Yeah, that line, or that song, has been spinning in my head all day and all night… WHAT THE FUCK.

No,okay, seriously. Order’s been restored, Michelle and I skyped for three hours last night while playing computer games. Of COURSE, we got SOME hilarity out of it.

Me: Ahh, feels so good to have six lives!
Michelle: … wait… oh.. okay…
Me: What?
Michelle: I thought you said it felt good to have a sexlife! (Six=Sex)
Me: HAHAHA COULD HAVE BEEN! … OH DAMN YOU BIRD!! DON’T INTERUPT ME, I’M TRYING TO JUMP HERE!
Michelle: Hhahahahahaha
Me: DAMN! THE BIRD KILLED ME, NO MORE SIX LIVES!!! (inga fler sex liv!)
Michelle: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Me: HMPF.
Michelle: WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, YOU JUST LOST TO A BIRD? (Va snackar ni om?! Ja förlora mot en fåååågel!)
Me: …. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Oh oh oh oh. I can only sense madness tonight when I continue Hercules… I NEED to collect the damn passwords.

I’ll be there someday, I can go the distance, I’ll find my way, if I can be strong, I know ev’ry mile, will be worth my while.

YES. For the first time in quite a while, I’ve actually got a plan for this night, and I’ve already gone through half of it.

Whenever I get “close” to a movie I first watch it like 1283172389 times, and after that, I start looking up goofs and trivia, collect it and print it and then watch the movie again, but keeping an eye on especially the goofs, to see if I can detect them. Some of the goofs in Hunchback I had already discovered, but there is a few things I had no clue about and found pretty remarkable! I’m not gonna type them here, because I want to show Michelle these things, and there is a small chance she’ll be reading this, so I’m not gonna spoil it JUST YET. And I also need to detect the last piece, I only saw two out of three of the specific subject…

BUT, why is Aladdin included to this? Well, for the first, the old man being caught in HoND is supposed to be Jafar in his disguise, and the only way to really get a hand of that, I have to watch Aladdin. I have also watched both “Jafars Return” and “Aladdin: King Of Theives” so I figured I’d go with this one as well. You know, completly backwards.

And ok, now the commercials on the VHS is running out, so I have to quit here. Yes, I do watch these on VHS. I love VHS. You don’t need to watch the whole movie, you can stop whenever you want. Naturally you can of course do this on a DVD, but the current DVD player we got, if you press stop, the DVD won’t start where you left it. In that case you’d have to pause it, but if you do, you leave the CD running, leading to you wearing it out. I know most DVDplayers have a feature where you can push stop, BUT. If you eject the DVD, it won’t start where you stopped it, which a VHS will do.

Thats why I stopped HoND right before “Bells Of Notre Dame: Reprise”. It stops there, even if I eject it and watch Aladdin.  And so I can drool a bit over Clopin tomorrow for breakfast.

Listening to the liveversion of this song, from Tokyo 2007. I love when he sings it on Japanese, that’s why I usually put this one on repeat rather than the original one.

Apart from now, I’ve had Steel Panther on instant repeat today. Why is that, actually? WELL MAYBE BECAUASE OF THIS:

The tickets for the copenhagen show is finally set! So now it feels even more official than before. It feels gooo that the concerts are starting to fall in now, I was scared for a while this was gonna be a low year… but then Stala&SO. show up so.. yes. Now I shall return to Aladdin: King Of  Theives and my mushrooms. Yes, I said it. My Mushrooms! Oh Glam sings japanese now… beautiful!

Seriously. I was just sitting around, minding my own business waiting for Michelle to come home. Just using facebook you know.

Seeing Stala&SO updating with new tourdates. Oh cool, even a european tour! Cool stuff man. Lets see if they play in Finland…

Germany…. expected… Belgium… Oh really?…. England… Yeah cool… Sweden… Ok.. OH.

WAIT
WHAT?

SWEDEN? *reads again but closer* HOLY SON OF A CRACKER! Not one, but _THREE_ Swedish dates!!!

I choked my coke and started shaking and yes, crying. I’ve been waiting for this day for six years now. I have seen them live before yes, but this… I never… I never ever expected this to happen.

I’m attending all three gigs, what else? It’s my babyboys, and they are starting to grow up and grow big. That’s why this gets so emotional, you know? You travelled to Finland to see them at On The Rocks, and now all of a sudden… they are at home. It looks like it will be me, Michelle, Argo and Martine doing this little trip, but hell am I looking forward to it!

I never expected this, and I’m still in a bit of ecstasy. Maybe you notice that through my extremly badly written text.

Off Danger Danger’s “Revolve”. Even though it’s not as much as a masterpiece as I find “Danger Danger”, it’s still a brilliant album. Danger Danger is pretty much the ideal band for me.

Today’s been pretty slack, been watching Sleeping Beuty, Hunchback of Notre Dame (no I don’t get tired of it. Not at all) and now I began watching “Aladin and the King of Theives”. I ain’t sure if it’s the original title, but I found a Clopin-tribute video with that very song, from the movie. Thats also the only reason I watched it, because I have over the years continuely been singing that song. “Äru med på det, eller äru en svikare? ” Sad part is, the hideaway the theives have and the way they acted reminded me EXTREMLY much about the Court of Miracles. I think I need to put down the Hunchback for a while before I go nuts. ( I tried to find the thieves hideaway opening on Youtube, but failed. I think you get the picture.)

