Don't start work until 4 PM today, so we took the opportunity of sleeping a couple of hours extra. So, I woke up to the sound of my fiancé making coffee, just wonderful. Then I heard the phone ring. I was barely awake, but I only had one thing in my mind so I held my reception up high ;D
As soon as I [by the overheard conversation] understood that she was talking to someone about my apartment keys, I jumped out of the bed, and snatched the cell. "Eerr, it's me, you got my keys?" (sort of, but more polite). The man in the other end of the line had me to repeat the printed code on the key, just to verify that it was really my key. So, validation turned into stage Complete and I got ordered to come get my key at the landlord building (which lies only a block away).
So, it was my landlord who had my keys. Just wonderful. Safe indeed. So, I drank my coffee and went over to fetch them keys. Took the opportunity of asking if they have had someone to look on the issue with the lack of a plastic strip (to tighten the little space to the left of the kitchen sink; making water drip down). After all I don't want to catch mold down under there, hehe. Someone was onto it, cool.
The day has passed well. Went to my beloved fiancé's parents house and had a sweet sunbath. Work starts at 4 PM, time to go!

Such a crazy weekend!
Yeah, it all started back in Friday. I went to take the garbage out, and though I'd grasp the opportunity and reserve time down in the laundry room. So, I've started this thing with sorting out different kinds of garbage; metal cans in one beholder, rigid plastic in another, etcetera. So, I guess my mind was so taken by this so I got a bit [too] distracted for my own good.
How come?
Well, as I went across the street to go down into the laundry basement, I saw that I didn't have the key. "Darn, why didn't I bring it?!", I thought. As I thought to myself that I would have the time to book a laundry time tomorrow anyways, I went back to my apartment. Nothing more to worry about. Friday passed, and we went to sleep.
Saturday.
We woke up, ate breakfast, everything included. La la la, an hour later we decided to head downtown to go rent a movie. We were just about to leave (she was already outside) when I just couldn't find my apartment keys. Wtf. Where could it be? We searched the apartment. Everything. Sucessful? Nah. Then it suddenly hit me..
"How could I enter the garbage room but not the laundry basement, since those places uses the same key??"
DAMN! It was clearly obvious that I had forgot the key in the garbage room door bolt. Damn, damn, double damn. So, how honourable are my neighbours? I have no clue. Anyway, we posted a note with our phone number and a "Please.." on the garbage room door. This was two days ago. This far no one has called. We'll just have to wait and see.
Sunday.
We had just finished our breakfast, when the doorbell ringed. Who was it? I looked in the peephole but didn't get a clear vision. Someone sitting sort of squat outside my door. I opened. Guess who? My mother. Out of nowhere, sort of. This visit was not announced in any(!) sort of way. She just stood there, carrying lots of bags, containing everything from tea bags to electric water boilers. So, she has stayed here for a whole day. This whole Sunday, me and my beloved fiancé has had the pleasure of having my beloved mom here. It's been a whole lot of fun, really. She's amazing in every way. So, we just took our farwell's on the bus station. Anyways, a weekend that was truly beyong the usual.
Anyways, I hope my apartment key will turn up. A happy ending is always to hope for, hehe.

Another movie, Nintendo Wii, between jobs..
Yeah..
There's lots of things going through my mind right now. I mean, lots of things has happened, and everything's changing. A change to the better, is of course what I'm hoping for. Anyways, it couldn't really be anything else but a change for the better, because my forearm was in a pretty messy condition, so I couldn't have held on anyways.
Now what? Not much. Right now I'm selling subscriptions for monthly lottery tickets, this over the phone. Today Thuesday I managed to sell my first(!) ticket. Someone in a wealthy suburb to our great capital bought herself a subscription. Hope she wins the great grand million, so that I can feel I've done something good.
Anyways, I've also tried the still sort of new gaming console Nintendo Wii. It was really cool. My friend Johan took me to his place over lunch, and he told me that he had just bought the console with a bounce of games and various accessories. So, I got to try Mario Kart Wii aswell as Wii Sports. The first game, Mario Kart, in where I were supposed to navigate my cart through a plastic wheel that you sort of layed to the regular control device into. Well, it worked. I navigated my cart from point A and straight(?) away over the finish line. Wow! I did not end up in the last position. On the other hand, I didn't come 1:st either, but Johan is the gaming maestro so that's his thingie ;) Afterward, when we played Wii Sports, I actually won(!) a set of tennis. Don't ask me how, I just did it. It was real fun, just bashing the arm (attached to the control device) in the air. Such respons. Like Johan said - quite a whistle for a gaming machine. Really brilliant with the whole navigation control. It really follows your moves. Wow!
Anyways, me and my beloved fiancé has also watched another movie. This was a great film. I was so sick and tired of all them slaughter movies so I could just puke. This was sort of a family/drama flick. The plot? About four orphan boys; four real good friends, sort of like brothers. They get to go on some sort of vacation with a couple from a little village near the sea. There, lots of things will come to happen. Each of these four kids has a great wish - of course, getting adopted.. Well, I won't spoil the movie but it was really great so you should go see it.

