… is probably something I’ll be saying a lot later. But right now, it feels like it. And yes, this is another boring Phineas related entry, sorry ’bout that.

But as you know, DisneyChannel’s had these marathons running, and I must say the turn out was pretty good. I caught four previously not recorded episodes, and I could scratch about half my list of all the episodes I needed a back up on. And since the re-run of the marathon is still running, more episodes are to be crossed off.

My friend asked me today in the stable how I could be watching Phineas&Ferb for six hours, or more importantly, chase the episodes like this. But to be honest, I think that’s the fun part. To chase the episodes, to collect them. To see that soon enough I’ll have every episode of that season and so on. I really wanna finish off as much as possible before Season 4 starts, since it’s been hell watching out for these. And considering I’m starting to be sick, I’ll have a lot of Phineas watching to do. And there’s an Animazing marathon with Phineas & Ferb on Friday, so everything’s working my way, I guess.

But now I’m tucked in my new Phineas-sheets, with my Wreck-It Ralph cup, two bags of crisps and no less than FOUR of my favorite fanfics being updated (one of them even got multiple new chapters!). After this heavy week, and not to mention, this heavy day, I do WELL deserve it. And I have a big day tomorrow, so I think I might need to relax a bit with these to get my mind straight.

And oh. This weekend, DC will be hosting a Gravity Falls marathon, both Saturday and Sunday. Guess who’ll be glued to the television? That’s right. ME. And maybe I’ll actually see the episodes in the right order, at last.

Currently preparing for the Phineas&Ferb marathon that’s gonna happen this weekend. Two six-hour long marathons will be running, and they are focusing on Isabella and the Fireside Girls, how that’s now even going to happen, it’s like, what, four episodes or something they are focused on? Oh well, I guess we’ll see!

I still have some episodes I have yet to record, and I also have a list over episodes that are recorded once already, but which I need to get a second copy on. I always make sure to have at least two of every episode, just in case. Except from that damn “S’winter”. Because, I went from not having a single one of that one, and now it’s my most recorded episode. And the sneaky bastard made sure to pair up with episodes I have not recorded otherwise, forcing me to keep every single recording of it. Sneaky, sneaky S’winter.

But yes. I used to hunt episodes every day, but now, when I’m down to about five not-recorded (since the downstairs recorder decided to go russian roulette on the recorded episodes and deleting whatever it felt for) it feels unneccessary to wait every day for the episodes. In those times, these six-hours marathon are fantastic. Even if you may not catch all of the missing episodes, you usually catch at least one or two. Or more importantly for me, I can scratch of A LOT on my “only one” list. Would make it so much easier.

And I’d really wish to be done soon. It’s March now, which means I have to keep my eyes open for “Meapless in Seattle” which are gonna have its premiere now. And soon enough I hope Season 4 will begin too. My Sweet Ride ❤ Travlota-Ferb ❤ Yes. I know I know.  Worst part is, I’m probably gonna be so excited for “Meapless” (since “The Chronicles of Meap is my favorite episode) that I will be SO disappointed. But hey. It’s Phineas, it’s Ferb, Isabella, Candace, Doofenshmirtz, Perry and on top of that – Cutonium, Meap, Mitch and Baloony. Can’t be better.

Talking about Phineas and Ferb… look what I finally got today!

For those of you who doesn’t see, it’s bed-sheets! Been looking at these for ages. And no, I’m not too old for them. I still use Barbie and Pikachu sheets. So beat it.

Okay, I’m finishing up on the preparations now, so I’ll have to finish up this blog too.

I really wish my days were more productive. That I did more than just going up and doing… nothing. Oh well. Today I at least started up with my music-business class, signed up for an exam and prepared to go to work tomorrow by making tomorrows breakfast today. I truly make my life sound so interesting by doing this, huh?

But okay. On the other hand, what I did actually do was to count my cash savings. They are starting to become quite a deal, which is perfect now when we’re going to Italy and all soon. I don’t need to be scared about almost drenching my account when booking, because I know I got a lot of cash to get by once we get there. I kinda hate to travel in the middle of the month.

