news

ALMOST time for some COOL news!

Almost.


For now, I'm drinking tea, clearing out things, and thinking about cool things that could and should happen in my life.
And spring is coming!
May-June-July.

MAY-JUNE-JULY.

For any of you who don't know, these months in Tallinn are GLORIOUS.


So peace out, my darlings!
Magic is something you make.
Follow your own heart, and s_rew all else.

WITH LOVE.
Always.

kesäaika

I'm super in the mood for blogging.
This is nice.

https://soundcloud.com/onlychillstep
First of all, this is my current beat.
100% current beat.
This was our Fin-dventure soundtrack as well.
I plan to walk in chillstep through this summer, and onwards.



I have quite the to-do list for today but currently I am concentrating on coffee, an elongated breakfast and 24.
Jack Bauer is not having a good day, as per usual.
Later on I think I'll go over the things I figured out in Finland, and make some coherent notes.

I start the tour in exactly a week.
This means it's get-your-thoughts-focused-o'clock.
And it's only 11.30AM.

Sometimes it's hard just be to okay. Scrap that - not okay, rather "awesome".
What I mean is - because there's this constant sense of "I have to do this", or "I have to do that", and all these thoughts about life and career and whatever, along with some problems, and "issues". Blah blah.
So, it becomes hard to just ride the wave. And genuinely say, yes, I'm doing really well, and not for a day or so, but for a longer period of time.
But this is what we all need to practice.

Kyllä tämä kesäaika kestää koko elämän.

I'm doing pretty super, thanks.

granny

The granny I'm absolutely going to become.
This is me just before my 100th birthday.
Which is also when I decided to die.
After the birthday, that is.
100 and then, c ya!
It gives such good structure I feel.

Granny with a cigar.
I'd sooooo tell the BEST stories.
The LIVING best.

Here's to hardcore Grannys.

Rainy-cat is going out.
In floral wellies.
And what.

Also, it genuinely looks like my webcam is dying.
I mean, what resolution is that.

But wellies make EVERYTHING awesome.

Rainy days.

My 100th download was the finale of Dexter Season 7.
This pleases me.

Seriously.
So good.

cape

A. gave me a cape.
I literally felt like Batman.
It was pretty awesome.

Can't wait for spring to find a Batmobile and hit the town.

Cape.
M.


Sorry for the marvellous quality.

The "Phantom of the Opera" audition music is in my inbox and I'm literally DYING. Like, DYING.
With excitement and I don't even know what!?

visual

useful

I really really really should get one of those parka things. They just really really inspire me to feel useful, yet comfy. What an awesome mix of feelings to have.

Today is for lunch. AEM and I are going to this fancy pub place, that looks like a pub but the inside is everything but. We used to go quite a lot when we were still at university. We always sit at the same table. It's such a nice understated setting and then the stuff that leaves the kitchen makes you go - whaaat? Cause it's just immaculate. So he decided to get us a table for 1:30pm today and since we're in the area we're gonna go see some friends at uni. So hooray, for a nice day!





I've also been a good little cookie and almost sorted my UK-phone/phonenumber issue. Hopefully I'll get that battle over tomorrow which will be a huge tick in a huge box.

Happy Saturday, everyone!

Lips of Babel

Thirteen beautiful models from around the globe recite tongue twisters for http://www.motilo.com in their native language --- And take stock, because this might be your only chance to see that many pairs of sensuous lips, belonging to the world's top models, talk directly at you.
Elle Muliarchyk, photographer, ex-model, artist, curator of tongue twisters, rounded up fifty of her model buddies to recite local tongue twisters in their own language. The result is a joyous montage of beauty and curious sounds.

I love this video so so much.
Women, the glorious creatures!

and another thing

I'M HOOKED ON DOWNTON ABBEY.

Like, seeeriously.
Seriously.
Seriously hooked.

I do have the tendency to like anything pre-modern-day when it comes to TV-series. And this is a classic example of the upstairs-downstairs format, which serves as an interesting storyboard anyway. And this is really well done.
I mean, there's some complaint as to the plot going downhill somewhat in season 3, but 1 and 2 have engulfed me. Like literally swallowed me whole.
Hooked, I tell you.

And the cast is amazeballs. Truly, England's finest, pretty much.

Just, one of those things you watch and just go: "Yes, okay, thanks, I feel great now. MORE PLEASE."

Yay, for Downton!
Yay, for ITV!

OMG MATTHEW I LOVE YOU.

(Had to get it out of the system..)

knitting

So last night I stayed up knitting till 6am.
No, this is not a normal occurrence. It's just I hadn't done any knitting in so long and I really like it.
It's like, so so good. Seriously.
And I was watching Downton Abbey like there's no tomorrow.
And so I ended up being awake till 6am, as opposed to getting home after the gig and going to sleep.
Why the heck not.

Oh, and I decorated the tree today. Mum was flexible so I thought we'd go for a New-York-City-toy-store-dreamland vibe. Which basically meant, really simple lights, and these tiny tiny wooden Christmassy toy figurines. I'll post a pictures of the finished tree later.

It's so weird, whenever touring comes round again. My life boils down to eating, sleeping, singing, sitting in a car, and then repeating that. Which is great, don't get me wrong. Just means I don't ever think any interesting thoughts at all.
So therefore I knit, and watch Downton Abbey, and you know.
But it's nice.
I must not forget Christmas is nearly nearly here!

WOO FOR KNITTING.
M. 

hard as nails

I mean, like, seriously.
Endurance.
Endurance.
Just insane, I mean, what she can do with a skipping rope.
I've started trying, slowly, so I wouldn't actually murder my shins.
Also, how great would it be to have a personal trainer, with. an. eyepatch.

Awesome.
M.
