I kick ass! (or hit chin)

Yepp. I was in Sally's final production, Gaslight as Mr. Frank Bradley. I got to knock the villain out and save the day! the final preformance was a huge success and everyobdy loved our fightscene! And just look at that manly mustach!
The first year student Mikael Brolin was doing the lights and he helped us with the stage combat, as he is a professional stuntman. His Webpage with showreel and stuff. Afterwards we went to an indian resturant and a french woman (she was the mother of the man who played the villain) payed for my expensive meal for some reason! Yay again!

I have a new japanese housemate, Kayoko, who, like Ruriko is also an aroma therapist. As a matter of fact, I am going there now to recieve an oily massage for free! For some reason they are very persistant in letting them rub my muscles (uh huhu)
Anyway, I am setting a deadline for the art contest! Have the pictures emailed to me by November 12! (please?)



And save the cats or else!

See ya!

The Film of my Life

Here's a fun test! which director would direct the film about my life?

James L. Brooks Your film will be 56% romantic, 42% comedy, 50% complex plot, and a $ 41 million budget.

Filmography: Terms of Endearment, Spanglish, As Good As It Gets, Broadcast News, etc. He also is responsible for bringing The Simpsons to TV (from when he produced The Tracy Ullman Show). It's likely that the audience will cry if Jimmy makes your film. In fact, the Simpsons writing team gave the name "Jimmies" to those sweet, tender, loving moments that end some Simpsons episodes. Also, that's he who says, "How about some sponge cake? With a brandy glaze! Muwahaha!"

My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 68% on action-romance You scored higher than 75% on humor You scored higher than 89% on complexity You scored higher than 84% on budget

Take the test and tell me how it went!

Blackout

The other day a big piece of North London was without electricity. At first it was annoying since we did a lot of things late in school. But it turned out to be quite cozy and peaceful with candle light. No one was stressing, and no noises were heard. At one point I walked on Seven Sister's Road.. normally a very busy street with many lights, now it was dead. Black.. empty. It gave me a nifty Apocalyptic feeling. Also I got a hug from Erica, she is a good hugger. Look at this pic, in the dark one could do many funny things!
OK, so my camera wouldn't take very clear pictures, but here they are.
North London.. hmm.. NorthLion in North London. That sounds really cool! yeah!

By the way I took another friggin personality test. These things have it in for me.


Nala a beautiful young lioness who is both kind,
loving and in search of her true love


which main character from the lion king are you?
brought to you by Quizilla

Just like the test on the DVD!
Don't worry though, yesterday I worked on a stage set with hammers and powertools so my masculinity is intact! Today I did children's classes and tonight I am rehersing my part in Sally's graduation play! I get to beat up the bad guy! Go me! Go testosterone! Wooo!

Byt the way, about that contest, I would like to add, you do not have to flatter me!
And.. save the cats!

See ya!

I don't really remind anyone of Nala do I?

Grind to the bone.

Tired. So tired. I have many pieces to work on for school apart from all the classes. But, as usual, I'm still loving it. Apparently I will be getting a new housemate. Another japanese girl, whose name is Kayoko. She'll be moving in around November. I'm getting to know the new first year students, some of them are really nice! Also, I found out that we will be meeting Kevin Spacey again. Things are good and getting better. Sadly, I don't have much to write about, since no actual big events have occured. But I CAN give you guys another contest!
How about this? An ART contest!
I want you to MAKE a picture, or a comic strip that has to do with either me, or the artist making it. It can be a portrait, a caricature, a character of mine, a character you create based on me or a what-if* picture of me or a situation I, or me AND the artist have been in etc etc etc, or it can be one of the artist, updating me on what's going on over there.
Use you imagination. It doesn't have to be Mona-Lisa quality, I know that not all of you would consider yourselves aritists but at least put some effort into it to show you care.
I will judge it mainly on how big my emotional reaction is, and how much I can relate to it. Of course, being an art contest, the technique will matter a bit, but as I said the main thing is that the picture makes a clear connection between me and the artist.
Keep the connections, dear friends!
And as usual, it is all in good fun!

