Friday

Today I have had lack of motivation problems. I got myself to read some for the test (biochemistry about hormones...), but it just took so long I got restless.

I had decided to go to town in the evening to shop some more X-mas presents. Now I almost have everything! Of course I had to sneak into my bookshop. And I found this and fell in love. So I brought it home! Here is my very own:





I love the details of the cover:




Inside of the notebook:



I have kept a diary over the books I have read for about 6 years (if I remember correctly). And because I read a lot it has really been a blessing. I can just open my bookjournals and look up all the great books I had forgotten that I have read. It is something I really recommend.
And it is not only Moleskine that has these types of journals, since they are quite pricy you maybe want to look at some cheaper (and just as handy and nice) than the Moleskine. In Swedish I have bought some that only costed me 4 euros. So there are alternatives.
But since I got some birthday money I had to have another Moleskine. They are the best.

A funny(?) thing happened as I stood in line to pay at the bookstore. A man, who clearly had had a lot of vodka, stood behind me in line. He was mumbeling somehing, and I wasn't quite sure if he talked to me. Well he at some point said that he was just looking at my book covers. Then he showed me his (a Terry Pratchett, yök) and asked me if I have read it. I answered something in Estonian and then it was my turn to pay. The saleswoman explained to me that I would get -12% on Tuesday and today only -5% with my student card (which I knew). I replied something, and then the man from before jumped in beside me and said: "You have a very bad accent!" Then he laughed, excused himself, and stood behind me again. Well thank you too. Here I am at least trying to say some of the 10 words I know in Estonian, and there comes a annoying man having to point it out to me.
The fact is, I hate people who point out my accent, in which language whatsoever. Even though I know that I have a accent speaking anything else but Swedish (there you could also say that I do have an accent because it does not sound like the Swedish they speak in Sweden). I want to be able to speak without people knowing which language is my mother tongue. And I have a looooooooong way until I even can have a proper discussion in Estonian, not to mention the accent. It is just one of my things. And it hurts my ego ;)

I also bought a new pair of jeans since I had to throw away two pairs last week, they were so worn out. And I made a stop at the food store, because as I mentioned I hate going there if I do not combine it with something else I have to do (lazy girl...). So tonight I made this yummy salad:

Ingredients:
Iceberg salad
Cucumber
Tomato
Feta-cheese
Sundried tomatoes+the oil there are in
Sunflower seeds
Ciabatta with jalapenos

And I have already seen a movie, Shrek 4, which was a nice movie! The rest of the evening I think I will put on some Christmas music and write some Christmas cards!


P.S. Moleskine has a new series of notebookes, called Passions. To this series my book journal belongs, but there are also journals on music, wellness, movies, wines and recipes. A great gift idea for Christmas :)
