Hatch # 7: Making my list...

...and checking it twice, which isn't particularly motivating. For each completed task, two more pops up. I've finished pressies for my flatmates, but there's still loads more to go, or so it feels for my strained budget.

It looks like that might be improved soon, as I'm starting my training for the part-time writing-job I've gotten, which is exciting! It entails writing pieces of texts containing specific key words that will give hits in search engines and means I'll need to register as an independent one woman-buisness. That's the complicated part - meaning accounting and a crapload more tax forms, but it's been done by thousands of people before me and thus shouldn't be brain surgery... At least I'm hoping it won't be! Lol... Apart from extra budgeting means, the job will provide me with some new writing-training and I'm looking forward to it, especially since it's in a field I haven't got that much practice in.

Anyhoo - I've finished one pleasant task - putting together the Christmas outfit I'll be wearing for all the family get-togethers - and these are my perfect new 'dancing shoes'!:)


Other great news - my precious ticket to the Wolfmother-concert in Oslo on the 18th of Febuary arrived in the mail - and this is what pure bliss to the neat price of 60 AUS will look like! Woooman, you're a woman... Singing my heart out and looking forward to it more than I can put into words, even though it would've been even better in native surroundings with my peeps...:)

Extra attention everyone - they're coming!

Oh my God!!!!! I just found out my loverboys are doing a gig in Oslo on the 18th of Febuary, and the tickets are on sale now - which SO means I'm gonna purchase one for yours truly right after I'm done typing in this little tidbit!

I shrieked when I heard - and still can't believe it... It's a tricky date - but I swear I'll be there.

Hatch # 3: Temps gone wild...

It's gone from being weird and tipped over to being bizarre - we're nearly halfway through with December and still haven't had any snow since October/November... All that tells us it's winter is the cold nights with wind howling around the corners. Otherwise it's just like autumn - raining constantly with rather frequent storms... It gets a bit depressing.

However, nothing is like staying inside in weather like this and listening to great music. Thomas Dybdahl for instance, is perfect for autumn blues - warm, soothing voice and melancholic mood comforts a soul in need of a change. A couple of weekends ago I was lucky enough to get to see him in concert at 'Rust' and it was a great experience! One of the best concerts I've been to - mainly because of Thomas' laidback attitude and the devoted audience listening intently while wishing it would never end... Check him out, peeps - it's worth it:) Oh, and some of ya'll will benefit from my having been in purchasing-mood on the night of the show...lol

The ruler of autumn - which his first three albums called 'the October Triology' implies...:)
Right around here he picked up a violin-bow and used that to play the guitar with - fascinating!
Thomas is singing his heart out, to our greatest contentment:) He's kinda cute too, and from my home town! But he has a girlfriend...moh...lol
The band, the disco ball and the peeps that sacrificed limbs to stand closer to the stage than I bothered to in the beginning...
Carina - my darling friend - and me as the concert is about to finish. Can you tell how happy we are from enjoying immensely?
