Outro (sleep tight)

I am finally finished with my design for my coming website I'm doing for my Communications-class. Just some small adjustments left. And this is my first attempt in doing a website design for several years , but i'm pretty satisfied anyway :). I tried to make it as simple as possible, didnt want anything fancy for my portfolio-site. Now I just have to create it in Dreamweaver, but thats another story.

Last Friday me and some friends were at Karin's place. She and her friends have an awesome house, with a pool n stuff. Imagine yourself a house in LA or something, with the typical pool everybody swims in, except that nobody was swimming in it..except a pair of flip flops, a plastic duck and a beer bottle.. but anyway!

Its now 6am, time to sleep a few hours and then wake up and write whyy i chose to design my website like i did, and then send it in.

I would love to hear some feedback on the website :)

PS: Kent's new album has arrived! I think it takes a couple of "listen troughs" (?!) before it's great, but it has a lot of good songs on it and a different sound from the last album, I love the synths!

I ordered the Limited Edition-album, it's gonna be fun to see that.. when I get home to Sweden :O

EDIT:

Started on this pic yesterday inbetween doing my homepage design. Made it just for fun though and got it finished today. When I think of it, it could serve as a business card! Awesome!

We're all wearing masks

Finally im done. It took a long time to first develop and then print the pictures. Then I scanned the negatives and processed them. The first three pictures are the ones I handed in for my photo work assignment. I made a test picture a couple of weeks ago to get a feeling of what I wanted and it turned out pretty much the same.

My teacher really liked them so I'm really satisfied with the pictures considering I lost half a roll of film with the best pictures on them... Stupid camera :p..

But anyway, here they are:

I'm lying Under the Milky Way with music from Solaris

The "Angel"-drawing from my notebook, the background is from a cardboard-sheet I got in my room. Thanks to Carro S. for the disease-names and inspiration :).

Todays shoot went ok, but I'm really unsatisfied with the entiry idea so I'm gonna go into the city tomorrow and shoot the last eight pics on the roll and hopefully find something interesting that I can use and at least get a credit pass.

Tomorrow I have to hand in an application form about living here next year and during the summer break. It's summer here soon, so weird :S. But yeah anyway, I'm gonna live here for next semester but try to move out after a month or so coz Im pretty sick of this prison cell! Gah!

I also hope that I will get an answer from the Student Exchange people. I sent them an email last friday about studying abroad in Hongkong or..JAPAN! :D

I can't wait to go!! I have been dreaming about Japan all weekend. I think it's pretty hard though to go there and study the stuff I study here coz they dont have so many schools that teach in english. But, hope for the best and maybe they got something I could do there. I would be happy just to be living there and doing nothing :)... (and it maybe sounds weird that I can't wait to go to another country when I'm actually in frikkin australia buuut.. Yeah that's the way it is, I have absolutely nothing against Australia :). But if I can get a chance to go to my dream country I'm taking it).

Last night me and Bei watched Donnie Darko - The Directors cut. The first time I thought it wasnt as good as the original studi cut but, wow. I got so impressed by the movie again. It was a little easier to understand this time when you could read the text from the book Grandma Death wrote and the new/switched around music was pretty good also. But I really miss The Killing moon from the original cut in the beginning of the movie. I also think they have improved the cutting a bit and the audio and visual effects. This version also got more scenes for other characters, as for example, Donnies shrink, his parents and his relation to his sister which gives them a bit more depth.

After that we had a loong talk about everything and a little more, which I really needed, got in better mood after that, thanks Bei!

Using a green ruler and a redfilter.

Tonight, was, crap. But I talked to my old friend Åsa on skype which was fun. Havent talked for such a long time, I miss her. What else did I do? I watched Night at the museum and Royal Tenenbaums again! I really wanted to watch Escape from New York but I just wasnt in the mood. I wasnt in the mood for anything actually... Dont know why I just get like that sometimes down here. But I got some pics done in PS, just for fun though. Tomorrow I'm gonna develop the pictures from yesterday.