Like, when you get away, it’s already been two weeks on last months paycheck, and you’re travelling just before you get your next, which leaves in an “in-between” spot where you are, economically, the weakest. Or at least that’s how it is for me. And while checking on my foreign currency, I only had about 2,50 Euros lying around. Damn. This might get difficult. Nah. It’ll be fine. The plane home from Milano is extremely cheap, and the hotel is pretty cheap too, especially if we decide to share it on three people instead of two.

We will do just fine. But I want you to meet someone.

While I was lying in my room, trying to do my schoolwork, my eyes landed on my musical hamsters. You know, these mechanical hamsters that dances and sings? My eyes fell on one in particular. The “Happy Birthday” one. Or as he is now, my Schlager-Hamster.

For every broadcasted show of Melodifestivalen I went to, I have one of these blinking pins. And at some point I started putting them on this hamster, probably because of his convenient “belt”. I was taking him up now for the first time in four years to stick on my newest addition to the collection. It’s a little sad though, they’ve changed the design a lot since last I got one, and the one is just so big and… weird, if you like, next to the others. But I guess I’ll get used to it. We’ll see.

But here he is, at last, the Schlager-Hamster!

But now: Gravity Falls and BED.

Good Night y’all!

I’ve been listening to that song quite a lot lately. Makes me a bit sad, or how to put it. It’s a… not sweet perhaps, but it’s a nice song. Beautiful in a way, “Payphone” beautiful if you know what I mean.

So, it’s been quite some hectic days lately. As you know, I worked at Melodifestivalen, and that was one of the most fun projects I have ever done. I’d LOVE to do it all over again. I just need to re-think everything, write down my own little book on how I’d like to do it to improve it and then write down all the questions I have so make sure to ask them BEFORE we start the whole thing, to avoid the drama. And of course I need to prepare myself a bit better. I was so proud when I thought I could post the Martin Rolinski interview immediately only yo realize I didn’t have photoshop on my laptop, so I had to go home to do it anyway. Haha, I really need to prepare that better.

And while doing this, I was also attending to the last part of the leadership course I’ve been doing. It was… mixed feelings. I love the course, I love these weekends and I was doing the course with the best of people, and it’s really sad that it’s all over now, that we ain’t gonna meet like this again. It’s really, really sad.

Now it’s just time to re-charge I believe. I’m gonna try to get to work for the first time in ages tomorrow, and also try to catch up on long lost schoolwork. The Music-business course isn’t very difficult, I just kinda need to do it you know. And then, when I’ve done a lot of work, I’ll finally allow myself to read my fanfics. Not only one, but THREE + one of my favorite fanfics has been updated, and one of them is a fanfic that doesn’t even get updated regularly. So I got some nice stuff to look forward to. Maybe I should just extend everything a bit further and not read these pieces until Friday night when all is done?

Hah, we’ll see about that. Gravity Falls is on the TV now, I need to get to bed. Gravity Falls will start to air on Disney XD relatively soon, if they haven’t begun already, and I got some mixed feelings about that. I always felt that XD is the trashcan of the channels – there are the shows that either Disney started losing interest in or that they didn’t believe in enough to put on DisneyChannel. Sure, Phineas&Ferb mainly airs on XD, but still. I do to some extent believe that Disney might have grown bored of P&F and throws it in the “trashcan”.

But then again, what do I know about Disney’s hierarchies. Perhaps it’s the other way around.

Anyway. I’ll finish “Tourist Trapper” now and then just go to bed. Yes.

Good night!

Today has been crazy. Or it feels like it. First of all, I did an interview with Värmlandsnytt this morning that aired this evening. Erik Segerstedt even recognized me from it, what are the odds?

Later on I went to the stable to finish off our project for tomorrow, making a little sequence about Kadesh The Dreamer, before heading off to the arena for the open rehearsal of Melodifestivalen. It was really nice to see the whole thing together and the artists in their actual clothes and all. This will be a good one.

I managed to catch a few words with Martin Rolinski, Erik Segerstedt and Cookies N Beans, they can all be readen at Melodifestivalklubben.se .

