This is my fave song from one of my fave episodes of Phineas & Ferb. He’s also my favecharacter in that particular episode. And I must say, I love the fact that he’s the bassplayer in Love Händel, and that he’s fabulous. I mean, what other fabulous bassplayer do we have? Haha. 

While we’re on it, maybe we should just keep it to Phineas&Ferb at the moment. It’s not like I have anything better to blog about. I was thinking about this with favourite episodes, and I must say it’s so hard to pick ONE. My first though was “Finding Mary McGuffin” or “Vanessassary Roughness” since they are heavily themed on Vanessa Doofenshmirtz, and her being my favecharacter I guess you can do the math. But then we have the Musical Cliptastic Countdown, which was the very episode I fell in love with Vanessa, where I heard “Busted” for the very first time. Sadly I managed to delete the thing from my recorder, and I’ve never been sader.

But, the thing is, when I’m about to put just another Phineas episode to pass time, it’s usually “Dude, we’re getting the band back together!” or “Lawn Gnome Beach Party Of Terror” that I put on, or if I have more time and patience, “Summer Belongs To You” (Because it’s split, and they are not even next to each other on the recorder and you have to go through millions of episodes to find the other part). “Summer…” is in the one of the three I enjoy the most to watch, because of you know, all the characters getting together and all. But “Backyard Beach”… What can I say. I love the song, and I love all things tropical. And “Dude..”… I mean. They are re-uniting an old band. With a fabulous bassplayer. Yep, to good to be true. I also got this weird thing for “Ain’t Got Rythm” even if I didn’t fancy it much to begin with.

But as a matter of fact, my all favourite is, “Phineas & Ferb: Across The 2nd Dimension”. SPOILER ALERT.

(This one was to be used on another entry, but oh well, it works here)

And why do I love the 2nd dimension so much then. Well, there are some things I’m a sucker for; 1) Epic music, 2) When characters who aren’t supposed to be together, end up together, 3) When the villain becomes the hero.

2nd Dimension happens to have all of this. To begin with, P&F crashing at Doof’s, and the three of them going into the 2nd dimension together, where, Doof is the leader. I love Doofenshmirtz, so I was pretty much like WJLASJDALJDALSJ!!! And when I saw the 2nd Dimension Doof…. OH MY GOD. Fangirl alert! He’s just… hot. Yup, I said it. And they find out Perry is an agent and then Candace bursts in, and you know, it’s just one mess! But my favepart is at the end, when 2nd Doof is just about to smash Phineas, Ferb and Perry, and 1st dimensions Doof runs up, stops 2nd dimensions Doof and gives him his locomotive, saving the creatures lives. It almost made me cry.

Then we have the music. “Everything’s better with Perry”. “Brand New Best Friend”. “Summer(Where do we Begin)”. “I Walk Away” Do I need to say more? These four songs says EVERYTHING about the music. It’s pretty much better than all of the regular Phineas episodes.

So yes, that’s why I love it so much. Or, at least, in short. I’m getting tired and I need to tidy up and then eat, and watch some Phineas. What about watching “I Scream, You Scream” maybe? Haha. Alright, good night!

Listening to the soundtrack of “Rock Of Ages” inspires me extremly. Currently listening to “I Wanna Know What Love Is” and the way they arranged it just makes me wanna get out to a festival, with our planned van and just blast the whole thing. Just the sound and movement of this little tune inspires me to keep on the touring, the keep on the travelling. I’ve been talking a bit to my partner in crime, Michelle about it. And we have somewhat the same view on what we wanna do next summer.

Like I said previously, watching “Phineas&Ferb” kind of makes me wonder what the hell I’m doing with my life. And why I keep waste the summers away. So that’s why I’ll try to raise as much money as I can so we can just pretty much travel THE SHIT out of summer next year. Not only about concerts and festivals, but we also have some other small trips planned that I rather keep a secret right now.