 I Hagnestahill blinkar TV-ljusen
Jag gör vad jag kan
Drömmer mig bort
I Hagnesta hill
Bland dem identiska husen
Rycker vi till
Reklamen avbryts för sport

Ingenting
Först kom ingenting
Sen kom ingenting
Sen kom ingenting
Men ingenting är (ingenting, inget, inget)
Ja, ingenting

Dem jävlarna tog oss en efter en
Dem ljög och bedrog oss med sanningen
Dem jävlarna tog min älskling där
Från krönet av kullen kan jag se
Min förlorade värld

Jag ska göra nånting
Jag ska slå er med häpnad
Gå över en gräns
Jag ska bryta mig ut
Jag älskar dig så
Som att vara beväpnad
Och under belägring
Kan jag skjuta dig ut

Ingenting

Everything else disappeared... except the music

Short translation: I was just gonna practise a bit on doing a magazine layout. But I took the change do to a blog post of it also haha. The photoshoot was canceled yesterday coz one of my models was sick unfortunatly. But no worries, we shot today instead. Unfortunatley we went a little late and missed some of the georgous light at around 5-6pm. Gonna develop the pictures this weekend to see if they are all crap or not. But i think i got som pretty good pictures.

I used a black&white Ilford Hp-5 ISO 400 roll and used a red filter to make it more contrasty, coz I love contrast :)..

Joakim and Phoebe was the models again, and they got to wear cool white masks :D. Naufal helped me by taking some behind-the-scenes-pics! :D Gonna shoot the second picture in the weekend if everybody got the time, they all got their own assignments to do aswell.

After that me and Phoebe went to one of the best korean places in town. We ordered dumplings, honey chicken and some kind of fried rice. I tried a really good wine that was called Jail Bird. It tasted like apple juice but it was wine haha.

It's not so much time left on this semester, just four weeks left. Times move fast and then i will be back home in sweden again...

(then i talk a little bit about the design of the layout haha,..)

Sorry for the short translation but i'm really tired and going to bed now! :)

It's okay...

"THERE IS AN IDEA OF ******: SOME KIND OF ABSTRACTION.
BUT THERE IS NO REAL ME, JUST AN ENTITY, SOMETHING ILLUSORY..."

Correction fluid+paper. Invert in PS. Tadaa!

Today me and PaigeoOo went to Ikea. I really needed some swedish way of life haha. I bought some candy, meatballs, strawberry jam, a tooth brush cup, light bulbs, a tea(sil?), potato sallad and a cool looking box with two drawers.

School has started again after two weeks of joy and playtime (and schoolworktime). It feels kinda crappy. More assignments and a little more stress. Yay!

But this weekend was fun, me and some friends were at Perth Royal Show, which is like Grön Lund but bigger and they have more stuff of everything. Like shows and they sell all kind of different stuff. I went on a "Fritt Fall" for the first time. Wow what a thrill. It went so fast!

We enjoyed the whole day there. The sun was burning and we walked around alot so I got really tired and I burnt my nose haha. It was all red when I came home haha, Rudolf med röda mulen sort of :p.

Actually, I have never really enjoyed amusement parks. I must miss some kind of sympatic emotion normal people have for these kinds of stuff. Clowns for example, are just scary, and the rides that goes round and round is just not my sort of thing. And I dont mean the Ferris wheel, I mean the stuff that goes round-and-round-until-you-puke--kind of stuff.

The place is also packed with annoying people who try to sell you all sort of crap to you. Another thing that's scary, is like happy happy children pling plong music. Teletubbies stuff! Brrrr I get the shivers haha. But, I really enjoyed the company so it was a really nice day after all :). we also went on those boat-down-the-waterfall-rides. That was so fun! We got soaked but it was worth it and kind of nice considering the heat.

I will update with a link to the pictures in the week.

Speaking of nothing. Here is some everyday erotics.


I have found a really cool magazine that I think I would like really much. It's called CREATIVE - Australian Creative - Inspiration for creative proffesionals. How can it not be good?!


Tomorrow I have another photoshoot for Photo Work. One of the pictures is gonna look like this picture I took on one of the locations I'm gonna use. Phoebe and Joakim is going to be my models again but this time they will wear masks haha, they are gonna look so evil, I love masks... :p

We'll see how it turns out...

Void

They call this winter...

A couple of videos from Cottesloe Beach outside of Perth starring me, Paige and my feet haha. It felt like we were on vacation, people were swimming, surfing, sunbathing and playing on the beach, and they call this winter haha :)

The death of us

Kent-fever! IF you wanna see their new music video, click HERE!

The picture above is taken from one of the locations from the local tour me and some friends went on. I'm gonna update it tomorrow, it's way to late to write about it now. So enjoy the picture above in the meanwhile.

UPDATE 1:

THE PICTURES FROM THE PINNACLES ARE NOW AVAILABLE!!

Press here!!

UPDATE 2:

Me and Phoebe ordered a couple of new Ipod Nanos 3G hehe, got them today!! It looks great! Here are some pictures from every step of... THE UNBOXING... and testing the video :)





The thin lines that is showing in the video isn't visible visible for the eye, it is just because of the different frequencies the camera has. The video quality is as good as the original file is. I love it, I can now watch my tv-shows in my bed the seconds before I go to sleep ha ha.

