[12 Aug 2005|05:41pm] Hooray! For me! I got my work permit today! Finally going back to the hard working socialist life I was born to live. Music: Silver Jews - 'Punks In The Beerlight' (Tanglewood Numbers, 2005) 7 comments|post comment

[30 Jul 2005|01:54pm] Hem ljuva hem. So, Johan and I are getting settled into our new apartment. It was a real shock to the system after living with my folks for so long and after a hectic 2 weeks prior to moving. The wedding reception and the family vacation were both great and stressful at the same time, but more of the former than the latter, of course! Now its mostly peaceful, we have space and quiet and beach (only a 5 minute walk away!) and drawing and reading and cooking! And all new Cuisinart, and All Clad and Crate and Barrel everything, its heavenly! Now all thats missing is the couch and dsl, both expected next week. For now we eat and hang out in our little kitchen nook or japanese style on the living room floor around our lonely coffee table. I'm back to work, still doing 6 days a week, and having to wear cashmere in this weather is hell on earth. But I'm keeping my eyes out for a new job, so wish me luck! Of course, its not all flowers and sunshine, things are hard, sometimes harder than they should be. But I'm also happier than I have ever been in my whole life, and I'm pretty lucky to be able to say that. On a simpler note, does anyone have a favorite recipe they would be so kind as to share?