*A what-if picture is a spectulative picture embodying an idea of, such as; "what if Peter was a starfighterpilot, what would he do, and what would it look like?"
This is a picture I threw together of Neil's character, Jeb Feer. if it wasn't for the fact that he designed the character, this could have been considered as a what-if picture.

Anyway, gotta go!
Save the cats, or I will be angry!

See ya!

WinAmp!

Gah! Well.. I'll start with the fun stuff. Saturday at my school there are children's classes and the 2nd year studens (such as myself) can, if they wish, assist. I have it a shot and you know what? Children can be really really good actors when they want to! Taking care of kids was acctually be very nice.
As for the Gah.. well. Here are some answers to the new questions that we asked the wise mediaplayer about.

Conny's questions:

Should Peter go for a career behind or in front of the camera?
Back to the Future 3 Soundtrack - The future isn't written
A Wise answer I suppose.. and honest.

Was Peter moving to England a good idea?

Robocop SoundTrack - Drive to Jones' office

Going to do what must be done. Yepp.

What is the next film Peter will work with?
Requiem For a Dream Soundtrack - Meltdown
Pardon me, but hasn't that film already been made? the same thing goes for all the soundtracks I have.

What does Peter think of Conny?

Cat Power - Baby doll

'Baby. Black is all you see. Dont you want to be free?' hehe.. suit yourself, asking such a question.

Hannah's questions!
What does Peter really dream about at night?
The Little Mermaid - Under the sea
I am NOT the little mermaid! And I've already GOT legs!

What will the love of Peters life be like?

X-Men Soundtrack - Logan & Rouge

Yeah.. that works I guess. As long as I'm Logan.

What is Peter's biggest problem?
Mulan Soundtrack - I'll make a man out of you
o_O"!

Honestly: is Peter really a girl?

Batman Returns Soundtrack - Cat Suite

The film is a bout Batman! What track it is doesn't matter! >:P

That's it, from now on I'm using Winamp!

See ya!

And YES I still want you to save the cats!

Bondbrudar.

Yeah... We're working on a routine in Jazz dance. A routine to the theme song of Goldfinger. A routine which, apparently is a pole dancing routine. What's the point of having a hairy chest and strong muscles if one ends up doing a pole dancing routine, getting demasculated by one's mediaplayer and post femmepics of oneself on the internet.
By the way, ask more questions to my Mediaplayer! Do you not want to know anything about me? Hannah? Bjorn? Somebody!

Oh well. The new litter is quite fun. Three of them went with us Veterans to a theatre trip, we saw The Philantropist at the Donmar. Good play, good play. And we got to speak to the cast and the director in a Q&A afterwards.

People, please give more fun questions to my mediaplayer, and I promise to have a fun contest for you soon. Also, save the cats, or else!

PS: Never thought I'd be able to put poledancing on my resume. damn.

See ya!

Weekend!

It has been a tough week. Don't have any new pictures for you, because of tiredness. It is is fun to watch the first-year students learn. Just imagine... One year ago I was like them. It is so cute.
I'd like to expand the mediaplayer test a little. I want you who read this to give me new questions I can ask my mediaplayer, and the answers will come in next entry!
So.. What do you all want to know about me? Let us ask my mediaplayer!
Until I get some new pictures, you will keep getting ones from my Sweden trip. This is mr BigOak.
Save the cats everyone!

See ya!

Back in school

Good old acrobatics.. I am knackered.. Anyway, I will begin by giving you some slightly old news. My japanese housemate Ruriko was robbed the other day. Some assholes grabbed her from behind took her bag and ran. She had over £300 in there along with all her things like cards, phone and keys. We spent yesterday evening cheering her up. Does she look cheered up? (pay no attention to the unmade bed in the background, it is only an illusion)
Anyway, one of the guys from the new class comes from the M-Town!
Apparently, he knew a lot of people I know! and went in the same class as BigOak! Small friggin world!
I will now give you my reslut in a fun test I stole from Silvestris, who stole it from an array of people. The trick is to let Media Player tell you who you are. You load all your songs into a playlist and let it select songs randomly as answers to these questions. Here are my results:

What do you think of me, Windows Media Player?
Final Fantasy VII soundtrack – Tifa’s Theme
Me? Tifa? Not you too, MediaPlayer!

