I wanna hurry home to you
put on a slow, dumb show for you
and crack you up
so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
god I'm very, very frightening
I'll overdo it

Memories mean much more now since the girls and Sraka-man had left. all types of memories.
and after 2 more days in Stockholm and Editors' live gig with enormously cool Chris guitar. uh.
tday is the day of the Victory. and my parents are coming over to see me for a couple of days promising to bring some cottage cheese pancakes for me. yum yum, much better than yeastarday' buns.

memories and the sagnificance of the day mean much more. so here are some shots of the soviet time which is sorta cool.

back from the Editors' gig in Stockholm.
this city still gets me confused with its dualism.
old city is an old city which you think about each time smb pronounces the word "Stockholm". but the city center.

to me its still nothing but the smaller version of London. with everything it has except may be the permanent my beloved smell and parks.
everything but just in a smaller proporcions. thats it.

still have 23 days 'til its over.
gnite.

Keep a light on those you love
They will be there when you die
Baby there's no need to fear
Baby there's no need to cry

Every little piece in your life
Will add up to one
Every little piece in your life
Will it mean something to someone?

she makes sth unbelievable to her songs. and this one sounds amazingly brilliant in acoustic and at the same time so-so different!
Love you, E.G!
