Oh, hello there Toronto! Nice to finally see you again, even if it was only for 10 hours or so. I haven’t blogged for a couple of days, and part of the reason was because we bought a ticket with United Airlines. United, you broke my Taylor guitar! Ok, you didn’t. (You did break Dave Caroll’s guitar though, see video below.) But you did lose my luggage, hence no blogging for moi.

(We went from Tokyo through San Francisco, had to grab our bags and recheck them because that is the way ‘Murica works. So we rechecked them in San Francisco, and jumped on the plane to Toronto. Unfortunately, our luggage didn’t make it onto the plane. We waited at the airport in Toronto, hoping that United would follow neat rules of logic and send the luggage on the next plane to Toronto. They didn’t. This wouldn’t have been terrible, if it wasn’t for the fact that we were going on another flight to Northern Ontario the next morning. And I felt quite… unrefreshed after 24 hours of traveling with no access to clean clothes. Air Canada was nice enough to give us a small overnight kit which even had a deodorant stick. A lifesaver! Thank you Air Canada! In any case – lost luggage isn’t the worst thing in the world. I’ll survive.)

Åh, jeg husker barndommen da alle de voksne snakket om hvordan ting var bedre før i tiden, og jeg sukket og okket og kavet og tenkte at nei sånn, sånn skal jeg aldri bli. Altså en sånn person som mimrer i timesvis over barndommens enkle gleder. Likevel har jeg nå tatt meg selv i å bruke to timer av mitt liv på denne bloggen, fineminner.blogspot.com, og jeg har lest om alt fra Disneys Eventyrbånd (Tussi feirer fødselsdag!) til Nancy Drew, og har med jevne mellomrom både gryntet og laget lyder i form av små *hviiiiiin*. Hvem kan vel glemme Kræsj PINK-is med tyggis i pinnen (herregud så klissete jeg ble på fingrene), eller is med Tyrkisk Pepper. Egentlig virker komboen av salt lakris og iskrem ikke særlig forlokkende, men for den 7 år gamle versjonen av meg selv var det 7 minutes in heaven, altså. Fyttegrisen. Gi meg barndommen tilbake.

God sommer! Spis en norsk is for meg også 😉

It’s Saturday. But I forgot to post this on Thursday, and I am in holiday-mode, so I am posting it now instead. I was looking through the archive, and I can not believe it has been five years since this picture was taken. Jeez. Time flies. I guess five years have left me with less eye makeup and less lipstick.

Holiday makes everything go slow and I am not sure if I like it or not, because I end up doing a lot of random things at random times (hence the box I painted for no reason, or my face I painted for no reason, or the doodles I doodled for no reason..). In any case – I decided to learn how to make snowflakes. The real deal, with six points! (Not the silly ones with 4 or 8.) I found a video by Vihart and I had to try it myself. Nothing like festive christmas decorations in July.

I love kaledioscopes.

… I… just… what? I have no idea what I just watched, but it was delightful, so I had to share it! This is one of the reason why I love Japan.

最近iPhoneのSiriさんと話した。笑。