But talking about miracles, this must be one. I was going through my “mailbox” in my room, where I had alot of old envelopes. One envelope was WELL heavy for being just, you know, an envelope, so I opened up… and this is what I found (in Death to the Martyrs  2:38 melody):

How fantastic isn’t that. Yes I know, it’s “only” 15 sek, but 15 sek is always 15 sek. I have put away money that I’m about to ship out to people from New Years eve, so I’m kinda low on money right now, but thanks to this and to recycling, I could get the pins I wanted on eBay. Like a fucking boss. Paypal also owes me six dollar, so I’d say I’m doing pretty fine so far.

But before I fall asleep on the keyboard like the architecturestudents, I’m gonna hit the bed. I’m actually gonna try to put in for this course in school. Yes.

I found this on the Facebook page “I wish Hogwarts was my school” and figured I’d do it for the blog, since I have nothing. else. to. write. about.

One of Kate Voegles hits, and I think the song is also featured in “One Tree Hill”, which is one of my favourite shows. If not, Kate plays the musician Mia Catalano in the show. Love it to pieces.

I must say, eBay users must be like, some of the kindest persons alive. I recently bought a few  items (which are shipped now, woho!) and today I got an email from PayPal. First I was like SHITSHITSHIT, the payment didn’t go through! But when I read it, I learned that I had gotten some money back from one of the sellers, because the shipping ended up cheaper than it was listed! That is like so kind.

Why is this? Well, basically beacuse this never happens when you use Tradera (Swedish eBay). And I think I can admit myself that I never pay back restshipping, but then again we have a little more “difficult” way of paying on Tradera, on PayPal you just send the money to an emailadress kinda, but when you use Tradera, most of the times, and all of the times when it comes to me, uses simple banktransfer.

Talking about Tradera, I really need to get some more items up there. And whatever won’t sell there, I’ll probably put up on eBay instead. Would be pretty cool to try that out. AND ALSO. When I got the email about my eBay items, I also got an email about my Panthertickets being shipped! I can’t wait.

Alright. Thats about it. Plans for tomorrow shall contain stable, making quick cash and tidying maybe. Yes, sounds gooo to me.

The villian song from Pocahontas. Pretty good, but it doesn’t beat “Hellfire”. Not anywhere.

Not even the fact Ratcliff has the same Swedish voice as Frollo saves him, it just mindfucks me.

Today I could finally finish off the most important missing piece in our Steel Panther trip – the tickets to the Denmark show. I’m not sure if I ever wrote it here on the blog, that we purchased the flight from Oslo to Copenhagen before even getting the concerttickets,which was only so we could make sure to get cheap flighttickets. And we did, but since that was a few weeks (!!) ago, I have been kinda worried that the concert would sell out (seeing the Finland date is sold out) but obviously, it wasn’t and now the tickets should be on their way to us!

The only thing we have left now is… hotel in Oslo, trip TO Oslo and flight home from Copenhagen. The beauty with Copenhagen is that you can flight directly to my hometown, Karlstad from there. Costs a little extra, but it’s hell worth it.

So yeah, anyone attending Cph or Oslo gig, give us a head up and we will meet up! Hoho! AND ALSO. Michelle and I just confirmed we will go to Liseberg to see Alice Cooper, two days before Skogsröjet. Fucking amazing, Alice Cooper TWICE this year! And whats even better is that some Monsterboarders will go there, so it might end up to be a small MB get-together! Fuck yes.

Today I got this sick eager to play a computer game. First I tried out with The Sims 3, which didn’t work, I need to reinstall it again, damn it. And I can’t be bothered.

So I went upstairs to have a look at my “vintage” computergames and after a long while of thinking, I decided to go with BackPacker Junior, simply because I’m badass at the jobs as soundengineer, makeup artist and nurse. However, this game is you know,from ’98 so I wasn’t sure wheter it would work or not. But it did. Until I was gonna select my hometown. I tried it approx five times before I gave up and went upstairs again.

The game I REALLY wanted to play was Disneys Hot Shots Timon & Pumbas TailDance, however, the CD is missing. So that was a no can do. And then I figured I’d go for the old school Roller Coaster Tycoon (the very, very first one!) But that CD was missing too. Where the hell is all my CD’s…

But then, as I digged in the papers and books and whatnot were lying on that desk, it glanced to me. The game, that many,many years ago started my entire interest in the journalistic career. The game who basically educated me in the delicious art of digging up information on whoever you want, the game who taught WHERE to turn and how to do it.

What game is this? Well this game is called just JOURNALIST. I found it pretty randomly amongst my mothers games many many years ago, and after I played it, I decided I wanted to be a journalist for real. And look where I am today. Sometimes, inspiration is found in the most odd places and when you least expect it. I’m glad I came across this game, and it feels well good to play it again, after all these years. Always.

And they say that playing comuptergames are bad for you…
