CPH shopping

I wasn't really supposed to be doing a lot of shopping, but... when in Rome, right?

(Well at least when you compare this city to Oslo)

Great winter kicks by Reebok

Nude insanely high-heeled shoes by Aldo

Great pastel nail-polish by Barry M

Gorgeous long-line bra from Urban Outfitters

All in all, a nice haul :)

Off to tan!

Damn, I have a big zit on my face. Damndamndamn!
I have plans to meet my cousin today. Haven't seen him for 10 years. Awesomeness...

New Camera!

A Canon Ixus... Purty, eh? I actually wanted a pink one, but I'm more excited about this color. It is fresh, dontcha think?

Runny nose

I'm in CPH and I'm sick... fucking annoying but that's the way it is. I'm planning to go downtown with my friend J (who I'm staying with) and have a coffee and possibly buy a camera... I want a pink one, preferably, but I'll see. I'd also want a pair of rockin' sunglasses that I saw in Oslo, but that is a question that is more up in the air. I know sunglasses are cheaper here than in Norway, but I do already have loads of them... Although those, were quite sexy on me... I look good in badass glasses. I will post a pic if I decide to buy them.

At the moment I'm downing camomile tea that lovely J has made for me so I will hopefully get better. Then I'mma jump in the shower and get prepared for going outside...

Fuck the weather

I am buying light ripped jeans and army green t-shirts. I am getting a tan. I even got myself some self-tanner. I know there's snow in Copenhagen, but I don't care! I'm Norwegian for fuck's sake. I can handle it.

Boredom deluxe

I've decided to spend more time on my appearance, as in make-up. I've always used plenty of time to get dressed, hours deciding what to wear, but always hated to spend a lot of time on make-up and hair. I'm quite happy with my hair and I know I can't do too much with it as it is quite thin, but there are many things I can do make-up wise. Here are my recent purchases in that department....

Lipliner (MAC) and eyeliner (Chanel):

Lipstick and primer for eyelids (both MAC):

 

(Please forgive the crappy pictures, will get new camera soon... am using my old Nokia at the moment...)

Yeah, I really wanted a bright bubblegummy pink lipstick for fun to experiment with. I love color in my wardrobe, so I want some color in my apparel as well. My newest "blog crush" is the blog of Monica Tang, as she is a blogger not afraid to follow her own tastes in a country where mainstream fashion is close to worshipped. The blog is in Norwegian, but you can use Google Translate and/or enjoy the pictures of her cute outfits.

Make-up-wise, I'd also like to get eyebrow stencils from eyebrowz.com, lipstick from Lime Crime and makeup palettes from Coastal Scents. But I shan't get ahead of myself here, as I tend to go completely berserk with whatever obsession I have at the moment. (You should see my book collection!) So I'll make do with what I have.

Another highly interesting thing I did today was to go tanning. I love laying there, so I see the tan as only a bonus. It is very relaxing after a long day. Sometimes I almost fall completely asleep in there only to wake up again and be extremely confused for a couple of seconds. Has that ever happened to you? If not in a tanning bed, then in a regular bed? Especially when away from home? I find it extremely amusing.

You see, I need to look good for Copenhagen. My first proper chill vacation time for a long time. It is really nice to get away for a little bit. Actually it won't be just a little bit, but a full 9 days away from home. Sweet.

I have to get up early in the morning, so hugs and kisses to you all!

Muah muah!

Endeavour Lifts Off
http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/imagegallery/image_feature_1585.html


Space shuttle Endeavour lights up the night sky as it lifts off from Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The primary payload for the STS-130 mission to the International Space Station is the Tranquility node, a pressurized module that will provide additional room for crew members and many of the station's life support and environmental control systems. Attached to one end of Tranquility is a cupola, a unique work area with six windows on its sides and one on top. The cupola resembles a circular bay window and will provide a vastly improved view of the station's exterior. The multi-directional view will allow the crew to monitor spacewalks and docking operations, as well as provide a spectacular view of Earth and other celestial objects. The module was built in Turin, Italy, by Thales Alenia Space for the European Space Agency. Image Credit: NASA/Jim Grossmann For credit and copyright guidance, please visit image webpage.

fuck

I hate migraines

Woo-pee-dee-doo!

I'll be going to CPH for a winter vacay in about a week, awesomeness!
Going down there to see a very good friend of mine. She's awesome, but
a bit different from me. The week will definitely be an interesting
one. I foresee dumpster diving, which isn't really my thing but I have
an open mind to most things.

Is CBS Anti-Gay and Pro-Life?

Signs

Depression and Inspiration

Depressed now. Been for a while. I'm desperately trying to get inspired to get myself out of this situation as I've been here for a while. Looking at pretty things like this bandage dress definitely helps, if just a tiny bit...

At work boring my culo off... Gahd...

Quake Aftershock Damage Seen by NASA Satellite
http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/imagegallery/image_feature_1573.html


The Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) instrument on NASA's Terra spacecraft captured this false-color image of Haiti on Jan. 21, 2010, nine days after a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck the region and caused massive damage and loss of life, and one day after a large 5.9 aftershock caused additional damage. While ASTER's 50-foot resolution is not sufficient to see damaged buildings, it can be used to identify other results. Tiny dots of white against the plant-covered landscape (red in this image) are possible landslides, a common occurrence in mountainous terrain after large earthquakes. The possible landslides were identified by carefully comparing the new image with an image acquired one year ago. Port-au-Prince, Haiti's capital, is silver in the false-color image. The rivers are pale blue, while the ocean is dark blue. Exposed soil is white.

My biggest pet peeve...

... is actually a small annoyance, but it happens so often it drives me crazy. People here have no subway etiquette. Let me get off the train, or I will push you out of the way. Hard. I don't care if you're a little old lady or a big burly man. Let me exit, or you will meet my pointy elbow.
