Yes, I drew a rainbow-haired pink pony and there’s nothing you can do about it. Except maybe shame me a little. Fun fact: My boyfriend has that exact zombie shirt! He never wears it and I keep threatening to steal it from him, but he refuses to give it up. To be fair, I’m the one who bought it for him so it would be a little rude to steal it back, but it is also a little rude of him not to wear it, so I guess what we’ve got here is quite a pickle.
An extra large week in Instagrams this Sunday, seeing as I didn’t post one last week. I just couldn’t bear to see two “Week in Instagrams” posts in a row!
1. A necklace that I ordered from Etsy – very Bellatrix Lestrange don’t you think? I like it, it is small and made of white bronze and is just the right amount of creepy. I’ve worn it nearly every day since I received it.
2. My new HTC One X smart phone. I got it through my job to review, how great is that? This baby is fantastic!
3. One day our apartment was so cold I had to sit on the oven for a little while. Is it spring yet?
4. Buffalo platform sneakers – they’re back, apparently! Personally, I think I’ll pass.
5. My parents were in town for one day this week, and my mom and I did a little shopping. This sweater was too cute to pass up!
6. Fun at the book store.
7. Marius and I traveled to Oslo this weekend to see Ricky Gervais do stand-up comedy. Not to brag, but I’m getting really good at this packing thing!
8. Marius, however, seems to think I’m a dude. He ordered our plane tickets and this is what happened.
9. The eye liners that I carry with me every. Single. Day. Always prepared in case of a kohl-liner emergency!
10. A photo of Luna and I that I found in my photo booth folder. I miss that little bundle of fur!
11. A glass of cava makes nerding so much more enjoyable, don’t you think?
12. I love watching the sun rise on my way to work.
13. This week marked the start of one of the most difficult trials we’ve ever had here in Norway. It is so hard to go about your daily life and at the same time read about the horrible details of the events that took place on July 22nd last year. I took this photo sometime at the end of July, and it shows the flowers that people left here in Bergen to commemorate the the victims of the attacks. It is hard to describe how collectively heartbroken we are, as a nation, so I will leave that to people who are more eloquent than I am.
14. Mandatory self portrait time.
15. Earlier today, right before we left Oslo, we had coffee at a place with the most terrific retro interior. How cool is this jukebox? If I lived in Oslo, this is where I’d go for coffees.
P.S: I seem to have lot the images for the posts that were published before 2012. I will fix it as soon as I have time :)
Look at me, making up new post series left and right – new in this week: Moleskine Monday! Why, do you ask? Because I bought a Moleskine this weekend, because I felt like I should blog something, and because it happened to be Monday today. Ta-dah. Moleskine Monday! I don’t know what it is about this sketch book. I have owned many many black sketch books before, but none of them have given me this magical urge to draw in them quite like this one does.
Anyway, now that I have made a tag and everything I guess I have to keep this up! Maybe I’ll even dig out my markers and colored pencils? Or ink? Or maybe.. watercolors? This could easily be a very slippery slope, I can tell..
This will be the first week in a long time where the title of my Week in Instagrams post isn’t a lie – Instagram for Android has officially launched this week! I am completely hooked of course, but then again I have been waiting for this for ages. I am maja_piraja if you would like to follow me.
1. This is what the weather was like in Bergen last Sunday – freezing cold, but definitely spring-like. I am more than slightly embarrassed by how much space I devote to discussing the details of my local weather on this blog, but I tell myself that it is a very Norwegian thing to do and that it is completely natural.
2. I thought this only happened in movies, but boy was I wrong – this seems to be the contents of a man’s closet, thrown onto the ground from a window. So dramatic!
3. A snapshot taken from the plane on my way to Molde.
4. Say hi to Luna, my furry little sister parents’ dog!
5. Snow is no excuse to not go for a run. My neon pink Nimbuses are invincible!
6. Easter eggs that my sister and I painted a few years ago. We were supposed to paint new ones this year but we never got around to it!
7. This is where I spend most of my time at my parents’ house: in front of the fireplace.
8. This is from the hike that my mom and I went on a few days ago. A totally postcard-worthy landscape, don’t you agree?
9. The mandatory self portrait. I am so happy that the awkward growing-out-bangs period is over – no more hair in my face!
I don’t know if I mentioned it, but I traveled to Molde on Wednesday evening to visit my family for easter. If the snowfall in Bergen was considered a bit crazy, it was nothing compared to what met me here in Molde – it could might as well have been Christmas! My mom and I have to go for a hike somewhere every time I visit, and as you can see the weather was nothing short of perfect today. Most of the people we met were on skis, which looked a lot more practical than being on foot. And let’s not even mention poor Luna, standing a measly foot tall from the ground! She’s tough though, and seemed to enjoy herself despite the fact that I had to spend some good five minutes picking lumps of snow out of her fur before getting into the car on our way back.
For the rest of the evening we’re planning to relax, eat easter chocolate and drink red wine. Not exactly what you’d call action-packed, but then again, I’ve never been an “action-packed” kind of girl. For me, this is the perfect way to celebrate easter.
How are you spending your easter weekend?
