I could have used one today when I was driving back home from McDonald’s.

The sky literally opened itself and the rain poured down. I could hardly see where I was driving!

So I could have used an umbrella for two, one side for me and the other side for the McDonald bag.

A dear friend Maia and I went to Copenhagen last Friday. It was hot as hell and we walked for a about 7 hours, pauses and dinner not included! But I really had a good time! I can’t wait to go there again!

Pictures below!

I didn’t quite get what the movie, Happy-Go-Lucky, was about, it’s lacking a real plot, but it made me smile. You should see it! I think we all have something to learn from Poppy!

Poppy (Sally Hawkins) is an irrepressibly cheerful primary school teacher who won’t let anyone or anything get her down. Even when her bicycle, which she so happily rides through the busy streets of London is stolen, her first thought is only: “I didn’t even get a chance to say goodbye.”

Living with her flatmate Zoe (Alexis Zegerman), Poppy has a gift for making the most of life. Determined to learn to drive, she finds herself matched with Scott (Eddie Marsan), an uptight driving instructor who is everything she is not.

From Director Mike Leigh (Vera Drake) HAPPY-GO-LUCKY is a laugh-out-loud comedy about having fun, looking for love and getting on with life.

It just came to my knowledge that a Swedish company, PhotoPearls, has with the help of fourth grade students from every state in the USA and the Craft and Hobby Association, created the largest bead picture in the world!

The fourth graders used PhotoPearls® (a program where you can create a bead project from any digital photo) to create a photo mosaic of President Barack Obama made entirely of hollow plastic beads. It will be given as a gift to the president on his birthday.

The portrait was created with 372 600 pearls and measures 9 x 11 ½ foot! Amazing!

Compared to that project, my bead creations feels so small ;)

I just found out that my grandmother died earlier today. I was never close to her for some reason, even though I learned a lot from her when I was a child.

This means I have to go to the funeral. I haven’t gotten over my other grandmother’s death and funeral yet and I think it will be really hard for me to go. I just can’t handle my feelings when it comes to old people, death and funerals, I just can’t.

And it will be hard to see my family as well. We don’t talk about feelings (sorrow or love) in our family, ever. It feels like I have to put on a hard face to maintain our non-feelings relationship. And I don’t want to be the one to teach them how wrong it is. Of course, I talk and cry to my mom when I’m depressed and everything, but it’s not the same. Everything is so complicated and I don’t know how to take it all in and how to react. Frustrating.

I think they are supposed to look like geishas ;). Anyway, for a couple a months ago I saw these cute things at Åhléns. Back then they cost 95 SEK (~$12.39) each – waaay overpriced. Today I found them for 25 SEK (~$3.26) each. Bargain! However, when I was going to remove the sticky pricetag on the pink one, as you can see, a bit color fell off from it. Damnit! Poor quality! Thank god they were so cheap! :P

You can find these type of geishas almost at every interior design shop these days, but according to me, most of them are overpriced.

But the ones I bought can’t compete with for example this cool geisha from Tokidoki.
