    Paying for long distance call? This is not the nineties, if we got Wi-Fi we're calling each other for free!

    We're not going all crazy with long distance dates, though. And not only because I think we've got capital punishment for disturbing people in the cinema here in Sweden...

    I don't really like going out by myself, but my teenage self is getting a Freddie Mercury movie about 15 years late, so who am I to deny that young girl a night out?

    Wow. Movie theaters have Wi-Fi in Sweden. Classy. The theater where I'm at may not have Wi-Fi, but it does have one thing your fancy, la-di-da theaters don't: spiders. Lots of them. I don't go there very often.

    As I wasn't totally sure I'd seen the film before in my youth, I watched Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal yesterday evening. SotL... what a film. Anthony Hopkins is excellent in it.

    He was frightening in that. I know it's not to everyone's taste, but I preferred his acting in The Remains of the Day alongside Emma Thompson. I always judge how good a movie is by how much I remember of it and it's been decades and I still remember a lot of Remains, but little of Silence.

    I haven't actually seen that, so I may have to give it a watch. Hope it's on Netflix!

    There are very few movies so bad that his part in them isn't worth watching.

    Those damn komik buk movies, unfortunately, are perfect examples.

    I don't know who the fuck that is... LOL. Nikki Kruger is mix of Freddy Kruger and an old high school rival I had, who I have decided to use in my story for Ironic purposes.

    I couldn't say for sure, but I imagine there's quite a line to even politely request the opportunity to poke her, so it may be some time before you have the chance.

    Sweden has yet again reclaimed the throne as the #1 country when it comes to English skill (English-speaking countries excluded)! :cheerleader:

    Skip the line and poke her from afar with a poking-arrow. Any decent archer could certainly do that from across the street.

    Well... Well... my NaNoWriMo story is coming together more and more... finally got the beginning of a plot taking shape... I know who the main villain is now... and what he and his forces represents.

    The theme is also coming together, hardly original but I have yet to explore it, thus it is a brand new-original story out of the mind of Me... LOL.

    Been having some fun, though I will admit this last few parts I sort of had to muscle my way through, writing stuff I wasn't too pleased with, but hey, taht is what revisions are for.

    LeeLee and I are home. She's high as a kite with a wicked heroic scar to show for her adventure today.

    I'll be signing off for a few days to take of her.

    She's still a tad groggy. She just got her first wound washing. I've got her on the inflatable with me on the floor in the bedroom because if I lay in the regular bed she wants to come up.
