In Sweden, gaol = jail. Did you know that? I didn't until the Swedish man in my book had to go to gaol.
Also, they call him Kalle Blomkvist....but what does Kalle mean? Because I don't understand the significance of the nickname, and undoubtedly there's a point to it. Blomkvist is his name. Yeah! Try saying that out loud! Last time I try to read a book that takes place in Sweden....
Of all the spectrum of hair colors I've experienced, this dark brown I've recently discovered is my favorite. Inside I am a brunette and I was just needing my outside appearance to reflect that. And combined with the short/curly/bangs haircut and my cupcake apron, I look straight out of a 1950s magazine.
That's what I'll be for halloween maybe?
I got a phone number at work this afternoon from a guy named Andreq....like, On-dreek....
How does one politely turn down a date? I never know what to say so I just agree and get myself in awkward situations down the road.

Are you reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo? I love that book. I have the sequel (The Girl Who Played With Fire) but I haven't started it yet. Kalle Blomkvist is a Swedish character in a popular detective series. I think he's like the Swedish Nancy Drew. So they call Mikail "Kalle" as a joke.
This post is lacking a picture.
ps in a lot of english novels jail is spelled that way also. I have a hard time not saying goal! in my head when i read it.
You just don't call him back when he calls. He should get the hint. Hahaaaa Andr EEK. More like "ON FREAK". Did you get a job baking things??
