No supermodels...

at the conference... Or there's this one guy who shows up at these things and just sits there quietly looking like an Italian male model. Anyway, I didn’t pay much mind to my looks (or his) after I arrived, there were too many interesting things going on. I got loots of food for thought, and I spent the whole lunch hour talking to a very interesting Swedish professor! All those travelling hours were worth it just for that conversation’s sake. Other then that my asthma keeps getting better, but I still don’t feel much like exercising. Hopefully I will get there soon.

I'm feeling a lot better...

since getting the new "drug" from my homeopath! It's really working! My energy is up, but the desire to exercise is zero... Guess I have to give it a little time. Like she said (my homeopath), "you're exhausted". So... focusing on wellbeing for now, the weight will have to wait. ;)

It's funny...

how little things can make you feel good. Yesterday I got a new phone. Not because I wanted to, but because the old one bailed on me, it stopped making any sounds at all, no ringing, and no voices could be heard. That's not good when you're a phone, so now it's history to me. My new one is a Sony Ericsson W595 Walkman. I just bought it because it was the best deal. Now I'm beginning to think it's the IDEAL phone, I'm kinda in love. Also I've had a good time helping junior with his homework today; a power point presentation about Australian crocodiles. :)

I had planned ...

to lose some weight before going to my next conference, but am I really up to it? Not sure. This will be my last chance in a while to mingle and what not. According to the party lady I went to hear yesterday (not specifically her though) that’s the way you do it. I honestly don’t think she’s completely right about that. The party lady is a literature/film master (yes, BOTH), ethnologists and museum people probably care more about what you can DO. Or at least I hope so…

Career day

Thank you "Me" from Big Happy Beautiful for the encouragement, unfortunately it didn't turn out quite the way I had planned it, or envisioned more like...

OK, so this lady speaker’s forte was her talent of partying (getting drunk) and buddying up to writers at literature festivals. That’s what she said anyway. She did have two masters though, but according to her who you know is of the upmost importance. “Spend a lot of time at student cafés and party a lot”. You also had to study hard and publish as much as possible all over the place… I was wrong about how many would show, obviously a lot of lecturers had mentioned it, the hall was packed. The guy I wanted to talk to did his thing and disappeared, and I couldn’t very well run after him. Or, I could have, but I don’t think it would have accomplished what I was after. All in all not what I was hoping for.

OK, this is me beeing ironic. I love partying, but right now I try focusing on my masters, and besides, I'm an old married woman. (This is obviously from some tabloid)

Here's hoping...

My homeopathy meds are working nicely, that is... the "stuff" I'm getting now is supposed to bring suppressed anger to the surface - and it does. The thought is, as far as I understand that suppressing anger does things to your body, bad things, and that we do not want. SO now I have outburst of anger MANY times a day... FUN. Actually it feels quite good, and the anger is mostly directed at one person, and though he is in pain I feel he can take some heat. I mean I've been listening to him for about 6 months now, complaining and whining. OK, enough of negativity already! There's a career thing at uni tomorrow and I've been spiffing up my CV and will try to give it out to a representative from (MY favourite!!) museum and my favourite radio channel. I only received the mail about it today, so hopefully not too many people will show. If it's not too awkward I will try to give at least those two people my CV. Here's hoping... Now I just have to google the people to be prepared. :)

Stopping by...

JUST STOPPING BY to let you “all” know that I’m alive. My life is quite stressful at the time being. Toe-guy is being especially tiresome. Luckily I’ve found a new homeopath, and she seems to know her stuff. I already feel a little better. Some of my allergy symptoms have subsided a little. AND she made me promise to quit the cola light. Being without the CL has made my head feel terrible all day, but hopefully the head will feel better in the morning, 2 days into “detox”. What I’m trying to do is to get some of (hopefully a lot of) my energy back. No chance of dieting or exercising when you can hardly manage to get home from work..

Me is mullet head :)

Took the leap. I’m a mullet head now. Brought picture of Joan Jett and got this:


Bangs for the first time this century. I'm quite happy with it. :D

How to dress like Joan Jett

Just checking in. When I spotted a person actually searching for ”how to dress like Joan Jett”, I just had to log in to give a little help. Most people who reach my blog want to know about running, or usually; how to dress like Blair Waldorf. Like I said earlier, I don’t give a toss about BW. My childhood Idol was Joan Jett, and other tuff chicks like her. So here’s a link, and I may have to get back to this later.
