Late night writing

0kommentarer
Evening folks,
 
haha I keep promising that I'm going to improve when it comes to my blogging. But I just haven't got any motivation at all right now to actually get back into it.
 
Tonight I'm fighting to stay awake mainly to finish my first dissertation proposal that's due on monday. I'm finding it so hard to finalise my question and to locate the right academic material to help support my arguments.
So far I have around 10 books that all have turned out to be pretty useless.
I'm starting to realise this will not lead anywhere tonight and I should just go to bed.
 
Wifey is out with some friends from work and she doesn't have any keys so I can't fall asleep until she gets home so bed will have to wait.
 
The worst feeling is when you can't go to sleep but you really want to.
Usually I'm not even that tired at this hour,,, ok ususally I'm asleep by now, but it's not like I can't stay up this late.
It's probably the extremely boring literature i'm stuck with that makes me just want to close my eyes and forget all about uni and dissertation problems for a while. Escape to the land of dreams. Sounds fantastic!
 
haha not sure what I want to get out of this very strange entry..... Might actually be asleep while writing this.... who knows.
 
oh and it's halloween tonight. I'm guessing there's a lot of people out celebrating but we have decided to go out tomorrow instead. Malin, Isabella and I have all bought costumes for once so it will hopefully be a fun night.
 
Don't really have anything else to say at the moment so will leave it at that for now.
Night night dear reader.

I'M ALIVE

0kommentarer
Hiiiii everyone!!

I'm so sorry I've been rubbish at posting lately. Life has been rather busy the last few weeks.

Anyway I today have a morning off so I thought I'd pop in and write a line or two.

Basically I've been working like a mad person on the amazing film M.L.E for the last month. It's been very intense but so utterly rewarding. I've met the most incredible people and I've had the time of my life!

I promise a more detailed story about the whole experience will come up as soon as we wrap which actually is TOMORROW! Can't believe it!

Wednesday the very anticipated wrap party will take place and then I'm 100% back to being a student again.

Uni started this last Friday and I predict this will be a busy year with my dissertation and everything else.

Basically I just thought I would tell you all I'm still here. I'm doing amazing, I'm loving life and I'm so very happy!

Xx

My gosh I've had some great days the last few days.
I'm so happy because I've got a new job as a production assistant and will be working on a new film all of September.
Shooting starts tomorrow morning, can't wait!!!! I'm super excited!!!
The film is called M.L.E and it's a spy comedy. :)

The weekend has been so great as well! I've spent lots of quality time with my girls and I'm finally almost rid of the annoying cold.

Tonight we're just having a girls night in watching the film The Host and eating chocolate.

If only my cold will go away!!!
 
Here's some STUNNING photos from the great year 2006.

5 days and still going strong

0kommentarer

Hej kära ni,

Usch har insett att jag inte orkar blogga på engelska jämt. Det är ju så mycket enklare att skriva av sig på svenska så här kommer ett svenskt inlägg.

Vaknade för två timmar sen till min 5 dag som extremt förkyld och sjuk.
Är Såååååå less på att ha en hjärna full med snor att jag vet inte vad!
Det här var inte min plan för att komma hem. Vill ut och göra saker och inte bara ligga inne och snyta mig 80 gånger per minut.

Vill bli frisk, nu helst.
Xx

Back in London

0kommentarer
Hiiiiii everyone
 
I'm sorry I didn't have time to write a few last posts whilst in New York.
My last days were so hectic but really incredible!
I spend a lot of time with Melanie and Victoria! Soooo much fun!
Went to Hoboken and had a walk around town. Such a cute little city, I'm really glad I got to see it before I left.
We went out in Hoboken my final night :)
 
The flight and trip back to London went really well. Plane was on time and the journey from Heathrow home was so quick. London was showing off it's best side with the sunniest day yesterday as well. Love this city.
 
It really is great to be back home. I've missed my babies sooooooooo much. Cried a whole lot when I saw them yesterday. haha. 
These last couple of days I've just been trying to spend as much time as possible with them but tomorrow it's time to get back to reality and I have to go out and try to find a job :)
 
So what's my final words on my time in New York....
Well I've had an incredible time. It's been hard as well, missing people and not really knowing anyone. But I made great friends, got to see what an amazing city New York is and I learnt a lot about myself and what I want and value in life.
Once again I really am blessed and for that I'm eternally grateful.
 
THANK YOU to everyone who was a part of making this trip a memory forever.
I love you all!
 
Now it's time to turn over a new leaf and start a new chapter in the book that's my life
I'm really excited
xx
 
Me and Mel on my last night. So hapyy I met this amazing person! She's the best <3

The High Line

0kommentarer
Can't believe it but my New York adventure is almost over.
The last few days have been really great and I've been hanging out with a friend called Melanie a lot.
She's such great girl and I'm really sad I didn't get to know her sooner!!
So typical, but oh well. I'm glad I at least got to meet her :)
 
Yesterday we went to The High Line and it was the most incredible place.
Basically it's a park created on an old elevated railroad in the meatpacking district.
It was truly one of the most beautiful places I've been to and the fact that we were walking there during the breathtaking sunset made it all so magical.
 
