ca' the yowes to the knowes

okay, i was going to put up a video of a swedish style of singing called Kulning, but i couldn't figure out how! if someone would please tell me...

well, the vikings used to sing in this strange style to call their sheep and things back to the farm. women would also use it to communicate, because it is very loud.

i'll put a link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7Bk0TVAXnk

i think it is pretty cool!

EEEEEEEEEEEENNNJOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOYYYYY!

MANgela!!!!

from restaraunt night at camp, my friend Claire decided to draw a mustache on herself. this picture is a favorite of mine, because it would be very cute and seious if she didn't have that mustache! with it, she just looked creepy. her name at camp was Angela, so i called her MANgela!

meeee!

My friend made this for me. it is kind of hard to see, but it says "the swedish" before polar bear.

Sunny, white coat

this is my pup. her name is sunny. i know what you're thinking" for halloween, i bet she was a hotdog!"

she wasn't. she was a brittany spaniel/ beagle mix. ha! that's funny cuz that's what she is everyday!

i was pippi longstocking. i had an unfair advanatge cuz i speak swedish and so does she.

well, ta ta for now.

partyboys!

sorry y'all! i just have been rrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyy busy the last MONTH! and i forgot my password!

so here's a picture from camp. in the front is Rutger, then his bedt friend Teo, then Nisse, and all the way in the back is Assar( hehe) he taught me how to knit! this is from the disco. i thoujght they all looked realy funny together!

tomten

aww! how cute is this gnome? speaking of gnomes, i knew this kid (at camp) & his name was Nisse. that means gnome. ha ha ha. sad ending: he went by Nils.

ha ha your face

today, to continue with the them of dogs in hot dog suits... we have a dog in a hot dog suit!!! sorry about not posting in a while. i've been really busy with stuff, you know. also, today is random cookie day. make cookies and hand them out randomly. i did.

sorry y'all

I'm so sorry i haven't posted in a few days. I've not been feeling so great.

but today's funny picture is a guy in a pink gorilla suit. i thought it was a pretty funny Halloween costume. Speaking of Halloween, i thought it would be cool to get a large group of my friends together and go as the cast of Action League Now, but no one would go as the Flesh, seeing how he's nekked and all, so instead I'm going as Pippilotta Delicatessen Windowshade Langstrump(imagine a little o over the a), or in other words, Pippi Longstoking.

with the power to ...melt!!!

today we have Henry and June from the old nick show KaBlam! this later spawned off into Action League Now! with the Flesh, a Thor like action figure, the Stinky Diver who can dive and smells horrid, and Meltman, with the power to melt. a lot of people forget that Action League Now's father is KaBlam!( if you don't know, these are all from Nick's Golden Years, the pre- sponge bob, pre-crap era) honk if y'all remember!!!

funniest name ever

Anders Flanders!!! he is from a band i like called Detektivbyran(imagine the a with a little circle over it). he plays accordion. the band is based in Goteborg, Sweden & i'm going to the next town over, so hopefully i'll get to see them in concert.by the way, i didn't post yesterday because i got home from school at four, left the house at four thirty, and came home at 11.30. so there

ha ha ew!

so for today's picture we have a weiner dog in a hot dog costume. i thought it was pretty funny! it also mad me think of two thing: varm korv boogie & the show cat dog. this is a hot diggity dog, which makes me think hi ho diggity. now everyone, what would cat say? no ho diggity!!!

this one should be funny enough!

today we have a rube goldberg machine. these used to be on that children's show, ZOOM all the time! but the only thing i can say is who has time for this?

best summer ever

today we have a picture of me(!!!) standing in front of our stuga, of cabin, Ishotellet(ice hotel) at the Concordia Language camp for Swedish. it's called Sjolunden(imagine the to dots above the o). It's the night of of first of our two discos. I'm wearing my signature lipstick, a Yeah Yeah Yeahs shirt and overalls, cuffed of course. The shoes aren't mine, but we're sending them around, sisterhood of the traveling pants style. the fit very size, from 5 to 9. if this is not funny enough, maybe the next post will be...

i do, that's who!

so i was eating lunch with my buddy Evan, and there were four juice boxes sitting next to each other( two were mine, two were my friend Aryn's). so Evan looks at them and yells "who drinks that much juice?!?!" the next day he felt really stupid, because he didn't mean to yell it. but everyone else thought it was the funniest thing!

