Jammin’ after hours with Saadiq
Hon är så söt när hon sover..
Less sex, more love
You are my high
Olvidando mi Español
I’m afraid I’m forgetting this beautiful language. Languages are as fragile as they are important, if you don’t practice, they simply fade away. Sure, a month in the right company takes you almost right back to where you were, but if you asked me right now to have a conversation with you in Spanish, I would surely experience big difficulties in expressing and finding the right words.
Of the languages I speak, have spoken and ever made efforts to learn, Spanish is without any doubt my favourite one. Not only is it easy to learn, it flows in a magical way and brings back beautiful memories and associations. It’s a language that really makes me happy whenever I hear it, if it’s from people passing by on the street, a song, a movie or whatever.. and when I get to speak it. It’s like euphoria.
So, I decided that I need to go to a Spanish speaking country very soon. To catch up, to get back to my fluency, not to forget. And I should take classes, like, real language classes.. To get it on paper, to know the language officially. I’m thinking South America. I’m thinking Universidad de Buenos Aires, or some place else. I’m thinking Colombia. I’m thinking internship in Mexico. If not, I’m thinking Barcelona. We’ll see if I manage to find something perfect.
First I have an International Relations master to finish.
Until then, movies in Spanish, books in Spanish.. and a lot of Bebe :)

Hurricane
So, I’m here again.. in Orkanen, or the Hurricane as some call it. It’s the really nice Malmö University library and it’s a great place to study.
The windows here are huge, from the floor to the high ceiling, and the view is great. There’s water surrounding the building, and the weather is fantastic. I’m sitting in a red little sofa, making notes from my notes, and trying to remember all this Nussbaum, Giddens, Tilly and Kant stuff.. It’s nice, I like it.
My Spotify keeps me company, I couldn’t concentrate to music with lyrics, but my ambient list is perfect for today.
I actually enjoy this. :)

Another good day has passed, I was on an interview for a new part time job that seemed great.. school is good, I managed to send that last assignment in on time ;) and “real” school starts on thursday.. feels great to be studying for real again, when I think about it, the last time I sat on a real lecture in Sweden was before my Erasmus Exchange to Warsaw.. i.e. 2006. Then it has just been thesiswriting and that kind of “boring” stuff.. haha
I love my pictures.. I could just look at them all day and post them here.. I know it’s boring but they’re so great!! Ah, just look at this one.. it’s from the Escadaria Selarón in one of my absolute favourite cities: Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.. and hey, it connects with the video further down.. ;)
So, after finishing the japanese writer Kobo Abe’s – Woman in the Dunes last week I have now put my hands onto yet another Milan Kundera book, I love this guy, he’s great.. and the title of this one is “The book of laughter and forgetting“. Read Kunderas “The unbearable lightness of being” por favor. I wont post a link here.. just read it, it’s a favourite.
Passion Pit are playing live in Copenhagen tonight.. we didn’t go. Youtube can do this for me, and then I’ll return to reading..
