Deckster

I know I'm about 5 seasons after the Dexter phenomena but I am finally on board! and I'm loving it..
As it happens I just read a book that reminded me of Dexters personality alot, Graham Greenes classic Brighton Rock from 1938.
The main character Pinkie is a seventeen year old boy who after his boss gets killed takes over the mob and faces the harsch reality in the gangster world. The thing that connect Dexter and Pinkie is very distinct, the lack of emotions and the intimacy problems, neither Dexter nor Pinkie can be with a woman and do everything to avoid it. Dexter finally do it with his girlsfriend and Pinkie to but only because this girl is a witness and he marries her for the law that says that a wife can't testify against her own husband. So Dexter and pinkie have big differences to, Pinkie is vicious, confused and paranoid and Dexter is not. But still interesteing that I read that book at the same time I started watching Dexter and that scene where Dexter in his mind explains why he can't get close to a woman is almost the same as the scene with pinkie.
Anyhow...it's a really great book! read it!
Coming as a movie in fall to, Helen Mirren are playing a part so I have high hopes! and I really hope they make pinkie as disturb he is in the book.. he has no feelings whatsoever for that girl and find her annoying and pathetic, he is sometimes even disgusted of her. Graham Greene, what a writer!





Now it's time to start reading a book I've been waiting to read a loooong time.


Stephen King here I come!

London

hej hej hallå.. that's how my moms ring tone sounds like, it's from that really catchy song from Swedish rapper Timbuktu. yeah, an important piece of information.

It's 7:15 here in Tranås, Sweden and I have never had a worse night, the sun got up at 4 and I slept in a room with ALL windoes so I couldn't escape it even though I built a wall of pillows around my face. The heat was excrutiating.
Well so I though, couldn't be a better morning to update my blog which has stand still for a while, almost forgot it!

My thoughts about start studying and moving from Sweden has been on my mind alot lately, cannot wait! that's how it feels, even though I'm moving from my best friend and roommate, my amazing dog, my mom whith whom I speak every day and my other friends I've been getting used to hang out with every day..sucks. but at the same time, I couldn't take another year not doing what I've been waiting for since I was about 20, 5 frakkin years! I've been wanting to study and specially in another country for as long as I have known you could. USA has always been no 1 in my interest book but the last few years London has stepped up it's game, close to home, a close friend lives there, starbucks on every corner, comic book shops and great vegan food. So my mind is set and soo happy about it! if I went with my intially plan to go to New York or Los Angeles I could go home what..? once, twice a year? now I'm 2 hors and a cheapish ticket with ryanair from home and that sounds just right.

I have honestly not listen to anything else but his music for the past months. I am practically in love with him.
And of course he died lilke 40 years before his time.
His Voice, his lyrics, his passion, his guitar playing and most of all his music.




So top 10 fav songs of Rory Gallagher

• Rue The Day
• The Cuckoo
• Barley and the Grape Rag
• Bullfrog Blues
• Moonchild
• Tattoo'd Lady
• Cradle Rock
• Goin' to my Hometown
• Lonesome Highway Refraining
• Loanshark Blues

Well if you haven't heard these songs..well to bad for you!

Yesterday was by far one of the best nights out, Zelda me and Ricke spent the night at Stoffes with Tommy, Axel and Henry. We played the Beer-game. And I had 2 non alcoholic beers! I have my enitre life HATED beers but it was quite ok, still it's so hard to swallow it's unbelievable! But maybe that's because I have never in my entire life drunk a whole beer :)

Started drawing a picture of me with my Heroes, i'm gonna make it into 4 different drawings:

Me with my SciFi Heroes

Me with my Actor Heroes

Me with my Musical Heroes

And me and my Comic Book Heroes

Starting with my Sci Fi heroes..gonna include, Spock, Kirk, Rod Serling, Malcolm Reynolds, Cpt Adama, Fox and Dana and maybe a couple more.

Started rewatching Curb Your Enthusiasm again. That Seinfeld and Arrested Development is the best comedy shows EVER and I have probably seen every episode like 15 times each. The absolut best to draw to!

Skepp Ohoj!

My journey from Mint to Marzipan

Oh my I want to tell you all about my jorney from a lifetime of hating Marsipan to loving it. And it all happened in a few weeks.

OK. I have since I was a kid, L O V E D all kinds of mint candy, my big favorites are
After Eight (ofc) and Junior Mints.
That we don't have in Sweden. So After 8 has always been my big love. But, It's very expensive so when I found That Ritter had a chocolate bar that was dark
chocolate and mint I was in heaven! I bought like one bar a day.
Then the store that's closest to me stopped having it! I was devestated, I just want to add to this story that I am a VERY picky eater so when I find something I like I eat that and ONLY that, forever. So my choclate needs were have to be filled. So the only chocolate bar I found I could eat (adding to the boundries of what I can and will eat, I'm allergic to milk so dark chocolate is the only thing I can eat.) war Ritter Marzipan.. And I HATE Marzipan, since I was a kid. never ate it after that.
So, now I was at home with this stupid Marzipan chocolate and I ate it, At first I was like...yuuck! but after a couple of pieces (yes, I continued) I was surprised it wasn't more diguisting.
So I started buing that one since my minty one was M.I.A.
And all of a sudden I found in a different store the minty ones! BUT...at that time I was more desire for the marzipan Ritter.. So I was hooked.
And then...one day in april. My store stopped selling that one TOO!
and again I was lost.. and since I don't like anything and can't eat anything but I needed Something, and marzipan was on my mind..I searched. And found, since easter was just over, easter candy on sale.. and there I saw them.. Anthon Bergs Marzipan Eggs. I was like YUCK. I have always hated marxipan eggs..but my craving told me different and I bought them. I got home.. I talked to my roomie who Also hates marzipan so she understood my confusion about theese new feelings about it.
I started on an egg...And... I ... was... in...heaven! amongst the most satisfactory piece of candy I have ever tasted.
So now.. I have a new love. Marzipan.
The ironic thing about this journey is that Anthon Berg is amongst the most expensive chocolate in a store.. so I'm actually spending more money on these wonderful eggs than I ever did on After Eight.
True Story!
