First, we watched 'Mr. Woodcock', a comedy with Billy Bob Thornton and Seann William Scott. Actually quite fun all the way through. Perhaps a bit following the standard route of these sorts of films, but still entertaining. A little fun, this film is directed by the same person as 'Lars and the Real Girl', someone who (according to IMDb mini-trivia) "made television commercials for fiteen years".

Then Berglund called, all of a sudden. He was going to stay at his parents house in the country over the weekend. His parents was in Gothenburg so he'd feed the cats, cut the grass, etc. So, he asked us if we wanted to come along. Sounded like a good idea. So we went. We ate tacos for dinner, a dish none of us had eaten for like an eternity. Delicious!
After dinner, we decided to see a movie. Berglund's parents had this modern tv box with possibilities of renting movies using only the remote control. So, we zapped through the range of titles, not sure about what was good or bad. Guess this is the downside of not having IMDb next over your shoulder. Anyways, as I (stupid) declared "foreign (non US/SWE) productions is often underrated, we should give that one a try!", seeing a title "Dungeon Girl". So we picked it, only to discover a really slow start. Loads of b/s that didn't make much sense. After approximately fifteen minutes the playback hung up. Stupid boxer system. Gah! So, since that film wasn't that interesting (at all) anyways, we didn't give it any more tries. Instead, we picked a DVD from a film cabinet in their livingroom. The dice fell on 'Wasabi', a action-comedy featuring Jean Reno. It was quite entertaining all the way. Jean Reno is a violent cop in France, getting suspended after punching the police commissioner's son to the hospital. So, today, as I get back to civilization and got the chance to look that crap movie up on IMDb, an average rating of one dot something does not surprise me at all. Shitty video..

Today Saturday, before we left, we went down the arable land (just a few yards from their house), looking on all the sheep that were there on pasture. Really wonderful, I think it's the first time in my life I've seen so many sheep at once. Like fifthy sheep, just wondering around. When they saw us, they came close to the fence. I actually succeeded patting a couple of them. Especially some of the younger sheep had not yet developed the sense of caution for human being. However, when we left, they followed us as far as the fence let them. Funny, really. Wish I had brought my camera.
