Why does time escape?(!)

Hello Blogosphere

Today, I feel like the only thing I've managed to do since seven thirty AM, is that I've taken a bike ride in to the city (to buy fortune cookies, of which I will naturally blog once I've tried them). I have of course, as well, taken two walks, though since I do that everyday, that doesn't feel like the greatest achievement.

Tomorrow, however, I will make a day trip to Helsingborg with some friends. I am in this very moment making lentil-bread (will post the recipe as soon as I possibly can), which I will bring as nosebag.

This Evening, I am as well trimming my leg-muscles, I am also stretching using a new breathing technique, which I will describe thoroughly in a post.

Novella today


Man and woman, baby and child, descend your high horse
Change you habits or feel remorse
This planet needs saving and I mean now
Don't lie around like a lazy old cow
The planet is heating, the poor ones are starving
This is your future, you're carving
Take action NOW! Is this what you want?
If not, then, we'll explain what can be done and what can't?
We will make a series of posts
Explaining and informing from coast to coast
Read and do your best - we'll try not to be vague
or else who knows what'll turn out to be our greatest plague

We will seriously do a series of posts related to the greatest problem of our time; that is; the environmental problem. We don't know exactly when but most probably withing a few days (as soon as I've spoken to Julia about it) By the by, we might, and I say might, be seeing a new poster on this blog as of the start of the Environmental-posts-series.

That Gummie Gummie'll Make You Yummie Yummie


Pun's finished - now today's interesting fact:

Did you know that chewing a gum may make you loose 11 pound (5 kilograms) in one year.

A study made by American scientists shows that chewing a gum makes you burn 11 extra kcals per hour - this is twice as much calories as you would burn by standing instead of sitting down. This means that if you chew a gum 12 hours a day, you will in one year's time loose 11 pounds worth of body fat.

Other good things about chewing gums;

- As when chewing your mouth is filled with saliva, caries and other bacteria won't assault your teeth.

- It tastes good

- You have something to do that keeps you from thinking about what's for dinner (when you're hungry) That way you don't eat snacks etc.

Bad aspects;

- You might become addicted - which is rather expensice

- As gums promotes the production of saliva, the body prepares itself for food which means that you become hungry (I suppose this changes with time because I experience this no more; after having chewed gums more or less everyday, frequently for six months).

- Choose a sugarfree gum or else your teeth will go holey like an Emmentaler-cheese

Health-Guru Oskar Informs


Hello Blogosphere!

I know that I didn't update yesterday, but luckily Julia did so... Yesterday was one of those 'lazy-days' if you know what I mean - didn't quite get anything done... I decided, yesterday, however, that today would be better - that is to say, more of a constructive day, on which was supposed to do both yoga, cooking, blogging and writing - Well you see how well that unraveled... Not so, I have done yoga, cooking and soon blogging - but mostly, I've just chilled - But what the heck, it is summer-holidays, n'est-ce pas?

Anyway, the reason why I'm blogging, disregarding the fact that I feel that I must, is that I, today, have discovered a healthier lifestyle (or something). "Yeah", I know, It sounds like one of those rags like "Se&hör" (in Sweden) (Something like 'star' in the united states) (seriously doubt that such crap magazines exists in Britain). How much it ever might sound like something taken from a rag, I must say I consider it a sincere assertion. You see, yesterday, I saw the most exiting teaser on the series 'Sex Education Show' with the lovely, fresh and upfront reporter Anna Richardson. I decided that, I'd check on TV3Play (The Swedish channel 3's on Demand-service) to see whether I could watch the last episode there... I couldn't...

Instead I checked whether 'youtube.fr' offered anything on the subject. It did and there I also found out that the commercially powered British channel4 served it on Demand. A few (swear)words of delight might have slipped me at this point :-P

Link Channel4;
( http://sexperienceuk.channel4.com/sex-education/season/archives/season-1 )

Thus, I watched about 14 or so episodes of 'Sex Education Show' earlier today. It is not as bad as it sounds though. This isn't one of those 'porn-shows' actually is educative and informative. It is hard to explain, I can promise you that, But the show doesn't make you feel filthy, had you been watching 'Another Gay Movie', it makes you feel healthy, self-ascertained and confident. It does not make you feel deficient in anyway - au contraire - I promise.

Another thing I discovered today, Is that eating is not as hard as I earlier thought. You see, with all those diet-tips out there one feels rather uncomfortable - can I eat that - Oh my god it has 15% fat... So forth. It wasn't like I was following a diet or so but you know, one tend to be affected (especially since I was rather over-weight as a child). Today, however, I read a part of my old cooking-class-book from compulsory-school and I found that the method used in that book was so simple. When it's party, it's party and when it's not, it's not. So don't eat 'wasted calories' (candy, cookies and chips etc.) when it's and everyday-day. When there's a party - sure have some, but not too much. Another tip, which I really liked was that, that once a week one should eat a meat-free-meal. Meat is expensive, deficient and bad for the environment, so eat less.

This was tips from 'tha' Health-Guru

helsingborgsäventyr

Så, idag är det jag som skriver, surprise!
Jag har inte riktigt haft tid att skriva denna veckan, det är därför jag har varit kass på att uppdatera mig (dålig ursäkt, men ack så sann)

Jag var med en väldigt god vän Gabriella vid havet i helsingborg i måndags. Det behövde jag, en riktig girls day! Det var länge sedan, jag känner att jag nästan slutat umgås med folk, och det känns inte så bra. Men i alla fall, vi var i helsingborg, och solen stekte verkligen mot skinnet, det var nästan obehagligt varmt, och eftersom det just var så varmt var det också lite jobbigt att gå ner i havet när man kände att man snart skulle få solsting. Jo, vattnet räckte en till midjan direkt efter att man klivit i, och ja, de känsligare delarna fick en liten chock! Hehe!
Väl nere i vattnet var det en snubbe som kastade en boll i Gabbies huvud, och den jäkeln bad inte ens om ursäkt. Det är något jag ogillar skarpt, att folk inte ber om ursäkt längre. De skrattar lite och säger ofta "oj".

Vi var också med i en tävling, tele 2 anordnade den.. vi vann inte biljetter till The Ark. Det var en "gissa introt" tävling. Vi fick den hemska kategorin "Balader från 2000-talet". Både jag och Gabbie kände direkt att det här inte var vår grej. Det visade sig att det inte heller var det.. Vi fick ett poäng (fatta hur dåliga vi är), men snubben som höll tävlingen fick det till att vi hade 3? Knasboll? Vi fick i alla fall tröstprid, ett frankfår från tele2, som nu sitter på pappas kontor i malmö, tillsammans med en stor pingvin^^
Efter äckliga skoskav från min mors snygga skor och några kronor fattigare begav vi oss hem, till jaa...ensamheten!

Viva La Moi!
