Well, then, home again from Gothenburg.
I must say, ut just gets harder and harder to say good bye to the Mr everytime he or I have to go home. That sucks!
So this was my weekend. On Friday I went down to Gothenburg, quite late in the evening, around 22, as the train was more than 30 minutes late. So I went over to my granpas cousin where I watched an episode of the new season of Wire in the Blood, which has became really bad compared to the first seasons I must say, and then staright to bed.
Saturday: Woho! Up early to go met the wonderful one at the bus station! Went back so he could eat something and then we went to do some window (and regular) shopping. Bought a Gaiman book; Interwolds.
In the evening we went to see Micmacs!
Quite an awesome film!
Micmacs
Bazil dad dies when he is very young and he gets sent away to a boarding school when his mother can't take care of him. He runs away, but his life up till adulthood seems quite alright, until he got shot in the head. Then he loses his flat, his job and all his things, so he gets adopted by some people who lives on the junkyard.
When he find the company who makes the mine his dad was trying to disarm, and the company who made the bullet that he got shot with, he and his friends decides it is payback time!
A wonderful film by the amazing Jean-Pierre Jeunet, who is also famous for his films Amélie from Montmartre, Delicatessen and The Long Engagement. The mice-en-scene is recognizable from all other of his films (maybe except Alien:Ressurection...) and the funniest thing is that in parts of the film, he makes commercial for the films! The shot in the film is also shown as a billboard, or the cover of a DVD. The whole idea with some people aveniging the whole weapons industry is so surreal, and without all the things and stuff that exists in the film, it would not have worked, you would not have believed how they could get such things to where they got them, or how they could pull some stunts. The tone of it was fun, but with a dark undertone that people DO get killed in war, and that war is never beautiful. The war Bazil and his friends are fighting with the weapon dealers, are just as bad, just hidden under fun incidents.
A very good movie, and all of Jean-Pierre Jeunets french movies should be seen, they are usually awesome, even though some most probably would see them as a bit odd, and weird but if you like one of them, you will probably like all of them.
Well, furter on with the weekend...
Sunday: Book fair today, walking and walking and walking. Unfortunate, I didn't find any good books, a few films and the Mr bought me my Christmas present, a doctoral dissertation that I had as course literature this summer, which I could have a lot of use for when I do my own Bachelor's degree. Well, not as much fun as last year, but I got some valuable tips on Photoshop, which I will be trying next time I have time to do some photoshopping (most probably on wednesday).
So this weekend I have really only done things and learned thins revolved around things I love, books, film, the Mr, photoshop.
I have to say, life is just great at the moment, I hope they continue like this for a while, and that my oral examination will go alright tomorrow, I really don't feel prepared enough for it at the moment, and a horrible head ache is sneaking up on me! Uh oh!
Well, I'll see you in a day or so as I will have to read quite a lot these following days!
Bye!

A vampires way
Ok, I decided to take this topic to write about something I dislike. I will try and keep an open mind about it, but in the end, I don't like it anyway!
The subject is.. Twilight!
(So this is not an "I Love Twilight thing, nor is it an "I hate Twilight thing, but just thoughts that I have had on peoples arguments to the pros and cons of the book, feel free to ask if you have any questions or I am unclear, also im not pro phedofilism, necrophilia or animal sex or anything like that! If you think that please leave immidaitley because then you're probably just out to read about anti-twilight stuff and this is an "open minded, im listening to both sides" kind of post)
After being sat reading almost every post at www.mylifeistwilight.com and laughing my head of as I seriously lose hope in humanity.
I'll be discussing the main things of the pros and cons of the books and the films, (yeah, I have read all four books, once and I have seen both movies, twice (and thats just because they got Cam Gigandet and the guy who plays Carlisle is kinda good looking).
Ok.
no 1 - The texts are poorly written.
Yeah they are, Stephanie Meyer is not a very talanted writer, there are a lot of repetatings, or re writings of the same idea. The whole book's about how good looking Bella think Edward is and stuff, yeah, I can deal with that at the beginning of a relationship when you're in love, but after 3 books of it, where they have been together for 3 years, yeah, it's kinda getting old.
