Swedish tradition

Posted on 2008.02.06 at 15:20
Semlor! Semlor! Give me lots of semlor!

Soooo....yesterday was the national 'Fettisdagen'  or Fat Thuesday (true name!) in Sweden in which it is traditonal to eat 'semlor'. A semla is a traditional Swedish pastry. The name derives from the Latin semilia, which was the name used for the finest quality wheat flour. There are several different ways to eat a semla and several different names for it, but the most common way today is to have the bun hollowed out and then filled with almond paste and whipped cream and a lid of the bun covered with icing sugar. There are, however, no possible human way to eat it and retain your dignity. The pastry is almost a decimeter/four inches high and no matter what you do, there will be cream on your nose and icing sugare all over your face. 

It's wonderful. I ate three, and thought I'd explode. 



Here's one for all of you!  :o)

Elven Sport

Posted on 2008.01.18 at 07:44

Just a bit of sillyness...
I did NOT make this, I found it at Fear the Boot, and thought it needed to be shared!
Much enjoyment!

 

Imagine the modern world, but populated by the classic Dungeons & Dragons races: Humans, Dwarves, Elves, etc.

Now: Imagine professional sports. What races would excel at various sports? Which ones would they enjoy?

Of course, hockey would be a Dwarven sport. They already enjoy wearing lots of armor. Their large mass, durability, low center of gravity, and tolerance for low temperatures make them ideal for this game.

Rugby would be all orcs, and they would probably play to the death.

Euro-football (Soccer) is fierce, but the players are lithe and speedy. This is an Elven sport.. Perhaps there would be some humans in the league, as goalies.

American football would be primarily a human sport. I can imagine some of the linemen being Orcs, but runningbacks, quarterbacks, tight ends and other positions could only be filled by humans. Dwarves are too short. And elves? They would shatter a few seconds after the snap. Okay, maybe your punter could be Elven. Now that I’ve described this, it sounds really cool.

Tennis? Elves.

Golf. Now this is a tricky one. Halflings seem like the ones most disposed to this sort of sport. It’s just their sort of thing. They would be unbeatable putters. However, their limited stature and strength will hamper their ability to drive the ball. On a par 3 you’d never beat them, but on a par 5 you could out-drive them. Hmmmm. It would be interesting. Well, more interesting than regular golf, anyway.

Baseball: This might be the most diverse of all sports in our imaginary world. I could see just about any race (aside from Dwarves) finding a position that suits them. Although, if they get rid of designated hitters, then Halflings would be screwed.

Boxing: There would be a seperate boxing title for each race. If Don King had his way, there would also be a seperate belt for every alignment and weight. So, someone would have the Orcish Heavyweight Lawful Neutral Belt and someone else would have the Elven Welterweight Chaotic Good. And good luck trying to unify those belts.

When it comes to horseracing, Halflings would make unbelieveable jockeys.

What about Gnomes? Gnomes wouldn’t play sports. Gnomes are geeks. Gnomes would work at NASA. Lawful evil ones might work at Microsoft. Chaotic good ones would work on Linux variants and obscure open-source projects on Sourceforge.

Nobel Prize

Posted on 2007.12.10 at 19:08
In honour of the Nobel Prize ceremony in Stockholm, Sweden, today here is the official english version of the Swedish national anthem! More than a little archaic....but it's from 1890.

Thou ancient, thou freeborn, thou mountainous North,
  In beauty and peace our hearts beguiling,
  I greet thee, thou loveliest land on the earth,
  /:Thy sun, thy skies, thy verdant meadows smiling.:/
  
Thy throne rests on mem'ries from great days of yore, 
  When worldwide renown was valour's guerdon.
  I know to thy name thou art true as before.

/:Oh, I would live and I would die in Sweden:/

...and as usually, almost all recievers of the Nobel Prize are men. It's embarrasing. This is 
supposed to be the most equal land in the world....