If you're ever in New York you should definitely check it out!!!
I wish I would have known about it sooner.
 
Today it's friday and I'm super excited!
My dear friend Hanna from Sweden has arrived in New York with her family so we are meeting up tonight for dinner. And then Me, Hanna, Melanie and a few others are going out. :)
 
Now I have to go and run som errands.
 
Lots of love
xx

Broadway

0kommentarer
Yesterday I saw a show on Broadway for the first time since I arrived!
If you know me you know that musicals are my big passion in life and there are few things that bring me more joy.
I got the tickets from TKTS on Times Square, and they are supposed to be one of the cheapest ways to get broadway tickets. Well if you think it's going to be cheap, think again.
Broadway is extremely expensive so just be prepared.
 
A friend of mine had recommended I should see Newsies. She has seen it twice and really enjoyed it.
 
First off, I get in and realise I have a seat in the FRONT ROW! That's pretty amazing!!!! 
And then, let me just say! OMG to this production!
I mean it's a cast of mostly all singing, all dancing HUNKS! The guys in this show are all so madly talented AND beautiful I promise I had my mouth open the entire show!
Craaaaazy!
The music was great but the dancing and choreography was OUTSTANDING!
The set was very clever and the story touching!
Overall a truly incredible musical. I'm very happy I saw it!!
 
I recommend it to anyone that goes to NYC. It's well worth the money!!!
 
Aaah, epic night
xx
 
This Hunk, Adam Kaplan played the lead last night!

Beautiful Sunday

0kommentarer
Sundays are always good days in this city. :)
I had a really lazy first half of the day. Saw Aristocats while having lunch. Such a long time ago I saw that film. It really is one of the best Disney films.
I took the bus into the city and went to the 7pm service at church where I got A SEAT for the first time. If this was my last time at Hillsong NYC I'm really happy I once got to sit down at a service, It made the whole thing even better.
 
Met a new friend and her friend and we decided to walk to a roof top bar pretty close by and we spent the rest of the night there.
It was the first roof top bar i've been to in the city and it was so so beautiful.
Had great company as well. Love getting to know new people here. Although getting to know new people means it will be harder to leave in a week.
 
Anyhow I will try to make the best out of my last week here. I'm kind of running out of money so I shall try to think before I do something though. Might just cut down on food so I can do more stuff instead. hahaha.
 
Now time for bed!

The view was truly stunning.
This I'm going to miss alot

Going through a new phase

0kommentarer
So I am currently going through a phase where I love to watch films that include some kind of war. Preferably with aliens being involved.
Saw Promethius the other day and that was great.
Last night I saw Battle Los Angeles and really liked that.
Riah told me about The Hurt Locker so I'm watching that tonight.
 
If you know any other films I should put on the list please let me know :)

Goodbye too soon

0kommentarer
Tonight I said Goodbye to Millie, Riah and Mary-Beth who are all leaving New York tomorrow!
Can't believe it's almost over for me too. I've had a great time here in the states.
 
Really sad saying goodbye to my dear friends though.
Good thing I will see Riah and Millie very soon. But I don't know when I will see Mary-Beth so that's always sad!
 
Safe trip home my sweets.
 
And thank you all for making my stay here so much better. Will be a lonely last week without you

This is Split by Deborah Kampmeier

0kommentarer
Hey Guys,
 
So I'm sorry I haven't really been posting for the last couple of days.
Been having a great time with my dear friends who are leaving New York this Satuday.
 
Thought I would just post this link though.
The film i've been working on lost half of their funding and that's why we have had a break in shooting.
Hopefully they will go back to filming next week so I can be apart of it a little bit more.
 
If you want a sneek peak of some of the footage that was shoot in the Sugar Factory have a look HERE
 
It looks soooo different on screen from how it looked filming. Truly amazing!
You can also check out the films Facebook page right here if you want: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Split-a-film-by-Deborah-Kampmeier/145915635430619
 
Lots of Love from NYC

Today's heart warmer

0kommentarer
I've had an absolutely incredible day!
Me and Millie have toured around the city for 12 hours.
Great day.
 
I will post photos and talk more about it tomorrow, right now I really have to go to sleep.
 
Just had to post this one picture real quick.
So we went to see an exhibition about children's books at The Public Library.
There I found this young lady with her eyes stuck on the screen showing Marry Poppins and her classic song "A Spoonful of Sugar".
I ADORED Mary Poppins when I was in her age and seeing her so mesmerized by the same scene I used to love so much just brought warmth to my heart.
 
She didn't moved an inch and I promise she didn't even blink!
 
Oh how I wish I could go back in time and be a little girl again..... experiencing Marry Poppins for the first time!
 
<3

Update

0kommentarer
So I thought I would give you an update and some news on my two internships... hehe.
The film is currently holding on filming. They are scheduled to resume this satuday but we'll see how much I can be a part of it. Hopefully I get to do some more work, I would really love to.
 
And to my other theatre internship they have at last given me something to do believe it or not.
After not having done anything for 6 weeks I got the biggest workload that has to be finished this week.
I'm not complaining, just find it a bit amusing :)
 
So this week I will be working on:
Prop lists
Character breakdowns
Costume list
Acceptance letters
AND
a press release.
 
Better get to it