And the fact this actually is her wet dreams, well, I can't say this or that, it might just be a publicity stunt to get more readers and more attention to her, but if it is, that's just gross!
no 2- Edward is an abusive boyfriend and Bella brings feminism back 100 years.
Well, the fact is that they are just as bad as each other, Bella is using mental abuse on Edward too, she forces him to do stuff and says she thinks he don't love him so that he will keep telling he loves her and stuff. And leaving a girl, that's not un common, everytime a man or a woman meets someone they fall for and getting left in the "in love" phase it feels like you've lost your soulmate and the fact, you might like someone else or someone else likes you, yeah thats normal, not a "Bella-Edward-Jacob" state, that stuff happened so long before this darn books became published! Also, the stalking bit where he sits at her window, yeah creapy, but, I mean... If you always fall asleep efter your partner and are lay watching him, wouldn't that count too? Or I don't know, I don't think I would like someone sitting outside my window watching me sleep, but he did tell her kinda early and stopped, some might say hes a stalker, some not. I really don't have a strong opinion on that to be honest.
one thing we have to think of here is that Edward died in the beginning of the 1900's or something, and was brought up with different values than we have today, and even if you say he should change, some things are hard to change, and always helping Bella and stuff can be linked to chivlary. But Bella takes it just one step to far (and this is important, im not a big feminist, as Im tired of to many girls taking the feminism to far and don't let the guys get any space. Yeah Chivlary died and feminism killed it, partly). And this is also, a thing about Edward being born in the .. Well, long ago, he was probably brought up to be a gentleman!
Well, bottom line is: Edward was brought up in a way, even if he could change to be modern, some things, some values you keep for all your life, Bella takes the vain lady a bit to far, but some girls are afraid to stand on their own feet, and women ARE allowed to be as they feel like, not everyone has to be independent, thats their own choise. I would never behave like that personally, and I prefere girls who will not be independent on their guys, but if Edwards brought up that way and Bella likes it, whatever.
no 3 - Phedofilism, necrophilia, animal sex (not sure what the word for that is).
Do you actually SEE or READ Jacob does anything to the vampire baby? I can't see it in any case. Well, the idea is weird, but, in my world, phedofilism is when you touch a baby, do sexual tings to it, takes naked photos of it and that sort of stuff! And actually the thing about Jake being a wolf and calling it animal sex or something, thats just stupid, then you should not watch any vampire/werewolf movie ever made. No one actually has sex in the book except Edward and Bella, not as we know of at least (or, not that I noticed are the right words for that I guess) and that comes to the necrophilia, well, again, don't watch any vampire movie ever made, especially not Buffy the vampire slayer. Because almost everything in the Twilight series is ripped from there.
The List of things that happened in Buffy before Twilight:
*A human and a Vampire falls in Love: Buffy - Angel (has sex) & Buffy - Spike (has sex, multiple times)
*"Abusive Boyfriend": Spike tries to rape Buffy in the end of the series (Season 6 I think)
*The Vampire leaves the heart broken Human who finds a new dark creature - Angel leaves Buffy heartbroken and she turns to Spike.
*The vampires and Werewolfs don't kill each other: In Buffy, Oz don't kill Spike or Angel even if he probably would have wanted to if he could, and Jake don't kill Edward
*Vampires not drinking human blood because of "soul": Angel got cursed with a soul, Spike got first a chip then he wanted a soul on his own so they didn't kill humans, they lived of pigs blood.
Well, those are the things I can come up with right now, I have had other stuff on my mind, but this is enough I think.
List of things S. Meyer forgot when creating her vampires ( I dont care one bit if it came to her in a dream)
1. Vampires BURN in the sunlight, not sparkle, that means, they can NOT be outside at day even if it's cloudy.
I won't give you anymore reasons, all I say is read Dracula, Carmilla and watch Buffy and you will see how a real vampire works!
I really hope this whole post makes sense now.
Ok, I don't like Twilight, I think it's a poorly written piece of litterature, with unrealistic themes and to many repeatings of the same thing. The story is old and not in anyway innovative, but some people are taking both the bad and the good things WAY to far and that makes the whole thing worse as they are competing who will get the most attention, the haters or the lovers.
