One last thing...

... before I go to bed: I love Depeche Mode. Dave Gahan in particular.
Discovered this song the other day, and the lyrics really spoke to me.

"Freestate"
by Depeche Mode

I can hear your soul crying
Listen to your spirit sighing
I can feel your desperation
Emotional deprivation

Let yourself go
Let your feelings show

Picking up the conversation
Deep in your imagination
Tune into the lonely voices
Talking of their only choices

Let yourself go
Let your spirit grow

Step out of your cage
And onto the stage
It's time to start
Playing your part
Freedom awaits
Open the gates
Open your mind
Freedom's a state

I can taste the tears falling
The bitterness inside you calling
Yearning for a liberation
Emotional emancipation

Let yourself go
Let your senses overflow

Step out of your cage
And onto the stage
It's time to start
Playing your part
Freedom awaits
Open the gates
Open your mind
Freedom's a state

Poor Harry Potter...

I finally got to see the new Harry Potter-movie yesterday. There wasn't any big surprises, luckily, neither good or bad. Being addicted to audio-books, I know these books by heart, so seeing the films are always exciting; what have they changed, what have they left out? And the films can never match the books, I know that, so I'm not even going to expect it.

But if you forget the fact that they're based on books, how was it? Good! All the Harry Potter films has kept me on the edge of my seat, wide eyed and tense with suspense, and this one wasn't any different. Amazing considering that I've read the books (too) many times and KNOW what's happening in the end.

SPOILERS! For those of you who haven't read the 6th Potter book, or seen the 5th movie, and don't want to know what's happening, don't read on.

Speaking of Potter, the last books is coming out in a couple of days! I've pre-ordered it and am looking forward to it like a kid waiting for Christmas. But one thought crossed my mind when I watched the movie; "Poor Harry Potter. Hasn't this kid gone through enough?" Rowling has to be a sadist to drag this kid through all the crap he's gone through. And really, she has to be very mean, I mean "The Grinch-type-mean", if she's dragged him through stuff like loosing his parents, having the most EVIL dark wizard as an arch enemy, having the WORST step-parents in the world, and then loosing both his godfather and Dumbledore, just to let him snuff it at the end. If she does that, I'm going to sue her. She's earned more than enough money on Harry's misery.

I'm a survivor!

So, I survived the mountain. Actually, I quite enjoyed it. I had no problems being without electricity and water, as long as I have a solar panel that can charge my iPod every now and then. And I have to admit it's damn beautiful up there, and the mountain air makes me sleep like a baby. I'm even going up there again in a couple of weeks, and have bought shoes, a couple of durable pants and a jacket to keep me warm up there. Hopefully we'll get some better weather next time, Saturday consisted of rain, thick fog and wind.

Go to my Flickr page to see all the snapshots me and Mats took up there, some of them are half descent!
