Sitting here on the couch listening to Fairtytale of new york and trying to ignore the sounds of Isabel packing the last of her belongings in the next room. Even though it's only been a couple of months, it feels like we've known each other our whole lives.

My darling moosabel, I'm going to miss you so much. Not much more I can say - I know we will see each other soon again. All you need to know is that I love you

As many parisians, I spend a lot of my time on the metro. The other day I started making all kinds of lists in my head to pass the time, this is the result of list nr 1!

Activities to make people look at you funny on the metro...

- Say bless you in swedish to a sneezing stranger

- Take someones sandwich, while they're eating it

- Play the Metro game (a sort of music charades game)

- Dance around one of the poles to "In love with a stripper"

- Hang up side down, also using one of the poles

- Share very juicy gossip in swedish, only to hear the guy next to you say excuse me - in swedish - when he wants to get past you

- Get off while the train is still moving, fall flat on your butt and bounce up and down a couple of times

- Pretend that you work for RATP and check everyones tickets

- Make zombie noises when the lights go out


And yes, I assure you, all of these are real life experiences.

It's not often I recommend movies here, but now I feel that I have to. Went to see the little movie Kaboom last night, with no grand expectations at all - let's just say, the trailer does not do it justice at all.

It completely flipped out after about 20 minutes, out of nowhere it became some sort of comic/horror/drama story, it was funny, scary and the colours and effects were amazing!

See it!

Todays to do list:

Work (x)

Fix pants (x)

Cut my own hair (x)

Lunch ( )

Movie? ( )

I seem to surprise myself every day this week, three early mornings in a row and I'm still standing! Let's all give me a great round of applause, shall we?

I took the bus home from work today. It took over an hour, but it was lovely. Looking at the city passing by, with nothing but my own thoughts to accompany me. It feels so reassuring to see that the leaves are starting to change colors, that autumn is here and that the one thing you can always be sure of - is that, just like the seasons, life changes.

Not gonna go all deep and sentimental on you guys now, so I'm logging off and going for dinner at a dear friends place instead.

Talk to you later lovers

More cred to amazing Eva Ferrière !

This past week has been the best one in a long time. Guns n' Roses (yes, I'm still in some kind of ecstasy), dinner at Buddha Bar, great parties and last but definitely not least - a proper photoshoot with a very talented photographer!

Check out her work at evaferriere.com!

Walking home in the sun, with yesterdays stinking partyoutfit still on. Realizing that your pantyhose are even more ripped now, making you look a bit more like a prostitute. Smeared makeup, hair in a messy braid.

After ten minutes walk among tourists and cutsie (f-ing) couples discovering that your metro pass isn't charged, your credit card is at home, you don't have a cent in your bag and the metro is full of cops.

No headphones for your iPod and sunglasses left in another bag.

Oh, did I say that the wonderful stroll home would take around 45 minutes?

Fucking bullshit day.

Today I felt like a real family girl - got up at 8:30, had coffee while reading the paper online then off to work. Watching a kids movie, making lunch for three, off to the bowling alley. A bit more kid watching, then got home to a completely super-cleaned apartment (emilia - you're my hero!), cooked dinner for two and am now relaxing with music and chatting to darling Isabel.

I feel like a grown up today!

Spent a lovely, sunny afternoon by Paris Plages and strolling around le Marais with sweetpea Isabel who just got back to Paris.

The evening is unusually un-eventful - just me at home, alone, with nachos and movies. Trying not to get too restless...
