Nouns

In non-contentious news, both Greg and I’s entries at F*** Yeah Nouns are somehow related to us!

Mine is the photo of Emma Watson that I took at the Harry Potter 6 Premiere in London, and his is a photo of him eating ice cream at Cape Cod.

Last Stop

I’m at SFO waiting for my delayed flight now, on the very tail end of my 23 day trip.

It’s not over quite yet though: the jetstream at 30,000 feet is preventing my first connection from flying straight to Atlanta, and we need to stop in Salt Lake City for fuel. The pilot thinks he can do it if he takes off from a specific runway.

Ut oh.

End of Pt1

Last full day in Europe today. Did the Vasa museum and the Swedish Royal Palace, made a Swedish dinner with Margaret-Ann after she showed off how clean her dorm room finally was, and got a Toblerone McFlurry to top it all off.

Waking up early tomorrow to get my connection to Heathrow, and then onwards to the 11hr flight to San Francisco to start Pt2 of my January.

Natives

Today a Swedish man came up to me and asked for directions, thinking I was from Stockholm. He was in disbelief when I told him I wasn’t.

Laundry Day

Programming a washing machine in a foreign language when it has about 10x as many settings as you thought were possible for laundry is intimidating.

Here’s to hoping I didn’t do anything wrong with “Automatic Plus” - the only cognate on the machine.

It’s -3 C in Stockholm, and tomorrow there will be less than 7 hours of daytime.

Jon and I went shopping, again. He bought new shoes and then literally threw his old ones away in a supermarket to make room in the bag for beer we bought for a get together our hosts are throwing tonight.
