X-Men: First Class

I really liked this movie. It is a little more violent than I thought it would be, but I still liked it. I haven't read the comic books, so I maybe am not an expert or anything, but I thought it was really enlightening to see how X-Men formed, and the story line before what we all know. There was also a small bit with Wolverine which I wasn't expecting, and was a nice little treat! It also doesn't hurt that I like James McAvoy as an actor. Magneto is actually sort of a frightening character, even when he is on the good side. I wish things would have worked out so that Magneto and Professor Xavier could have stayed friends. But I don't think there would be the same sort of dynamic if there were two friends fighting evil, instead of two friends set against each other. I also noticed little things that would have started problems in their friendship. For example, when Charles Xavier takes the new x-men, including Erik, to his mansion which will be turned into the school, Erik said something like "You must have had it really hard" or something, that isn't a direct quote. But I think you can see how Erik is noticing the difference between them, and how different his childhood was from his friend. Even though it isn't like Charles had a great childhood. It just was on the opposite end of the spectrum.

I am now 21 and I am feeling great!

Arctic Monkeys show

Yesterday I went to see The Arctic Monkeys (and The Vaccines) sort of last decision, and I am SOOOO glad I did. They were awesome. And I really got into the music and dancing (by dancing, I mostly mean singing and jumping up and down a lot). Here are some pictures. My little camera doesn't do so well with concerts, but we manages to get some good ones. The problem is that there needs to be an action AND an indoor setting. Maybe firework setting would work? Actually, no, I think it would just have a super long exposure time and then it would just be blurry. Ah, well. We also got some good video, but since that takes so long to upload, these pictures will have to do. I love them. So much.





I'm making one of these my desktop.

Norge

A viking ship at a museum in Oslo.

Kitty! This was carved into a sled.

I took this on the train from Oslo to Kristiansand.

Me and my mom hiked to a place called Pulpit Rock. (Preikestolen) It was a pretty long hike, but well worth it. Here my mom is freaking me out. It really is safe, but the picture makes it seem less safe than it is.

And here she is pretending to be rolling off. I failed to find this funny as I lost five years of my life due to pure fear.

This is our "We made it!" picture.

The cliff overlooks a fjord. You can choose to take a cruise to see Pulpit rock, or you can hike the trail to pulpit rock. We chose to hike it, and I'm glad we did. Although there was a not-so-fun part, which is that I got a tick, somehow. My mom had to pull it out with tweezers. Luckily, it was easy to pull out and wasn't full of blood. It still creeped/creeps me out. Blech!

Note to self...

Note to self: Write better notes to self. Ones that don't ever include the word "exercise" in them.

Lungs, burning. Pits, stinky. Limbs, shaky.

But seriously, it is more like note to self: follow note to self much, much, much more diligently.

Giant post about Men and Cats and why I love them.

Mosquitos

Just saw a mosquito in my room. As soon as I get excited about spring, I remember those sneaky bastards. >=(