Will I have a happy life?
Queen of the Damned Soundtrack – Cold
Uh oh…
Ok hang on just a minute here. Cold.. Fine! Damned.. ok, I'll be a vampire but what is this queen business! Did Hannah put you up to this, Mediaplayer!?

What do my friends really think of me?
Leonard Cohen – Love itself
Wow.. really?

Do people secretly lust after me?
Nightwish – Ever dream

Sigh… Thanks a lot.

What does [insert significant other] think of me?
The Lion King Soundtrack – Can you feel the love tonight
YES! SCORE! All I need now is a significant other to apply it to.

How can I make myself happy?
Cat Power – Moonshiner
… I should find happiness in drinking vast amounts of alcohol. You suck as a role model, man.

What should I do with my life?
Final Fantasy – Continue
Life goes on? Now we’re talking!

Why must life be so full of pain?
Ennio Morricone – Lonesome Billy
Yeah… sigh…

How can I maximize my pleasure during sex?
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Soundtrack – the Spiders
Uhh.. I… ummmm… Oh! I see! A bit of danger and excitement! That’s what you mean, right? Right?

Will I ever have children?
Twins – Going to Santa Fe
Twins? Really? Wow…

Will I die happy?
Leonard Cohen – Light as a breeze
Ok. oh well... a bit boring perhaps but I can think of worse ways to go.

Can you give me some advice?
Ennio Morricone - Childhood and manhood.
Shut up.

Do you know where your children are?
Requiem for a dream Soundtrack – Coney Island Dreaming
Now you ARE scaring me!

What do you think happiness is?
The Last Crusade Soundtrack – Keeper of the Holy Grail
I must find the grail? Is that a metaphor?

What's your favorite fetish?
the Ghost and the Darkness Soundtrack – Preparations
Hmm… Man eating lions... Silly humans thinking they stand a chans.. *licks my fangs*
Does that suit me? I'm not sure...

That's it for today. Save the cats! Specially the man eating lions!

See ya!

World Citezen

I'm getting used to travelling. I recently landed in London and there is no special feeling about it. It has become an everyday occurance (not literally) The world may be pretty big, but still it is only one place. There is really only one place. It is only my thinking about my surroundings that make it seem like different places. And the company. Home is not where the heart is, let's face it, the heart could be anywhere. Home is where your friends are. I miss you guys! I'm doing my best to visit ya'all! Come see me too! It'll be fun! We'll go see all the nifty lion statues!
By the way, today is Hannah's birthday!
Happy Birthday Hannah! Have a good one! Apart from the symbol of the contradiction in Russian patriotism, I will give you one more gift. I will send it by snailmail. I am not rich, so do not expect a diamond, but I think it can be considered fun. I just thought of it.

Well, I am back in Brittland. Haven't even got home yet, so this will be a quick one. Tomorrow I'll go say hi to people around the school before monday.. seing the new 1st year studens will be fun. See you all around christmas all you Swedes! hugs!
As long as you save the cats!
As today's finale, I will give you one more picture from my Swedish holiday. I realized I have not shown a lot of pictures of my youngest neice, Clara. Here she is.

See ya!

Opposites.