But ok. I’m heading off to the leadership course early tomorrow, I just figured I’d quickly drop by.

I’ve had Melodifestivals songs in my mind all day. Why? Simply because I’m currently on a pressmission on behalf of the Swedish OGAE club. So I’ve been doing some massive presswork today, but in all honesty, this could possibly presswork I’m most proud of, for now. I’ve also given a few interviews, so I guess you could see my face in some magazines and in your TVs in a few days.

I was quite exhausted to say the least when I came home today. But I couldn’t be sad – because today, or possibly yesterday, was the official release of “To Beast Or Not To Beast” and despite me only pre-ordering it a few days ago, I already got it! I’m so excited. It’s kinda fun – I’ve had the album per se for many weeks, but I’m even more excited to get the actual album.

I guess it’s the thing you know. To hold the album, to watch the pictures, read along with the lyrics, reading the credits and you know. Just holding the physical copy. That means a lot to me, and that’s why I don’t engage in illegal downloading, and rarely even in legal downloading. Because I want the physical copy. I love it.

Talking about that, I also got some new incomes in my wardrobe this week. Two dresses, one zebra pattern more summer-kind-of-dress, one straight dark red one and leopard pattern shoes. They are so lovely, all of them. Won’t show ’em off though, can’t be bothered.

I got some things to do tomorrow, first of all I’ll give an interview in the morning before heading off to the stable to finish the last details on our presentation and later in the evening I’ll go to the general rehearsals of Melodifestivalen. Despite having all of these “events” to attend, I’d still say it’s a rather slow day.

Time to hit the sack though.  It may be a slow one, but it’ll be a long day.

DisneyChannel, why do continually show the same Gravity Falls episode after one another? They’ve just shown “The Hand That Rocks Mabel”, and now they show it again? What the fuck. And what’s up with the censored fez? Gah.

But if we stop talking about that for a while. Hello. Haven’t dropped in here for a while, and that may be because I just, yesterday, bought my first piece of furniture ever. That meaning, that I paid for myself. It’s sort of a chair. It’s like a mattress you can fold into a chair. But you know what’s even better than the chair?

The box. The fantastic box, as Michelle called it. Thing is, I sat on it when cutting up the tape, and I got the crazy idea that maybe I could lie down on it. When it was standing up like on the picture, and I could. So after a while I pulled out a blanket and put on Lordi’s album and relaxed for a good hour or two. On the top of the box. I think I even fell asleep for a little while too. Comfortable thing!

Oh yes.

But if we talk about today. I had a pretty chill day, I’d say. First I went downtown to get a few pieces of jewellery I had spotted a few days ago, two pair of earrings, one pair with snakes and one pair with pink stars. Love ’em. Could be useful this weekend!

After this I went over to Jennies place for a while to chill and talk about everything. Was a nice run, should do this more often. The day obviously ended with a rage-session with Michelle, but this time we actually ordered and planned this weekends concert-trip. Not sure if you know, but we’re going to Oslo to see Crashdiet together with Sister, Toxic Rose and Gotham Saints! This is going to be quite a blast, it’s been a long time since I last saw the fellas.

But look. It’s early in the morning, I gotta head to bed. See you later!

Hello, hello, hello.

So last Friday Argo cracked the news about Lordi possibly playing Skogsröjet, and a day later we got the news confirmed. Lordi truly ARE playing Skogsröjet.

Well… It was quite a shock I must say. I did not see this one coming, and I’m not even sure what I think about it. But I mean. It’s fun they are playing here. Just not sure about the place.

Either way. I just figured I should drop by, I haven’t written here for some time now. Gotta be better at this.

Today one of my homebred rabbits passed away, at an age of nine.

I don’t really know what to say about it, or about him. He sure is one of the rabbits to ever cause me so much harm as he did, couldn’t touch him without him giving me at least ONE scratch. Preferably three.

And that’s why I’ll miss him. No one to scratch me anymore.

Rest in Peace, Sture. I’ll love you always.
