    =)
    The weather is gonna suck. Rainy and cloudy all the time. I don't think Kista even has any hotels, never been there. And sightseeing, well if you find anything cool to see give me a call. To my knowledge there is hardly anything worth seeing in this country at all, exept for me of course.

    When visiting the Royal Palace in Stockholm, it's nice and polite to once "accidentally" step inside the area limited to one of the poor soldiers standing guard there. This will give the misfortunate fellow a very welcome break from standing still for hours, as he can take one step forward, and point at the line drawn on the ground.

    Of course it would look highly dubious if you did this more than once, and you would probably be removed from the precinct.

    And I'm not just saying this. I did it years ago, myself. I think the guard was highly pleased of the chance to flex his muscles a little. And I probably looked like a stupid finnjävel tourist anyway, so it was no problem for either of us...

    Yeah, back from San Francisco now. It was a pretty cool trip, shame my friend is such a scaredy cat, couldn't do some things I wanted...

    But I did get a one-day boyfriend who turned out to be a shoplifter and stole a Sigmund Freud action figure for me. Bizarre!

    Glad to be home. California was getting to be too fucking hot.

    Right now in the middle of a freaking storm in St. Maarten in my friend's boat. Hopefully it'll be a shitty one, currently 60 mph sustained winds. Last Friday was fucked up. A 13 hour trip between the canal of Virgin Gorda and St. Bartz. Waves between 10-13 feet the whole trip, and fucking strong winds. We lost our dingy, and a friend of mine fell overboard. Keep in mind that we began our trip at 11 pm and my friend fell like at 2 am, we couldn't see shit. Luckly we found him. Anyways, amazing trip... I should be back home in a couple of days.

    Good thing you were able to enjoy the trip despite the storm. As a matter of fact, I hope to see a good, harsh lightning storm every summer. Unfortunately I wasn't able to meet one this summer.

    Good to have you back. Gotwoot just isn't the same without you posting the threads for new series (no matter if you watch them yourself or not...).

    Welcome back! The General Anime section was pretty quiet without you ^^ Well, at least, I'll be looking forward to your updates in various threads again

    WD, was it this Sigmund Freud Action figure?

    I have the Jesus action figure from that series. I got it at the Andy Warhol Museum.
