Working titele: Finding Home

It has now been snowing for three days straight - and only stopped an hour or so ago. There is snow everywhere, and piles of it. Very very pretty. So today I decided it was time to face the music and go get some real winter gear. I needed waterproof warm shoes or boots, and a coat. So I went downtown to get that stuff, and also took a stroll through the Common and looked at all the pretty snow and trees.



Blessed be H&M and discount shoestores, Coat and boots came to less than $100. Until now I've basically been walking around in converse sneakers and a hoodie, which was in fact decently warm, but not even slightly waterproof. Especially the shoes - I really needed something better. The new shoes are all fuzzy and warm on the inside - very nice.

After walking around downtown and taking pictures of all the snow, I went to the cinema to see Låt den rätte komma in (Let the right one in). It's a Swedish vampire movie, based on a Swedish horror novel that I red last year, it was actually pretty good. Both book and movie are worth the bother. There's this thing called the Sunday Night Film Club - which is basically just that someone makes an announcement about what movie to see that sunday and where, and anyone who's interested shows up, and after the movie you go eat and chat. Everyone gets their own ticket and such, so you don't need be a member, or pay in advance, or sign up, or anything like that. It was really nice and very informal. There were six of us, the others knew each other, but I didn't know anyone. I had a really good time though, and I'll probably do it again.

Now, while making this post, I've also been trying to upload stuff to Flickr, and somehow messed up my iPhoto library. So now it's re-indexing my 3000 photos...joy. Only 2400 to go... I'll add some snaps to this post once that's done.

Edt: Allrighty, here's the pics. More on Flickr, as usual.

Last day of the happiness meme :o)

I had a great day today. Went to IKEA with some nice people I had never met before, but who turned out to be lovely. Got senapssill and löksill, some more glögg and pepparkakor, and tealights. Also some cheap sheets for when mum gets here. The snow is still here - tomorrow I'll hopefully get out to take some pictures.

I have to get a winter coat, and possibly boots. I have a pair, but the zip broke, so I'll have to get them fixed. For being Swedish, I'm woefully unprepared for winter - I walk around in converse-alikes and a big hoodie, which I can fit multiple layers under, a tuque, scarf, and rubbish gloves. The shoes are really the biggest issue - my feet get cold and wet, not good.
