Harry Potter and Dog paws...



I've finished the last Harry Potter book!!

Yeah, at last I've finished it. Late? Someone may think, but better read it slowly than try to read it all, and miss important moments.
But, this far, I haven't melt everything, so I can't really say what I think about the last one. Not really as I expected it would end, but it always is like that when I've read the other Harry Potter books. And I think J.K. Rowling wants the reader to be surprised, not to make it as the reader thinks it would happen, but instead take different routes, completely the other direction, the opposite of what a reader would be thinking of.

I don't want to spoil or give out spoilers about the book, so I won't be telling more about it here. If you are just a slightly curious about how the story ends, just go to and buy it, start reading it.
Many things happens already just by starting to read it.

And my dad and I tried to cut the nails on our dog's paws. But she was so scared and cried out every time my dad took one of her paws and tried to cut one of the nails. He succeeded from time to time, but it took so much time just by holding her.
So after more than an hour we gave up.

Just as the other days, today's been a day with weather from sun to rain, temperature from 15 degrees up to 22. Very shifting weather...

And tomorrow....

Boringness and bananflugor

Yes, now I'm back home in Sweden....
I came home yesterday evening, and today it's been raining, sunny for ten minutes, rain again, and now it's just cloudy... Temperature around 20 degrees Celcius, cold inside the house, boring, reading the last Harry Potter, boring, cold, reading again, sleepy, and so it goes on.

Yeah, I have to say, it is a boring place here sometimes. I have to say that even if it's too much people on the streets in Tokyo, it feels better than having just air passing by outside the house.

I was walking our dog earlier this morning, and the only people I met on the way was two workers who worked on a house not so far from my house. And raindrops where the other things I met when I walked with Mimmi. Where are all people? Still on vacation on different places on earth, I think.

I've unpacked my things, so much things... dunno where to put them...
Dad's gone to his job, and my brother went somewhere with his girlfriend. So here I am sitting in front of my PC having just our dog as company (who sleeps just outside my door).
Aah! I have forgot all the small, very irritating bananflies (bananflugor). Dad forgot to take out the trash and there they are now, hundreds and thousands of these irritating bastards...!
I'm gonna kill them all, but easier to say than have it done...
Some of these bastards has found their way to my window too... I see two or three of them right in front of me... hatred.

Anyway, I'm going to my fly-killing mission now, so see you afterwards.

GLAY Tour 2007-2008

GLAY Tour 2007-2008 is settled!!
And I will go, no matter what! I'm going to save money and go to Tokyo in February and go to their concert! I've made the decision a long time ago already.
Here's the tour list.

Tuesday 10 July 2007

Yesterday, my brother went to a Karaoke with his friend, and at the same time me and my host mother and sister went to a Karaoke nearby too. I haven't been on a Karaoke for so long, and when I did go to a Karaoke with some friends, I couldn't sing at all... and I really mean that I couldn't sing at ALL...!
This time we went to a Karaoke because my host sister had one day off from school and we had no plans for the day. She wanted to go to a Karaoke so much, so why not. It was like practice for me too. But I did sing some songs! I couldn't sing that good, but I sang the lyrics quite okay! Surprisingly, hahaha (^^)

Two days ago, on Saturday, me and my brother went to Yomiuri-Land with one of my host sisters and her boyfriend. Yomiuri-Land is an attraction place. There was not so much people there, but it was alright anyway. We saw Yomiuri Giants' training court (baseball-team). Really cool! (^^)
We had a lot of fun at Yomiuri-Land, and was there all day.

And the day before, on Friday evening, I went to a re-union party.
While I was an exchange student here in tokyo, I went to a private girl-high school. I made lots of friends there, and my friend set up the re-union party just because I'm in Japan! So cute of her!! We were around 17 from the class and even our teacher came! He's a very good teacher and loved by his former-students (us). We talked about what we do lately, and what plans we have for summer, and of course if we have boyfriends or not.
Most of all study seriously and have a side-job. For me, after summer will be a new start, so hearing what everyone do now, was very good to hear. It seems that they are so busy, so that they have no time to see each other either, so this re-union was really a good opportunity for everyone to meet again!

Soon, me and my brother will be headed south on Japan for a week, we're going to visit our grandparents! But at the same time, my mother and my other two brothers are going to be there. They're going to Japan today, land there tomorrow, and the next day, we two will be arriving to our grandparents too. I hope my grandparents will survive the storm made by us... ahahah....

Rolling Sushi

Lately, we've been in many places, for example in the Roppongi Hills we went to the top of the Mori Tower. The view was very beautiful! When seen from the top, Tokyo is so big, like there is no ending... neverending city.

Today, we went to Harajuku again, but with one of my host sisters, the middle one. She knows a lot of places. And we also went to "Hide"s market, Maasai Market. (Hide was a guy who was in Ainori for a while). He wasn't there, but when Ami (the host sister) was there one day, he also was there. But anyway, there were so many cute things!! At the shop, he sells different gods from Africa, some of the things he have designed and/or remade by himself. I bought two beautiful rings. But I wanted to buy so many other things... at times like these, you wish you were a rich person... hahaha

And we ate at a "Kaiten-zushi", a restaurant where the Sushi is put on small plates, then on a rolling link (?), and you can take those sushi you want to eat, you pay as much as the number of plates you've taken.

Tomorrow, is another day.

Good Shopping! (^O^)

Today is sunday, very early in the morning, my host parents and one of my host sisters, me and my brother took a drive thru Tokyo. They explained where different places where, what different buildings were and things like that. I took some pictures too.

Today was not hot at all, around 25 degrees, no sun, some waterdrops falling from time to time, it wasn't "mushi-mushi" at all. Very good weather, not tiring.
But unfortunately, almost every one was tired after all these past days of walking, so we didn't go somewhere far today. We were mostly at home, taking some naps from time to time, one of my host sisters had a school work about the movie "Ghostbusters". I've actually never seen the movie, only heard the theme song/melody.
I didn't watch so seriously, but I followed it.
I read manga instead. Much better...

After the lunch, me and my brother looked in some stores around the neighbourhood. I found some pretty cheap but fine T-shirts and one shorts! I was happy!
Afterwards we went to see what the 100-yen shop had, and at last we went to Book-Off, a store where they sell second hand books, mangas, CD/DVD for cheap price. I found many GLAY singles! And I bought some videos and DVDs from different concerts!
I'm satisfied! I bought much, but for very good prices.

This is for today, I think! (^^)
