"why didn't you tell me you had wine, and not coffee?"
"i didn't say i had coffee?"
"but you said you went to 'kaffe bar'?"
"so, that doesn't mean you can assume we went there for coffee?"
"it kind of does?"
conversation with mr angelo after meeting with ash and alana for wine at kaffe bar. a lovely place for coffee, or wine. the guy at the bar was very friendly, and the merlot we had was really nice. i also spotted a very well dressed guy that i just had to snap a photo of. alana says he's there e-v-e-r-y day. the reason we had wine, and not coffee, was for my sake to calm my nerves after a horrible class at crossfit. i have torn my muscles in my right thigh, and my hips are aching sore. will have to take it easy for a while, as i've been pushing myself to hard. not good.

on tuesday evening i went to malmö to be join the shooting of a music video that will be released very soon. it's for dalaplan's new album, and it's going to be so much fun seeing it. we had a blast shooting it, but all i can say that it from now on is going to be hard for me to eat cream sponge cake using a spoon... until dalaplan's first album is released, you can listen to their songs at spotify.

i really do hope that billetto sweden can get going, real soon, and real fast, so that i can try and keep up with all the fun stuff my uk colleagues are doing. like this blog, their billetto digs and the friday mixtapes. if this does happen sooner rather than later, who's up for doing a mixtape with me?
jag hoppas så att billetto sweden ska ta fart, fort som attan, så att jag också kan få leka med roliga grejer så som mina uk-kollegor gör i london. som denna blogg till exempel, och deras billetto digs och inte minst deras friday mixtapes. om detta händer typ jättesnart, vem gör ett mixtape med mig?

on saturday me and the girls from my dk billetto team went to the most fantastic dance perfomance i've been to in a very long time. it was very intense, and i really hope i get to join them in another show sometime soon. they're called new movement collective, and the show is called casting traces - the paper maze.
"inspired by paul auster's seminal novel, "the new york trilogy", this cross genre 45 minute promenade performance invites the audience into a unique dance experience set within an architect designed paper labyrinth.
dance, architecture, film and specially commissioned music meet to create a world of illusion, mystery and shadow play, where nothing is what it seems. touching on the popular themes of detective novels and the modern issues of ever-present surveillance in our cities, the audience explore a giant paper maze, becoming directly involved within the performandce and influencing the transformation of their surroundings."

some very sad roses, i know. but happy flowers or not, these banana pancakes has turned into a really nice habbit, and does get me up in the morning. just not this morning. well, i got up, but then back to bed. now i'm giving true blood a second chance, hoping i will get as hooked as i once was. then, dinner and dance show in carlsberg byen with the billetto girls.

those warm summer winds are gone, and i can't help not to long back to ibiza. long back to mojitos before dinner, and then watching the sun go down across the sea. sunset ashram sure became a favorite! they serve really good food, and treat their customers with live music every now and then. well worth a visit.

back in copenhagen after five fantastic days in stockholm. back at work, trying to connect all the dots from all the meetings we went to. trying to catch up on sleep, and on my training. these next few weeks are going to be so exciting, and i do believe we've started to rock the billetto boat in sweden...
august 16 @ 09.14.
sooner or later urban deli nytorget should give us a discount as we've had at least one out of two meals of the day there, since thursday. billetto invades stockholm and things are moving forward. borrowed this picture of me and peter from rich. if we kicked butt yesterday, today we will kick ass.

arrived in stockholm today, two meetings down and the spirit is on top. it's so scary to throw billetto.se out there, as it's become a little baby of mine. but also a fantastic feeling, as this is what i've been waiting for. crashing at jonas and therese's, enjoying every waken minute i actually get to spend with them. now, bed. tomorrow, more meetings.

pictures from the yoko one exhibition at lousiana. well worh a visit. will do my best and enjoy this wonderful place in every season. colourful autumn, followed by a crisp winter. so looking forward to that!

sunday was as slow as sundays should be. we saw three movies; monsters university, the great gatsby and pawn shop chronicles. monsters university was not as funny as monsters inc. i cried my eyes out in the end of the great gatsby. i totally lost interest in pawn shop chronicles, as it's small stories that somewhat connect to each other, but they only got weirder and weirder, and more and more brutal. hopefully i'll get to see känn ingen sorg when i'm in stockholm later this week.
august 10 @ 21:43.
this weekend has been fun and friend filled. åsa and her ex roomie kirstin are here, and i made sure to treat them with banana pancakes for breakfast. we went to the yoko ono exhibition at louisiana, pictures to come tomorrow.