It has also inspired me a lot for the upcoming trips we have. I had this point when I felt that I just wanted to withdraw the whole thing, but you know, I don’t withdraw, so I would go through with it. But nowadays I just feel like I want it to be NOW. But it’s good that it’s a bit away, so I and or we, can raise money to make the best out of it instead. For those who might have missed it, we’re doing two Sabaton gigs – Oslo + Stockholm, followed by Steel Panther in Stockholm + Gothenburg and wrapping it with WASP in Karlstad and Gotthard in Oslo (possibly). Will. Be. So. Good.

And I need to try to save up to a goddamn computer. I saw the perfect one, and now I just need to save up for it. But right now, it doesn’t feel impossible. And that’s always good, right? but now I need to wrap this one up. Early work in the stables tomorrow, need to get some rest. See you later! And oh. The fist load of birthday decorations came today! So excited!

You wanna know something. Watching and listening to Phineas & Ferb makes me wonder what the fuck I’m doing with my life. It feels like I’m wasting all these time on nothing. It’s a good thing that the show makes me think – because it makes me re-consider choices of life and what I do. Good thing.

And while we’re on Phineas&Ferb. I always record 05.45 airing of it, but it’s usually the “Isabella and the Sap” thingyepisode, so it never feels worth it. But yet I put it on this morning as well. And I’m glad I did, beacuse this morning they happened to air “I Scream, You Scream”. So NOW,  I posses the full episode.

This week is going to be busy. I had a meeting with the stable today, and on Wednesday I’m off to Gothenburg to see Alice Cooper, and on Thursday I’m heading to Skogsröjet festival. The disturbing part is that I have mixed feelings about it. I want to look forward to it, but I somehow can’t. It’s probably beacuse of the stress for school that happens to have it’s deadline on August 10th, and the fact I have to be away on my birthday. I’ve never been away on my birthday, and I don’t really like the idea either. The only time I’ve been “close” to it was when I was on a ridingcamp back in 2005 on Pickles, and I was only away like four hours. Sure it’ll be cool to see Cooper and all but still…. I prefer to be home. And it’s also the first riding for the semester, apart from this years ridingcamp.

Regarding school… I’m trying so hard to finish this small and simple tasks, but somehow I just can’t. It’s not even difficult. Discuss whether Harry Potter is a classic or not and if it’s right to be so critical towards Disney. 200 and 600 words each. PIECE OF CAKE. This blogentry alone is over 300 words.

But now, Phineas&Ferb began. Abrupt ending.

AND OH IT’S THE PILOT.

You know, Vanessa is my favourite character of Phineas&Ferb. There was a few episodes I always wanted to see – “Finding Mary McGuffin”, “Vanessassary Rougness” and “I Scream, You Scream”, as they seemed to focus a lot on Vanessa. I do now, possess both Mary McGuffin and Vanessassary recorded on my TV Box, the only one missing for now would be “I Scream, You Scream”.

I was going away on a ridingcamp for the week, also hosting sleepover which unabled me to watch Phineas&Ferb, so I had my mother and brother record every single P&F episode (which is about 60 episodes!!!) to make sure I wouldn’t miss it, “I Scream, You Scream”. However, as I’ve gotten home, I haven’t watched through all of them since I figured I’d like to save them for the times when I get up too late or too early to watch an episode being aired. But as far as I’ve been watching, it’s been a lot of epic episodes, such as “Roller Coaster: The Musical”, no sign of “I Scream, You Scream”.

So today I saw down with dinner, just in time for the mid-day airing of P&F. I had been reading a lot about Ferb on Phineasandferbwikia and found a funny still from “Run away Runway” and as it started today, that very episode happened to come on! And on top of that, the fashion designer in the show happened to be called Gaston, which I, in my bad humor and also a little bit of irony, I did find it quite fun and pressed record, presumably to be able to share it with Michelle when she got home.

The episode as a whole wasn’t too impressive. It wasn’t boring, but it wasn’t extraordinary. Made me giggle though. But then….

The first thing I see is Isabella in a hospitalbed. And then I notice the name of the episode.

“I Scream, You Scream”.