Christmas party and Beowulf

Posted on 2007.12.06 at 16:14
*groan*  Christmas party yesterday and *groan* might have drunk a bit to much glögg (spiced, sweet red wine. You put almonds and raisins in it, and drink from small cups, although obviously not small enough...) 
Feeling hungover and cranky about it. Feeling not lessened by knowledge that it was my own fault. *sulk*

 Went to see the movie Beowulf monday night. *snort!* *lol!* The man actually stripteases of a chainmail and then continues to fight a monster naked. Why naked? I have no idea, although not complaining. It was rather a nice arse to look at, although there was an amazing amount of strategically places chandeliers, helmets, steam and weapons to make sure nothing else was showing...
That scene was perhaps the only reason to see the movie which otherwise was horrendously bad. And very confusing. It's supposed to take place in Denmark. Where in Denmark do they have mountains? I've been to their highest mountain, and it's about 200 meters high. It's a hill, not a mountain!
Also, Scandinavian dragons have no wings.

Enough complaining, am going to treat my hangover....Tomorrow, The Golden Compass!

My life and its general confusion

Posted on 2007.12.02 at 20:21

New week coming up, and for once I'm all rested and ready for it...which is good, since it's going to be a tough week! Lots of fun stuff though, so I'm not complaining. 
First going to see Beowulf in the local cinema, a movie that I think could be justly  said containing a plot that is 'dirty underdressed men with big swords kill ugly monsters.' *rubs hands together in exhiliration*

Then Christmas party with my work collegues - a *bit* early I would say, but it will still be a lot of fun. Has to be better than last year, anyway, when we went to an ABBA show (embarrasing in itself) and people started fighting in the audience. ABBA and fighting...I'm not doing much to better the prejudice about Swedes, am I? ;o)

On friday going to the movies again, this time to see The Golden Compass. I read that book a few years ago and loved it! I hope Hollywood went gently on it. 

Oh, and I have a theater lesson as well, which I'm very excited about. Havent played theater in years, it will be a blast!

Work? I have to work as well? Nonsens. There's no time for things like that in my life....

An insane world...

Posted on 2007.11.27 at 19:13
I just felt I had to share a completely inane situation that appeared at work today....

I work with envionmental law. Some of my collegues work with health laws, which includes 'all enterprise with bodily contact' such as massage, piercing, hair and skin care. They make sure it's all done in a clean enviroment, to minimize risk for diesase and such. 
Today, one of them got an application from a man who wants to open a bordello with inflatable dolls! 

I laughed until I cried. And then I laughed some more.

Who would go to such a thing? And if they do want a doll, why wont they buy one of their own? 
I thought it was hillarious. 
My coworker - who is a devoted muslim - didn't think it funny at all. So she handed it over to another coworker - who is a devoted christian. He didn't want it either, to it ended up with a man whos main responsabillity is sportarenas. 

Which made it even funnier....

Maybe I just have a strange sense of humour, but really... a bordello with inflatable dolls.....*gigglesnort!*

(It should be added that in Sweden, it's forbidden to buy sex from prostitutes, which the man with the application also stated. Thus, he thought, there would be a great demand for his kind of enterprise....)

The soft, quick footfalls approached Aragorn with an almost eerie certainty, running lightly over the hard and frozen ground on the wilderness outside Imladris. Though not really worried this close to Rivendell, Aragorn still slipped into the shadows under the naked trees hanging over the small path that led down to the river. He was not in the mood for company, which was why he had left his foster fathers house too seek out some solitude, away from the bustle around the newly formed fellowship.

Particularly, he had wanted to avoid one person, and thus his breath caught as he saw that very person come running down the icy path, as sure-footed as if it had been the royal roads of Gondor.

Fair skin shining under the shadows and with the golden hair unbound and flying behind him, Legolas leapt along the path with long, easy strides, as naked as the day he was born. Lithe and strong, his speed must have kept him warm enough, for when he rushed past Aragorns hideout the elf’s cheeks were aglow from the wind, and there were no signs of cold on the smooth skin. Breathless laughter carried by the wind to Aragorns ears. The elf seemed not to have noticed him at all.

Aragorn stared down the path where Legolas had disappeared, a frown on his face. What was this now? The winter cold was enough to make his own fingers white and crept in under even the heaviest clothing. Why was the elven prince running around naked in the wood?