before moving to copenhagen i was a mpip3 addict. morgonpasset i p3 have kept me company every morning, for many, many years. on and off, as i've travelled and lived other places. but i always knew that it would be there, waiting for me as a warm welcome when i got back. i wouldn't say that i've given up on this wonderful morning show, but at least i've found a complement in dr's p6 beat. great tunes, and less talking. but to be honest, when it comes to tunes, gosh do i miss mtv2 in the late nineties...

i almost started crying at crossfit this evening. went to a mobility class, only to figure out i am not that mobile at all. at least not around my waist. when people were rolling back and forth onto their backs and then up again like a ball, in a i don't know what it's called, i just landed flat on my back and could't get up again. lying with my knees up in the air like a poor beetle turned upside-down, i felt very so weak. so very, very weak. and stupid and un-fit for anything like this. i can't even do sit-ups properly. when i came home i threw a huge tantrum against poor mr angelo, only to have to say i'm sorry and then really start to cry. but it's when you feel that low, you should really look into yourself. what really is wrong here? that i couldn't do what everyone else seemed to have no problem with? no, it's wrong of me to beat myself up not being able to do something, when i should really reward myself for doing so much right. the other stuff will come, but only if i focus on what i can do, and not on what i can't do. and hey, rome wasn't built in one day. i suppose building those abs needed just have to take the time it does. never the less, it's ok to feel low, as long as you try and figure out why, and help yourself getting up again.
började nästan gråta när jag tränade crossfit i kväll. gick på ett mobilitypass, men märkte snabbt att jag inte är särskilt mobil. i alla fall kring midjan. när alla andra rullade fram och tillbaka på rygg som små bollar i en ja inte vet jag vad det heter, landade jag platt på rygg, och kom varken fram eller upp. liggandes där på rygg, men knäna upp i vädret, kände jag mig jättdålig. kass. usel. helt opassande till något som detta. jag kan inte ens göra vanliga sit-ups. när jag kom hem lät jag allt gå ut över stackars mr angelo, för att sedan säga förlåt och på riktigt börja gråt. men det är när man känner sig så nere, som man ska se till sig själv. vad är det som är galet här? att jag inte klarade av att göra som alla andra? nej, det som är galet är att jag hackar på mig själv för att inte kunna göra en speciell grej, när jag borde hurra för att jag klarar så mycket annat. det andra kommer, men bara om jag fokuserar på det jag faktiskt klarar av, och inte det som jag inte kan. och rom byggdes ju inte över en natt direkt. mina magmuskler får helt enkelt ta den tid de behöver. men samtidigt så är det okej att känna sig låg, så länge man försöker förstå varför, och hjälper sig själv att ta sig upp igen.

things that does make me happy:
august 6 @ 08:24.
good morning! after making this smoothie yesterday, i realized i'm not a big fan of adding oranges to something that works perfectly on it's own. orangejuice, yes please. but not in my nectarine/raspberry smoothie. nectarines are so sweet this time of year, but they tend to go bad rather quickly. when they get too soft to have as they are, make a smoothie! two nectarines, half a deciliter of frosen raspberries, a splash of soy milk and a spoonful skyr. mix, and enjoy. the one on the picture has two oranges in it as well. don't add that.

when i came home yesterday i found this bread standing in the kitchen. mr angelo is quite the baker, and i must say that this is something of the best i've ever tasted. due to our new healthy eating, trying to stick to a paleo-fied diet, it only contains nuts, seeds, eggs and oliveoil. rather expensive to make, but i suppose it doesn't even add up to the bags of crisps we would buy throughout the week...

last night emma and anders held a small bbq for me and emmas sister anna. out on the country side, in the house that emma and anders will move to in the future. gosh was i about to burst into tears when we heard these little kittens sqeuak for help, from various tricky places that their mother had placed them on. one we only managed to get out today, but last night this little fellow got all out attention. this morning too, as he finally figured out that the liquid coming out from that glass titty actually was nice to drink. i sure hope they find him and his sisters a loving new home. and don't worry, his eyes are just fine, it's only a tiny infection that most kittens get.

first swim in swedish waters. so so so so cold. but lovely. and refreshing. the sun coming down gave it all a wonderful glimmer and i actually enjoyed it at last.

so, i might be "sist på bollen" as we say in sweden, but as me and mr angelo are trying out a more healthy living after our not so healthy holidays, i could not resist trying out banana pancakes. yesterday i went to crossfit for the first time, so banana pancakes were the perfect treat for breakfast! so easy to make, too (mash one banana, add one egg. mix well. this gives you three small pancakes. serve with what ever topping you'd like, i went for raspberries, blueberries and skyr). i will certainly make this a habbit. good morning!