The display gives of more light a stronger light and the battery life is longer than the 2G Nano. It's even a couple of millimeters thinner than the 2G Nano :D

My 3G Nano is the basic one with 4GB of hard drive.

The cost: 199 AUS Dollars = 1194 svenska kronor :D

Tänd eld på dina tankar

The latest assignment for my Communications and Digital Technology class. We had to make a poster and a ticket for a concert with a band called Quartz. We could take pictures from existing bands so I choose to make Kent pose as the ultra cool indie-band called Quartz. Kent/Quartz, you see the resemblence? :p All the pics are from their website to promote their new album called Tillbaka till Samtiden (as seen in the previous post).

I'm really satisfied with the poster but I didnt have enough time for the ticket unfortunatley, so im not satisfied with the left part of the ticket. But I can improve it later maybe.

Tillbaka till Samtiden

Kent's new single is being released the 17th of september. The song is called Ingenting (nothing at all) and is really good and the album is called Tillbaka till Samtiden! (Back to "our [own] time (age), contemporary period")

I made a little tribute to them with my favourite covers from their albums and singles. I can't wait until the whole album is released!! (17th october)

Check out one of their previous videos from the album Du & Jag Döden (You & me Death)

dreams of things to come?

Joakim's studio pics and some more good shoots from Phoebe's studio session.

So what has happened recently... So many things it's hard to remember.

First of I can tell you about this crazy incident that happened on last Sunday. Me, Phoebe and Sandy were going to Fremantle to enjoy the nice weather and to eat fish and chips. On the train on the way there we sat infront of tihs aboriginal family, one woman 30+, her husband and their son who was around 5ish.

Suddenly the man and son walks away to the other end of the train and the woman is left. All of a sudden she starts to scream at Phoebe! :O She's screaming things like: Stop staring you focking cunt! Focking CUNT!!! and so on..

We sit there completely shocked. I ask Phoebe what she's done and she says she hasnt stared at all. The aboriginal woman continues to scream and suddenly she stands up and walks up to Phoebe and screams even more! Then I realise it's time to do something! I was sitting next to Phoebe but we had our bags between us so I move them away and sit right next to Phoebe and start waving at the woman and says loudly something like: What the hell are you doing? Get out of here!!! And then she backs off a bit but starts to scream at me: Who da fock are you?! Fucking cunts gonna killya cunt cunt blablablablablablablabla... But she she goes back to her seat but continues to say evil evil stuff. I say to Phoebe to just ignore her. She then tries to get sympathy from the other passangers but most of them are laughing at her coz they know we havent done anything wrong.

Then her stop comes up and she leaves the train with her husband and son and continues to call us cunts, she really must love that word.

After that our fellow passengers ask us what happened. One passenger says: Hehe she must like you :D. And an old man says: You handled that good :)

Thanks old friendly man!! :D

Some aboriginals do stuff like that just because they can and they are on drugs/alcohol I've heard. Many teenage girls even starts fights and then call for 20+ aboriginal guys to come and join them in the fight! It's crazy!

I also got a Certificate of Manliness from Phoebe after that :D hahaha! FINALLY! Hero of the day :p

But other than that we had a great sunday. The weather was nice, we went shopping and then ate a really good dinner at an italian restaurant. We first had Fresh mussles in a big bowl with alot of garlic sauce I think. And then we shared a pizza "with the works", with everything on :)..

Yesterday me and Paige went to The Galleria, we both had to buy groceries and I ended up buying half of the clothes in the entire Galleria, I kid you not!!!..okey a little bit :p.. and then food for 100 bucks :S..gonna last me 1½ months or something haha.

But, after I got home I realised that the clerk had put the wrong pants in the bag :S She'd put someone elses pants in my bag instead of the ones I should have. So I had to go back today, Joakim and Paige tagged along.

I returned a pair of shorts and another pair of pants that werent that good afterall, and ended up with a brand new BLACK/WHITE adidas jacket! OH YEAH! FINALLY :D and of course the right pair of pants :).

And then we took something to eat. Me and Joakim ate really nasty sushi, or it wasnt that nasty but it didnt taste any good haha. So..a little nasty.

Next week is Mid-break!! Wohoo two weeks off! but I have two big assignments I have to due after those weeks so, we'll se what I'll be up too :)...

Jag har riktigt flippade drömmar här borta. Får göra en EDIT sen och skriva om dom för nu ska jag gå laga mat! Cya :)
