Roles Reversed

Cat's pet rat

Today I invited myself to Cat's new little crib, that I hadn't yet seen.




I got to borrow Cat's "hair" and enjoy a cup of tea feeling very pretty.

Gah,
what's the point in getting a
haircut
When two weeks later my bangs are
blinding me!

Then we went downtown and met up with my mom and Vidar to eat dinner at Rice Bowl.

As usual the restaurant was jam-packed, and we had to wait for a table.

Mom, running out of patience, talked two Thai women into letting us sit at their table. Such a Thai thing to do, but very abnormal to westerners. Poor Cat and Vidar.

Feeling a bit akward

Perfect strangers

Couldn't care less

The following photo series I would like to call "Mother & daughter, roles reversed"

Very serious

Look at mom's innocent face

But she had plans

Wa-tah!!

Trying to kick me, huh
Too bad I've got mad
reflexes
(hey, look at that definition, people)

Then I wanted to give my mom a piggyback ride

But she wanted me to carry her "like a Thai mother carries her baby"





I still can't believe I came out of that petite woman


Then, as a reward for being a good boyfriend, my mother gave Vidar a pack of Longong fruit. Of course.

Posin'

The End.

The Torment..

Celebrating New Year in Japan: I Have a Baby and Staying at a Capsule Hotel in Tokyo

Yes, I have a baby

He has appropriately been named Grudrun. Even though it's an unfashionable Norwegian female name. Oh, well.

Do you remember the cat I wrote about on Christmas eve? Well, it doesn't come as a shock that we haven't heard anything from Supermario sensee, so Cat and a bunch of other people took the cat to the vet and got it checked out. As we thought it's leg is broken, so now they are trying to raise the money for the operation and trying to find someone who'll adopt him.

On New Year's Eve my bus from Oita arrived in Tokyo at 9 in the morning. Then I rushed home to change and pack out before heading back to Tokyo with Cat and Julie to celebrate New Year.

We stayed at a capsule hotel in Kinshichoo. It was so cool! And pretty cheap; 3100 yen (ca. 190 NOK) per night.

Cat

There's even a TV!

Julie

We went to a club in Shibuya. It was WAY too crowded and the air was thick with cigarette smoke. I'm 21 years old, but I feel like a granny. I just wanted to go back to our cosy and warm capsule.

And when we finally did, at 4 in the morning, I slept like a baby.

Lol

Look what momma just posted on her Facebook.

This year's Christmas card.

Snøball, age 12

Proof that my poor ol' cat has always been tormented:

An old picture my kid sister took with her cell phone when she was, like, 7.

No wonder Snowball is always so..
