HOT HOT H.E.A.T

Last day in August. Where did summer go? I don't know because this summer was the worst but finally it seems like things are getting better, thank God. I went to the Royal Opera on Friday and saw the most amazing Troubador by Verdi. It was so awesome. The singers were great especially the tenor singing the troubador's role. He was amazing! The public including me and my friend were extatic. You don't expect that on an ordinary evening. I said to H, who is so kind to drive us home after every opera visit, that we should be out pretty soon after the curtain fall because there is not a premiére or something extra. But it certainly was. The applause were many, long and welldeserved. One other singer I must mention is the mezzosoprano who played the gypsy. What voice and the voice of her and the tenor came together so nice and with Verdi's wonderful music and the words that just spoke to me I was totally overwhelmed by emotions and moved to tears. What a wonderful unexpected...

It's Friday again and a weekend lies ahead. The weekdays really fly. It's Monday and then it's Friday. I'm going to watch H.E.A.T tomorrow. They have a gig here in Upplands Vasby in the "Fadderbyn" which is the place where they are rehearsing. Speaking of H.E.A.T - you have to vote for them being one of the bands playing at Sweden Rock festival. There is a poll right now at: www.swedenrock.com . Unfortunately you can't vote on their English site so you have to click on the Swedish flag. Below the Sweden Rock Festival-logo you see a menu. All the way to the right you find a section that's called 'Rösta inför 2009'. Click that button. From here it's fairly easy, just check H.E.A.T (the first band of the letter H), and scroll all the way to the bottom and submit ('skicka') your vote. They really want to play there again next summer. I saw my doctor yesterday and he told me I wasn't feeling well, as if I didn't know that. Bu...

I got my diploma today! So now I'm certified accountant economist and it feels great. Despite this awful summer where everything seemed to happen (not in a good way) I managed to write my diploma assignment and pass. Yesterday my whole class including our teacher went out for dinner at a Greek restaurant in Stockholm. It was so wonderful and we had a lot of fun. This class has been the best. We have had so much fun although the subjects themselves aren't that laughable (is that a word?) I'm actually very proud of myself :-) Tomorrow it's back to work again and I think J said he would come for dinner.

I have finally seen it. What may you ask. Of course the movie Mamma Mia. And it was just as wonderful as I thought it would be. I have seen the musical in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Las Vegas and I loooove it. It always makes me happy leaving the theatre with a smile that stays for a lon g while. The same thing happened with the movie. The difference this time was that I'm amazed how well the actors sang. I mean I don't think of neither Pierce Brosnan, Stellan Skarsgard as singers but they did a great job. Of course Meryl Streep was just gorgeous in the role as Donna and she could sing and so could Colin Firth. He had a real nice voice. Was it the best film ever? Well, that depends. It was absolutely one of the best movies in musical/comedy making you feelgood. In that effect it should win an Oscar. But dramatically not the best but it doesn't matter. When I go to a movie I want to feel good afterwards. There is enough bad things happening in the world. To sum it up - I LOV...
