THE TRACEY FRAGMENTS

HI again.
I didn’t really think anyone read my blog, so I kinda just stopped blogging but then someone commented on an old blog of mine and I guess I could start blogging a bit again.

I want to advertise a movie for you guys. It’s called THE TRACEY FRAGMENTS and it’s amazing. It’s starring Ellen Page (from Juno, which is also LOVE). She’s so cool I think and I see a great future ahead of her. I don’t really want to say too much about what goes on in the movie. One of the great things about it is that there isn’t really all that much going on… We see everything in flashbacks and fragments which makes it very interesting. It is very indie and artsy but for me that’s a good thing, so if you’re into that kinds stuff: Enjoy!

Oh yeah, and this is how the movie is filmed some of the time. It has so many interesting pictures.

RUST

Yesterday I had one of the best nights out ever, in DK. First Fie came over for dinner and we did some catching up. Then we went to Tivoli (The Danish amusement park) where we met up with a friend of ours, also called Fie, and we walked around looking at the beautiful lights talking. Fie had Some free tickets for us which was awesome. Then we saw the Alphabeat concert at the big stage in Tivoli. I’m not sure I really like them, cause they’re not really my type but the male lead singer was soo awesome and crazy. Think he might have been on drugs though. He jumped around like a madman and kept hitting himself with a tambourine which eventually broke but he was crazy in a good way. It was very amusing to watch.

Afterwards we went to Rust, where we met up with our friend Gabriel. Some of Fie II’s friends were playing there. It’s a Balkan band called Tako Lako. Again, not really my type of music but they were so talented and the music was actually pretty good. People went crazy and we jumped and danced around. We weren’t on the guest list but Gabriel thought that he was, so as the doorman and Fie I were looking for Gabriel’s name on the list, she spotted two girls names and said we were them, so we got in for free at Rust as well. I feel kinda bad for the two girls if they showed up later and were crossed off the list because of us but what the heck. It was a free night for us.

Later at Rust, Melissa, Unni and Ida showed up, which was great. I haven’t seen them for a while and I really miss Lis, since she’s moved to Kolding. Lis and I talked a bit and danced a lot. The DJ’s were great and we just had a great time. Then Lis and I walked home and that was the end of a beautiful night.

New favorite T-shirt

My friend Rosa wanted to give me a birthday present but didn’t quite know what to get me. She was going to order some stuff from American Apparel so she asked me if there was anything from Aa that I wanted, so she could order that too and give it to me as a birthday present. I am so looking forward to getting it! I chose this amazing T-shirt that I predict will be my new favorite T-shirt! You like?

An angel in front of each of my doors

I once heard a story, a true story. I’m not sure I remember the details right but it is an amazing story about God’s power and love for us. A Christian Chinese woman was living in her small house up in the mountains I think. The fact that she was a Christian was not well looked upon, so the men in her town decided to go up to her house one night and kill her. (As I recall). She was scared and begged God to protect her. The fallowing day, when nothing had happened, she went down town. In the town many people asked her who she had guarding her house. She was a poor woman, so she wouldn’t be able to afford any guards. The woman had no idea what the people in her town were talking about. It turned out that what the men had seen, was the woman’s house surrounded by angels with swords. They were all glowing and the men returned to their homes in fear. This woman had no idea how God was going to protect her. It is funny how God sometimes have a solution that we could never come up with ourselves.

I can be quite paranoid sometimes and whenever my boyfriend is at work, so I have to sleep alone, I am very scared that someone will break into our apartment. This story inspired me, so I asked God if he would put an angel in front of each of my doors to protect me during the night. Tonight I had the first night alone without nightmares and without laying awake for hours before being able to fall asleep. Of course you can question whether or not God really put angels in front of my doors. I can’t tell whether or not he did, though I am absolutely sure that he is able to. But what I do know is that he gave me the peace of mind that I needed to have a good night sleep.

I love the idea of God sending a worrier angel to protect me and I really want a tattoo of a warrior angel. I found this picture of an angel (not the girl underneath it – uuh which by the way is Jeanne d’arc). I wanted this tattoo beneath my right breast but the tattoo artist said that it would have to be really big if I wanted all the details. Such a shame, so I am now looking for a perhaps simpler drawing or picture. If you have one laying around or know where I might be able to find one, please leave a comment :) Thanks

Strøm

Yesterday I went to “Strøm” (electricity) in Enghave parken. Electronic festival – absolutely amazing! Especially Modeselektor from Germany. They made us dance a lot! This event was so awesome that it almost made up for not going to the Roskilde festival. Wish my friends had been there though but we’ll do that next year. There was very much of a festival vibe. The best thing that Modeselektor did was include a song by Björk and Antony. Can you imagine a better combo? And then mixed with their own electronic beats. Two of the guys stood up front with microphones and pretended that they were the ones singing. It was really warm too, even though summer’s almost over. It really made me appreciate living in Vesterbro!

A piece of Icelandic love

I totally forgot about this band but then I heard an interview with them on Swedish radio and now I would like to share it with you. The band is called Amiina and it’s four girls who play on different strange instruments such as the saw. I really like it, it’s a bit like Sigur Ròs which is pure love… So, here is one of their songs.

My wedding dress

Berlin is a great place to go to second hand shops and flee markets. We went to a Turkish market where I bought a lot of fabric to make summer dresses from. We also went to another flee market and I think I found my wedding dress! I didn’t buy it though but I have been thinking about my wedding dress lately and how I might want it to look but didn’t really have an idea. Not until I saw this dress though. It is not a huge princess dress filled with tulle but it is so sweet and romantic. I didn’t buy it, cause I’d want the fabric to be new, but I took a picture of it, so who know; I might get a dress maker to sew it for me some day…

The dress

I bought two dresses at a great second hand shop. It’s really big and called Colors. You pay by weight, just like when you go buy candy :) You will find it on Gneisenaustrasse where there are also a lot of antique stores.

btw. you're welcome to comment on the dress or my blog in general :)
