Turkey business and new crappy phone

Since my last post evoke such amusement for Caryn, her sister Jill and Scott I will continue to post in English.The past couple of days have been characterized by work, party and sleep. On Saturday I went shopping with Ida, Jørgens friend from elementary school which is in Boston in connection with her PhD at Prudential Center. Ida is very nice, so thank you Jørgen for providing me with her. She was looking for a dress to use at a wedding in Norway and we ended upon a champagne colored dress from Sue Wong (Don't know who it is, just thought it sounded fancy). After our shopping we had lunch at this arty place in South Boston. Looking out over the sea while eating delicious seafood was definitely something to recommend.

In the evening we went to Peder and Danielles apartment and then went out to the "Enormous Room" (very misleading name as it isn't enormous at all) and then we went to Middlesex. We had to wait for an hour at Middlesex to get in, one whole hour...it was very fun when we finally did get in, but it sure felt like a waste of time. Next weekend some of Peders friends from Norway or Rognan to be more specific will arrive, and as Peder said; "Do you think Boston is ready for this? Do you think we have enough beer?" Haha. I'm looking forward to it.

Over to another recurrent theme:
Plastic cups. I don't get it. Even when you're out you get your drinks in plastic cups!! Can they stop with the plastic cups?? I also got my olive tapenade (this is meshed olives, namnam, I was very excited when I saw it because I haven't been able to get a hold of it back home) in a plastic glass....

I saw the wild turkeys again on Sunday. I've told everyone about them and everyone, or the majority of people have heard about them, but no one has actually seen them. I saw them walking on the sidewalk close to the cars gobbling around for some turkey-business. To prove that I'm not crazy and that they actually exists I hereby provide photo-documentation.

On Sunday I also bought a new phone to use here. Its really crap. Its even more crap than the phone Kristin bought in India. Its like a toy phone and once in a while it just starts showing commercials (wtf?), very annoying when you're trying to sleep. But I can text and call and that's the most important things. I don't think any of you back home can call me so we would have to use skype. I really wanted a Blackberry since it is a big thing here and they are really cute but it felt like a waste to use so much money on a phone I probably can't use at home anyway. You see my phone doesn't have a SIM card, I asked the guy what was there instead and he just mumbled something so I think its magic. I bought this subscription which gives you unlimited texting and calling for a month for 40 dollars, this seemed like a real bargain at the time but it turns out to be the most retarded thing I've done in a long time. So far I have only got three contacts and no one is texting me, way to spend 40 dollars, haha. Scott actually sent me a sympathy text yesterday so that I would feel better.

Until we meet again!

Btw, Bea, Congratulations on your collaboration with Tomkrist! That's great! Your music career is really going somewhere now. Haha. Just wait till the end of September when Margrethe&Niklas bully-blogg will be up and running.
