Kodachi-kun 2010

Random picture dump to motivate not deleting this blogg\(^_^)/
...or really I'm just avoiding doing homework(-_-);
I could just as well upload the pictures to facebook.. but I don't really like facebook.. only have it for practical reasons like to know when the japanese students have parties that I never go to because I'm always sick, have dance practice or both..
Maybe I wouldn't get sick so often if I didn't work out when sick?
Oh well, onward to the pictures.

The end of the cosplay show. I did take a lot of pictures during
the show but the lighting was so bad it be an insult to the cosplayers
if I uploaded them

At least I found a few cosplayers after the show.
Like this girl cosplaying Cat scratch from spiderman.

A maid from some anime I wish I remembered
the name of.

Cubone from Pokémon.

Cheshire Cat from Disney's version of Alice
 in Wonderland and France from Hetalia.

Prussia from Hetalia.

Not cosplay but still a nice dress.

Reno and the Turks

Argh I haven't been able to update the blog in more than a month now>.<;
I'm not used to actually have to study in school so I'm always too tired to write when I get home..
 So here's a picture I made to keep the blog alive^^

What I thought everytime I read Reno and Turks while playing Final fantasy 7;)

Back to school.. but first some amazing concerts!

Friday was the last day of malmöfestivalen and today is my last free day before school starts.. I'm really looking to studying japanese but I hate going back to school >.<;

 I really don't want to spend my last free day writing about school, so I'll cheer myself up remebering the awesome artists we saw^^ There's always too many great artists playing at the same time on the last day of the festival. It sucks missing a couple bands I really would've liked to see but once the concerts I chose start I always feel I made the right choice.

"Inte vackrast i välden/Not the most beatiful in the world" by singer-songwriter/comedian/spoken word artist Emil Jensen. I never listened to his music that much before but now when I learnt to listen to the lyrics I'm really starting to like his songs. The talk between the songs was still my main reason for staying at the concert. If you understand swedish you have to listen to this 

Britta Persson with band. We didn't plan to watch them, just
heardthem on our way to buy some food and liked their sound.
Note the bas amp the photographer's pointing to.

I can't get over how awesome the ampifier is.. If I ever get serious
playing guitar or bas I'll definitely get an amp like that.

I'm pretty sure the singer's Tomas Andersson Wij. I listened to
one song on my way to see Moto boy. Didn't really like it but I
like the creepy picture in the background.

I never heard Moto boy before seeing him live and was really amazed how great his voice actually is. The only other singer with such a voice I can of is Gackt, whose music I'm completely addicted to right now. 

A sligtly more ordinary song, still awesome singing!

The last band for this years festival was Teddybears with a fantastic live show. None of my photos make it justice but I just have to post some anyway^^

Displaying lyrics on the scene is a great way to have more
fans singing along.

Old time Pong.

Obey the bear!

Sparkly head/guitar solo show off time.

Gonna beat you up with my microphone..

Good night and sweet dreams, everyone!

Yet another day at Malmöfestivalen..

Yesterday I was at Malmöfestivalen again with Saga and Aneta. (I'll write about something else soon..)
We didn't have much planned for the day. Aneta went to Malmö earlier to get make up done by a friend who had some kind make up class. When I and Saga got there we bought some random stuff, namely Aneta bought a hat, Saga a pair of shoes and I some materials for hats and earings.

Aneta's new hat. I edited the photo slightly since my hands
holding the camera were visible in the mirror^^;

Later after I almost lost all the materials I bought when we sat down to eat, forgetting them after I put the  plastic bag down so I could hold my plate. When remembered I didn't think it would still be there but went back to check anyway. I was really happy when I found out the people that found it left at one of the market stalls so I could get it back^^

At posthusplatsen we made "seed bombs". You're supposed
to take care of them and then plant them in nature.
I watered mine once then put it in the garden hoping the rain'll
do the work for me.

We also meet Andrea there and watched a part of Urban Cable's
semi final.

 

Fail.

No fail.

After watching we went to get some free helium balloons. At first we'd planned to see Salem al Fakir who played at 21.30 but Aneta was too tired to stay and I didn't really mind getting home early so I could Final Fantasy.

Have a great day!

More random stuff at Malmöfestivalen

Last  tuesday I went to Malmöfestivalen with Aneta again to meet some of her friends, see malmö opera(which I was really looking forward to..) and some bands. Unfortunately the opera was cancelled due to the strong winds so we got an extra hour walking around without any real plan.

Stupid weather..

Anna, Mio and Aneta posing

in front of the Bastard resturant.

Trying to find something else to do.

Found a little amusement park!

  After my friends tried a ride(I don't trust the few portable attractions that actually seems worth the money..) we went to a youth hangout, posthusplatsen, can't think of anything better to call it. There we bought some food, got verbally attacked by a job coach and I meet Andrea and found Terebi Gemu's tent wich I'd been looking for.

  They hadn't finished settign up and I considered asking if I should stay and help but she told me it was cold and boring before I had to to say anything. Which was really lucky since I might've missed the best concert of the day otherwise.

When the others were drinking I got bored and took pictures
of a duck. They wanted to stay for a while so took a lot of
pictures.  I think the duck got annyed.

When the Johnossi concert was about to start they agreed to leave the park but sometime along the way we decided to see the awesome queer dansband(Dansband) Klas-Ingelaz instead. 

                                            

"He's fine, he's mine and he loves me so much / I'm in love with you Pär and you're making me feel like this / It's tingling and stirring and spinning and burning in me".

             

Then we saw Sista sekunden, a swedish hardcore band. They were pretty good live but not something I usually listen to.

A photo of the screen next to the scene at Band of horses concert.

I ate seaweed salad instead getting to the scene early. So I didn't

get any good pictures..

On our way to the bus we walked past another dansband, Lasse Stefanz, and stayed 'til this song finished.

I went to Malmö again today but I write about that tomorrow.
Good night!

These lovely books are finally mine

I was so happy when I found three advice-notes in my mailbox today, so I went right down to the post-office and got two boring school-books (but very necessary) and these lovely books in a box.

Now I got to do some math, and later, before I fall asleep, I'll read about Alice.
So goodnight, followers of this blog, please write a comment, so that I know that you exist! ^^

I just love children's books

Yesterday when I was on a flea market with my dad I found a wonderful book. Even though I don't need it and I am in some sort of economical crisis, I just couldn't stand buying it. Besides, it was very cheap, but still...
Anyway, I love it. ^^

The book about Moomin, Mymble and Little My.

By Tove Jansson

Do you have any favourite children's books that you can remember from your childhood?
I especially remember Pippi Longstocking, Alfons Åberg and Astrid Lindgren's books.

Well, I am waiting for a package with two books, Alice advetures in wonderland and throgh the looking glass. I can't wait!!!!
Pictures will come!

Best wishes,

Emily
