Changed layout :D

I changed my layout.

Sorry I haven't been around for the last couple of days but I've been extremely busy with my Asian shows with watching Smiling Pasta. It's sort of decent. It was very addictive but now as I'm approaching the end, as it is with a lot of Asian dramas, it becomes quite tiresome, but we'll see. It makes me wanna rewatch ISWAK.

I'm really happy about the approaching start of Gossip Girl episodes. These pictures make me so happy (spoilers I suppose but since it's sort of vague and out of context and just pictures I wouldn't say that they are high up on the spoiler scale). Damn GG for being such a pretty cast.

Also, I'm trying to work out how to start vlogging, or at least I hope so. The problem is that I babbel and since I'm holding the cellphone while I talk, it's sort of difficult to like... express emotions because you're sort of watching yourself while you talk and that's a weird experience. Definitely not to be recommended ;)

Also, there's some drama going on with my mom that's sort of made me a bit absent from LJ business, but hopefully you guys understand. We'll see if I feel like explaining.

Tomorrow I'll start that whole "blog about something you usually don't talk about" thing and then you'll get your answers ;) For those who want me to comment on something, you just need to go back one or two entries and comment there, or comment in this post :D I'd love more and more subjects to talk about :D

I'm gonna try and catch the two last episodes of Moonlight now.

Swedish literature and great music

I've decided to rewatch It Started With A Kiss (check it out on YouTube, y'all! :D) because it's so extremely lovely. ♥ I also came across this icon - pretty ship, non? :D

Edit: I've forgotten how much Zhi Shu's mother owns. Seriously. She kicks butt ♥ Also, Ariel sort of looks like a goldfish, I think - she's really adorable :P

Anyhow, I think I'm going to watch an episode or two and then I'm going to read some from Stieg Larsson's "Flickan som lekte med elden" ("The Girl Who Played With Fire") - the prologue was really disturbing, which I think really shows what an awesome writer he was (one of my favourite Swedish authors, if not the favourite) but I can't help but groan every time he writes the male character. God, he's such... Why is it that every Swedish author feels like creating some sort of... Casanova when it comes to their male characters? They have to be all butch, women have to fall all over them etc. and it just... bothers me. Male characters in Swedish literature are stone cold in Swedish literature, they are filled with domestic problems (usually going through a divorce or children that doesn't want to speak with them, which they are usually fine with), they've had at least one office romance and the person still caries a torch for them somehow etc.

*groan* Swedish (adult) literature is so unimaginative, but when it comes to the crime bits and writing the female character, I think Stieg Larsson really manages to write extremely well.

Also, I think everyone should listen to this ♥

It's a Swedish group who's called Nordman. They are amazing and my mother (and the rest of my family) are huge fans. It doesn't matter if you understand the words (even if they are awesome) - just listen to the voice *drool*
