Funabashi IKEA

We have been to IKEA to buy some Christmas feeling. It was fun, the children not as noise as at Bulltofta, and people less fat, but other than that pretty much the same. Me and Mathias even had to sit down halfway through, because we got soooo tired... Erlö was da super shopper.

Two boys, one mission! Christmas!

Well you tell me...

Hey there Mr Shinoist! Merry Fuckin' Christmas!

Now I've heard that in Japan,
Everyone just lives in sin.
They pray to several gods,
And put needles in their skin.

On December 25th,
All they do is eat a cake.
And that is why I go to Japan,
And walk around and say...

HEY THERE, mister Shintoist!
Merry Fuckin' Christmas!
God is gonna kick your ass,
You infidelic pagan scum!

Okay, we're getting into that Christmas spirit weather you want it or not!

And the Soup shall set you free

Is this cyber enough for you?

Video conferencing träms-style... Shibuya is the center of the cyber world.

Well spent Saturday

First we went to Suidobashi for a ride with Thunder Dolphin. Then we tried the umbrella thingy too... not so scary... I brought the good lens as you can see.

Mathias looking good as usual... or at least when he does not know that he is being photographed.

Then Roppongi, and viewing of Christmas lighting.

Yes, Tokyo Tower was there as usual.

Coffee at Starbucks while waiting for the movie to start. And someone had stolen the chairs to our table.

Me, doing the Japanese thing.

The Day the Earth Stood Still, was not so fun, but premier screen and Champagne is always nice. And then dinner and 2 episodes of Six Feet Under...

Neon Bride

I stole this photo from Andreas at facebook, and it seems like her name is Linnea and that she's just got married. She has a Hepburnistic beauty over her, and I hope she will let me know if she doesn't want to be blogged this way.

I might have played with the colours some... but she was super cool to start with...

Definition of Cuddliness - Lussekatter

As those of you who pay attention knows, Daniel is surfing the Mediterranean with another Daniel, and my cats are celebrating Christmas in Kattarp at my parents place. My mother took this photo on Lucia (13th december), my babies, my furry hearts, my partners in crime, my escape, my reality, my sanity, my family, my Mint and my Aron.

Just look how soft they look, how absolutely wonderful it would be to be part of this pile of cuddle. Aron's tail is shimmering and just look at Mint's nose a master piece of beauty; see how the colours change from white to brown, his pink nose then black and then a long long nose, that needs lots of kisses :).

Death, survival, and morphological development of hippocampal granule cell born in an inflammatory enviroment

I just found it on top of my freezer and it was just what I needed to find; baby sister's doctoral thesis. I'm tired with that lovely vibrating feeling added on top and basically just used all my power to get me inside the door and down on the lovely warm heated floor to sleep until the morning. But then I saw it, and there were a little marker and I read the acknowledgements.

Someone else online during the night, willing to listen, is of cause my one and only sister Emma. She has gone off to Japan, yet again, forcing me to settle for a virtual sisterhood. Oh, how I miss you. You are my morality, and my immorality. You once taught me to read, and there's absolutely no way I could have finished this thesis had I been illiterate! What would I be without you? Even though you are across the globe doing your thing, you always remember me, you always support me, and you are always the best sister I could dream of. I will never stop being your imoto. Oh, and also, thanks for taking an interest in my lab work (mounting those slides, and meeting the rats), and for introducing me to your in-Sweden replacement - sweet Daniel.

Vad ska man säga? Jag är utomordenligt stolt över dig och glad över att du är min syster. Och du lyckades åter en gång göra det du är bäst på, att lyfta mig när jag är nere.