Bananas in pajammies

when i was a girl(very little),one of my favorite shows used to be Bananas in Pajamas. i don't know if y'all remember said show( off topic: i learned the theme song of the show Digimon in Swedish, and half the people at school didn't even remember Digimon. i felt so old!!), so i found a picture of them

and thought y'all would appreciate it! i thought it was pretty funny!

i found this fun quote and had to post it!

Home Exchange

Howdy y'all. so youse guys might have read on my mama's blog ( http://momagerathome.blogspot.com/ ) that we are doing at least two home exchanges this summer. we are going tho England for a month and Goteborg, Sweden for nine weeks. We might be going to Germany or Amsterdam for four months. So I'm really nervous about leaving my friends for such a long time. But I'm excited about Sweden. i speak Swedish, but have never been sos i'm pretty excited. I'm having a big going away party. (josh akins better show up. if not, cruisin for a bruisin!) i don't know... this should be interesting!

hiya

Howdy y'all? how has your day been? Mine has been good. i made a new friend today. Okay, so for todays funny picture we have...

GRILLED CHEESE VICTORY. i found this creepy 40's/50's style ad for grilled cheese and thought it was pretty funny. So i hope y'all enjoy. by the way, have you guys noticed a grilled cheese theme?

cute picture of the week

okay, sos i have a surprise for y'all! two pictures!!! in my last post, i talked about almost posting this. you know what, i am!! This is Bill Callahan, or Smog. this is a picture taken by Joanna Newsom, his girlfriend. So for now on a the cute picture of the week.

okay, for today's photo, i was going to do something a little different. I was going to post a sweet(cute) picture of Bill Callahan, or Smog. i thought it was a sweet picture, and Joanna Newsom, his girlfriend took. but instead we have a ...

BLUE LOBSTER. see i put a blue lobster because i'm from Rhode Island, and they have blue lobsters there. other than that i just thought it was funny.

mamas, papas & bears! Oh my!

my mama diced to write a blog, following in my footsteps, of course! y'all should check it out. the link is below.
http://momagerathome.blogspot.com
jag onskar hon likatill (i wish her good luck, swedish of course). Y'all should check her out. but her target audience is a little different... angled more towards traveling mamas and papas. still, it's pretty interesting

not to alarm anyone, but my new profile picture is not me. it is joanna newsom. i give full credit to Lina, from http://www.fromamouth.com/milkymoon/. if you miss my old one-->, comment and tell me. i hope y'all enjoy my new one. I really wanted the walnut whale, but it didn't work. so... enjoy!

about that last post, it's a painting by Ashok Kumar, and Dabney house isn't a restaurant at all, but an art showcase. To my horror, i discovered this right after i published my post, so i felt i must put this up. my apologies. (but you see how this could be misleading, right?)

today i found a zebricken(chicken-zebra) staring at a giant grilled cheese sandwich. apparently it's an ad for a restaurant, but judging by this ad, it's nowhere I'd ever eat! kidding, kidding. I LOVE grilled cheese!

today's picture , as promised. it's lunch meat, i found it on photobucket. it was in the "motivational posters" section, and i thought that was the funniest part. i would eat a sandwich made out of clown meat, but i am a vegetarian. i'm not quite sure how this was made, but i'm sure someone (besides me & hopefully you) had a good laugh!

since I won't be home tomorrow till four in the afernoon, and i wontt i have time in the morning, i'm publishing tomorrow's picture tonight. This is Avey Tare from animal collective. there's a cool effect on the picture so it looks like he is a Ghost. if you have not heard animal collective before, let me reccoment to you Grass, from a single of the same name. it's a bit strange, their music, but y'all might like it

hej, so i just finished editing my page, i think it tured out pretty good, don't you? i put up a Milk-Eyed mender poll (favorite track), so if you are a Joanna Newsom fan I'm iterested in what you have to say!!! Y'all should comment and tell me what you think!! i put a cute polar bear pic up , and the vintage picture of the day. so comment and thell me what you think!! Have fun!!

Howdy all

Hiya, i think it'll be funny to post every day, a random picture. Today's is Mr. Nilsson from Pippi Longstocking. it's not actually Nilsson, see, it's juct a monkey in a suit. Nilsson waers a vest.

See, this is also funny because my favorite song is Monkey and Bear by Joanna Newsom, so here's the monkey & i'm the bear. Get it? cuz my name is Ursula!!!