Feminism is brought back, yeah, an independent woman, but Edwards values are his and Bella likes them, and some feminists today are worse in that way than those anit-feminists are in the other way. Necrophilia? yeah, well then don't like vampires and hate all vampires that exist, but I don't think necrophilia is a good thing, but right now, you who argue for the fact hes a ficitonal person, forgets that he is actually a FICTIONAL person, does the necrophilia count in the same way then? I think thats up to you really, and there is no actuall evidence that Vampires are dead, they are actually UNDEAD and I think that depending on how you see, what theory you have for vampires being created this is an open question, me I think there are more of a virus spread, altering your DNA, mutating it. Animal sex, the Bella - Jake relationship, well, I don't think he knew he was a werewolf, and they are actually not animals, but not human either, so I won't get into that, thats way to complex for me, and the phedofilism, is as said before, not phedofilism until he does something, the imprinting thing could be a way around it, but as said before it's FICTIONAL and there are to many things not being correct for someone to bother about the fact imprinting is impossible, i mean, are vampires possible at all?
People need to before thay say stuff, think of the whole picture.
Me myself I will never read Twilight again as I prefere non-sparkling cool vampires with guns, who kill and drink peoples blood, or try to. I need storys that compete with the mind and are well written and deep.
This is my opinions, Im very open to hear yours and I understand the arguments of both the haters and the lovers side and I really can't be botherd with being either a hater or a lover as I see there is so much more you can do to lif than putting all your energy on that, I only wrote this becasue I want to improve my english and it seems like a hot topic.

2009 Summary
Well... 2009 wasn't that bad of a year was it?
The year started out well with a very nice New Years Seminar in Gothenburg with Ulf Evenås. And some fun events with people being able to touch their toes with their when I was doing koshinage on them!
And a week later I started my fist university course... Studying comics drawing! Not the best of courses, but I got 30 ECTS credits in art. But ofcourse I get stuck with a fever for a whole week in february! But lucky me, I could watch trough all 7 seasons of Buffy The Vampire Slayer then!
And I had the courage to tell someone a little secret ;) Well, not the biggest secret because I think he already knew...
Aikidowise the year followed with a great seminar in Malmö with Lars Göran Andersson and Jan Hermansson! And around this time I lived on my own for the first time as I rented a flat second hand from a friend going to Japan.
When summer came and I finished my course in art and did my 4th kyu examination and it went well. I decided to stay in uni during the summer doing Drama (7,5 ECTS scores) and english creative writing (15 ECTS scores), also had the time for 3 Uchi Deshi weeks with Lasse!
Other than getting to know new Aikido people and getting a few friends in Karlstad (and losing a few) the summer was nice and warm, espcielly the day we had an aikido demonstration in Sysslebäck!
I think thats the best way to get rid of skin under your feet ;p
And taking a bath in Klarälven to cool down ceased in another week of fever... But hey, another week of Buffy wasn't that bad really!
Autumn came sneaking up on me with a very hectical schedule!
First: a new flat.. Bought, which means.. House loan.
Second: Got into 2 different Litterature courses at Högskolan in Halmstad (7,5 ECTS each) 15 ECTS bussiness economics in Karlstad and 7,5 ECTS of animation (which was one of the most amazing courses I have ever taken so far! And of course, a crush on the teacher! ;) hehe
Third: A very hectucal period of 3 weekends on the go, first down to Gothenburg for the Book fair, the weekend after down to Halmstad for a very well performed Aikido seminar and the third weekend down to Malmö and Copenhagen for a Green Day concert!
All that happening in the middle of renovating the flat, and the autumn turned out rather hectical, and Aikido also got a bit hectical with around 20 kids at each childrens class! Which on the other hand have been extremely fun!
The autumn went past in about the same pace, and christmas came. Ending the year with a surprise examination for 3rd kyu and a Christmas seminar at Arvika Aikido Dojo the year ended quite well.
Now I have no expectations for the new year, I think it will be about the same as the year that has already been, but hey.. I'm gonna rock even harder this year!!!
