Girl crushing

Totally girl crushing on Lykke Li these days. Not really my kind of music. Or maybe it is - I'm not quite sure what "my kind of music" is anymore. Sure isn't anything static and unified, that's for sure. Tonight, it's Lykke Li. Might be my Swedish genes shining through.

Lykke Li - Get Some

Lykke Li - I Follow Rivers

Lykke Li - Dance, Dance, Dance

Enter: three days of awesome

Good morning, beautiful people! The sun is up, my tea cup full and my heart beating like a black metal drum kit; today, I'm starting my first exam. Media- and culture theory - a three-day adventure of coffee, angst and writing. Or something closely related to that. During the next days I'll giggle, I'll cry, I'll shout and I'll crawl on the floor, of this I am sure. I will however, convince myself that I am in total control of the situation. This will be fantastic!

Please excuse me now, while I jump around my kitchen, enter the cool zone and do the awesome-dance like M.I.A.:

My plan is, if nothing else succeeds, to make a living by dancing like this around the university. Feed me coffee, and I'm up for it.

Being a movie star for three minutes

Sometimes, when listening to a really good song, I like to pretend I'm in a music video. Or in a scene of a fancy movie. Some songs just makes everything seem like a whole other universe; the melody blocks out everything else, the lyrics just.. fit. If not, I make the world fit to it. I create stories to the people I walk past, I give them missions and parts of a play only taking place because the music makes it possible. There's a lot of songs that does that to me - quite often it's solely based on how I feel there and then.

Today, I felt like the star featured in the music video of this song:

Kings of Convenience - Gold in the Air of Summer

Come on, do the idiot dance

Listening to Pendulum after the right amount of coffee and good thoughts, just makes me want to throw my books out the window, drink an indecent amount of alcohol and dance like a complete idiot through the university facilities. Might be because I'm up far too early, might be because my brain's gotten severely injured just by being attached to.. well, me. Or it might be that I need to get out more. Whatever makes me seem less like a total nerd, and more like something awesome. Now, come on, let's dance like the idiots we are.

Inhaling light, and all there's to it

Just realized how the title of the blog might make me appear more saint-like and believing than intended. Don't know if it's just the way my own mind works, but it suddenly came off as semi-religious in my eyes. Which, well, it's not. I'm not really the one to dedicate my blogs to any higher force. (I could stretch to dedicate it to my own god though; the allmighty caffeine. Oh, how I pray to Thee and Thy power. Ah, well, ok.)

It is however, a tiny homage to one of my favourite bands: In Flames. Swedish people looking all manly and grinding on their instruments, just oh-so-right. "Inhale the light" is simply a line stolen from their song "Minus". And to raise the bar on this already awesome morning, here's another song:
