First blooming tree this year

I'm posting a lot of phone pictures...because it's so simple. The quality is maybe not that great but yesterday I discovered that the quality of the actual iPhone is flawless, close to unbreakable.

I was running full speed, didn't notice that my phone jumped up from my pocket, it crashed on the pavement. Of course it got a small scratch on it but that was all and it works fine. It wasn't the first time I've dropped it either.
I'm impressed.

Spring

Sitting in Madison square garden right now. 71 degrees. (That's 22
celcius)
In March! Lovely, right? The trees hasn't even started to bloom yet. The new yorkers and tourists filling up the
parks, eating ice cream and are happy =)

Good morning!

As you can see todays forecast looks even more promising ha ha.

The moon is very misleading, I actually woke up by bright sun in my eyes, so it's up already alright.

Yesterday I spent the entire day in the sun, walking around, drinking coffee and catching up with friends while New Yorkers stumbled by half drunk in their green outfits. The mood was on top all over the city. People were cheery and happy. St.Patty's day and blazing sun seemed to have lifted everybody's mood.

The nice and friendly american comes out in everybody and the rude winter new yorker is gone for the season.

It's really true as they say that New York is like a different city during spring. Lovely lovely atmosphere!

Looks promising!

So today I plan on being lazy in the sun... =)

If I don't fall asleep. Was at an event with open champagne bar last night and woke up early this morning...so I might surrender to a midday nap noon coming. I'm gonna try to get myself out the door and a cup of coffee before that happens. We'll see. I'm a bit hesitant because it's st. Patrick's day today... which means the city is gonna be packed with drunk people starting around brunch. In New York everyone always welcome every reason to get smashed. Irish or not. Well in that aspect I guess it's just like Sweden. Ha.

Happy St. Patrick's day!

Slow

Video still not processed...

I'm eating pizza from the italian restaurant downstairs... mmm yummy...

Taking it easy today, resting up, have had a bad cold, starting to feel slightly better, I think, I hope.

I love living here in Astoria.

In the beginning of the week we went furniture shopping in the spring sun at Steinway. Nice helpful people and delicious brunch: best breakfast crepe ever; with spinach, vegetables and, yes, eggs! Sounded interesting, could've tasted weird but no, it was exactly what I needed that day =)

Today it's raining like crazy... been raining since yesterday and still coming down heavy. The wind is roaring outside the windows. Perfect day to be in and eat warm food! =)

Connection and processing mishaps - theme of the week?

Hmm... I wrote a post before the other snow picture posts to kind of introduce them, but I added a video and it's still processing! So slow... I deleted and added it again, I was thinking it must be something wrong when it takes that long, but maybe I just made it take even longer?

Btw is anybody even reading my blog anymore?

I know I'm slow at posting every now and then but I would still be very happy if you cared to comment some... I think it would encourage me to write more often =)

*******************************

I have just had 48 hours of internet issues... I'm not kidding. I had set up my new wireless printer to my wifi... Printer worked fine but wifi stopped working after a while, even though it said I was connected, I just couldn't browse. Then the printer connection stopped working, but wifi started to work. Just to stop working so nothing at all worked recently. I tried troubleshooting the printer...or I was going to try to but it said it had to be connected via USB to be able to troubleshoot. Then I realized that in order to hook up the printer via USB to my computer I need a USB to USB cord... (right?) Or am I missing something?? Of all the USB cords I have they look different in both ends like "a normal USB cord". And of course the printer didn't come with one, so I couldn't even trouble shoot.

I just redid the entire connection set up instead. Now it all works! Smoothly! Knock on wood that it lasts.

I feel like a genius for solving the problem

my obviously not genius me somehow must've created. =P

Later on at night...

...there was even more snow!

This is what I should've done =)

This could be somewhere in northern Sweden!

After a long day of walking around in the snow,

now it was my time to cuddle up inside =D

The February Blizzard.

When everybody else declared themselves beaten by the snow and cuddled up inside, (with blankets and hot chocolate in front of a movie, I imagine) I went out in the winter landscape, as the true Swede I am ;P

Once in Manhattan the snow was more like rain.

I got worried it would all melt away at once.

Like most of the stores that day:

Tired day

Had some trouble breathing today. Stupid allergies.

Hmpfhh...air is overrated anyways.

For my fellow Swedes

Ni har antagligen redan sett det här

men jag såg det först nu så jag lästa detta

och kände mig tvungen att kommentera följande:

När väljaren är mig uppfattas den svartvita bilden med den orange-blåa loggan (Under Affisher. Person.) inte alls som dokumentär eller förmedlar allvar. Den tar inte tag i mig. Jag tror inte heller detta beror på att han trots allt har en slags kostymjacka på sig. Nej jag tycker det förmedlar feghet. Det speglar exakt dokumentets budskap. Ett parti som vill gömma "människan" bakom partiet. Individuella röster ska tystas.

Jag undrar ju dessutom var alla dessa ord som inte ska användas kommer ifrån? Uppenbarligen måste de ju finnas aktivt inom partiet för att ens tas upp, så det motbevisar ju sig själv. Moderaterna uppmanar enbart till att använda andra ord för samma begrepp. Det handlar inte om att försöka driva en åsikt, utan bara om att kalla "same shit a different name". Det är falskt och påklistrat.