I just dropped everything, gazed and was amazed. Was it right? Really? No?

“I Scream, You Scream”.

It couldn’t be, right?

But then… I recognize Doofensmirthzexwifeshouseonamountainesomewhere! And Vanessa reading. Then talking about busting her dad.

YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!

FUCK YES!!! FINALLY!!! AFTER ALL THIS TIME!!! (Like three weeks) FINALLY!

And what happens next?

My TVBox stops recording in the middle. I mean, come on? Are you serious?

Gladly, it’s just about to air right now. So I’m going to have to end this abruptly.

EDIT: This is the saddest moment ever. “Run away Runway” didn’t come on. This means, no “I Scream, You Scream”. But oh well. It’s “Vanessassary Roughness” they are airing instead. Wow, I never thought I’d be disappointed by a Vanessa episode. Daym.

Today we, once again in what I’d consider a quite short time, recieved bad news regarding the band. We learned that our very beloved keyboardist, Lady Awa has decided to leave the band.

I don’t really know where to start with this. Awa, Awa, Awa…. Where do we begin.

Awa was actually the first member of Lordi I ever saw – when I was entering Eurovision’s official website, the first thing that caught my eye was Awa (Arockalypse era) and she SCARED ME. To death. And from that moment I hated Lordi. For like, a week. And because of this, she became my first favorite member, even though my love for Kita would grow stronger, I never really let go of this lovely lady.

I got to meet her for the very first time in September 2006, and that is one of my fondest memories. After Kita and I was “done” so to speak, and my friend was busy with OX (hahaha) she walked up to me and, in Swedish surprisingly (Yeah, I know she speaks Swedish, but it still surprised me!) and asked me if I lived in Gothenburg and that she really liked the town. I just nodded. SO CORNY, but the fuck, I was fangirling on the inside and didn’t know what to say to her. At least she took her time, and god how I love her for that.

Sadly, this is the only REAL memory I have of her. Sure – I met her twice after this, but we didn’t interact much more than a simple hug and exchanging (insecure) looks at each other. Never the less, I found her to always be very polite and kind to one another.

I can honestly say, that even though she didn’t have the biggest part in the shows, I’ll miss her. I kinda liked the fact she wasn’t so overexposed, that she had her little moment with “The Rebirth of the Countess” or the umbrella pre-Deadache. She was a talented musician, and in all honesty, she wasn’t the one I’d expect to leave in the first place.

However, I do respect her decisions, and I understand them. I wish her ALL the luck to whatever she does in the future, and she’ll always be close to me heart, a dead countess or not. I love you always, Lady Awa.

And, sadly, you know the drill by now. Now is the point were I want ALL Of you readers to write down your memories, feelings, get out your aggression, points of view, well ANYTHING regarding Awa. If you’ll miss her, how much you love her… yeah you get it!

God. Damn. It. 

I have literally not been blogging since last month. What the hell is wrong with me. Not sure. What happened since last, well, I saw Sister live. That was nice, sadly the crowds here in Karlstad SUCKS. We were two fans there, and not many did even make the EFFORT for the band. That is so tragic. But nonetheless, we spent some short amount of time with the boys after the show, and that was well nice. Thanks for that!

Alright, what else. Well, I did the mistake to turn in on DisneyChannel out of boredome. Came across a show called “Phineas & Ferb” that I’ve seen trending on Twitter and also heard being hyped in series like “The Middle”. Alright, what may this be? I wasn’t too impressed with the previous shows I had seen on DC, so I didn’t expect much of this.

Biggest. Mistake. Ever. Why? Because now I’m HOOKED. So badly HOOKED on P&F that I plan my entire fucking life AFTER how the show airs. It’s like my universe is not symmetric if I’m not seeing P&F. This is SO RIDICULOUS, but it’s something about that triangle guy, their agent platypus and the lonely villain that just appeals to me. Favecharacter though is Vanessa, you know, Doofenshmirtz daughter? I love her.

