The Day After

Yesterday was mums birthday. I made a chicken pie and a rich Death By Chocolate cake, both of which tasted fantastic (if I do say so myself), but this morning I feel terrible. I don't know if it was the food or the tiny bit of wine I drank but my stomach hurts so much!
Just as he left, Jens said he felt the same so I don't think it's a bug (unless it's something I caught from him last night) so we'll just have to wait and see what happens.

Tele2

Tele2 suck. I put money on my phone almost an hour and a half ago and I still haven't gotten an sms saying that my phone has been topped up yet. I still can't send messages!
RAAGGEE!!

No Ordinary Family..

..Is so good!
I have just finished episode 12 (Season 1) and just can't stop.
The story revolves around a family who's plane crashlands in a lake in a Brazilian jungle and who, upon returning home, find out they have developed superpowers. Each episode is another slice of their life as they try to keep their powers a secret while leading normal lives.
It's not cheesy, either, like other shows could be when handling this subject.
I give this show 5 out of 5!

Mindmelt

So today I youtubed Rebecca Black to see why Anton had said don't listen to her.
I almost died of laughter, it was so gay.
then I saw a comment saying the chorus sounded like the one from Justin Bieber's "Baby" and after almost 20minutes considering, I listened to the song to see.

What sucks is that I actually started mouthing the words to the chorus near the end of the song while concentrating on something else, and only ater did I realize my sin.

OH GOD, PURGE THESE DEVILS FROM ME!

Fateless/The Attic

Tonight I watched The Attic and Fateless, two holocaust films.

The Attic: The Hiding of Anne Frank is a 1988 TV film based on Miep Gies' book Anne Frank Remembered. The film tells the true story of Gies' struggle to keep the family hidden and safe, as the Nazis turn Amsterdam upside-down. (Based upon Gies' memoirs and Anne Frank's famous diary).

Fateless is the story of a Hungarian teenage boy who is sent to concentration camps at Auschwitz, Buchenwald, and Zeitz. It's apparently semi-autobiographal.

Both are really good if you like these sorts of films. The first one is English speaking and Pretty sad, while the second is Hungarian speaking, subbed in lots of languages (Including Swedish) and is possibly one of the saddest films I've ever seen.
I'd reccomend both films to anyone who enjoys Holocaust films.

Preab San Ól

Not only is this my favorite poem ever written, but it's also my favorite Irish song.
It's a poem that's sung to a tune without any background music. This is the English translation, the original text was written in Irish.
I'm told that the English is a very loose translation, but a literal translation neither rhymes, nor fits the metre.

Preab San Ól
By Riocard Bairéad (Anglicised as Richard Barret)

Why spend your leisure bereft of pleasure,
Amassing treasure, why scrape and save?
Why look so canny at every penny?
You’ll take no money within the grave.
Landlords and gentry with all their plenty
Must still go empty where’er they’re bound.
So to my thinking, we’d best be drinking,
Our glasses clinking in round on round.

King Solomon’s glory, so famed in story,
Was far outshone by the lily’s guise.
But hard winds harden both field and garden;
Pleading for pardon, the lily dies.
Life’s but a bauble of toil and trouble,
The feathered arrow, once shot ne’er found.
So lads and lasses, because time passes,
Come fill your glasses for another round.

The huxter greedy he blinds the needy
Their straits unheeding, shouts, “money down!”
His special vice is his fancy prices,
For a florin’s value he’ll charge a crown.
With hump for trammel, the Scripture’s camel
Missed the needle’s eye and so came to ground.
Why pine for riches while still you’ve stitches
To hold your britches up — another round!

The schooner trading ‘tween Spain and Aden
Returns well laden with oil and corn.
And from Gibraltar her course she’ll alter
And steer for Malta and the Golden Horn.
With easy motion they sail life’s ocean
With ne’er a notion they’ll run aground.
It’s nought but miming, so ends my rhyming
And still we’ve time in for another round!

Superman/Wonder Woman joke

A stupid joke Amber told me that I know Jens will like.

Superman is flying over the city one day and looks down and sees Wonder Woman lying butt naked, spread eagle on a roof. He's always had a thing for her! He thinks, "I am faster than a speeding bullet! I can swoop down, do my thing and be gone before she ever know what hit her!". So, he does just that! Bam! Bam! Bam! and flies off.

Suddenly Wonder Woman says, "What the he'll was that?" and The Invisible man says, "I don't know, but it HURT!"

TOK Poem

Ylva is the best Theory of Knowledge teacher EVAR.
Today in TOK we got a different sort of assignment - We were split into 5 groups, each with their own little project. We had to make something (within our theme) in 25 minutes, with the name "Spring"
Themes:
Group 1 Music
Group 2 Theater
Group 3 Art
Group 4 Poetry
Group 5 Dance
I was in group 4. Here's the sonnet we wrote:

Spring
By Anton, chelsea, Luwam, Alice and Annelie
Shall I compare thee to a springday?
the winter has been for too long,
But April will soon break to may.
The birds, twittering, sing their song,

the shoots, newly broken out,
Now blooming in their glory.
The dew is lying all about;
The set of a beautiful love story.

Bathed in light, on grass we lie,
Basking together in the sun,
The rays work, the dew to dry
And soon we will, barefotted, run.

Now the spring is finally here
And the winter disappears.

The first line is taken from Shakespear's "Sonnet 18"

England

I officially know when I'm coming to England with Jens.

Other than that I have nothing planned so far, so hit me up if you want to meet up :)

Week 14

So week 14 has just started.
So far I've lost my buscard in the lining of my school bag, been praised for my strange new hair colour and had an argument in Biology about Global Warming.

Oh and I found out that it's only a week to go till I have to hand in my 1000 word EE draft. Eek!