Labour day is an American tradition. It is the day that no one does any labour. This is my holiday, where I get no rest. I am not complaining, I met old friends during the weekend so I had a good time. I have got to steal one evening of sleep though, before I go back to Brittland.
Well. On the Friday I got to the T-hat and met up with Janni and Hannah. We had a nice reuinion and the gals had some... verbal fights. No catfight occured though, if it did I would have shown pictures. We went on the the Pianobar, where I found out that it is about to be closed down. Rest in piece, pianobar, you will be missed.
At this bar I met up with Patrik and his bro Niklas. They have, like most T-hatters nowadauys, become total WoW junkies. I spent the night at Hannah and Patrik's place. Apparently I must have been quite dirty, because one of their cats, Boris, saw it fit to give me a grooming. We watched the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Great musical! Tim Curry is cool. The next day I went to my cusin Daniel's birthday party. He has now hit the big Three-O (30)
That night I went back to the T-hat and reunited with Nefus. We spoke, laughed, drank and played computer games. Good old classmate of mine. Then I went to get some sleep at Hannah and Patrik's place once again. Boris had other plans, however. He required petting as payment for the earlier grooming and after that, his housemate Frans also wanted petting and I couldn't be unfair so petting was applied.
The following day we had a meeting about the short film Dödsbo. I have now met Li, who is to be something like Production Design on the film. Good old Andreas Sollien and Conny were also at the meeting. After the meeting we met Björn. Then we had lunch. After lunch, Björn went home and the rest of us helped on the shoot of a music video.
This last picture is a picture of Li, holding a reflector. Welcome to our world, miss Li. Please wear a helmet. And always bring your toothbrush. Don't ask why.
Save the cats, people!
(edit: Li asked me to censor the this picture of her. Let this be a lesson! Be careful with what you wish for BWUAHAHAHAHA!!!)

See ya!

yaawn..

I am tired... Got up early today and went to work.. Today it invloved much heavy lifting and carrying. I got the bluetooth headset for my phone to work. Now I can look like a vantrue yuppie, yay! In a few hours I will be in T-hat, vistin' the old homies. I don't have much time to seek people out, so I ask everyone who wants to meet me to be at the Pianobar tonight. I am very tired, yes but I will be somewhat alert for the reunion.. then I will snuggle up on Hannah's floor and sleep. Maybe sofa... Depends...
Say what? Oh! the contest! Well.. here we go.
Here are the winning captions.

"If I turn the webcam this way that zombie in the middle of my room might go away.. no? Damn..."

By Björn Swendsén, 5 points, welcome to the game!

By Conny Andersson, 3 points. Should have been in English though, dude.

"It's true! Fedus-head-nurse from south park IS based on a real person!"

Silvestris and Marcus still have 10 points

Frida and Björn have 5 points.

tired.

A bit weary. Work... I've been running around like crazy at the hospital, inspecting the possibilities of IP TeleKom upgrades. And guess what! I have been volunteered for weekend work as well. And twelve hours per day! Don't remember volunteering for it, but I guess that's the way things go. sigh. Anyway, I've been hanging out a little bit with the oaks, and I just ordered my new computer! There is light in the universe sometimes. I'd like to have written more, but I am just too tired. I'll give you a picture.. Oh and by the way, I have the rest of my Russia pictures now, so you'll see some in a few days!
Before I go to bed, I'll give you a fun little contest. This will be a captions contest. First place will get 5 points.. second place will get 3 points and third place will get 2 points. Create speech bubbles, or a short story behind the next picture. It can be funny, a deep poem, a cool saying, anything.. as long as I like it. Here we go.

And never forget to save the cats!

See ya!

OMGWTF!?!?!?!?

I left for airport three hours before I had to. Got to Tottenham Hale and waited for the Stanstead Express Train. A train arrived and I got on expecting a 35 minute journey to the airport. 45 minutes later I realized something is wrong. I asked a girl sitting near me.
"We are going to Stanstead, right?"
She looked at me. "no..."
I said, in a southern USA accent "God damnit."
She looked at me more. "Where are you going?"
"I'm flying to Sweden..."
"Wow... Have you ever been to Cambridge?"
"... no."
"Well. in 17 minutes, you will be."
"Whops."
That's right. I got on the wrong train and ended up in Cambridge. Lucklily, the girl I met (who was a clever solicitor by the way) managed to call some people and hook me up on a delayed train going from Cambridge to Stanstead. If that train had not been 40 minutes delayed, I would not have been able to board it and catch my flight. I screwed up, but the combigned efforts of my blind luck, and this marvelous girl (Damn, I didn't even ask for her name!) I still made it to Sweden! I thanked her very much, and we had a nice chat. In Sweden I celebrated my grandfather's 80th birthday. Had a nice time with the family, and Moffe was as usual very happy to see me. That night me and Karin took a long walk under the night sky, talking about everything. Me and her can have really nice talks sometimes.
Today, I am going to save the cats, then I will go visit the oaks!

See ya!