A new sound made Aragorn creep back into the shadows, just in time to avoid the next running figure.

Elladan, just as naked as Legolas, came rushing down the path. His raven black hair was still tied in the braids, entwined with red and yellow autumn leaves. His black eyes shone with mirth, and his soft feet barely made a sound on the ground. Stronger and more muscled than Legolas, he was very obviously not going to catch up with the wind-swift wood elf.

Aragorns quickly woken jealousy was somewhat eased by that notion as his foster brother disappeared down the path.

Then, suddenly, there was a soft sound of body meeting body, a surprised cry and a triumphant laughter. Intrigued, and a bit worried, Aragorn, sneaked down the path, using his ranger skills to keep his steps soundless.

Legolas had made it almost down to the frothing, ice cold river before Elrohir had jumped out from the bushes and grabbed him around the waist, making them both fall over and tumble around in the frost-white grass. Elladan, finally catching up with them, had joined the bundle of limbs and flowing hair. Aragorn hid behind the trees, carefully sneaking closer. More breathless laughter, as Elladans hands slid over Legolas naked back whiles Elrohirs lips sough out the wood elf’s. With a mischievous smile, Legolas leaned aside and made the two twins lips meet instead. This didn’t seem to deter either of them, and the sight of the hot, fierce kiss made Legolas eyes glow with desire in a way that left Aragorns mouth dry. Elrohir, laying on his back with the wood elf straddling him, let long fingered hands caress over Legolas smooth chest and small nipples, oblivious of the harsh cold of the ground beneath him. None of the elves seemed bothered by the cold, but Aragorns human mind kept worry that one of them would get frostbites by the chill.

Legolas was licking over Elladans lips, catching the twin’s hand and sucking in a finger in his mouth. Elladans eyes clouded with arousal, and pushed the wood elf down from his brother into his own embrace. A pout of soft lips made Elrohirs face a shade dark at being lost out of the action, but he snuggled up over his brothers back, giving his attention to his twins neck as Elladan bent his head over Legolas. When the wood elf started to pant and moan, Elrohir quickly scrambled over to kiss him, long and hotly. Flushing and almost steaming from the heat, the frost on Legolas body was turning into water running over his chest, a temptation Erohir could not resist. Crystals of frost was still adorning the twins hair and bodies, but they started melting as well as Legolas hands started climbing up Elladans thighs and over Elladans chest.

Aragorn felt like he was being torn in two; part of him was burning with jealousy but part of him could not let go of the beautiful sight of the three perfect bodies climbing towards climax. His own body was reacting to the mere sight of them; he barely noticed when he opened up his trousers and let his hand slip down, cold wind or not.

When Legolas softly pushed down Elrohir on his belly in the frozen grass, it was all Aragorn could do to stay hidden. And as the wood elf started pushing into the twin, slowly and rhythmical, the man’s breath was a fog of steam around his face.

Elladan, smiling at his brother’s sounds of desire, kissed him and then moved behind Legolas, making them fall over to the side. He caressed Legolas thighs, parting them around his brother’s waist so that Elrohir was cradled in Legolas embrace of both arms and long legs and making it possible for Elladan to move into the elven prince. The sight of pleasure on Legolas face, deepening with every motion was tearing Aragorns heart asunder, but his hand hastened its movement to mimic the twins’ rhythm.

When the three elves breath got harder, he had to bite his own lip not to cry out, and as Legolas tossed his head back in release, Aragorn spilled out as well on the cold ground.

He didn’t stay to see the twins’ arousal climax, but swiftly knotted his trousers and sneaked away. His idle hand and his feet where heavy and dull with cold, and he was shivering in the chill wind. Mad elves! A childish part of him hoped that they would get frostbites, and at the most inappropriate places, too. At least, that the twins would.

A few hours later when he returned to Rivendell, it was to discover that somehow the swift elves had got there before him. All dressed now, in sensibly warm clothes against the winter winds, the twins barely shot him a glance before they disappeared to their quarters, but Legolas gave him a warm smile.

"You seem so cold, Aragorn. Would you come with me to my rooms? I have the perfect cure against frostbites…"

The end.
