muffins soon…..

last nite (she said, oh baby I feel so down)

fantastic.
I went to see Kings of Convenience at Hulen (there’s a review and a few photos here) and I got my picture taken with the guy who accompanied them on the bass, not because I am a celebrity person, but simply because he was making the funniest faces in the world so Essie and I laughed the whole gig through.

he looks like a psycho!

on our way back we saw the cutest hedgehog in the WORLD. at first the girls thought it was a rat, until I said,
wait, it’s a little too slow to be a rat

I rushed towards it to take a picture and I wanted to take it home SO bad.

why doesn’t everyone look like a hedgehog? the world would be a better place…

oh and here’s a picture of my first ever club stamp in Norway.
celebration.

last-minute icing

Saturday night we celebrated baby-Etienne’s birthday.
we got him an awesome balloon that Hiroki couldn’t help but start playing with straight away. (I think his biggest dream is to join Cirque du Soleil.)