And last, but not least, I spent a week together with my fantastic girls in the GroupieBFFs and we had an unforgettable week. However, I figured I’d write about it tomorrow.

Alright, over and out, I got some essays to write!

Alright, here’s the deal. I haven’t updated since Sweden Rock, because I haven’t had the time or been arsed to do so. But now I’m back on track. I figured I’d enlighten you a bit with whats actually going on.

Sweden Rock, was awesome. I had such a blast, and I simply can’t wait to do it all over again. Sadly, it’s quite a while ’til we do so. I got to see some and meet some of my favourite bands once more, and you know… you can’t put a feeling to love.

I went to the premiere of the movie “Rock of Ages”.. and what can I say. Probably one of the best films I’ve seen, ever. We’re gonna see it again this weekend, and I can’t wait. It’s like a Disneymovie, the storyline is taken from books like “The Dirt” and “Welcome to the Jungle” and the music is written by some of the best ‘composers’ in the world. But I couldn’t help myself from singing and dancing. Who the fuck could really?

I also got my new Gameboygames I won on Ebay a week ago, “Beauty & The Best”, “Hercules” and “Aladdin”. So far I’ve only tried out “Beauty and the Beast” because I really want my little corner in the room to be done before I start play even more. Hihi.

Also, today, Steel Panther confirmed the Sweden tour I was awaiting. We were originally about to go to two gigs in the UK, but as Satchel told us on Sweden Rock that they’d do a European tour around it, I was pretty much just awaiting Swedish, or at least Scandinavian dates. And now they’re here. What ‘sucks’ about them, is that they are on October 23rd and 24th. That is TWO days after Sabaton, and THREE days before Badmouth. WHY IS EVERYTHING, HAPPENING ON THE SAME TIME? Gladly, we managed to build it together pretty smoothly. In case anyone wants to join our journey, you’re free to join! Just let us know.

My hamster is running around on the floor like crazy and I should get on with my Disneyassignment in school. Or clean. Soon enough I’ll have a break from work at least!

Currently listening to the soundtrack of Beauty and the Beast while finishing a delayed take home exam. Better late then never, huh? At least that’s how I see it.

I haven’t quite melted yet that Sweden won Euro fucking vision this year, it’s just… yeah. I’m euphoric about it. I’ve gotten slightly apathetic and people have tried to congratulate me (or well, that we won you know since they know I love this contest more than pretty much anything) and tried to talk to me about it. Usually I’m very talkative when it comes to ESC and can sometimes get too far and too much into it so people don’t keep up, but now… I can’t say a word. They try to ask me what countries I liked this year, and I can’t remember. It’s like the sign “SWEDEN – WINNER OF EUROVISION SONG CONTEST 2012” gave a total blackout. I don’t remember anything. Nothing. Sorry dearest, in a month or so I guess we’ll be able to discuss Eurovision normally again. And we shall do it deeper than ever.

One thing that this victory set off with me was inspiration. For instance, I opened up the savingsaccount for ESC as I always talked about. The recent years that we’ve been attending it has sort of been weeks before it we’ve been like “OMG we need money!” but now I’ve decided to start save for it in time. And always keep a fund for it.

Sad part is, there is no time to be too eurphoric. Next week Sweden Rock hits off, and I’m not sure if I have actually written anything about it here, but me and my fellow mate Michelle will be covering it for Hårdrock.com and today we happened to get our first, and probably only, interview booked and ready. We were pretty… euphoric about that too, haha. So now comes those preparations. Making up an interview, practice it, and with the scheme of signing sessions that will occur, we’ve started to get a pretty busy and heavy schedule. Especially on Thursday. But fuck, we will manage it.

If I in 2011 managed to get back to Köln from Düsseldorf, pick up my ticket and get back in time for ESC, We can fix this. Can’t we? Of course. Now I however need to get back to my take-home exam. I need to have it done before Sweden Rock to take  out my stress a little. Regarding Stala&SO., I might finish it before Sweden Rock. Probably will.

Sorry for all the Eurphoria puns and ESC talk.
