Hello! How are you today? I am on my 4th day of a constant headache, not very fun… However, after a very long day at work yesterday, I came home to find this on my bed:
A package from my mum! It totally made my whole evening. I ripped it open, and I found these wonderful things:
Some swedish chocolate, swedish candy, a keyring (???) and contacts! I have the best mum in the world I have to admit. Even if she is a bit annoying from time to time… Anyways, I thought I would share. Will be back a bit later, but now I need to shower. Have a wonderful day! Orsi x
Wu-Tang Clan - C.R.E.A.M.
Classic song… Just thought I would share before I hit dreamland. Night!
Hello! Nice surprise that so many of you commented on my last post!!! It made me so happy!!! This is how I feel about your recent commitment to my blog:
Orsi likes this!
Also, very strange but great thing happened today as I went down to The Bean with my boss to get a cup of coffee. I bumped into this little creature:
Charlotte
Yeah that’s right, I bumped into Charlotte! I haven’t seen her for maybe 2 years! Oh and she doesn’t look like that any more, that picture was taken maybe 5 years ago (SHIT!!) but it is one of my favourites. For all of you less informed, me and Charlie went in the same class at the IB back home in Sweden. She studies at St. Martins now and apparently works for ACNE Jeans, who have offices just around the corner from where I work! Indeed a very nice surprise and it felt great to have a quick catch up.
And if that wasn’t enough, I have been having crazy cravings lately. Like my INSANE broccoli craving all day today (I came home and had the biggest bowl of steamed broccoli and soya sauce, yum yum yum!), or my huge olive binge this weekend. Some other random things I have been craving like mad lately are pickled vegetables, McDonalds strawberry milkshake, grapefruit juice, and mackerel in spicy tomato sauce. NO I AM NOT PREGNANT! I’m just craving weird stuff…
Anyways, time to crawl into bed. Got home 2 hours ago and I am exhausted! OH! I just remembered I’m getting paid tomorrow! Wohoo! Although, my wage is nothing to scream and shout about, stupid tax! Haha, enough. I hope you’re all well. I shall reply to your comments in the previous posts comment space. Much love and keep commenting!!! I’m loving it! Orsi x
Good evening my dear friends! How has your day been? Mine was nothing special to be honest. However, I did receive a great mix that made me in a much more cheerful mood. The opening track was this song:
Aim - Let The Funk Ride
And if you are Swedish, and you actually listened to the song/video above, then you might know what it made me think of. Yes that’s right, it made me think of this song:
Timbuktu - Det Löser Sig
It put the biggest smile on my face… And it made me miss home a bit. Maybe Easter won’t be that bad after all. Oh well, we shall see. Now I really need to go to bed. Sweet dreams!
Hello! Sorry for bad updating again! Gaaaah! I need to get my act together… I’ve been thinking about spring a lot. I got a taste of it this Saturday and now I want more! The song of the day has a bit of a spring feeling to it. Or at least I think it does.
Oh! And I have some exciting news! I am going to Australia! The ticket was booked yesterday and I will be flying out in the middle of May. I am so nervous I feel sick (but in a good way, I hope). Me and flying equals a bad combination. I freak out on 2 hours flights to Sweden… Hopefully I won’t freak out and scream OH MY GOD WE ARE ALL GONNA DIE, although that is usually what goes through my mind at the slightest turbulance. Haha, I can be so silly sometimes. But, I don’t want to die…
So yes, that is as good as it gets I’m afraid. Besides that it is just work work work. Getting paid Friday, and I need to book my flight home for Easter. That will be an experience too… Not booking the flight but going home. However, that is a long story that I will share a bit later. Now I need to shower and head to work. Hmmm, what to wear?… Oh well, I hope you have a lovely day! Much love, Orsi x
After a week with some beef with the internet gods, I have been able to upload the latest podcast! I was asked to compile a jazzy hiphop one, and of course, I rose to the challenge and started digging in my little music collection to find some delicious tunes that you guys might like. Its been done for almost a week now, and I would say there is a little bit of old, little bit of blue, little bit of new and little bit of borrowed music in there. Although people who know their hiphop would most probably say that it is packed with some classic songs. I even tried it out at work the other day, where I got the response “Where you even born when most of these songs were out!?”. My answer to that was: “You’re never too young to appreciate good music”. So I hope you enjoy!

Just got back from the park. It was very nice to finally be able to spend some time outside. Especially in the sun. I could almost smell spring in the air (you know that smell? It is wonderful!). All the kids running around, playing and screaming and giggling. Went and bought myself a coffee, sat down on a bench and just absorbed it all. I feel much better today (thank god!). This week, health and strenght wise, has been very bad. But I think it helped to just go outside, clear my head, and just be. I like just being… Right, I need to go and do some food shopping! Smell ya later.
Afternoon! I just woke up with sunshine filling every corner of my room. I am excited, I haven’t seen the sun for quite a while. Need to jump into the shower, head down and pay my rent, might stop and have a coffee in the park and just enjoy the lovely weather. Need to write some things I haven’t been able to write this past week. Although I will be back tonight, have no fear! I hope you have a nice day! Much love, Orsi x
Hello dear friends.
Sorry for the rubbish updates. Things just haven’t really been on my side this week. I have been swamped with work, but also, my illness with my stomach has become really bad. Which has lead to that I have spent most of this week in horrible pain, not getting much sleep at all, and as a result just been really exhausted and tired. And if that wasn’t bad enough, my internet connection has started to fail me once again, leading to the horrible fact that I haven’t been able to upload my latest podcast (which by the way is fucking amazing and I can’t wait to share it with you all!)
I don’t have anything exciting to share. I have basically been a copy of death this week, not really doing anything apart from working, crying and sleeping. However, I don’t think this whole being ill and in pain thing suits me very well. And it frustrates me that I can’t be my normal happy self. So obviously, some ‘drastic’ actions have to be taken. As many have pointed out this week, I should go and see a doctor, which makes perfect sense I guess, I just don’t really like them since they’ve never been able to help me in the past. But I will get my act together and book an appointment for next week. And of course, there are a lot of other things I need to deal with as well. Although I shall spare you from all the boring details, and instead reassure you that the podcast will go up sometime tomorrow (if the internet gods are on my side).
I hope you have a lovely weekend! Much love! Orsi x
It has been a very long day and words can’t express how tired I am! So instead of words, I thought I would share a great song and video by The Pharcyde. The shower and my bed is calling… and for once, I think I will listen. Hope you’re all well! Orsi x
