Films I've watched the past week that have been a bit strange but very very good as well

The Extraordinary Adventures of Mr West in the Land of the Bolsheviks
(Необычайные приключения мистера Веста в стране Большевиков)(wiki)

Run Lola Run (Lola Rennt)

The Piano (The Piano)

And finally, London I

 Kensington Gardens in the evening

 To watch The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, much happiness ensued

I can really recommend the 360 version of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe - yet probably mostly for those who have grown up with Narnia, either the books or the old tv-series. My sister and I grew up watching these on taped-from-tv-videos, again and again, long before we were old enough to notice the beat-you-over-the-head Christian theme. Watching the show in Kensington Gardens was very much a nudge/whisper/LOOKIT'SASLAN-experience for both of us, in the same way that we now watch the Lion King together. It is a very cleverly done play though, with a circular scene (duh) which means they need have actors facing in all directions - I'd say it's interesting for those who are interested in theatre as an art as well as fans of the BBC-series, and moreso for those of us that are both. Go, go!

Falmouth I

 Caipiroska-deliciousness at Eight Bar

 I know you, Falmouth

 The Princess Pavilion - to watch Freya's Oklahoma!-show

 Children on the grass drawing... the gardens?

Going back to Falmouth was odd. On the way there I was scared I would meet friends I haven't seen in almost a year, and all of a sudden have nothing to talk about. Or not get along. Or this or that or something bad would happen. Instead I had an event-packed weekend, where we went to all our old pub haunts, watched Much Ado About Nothing by my old housemates' old drama society, watched Oklahoma! with my old housemate Freya, went to an engagement meal, went to more pubs, saw the Olympic flame go by (carried by a running 12-year-old), ate toast, drank tea, ate pasties and ice cream and fudge and a pub lunch and discovered break-ups had happened as well as people getting together, and all in all the weekend went too fast - I was suddenly on my way to Brighton. More photos from Falmouth to come first though. Nothing like a bit of nostalgia.

Brighton

This is me, sitting in Kayung and Kyle's back garden in the sunshine (and a bit of wind), drinking tea and taking it very easy.

The past week has been exhiliratingly busy, with Norway Day on Thursday, flying to Oslo on Thursday, flying to London and taking the train to Cornwall on Friday, spending the weekend in Falmouth (not sleeping much), taking the train to London on Sunday and sleeping a few hours at Ina's house before heading to Brighton this morning.

Now I'm chilling with tea and sunshine and lovely Kay who is writing her uni proposal, which suits me good since it gives me an excuse to lazy about and do nothing. I probably won't post much this week, but I wanted you to know I'm alive and happy as a lark.

Weekend, weekend

 Started The Lord of the Rings, realised I haven't read this in at least three years, probably four...

 Went to parents, helped wash the car, watched The Holy Grail, had wine and brie with syrup

 Went to two art installationy things for the student newspaper, will edit photos soon,

introduction out in the SNOW (zoom in (that is not rain, that is snow))

Met Ida, had wine, looked at art

I also went to a photography talk at a photo fair with my dad, went to Hella for a walk with Christine and her neighbour's dog Zenta, went out with Dixie and ran into my latin-americans and also my cousin, did lots of laundry (the day after, of course), planned London, and went for a walk with Viktoria. And still I managed to slump around catching up on Mark Reads LOTR (only the chapters I've read), drinking hot teas and toddies and generally doing as little as possible.