Else than that? Well, not much. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, my bike (my transport vehicle, hobby, for-a-better-environment-supporter, etc) is temporarily out of order. How come? A flat, of course. Happened when I least expected it. It always does, right? Anyways, today I made up a decision, a rather tough one, really. The rear tire was in a real bad condition, the man in the local store told me, so it really needed to be replaced by a new one. Hmmm. So, everything: tire, tube, plus their work (I'm afraid I'll wreck the new tube if I try to do it myself). It all ended up on almost SEK 500. Awergh, like my economy wasn't bad enough already? Yeah yeah, I'll live. Today I'll go to the LBS and pick up my piece of machinery - locked and ready to rumble the streets again, hrhr..
Well, I've taken the local bus to and from work for two days nows, and it feels neither economical nor healthy. I have all this energy, see.. :-)
Caio!

More horror and nothing new..
I'm getting real bored with this whole "What are they" scenario. And then when the vampires questioned God, I was like "Eerhm, wtf is he doing?". Anyways, their language reminded me about the Tibanese Orc language.

Movie: The Mist (2007)
This was today's eaze-back moment. It was a rather flat movie, although with an astonishing end. My fiancé liked it too. The horror itself was easy on the mind, it was like if you didn't know weather to feel sorry for / dispite the 'creatures' that came up out of nowhere.
Based on a book written by Stephen King, for that matter.

A new era has come
I was about to go do some laundry, when I realized this. My beloved fiancé had went along with me down into the laundry room (which is in another basement in our neighborhood). When we opened the laundry bags, it turned out that like half the garment was hers. Then, she instructed me in how we would not use "bleech washing powder" anymore. Why? A hand full of reasons. Also, no Comfort softening or anything like that, since it's known to cause allergic reactions.
I just stood there, partaking this new information. Later on, when we got back into the apartment, I noticed that the bottom drawer [ where I earlier had instructed her to "build an empire" ] was not so modest anymore. It was filled with various clothes. At once, I was filled with a warm distinct feeling of happiness. We were building a future.
Only a couple of seconds laters I snapped out of the fog. I felt on my hip-pocket that it was empty. Gosh, where had I put my wallet? I looked around in the apartment, to finally realize that it just had to be ..in there! Gash, it's the first time ever I pull a mistake like that, really. I may be a bit absent-minded, but I have a well-taught force by habit to triple-check all my pockets, before putting the laundry in the washing machine. This time - I hadn't. Whoa, I ran across the yard, down the basement, in less or more panic, used my key-clip to get in, of course to hear the sound of the running machine. I tried hard resetting using the main AC lever in the ceiling - without any luck. The machine just went on in the procedure. Then I tried the cellular phone ON/OFF style (holding the power button for a couple of seconds). At first nothing. But just before the nanosecond where I'm about to let the button slip, I see how the procedure indicator is moving down (1->2->3->..), where usually each step is supposed to last for like 15-30 minutes. Anyways, I kept holding the button until it clicked so I could open it. Whoa, my wallet. All inventories were still intact, yet slightly wet. I restarted the machine and walked back to the apartment.
Anyways, where was I..
Oh yeah, we got something going on here..
Really sweeeeeet! ;)

A stroll in the wild and a broken rice cooker
The day started out nicely. Me and my beloved fiancé went on a bicycle trip, which ended on Mariehemsängarna, where we laid down, drank some coffee that we had brough in a thermos.
She looked so sweet so I just had to snap a photo.
.jpg)
Later on the day disaster came to us. We were about to inaugurate our newly bought rice cooking machine. Suddenly there was a strange clicking sound. After having a look on the machine I realized that we were probably the unluckiest people on earth. The first time we used it, it had went crash boom bang.
Anyways, went to the store and showed my reciept the next day. Got a new machine, which [after a few cooking sessions] still seems to hold on just fine.
