Nature is sexy.

List over why fall is nice (inspired by LilSweetie):

1. You can sit on the sofa and drink tea and read or watch TV, without having to feel guilty for not being outside in the nice weather.

2. New beginnings, both at school and in life.

3. Everbody is back in town.

4. Stuff is happening.

5. Dicovering that after a great summer, it is actually nice with fall, and that changing seasons is a good thing.

But I still hope there is more warm, sunny days to come, like this one.

Sometimes I hear a song, and it reminds me of something. And I don’t know what. So then I listen to the song over and over again to try to understand what it is about that song. Today that song was Live and Learn by The Cardigans. And when I finally realised what the song reminded me of, it wasn’t really a good memory. Or that is, I didn’t mind what happened at the time, but it didn’t turn out well. Anyway, the lyrics was also a pretty good describer of what I felt.

I came home in the morning
And everything was gone
Oh what have I done
I dropped dead in the hallway
Cursing the dawn
Oh come on sun
Why must I burn
I’m just trying to learn

I stared into the light
To kill some of my pain
It was all in vain
Cause no senses remain
But an ache in my body
And regret on my mind
But I’ll be fine

Cause I live and I learn
Yes I live and I learn
If you live you will learn
I live and I learn

Got kicked in the head
So I started a fight
Cause I knew I was right
But I learned I was wrong
I remember a slaughter
I remember I fought
For the money I brought
I got blistered and burned
And lost what I earned

But I live and I learn
Yes I live and I learn

I got, I got it now
She’s got, She’s got it now

I came to on a corner
With some help from a man and goddamn
I don’t seem to have learnt
That a lady in need is guilty indeed
So I paid and got laid in return
And I don’t know what I’ve learned

Well you get what you give
And hell yes I lived
But if you live as you learn
I don’t think I’d be learned
Oh with the sun in my eyes
Surprise, I’m living a life
But I don’t seem to learn
No I don’t think I can learn

I just watched the final episode in season 2 of Veronica Mars. OMG!!1! I feel like I’ve been on a roller coaster.

First of all, people (that is, boys) make fun of me for watching this show (they have never wathed it of course). It sounds lame when I start “It’s about this girl in high school, who is a detective…”, and they’re already laughing at me. But it is actually a very good show. All shows sound lame when you sum them up in one line. “It’s about these housewives, and what they do all day…”, “it’s about this girl in high school, who slays vampires…”, “it’s about these doctors who are going to be surgeons, and the main characters affair with her boss…”, “it’s about these six friends in New York who live in appartments they could never afford, and they sit around talking all the time…”, “it’s about this girl and her mother,who had her when she was very young, and has brought her up all by herself…”, and so on. My point is, these are all good shows (and yes, I’m a TV-slave), buts sounds lame when you never have seen them. (The shows are Desperate Housewives, Buffy, Grey’s Anatomy, Friends and Gilmore Girls, for those who were wondering.) So I’m going to provide a little background information:

Veronica Mars was once a popular girl in her high school. She had a popular and handsome boyfriend, Duncan Kane, and was best friends with his sister Lilly. She also had a boyfriend, Logan Echolls, who was Duncan’s best friend. Then Duncan dumps Veronica, Lilly gets killed, and Veronica’s father, Keith, who is the sheriff, accuses Duncan’s father, Jake, of murdering Lilly (because of variuos incriminating evidence). Then this man, Koontz, confesses the murder, and Keith looses his job, and both he and Veronica becomes very unpopular in Neptune. Keith starts a detective agency, and Veronica works there with him. Turns out she’s good at it, and she starts taking on minor cases for people at her school.

In the last episode of season 1 Veronica finds out who really killed Lilly, it was Aaron Echolls, Logan’s father. At this point Veronica and Logan are a couple. They break up in the first episode of season 2, and Veronica is back together with Duncan again. (Because he finds out they aren’t siblings after all, like he believed, but that’s not important.) Duncan has then dumped his girlfriend Meg, who was a friend of Veronica. Then there is a bus chrash, and Veronica, Duncan and his friends, Dick and Cassidy “Beaver” Casablancas, were supposed to be on it, but luckily got off. Meg was on the bus, but as the only surviver falls into a coma. A while into season 2, it turns out she’s pregnant with Duncan’s baby. She wakes up, and begs Veronica and Duncan not to let her parents take the baby if anything happens to her, becuse they are abusive. Meg dies, and Duncan runs off with the baby, with Veronica’s help.

In the end of season 2 Aaron is voted not guilty in the trial, and is later shot by the Kane’s “body guard” on Duncan’s request. Veronica finds out Beaver planted a bomb on the bus, that made it crash down the plunge. Beaver was molested when he was younger, by the mayor of Neptune. Two other guys was also molested by him, and Beaver wanted them dead so they wouldn’t tell anybody. That’s why he planted the bomb on the bus they were on, but the mayor got blamed because Veronica and Keith thought he was the one trying to keep them silent. The mayor fled town, and got hunted down by Keith. Mac, a friend of Veronica, went up to a hotel room with Beaver, and Veronica tried to warn her, but Beaver read her message. He wrote back as Mac to get Veronica to meet him up on the roof. Veronica understands that he raped her (at the beginning of season one), because he got chlamydia from the mayor, and Veronica had chlamydia, which she didn’t get from Duncan or Logan. Beaver is going to kill Veronica, but she says she has already told everything to her father. Then Beaver says he has planted a bomb on the plane carrying the mayor, her father and the sheriff, Lamb, back to Neptune. He uses his phone to set off the bomb, and we can see the plane exploding in the sky. Veronica manages to send a message to Logan, and he comes just in time to save her from Beaver. Beaver jumps off the roof and kills himself.

Then Veronica and Logan goes home, and Veronica discovers that her father wasn’t on the plane after all. The seasons ends with Veronica and Logan getting back together, and her father getting a visit from Dick and Beaver’s stepmom, Kendall, who wants help from him, and shows him something in a suitcase.

Ok, so now I have to wait until October before season 3 starts in USA. There are a lot of questions to be answered.

What was in the suitcase? Was it just money, that Kendall got from her and Beaver’s realty company? Will Veronica and Logan stay together? What happens with Duncan and the baby? Will he be caught for paying Clarence Wiedman to off Aaron? Will Veronica get the Kane scholarship? And what happens with Meg’s sister, who is abused by her parents? Will Keith be made sheriff again, now that Lamb is dead?
First of all, I can’t understand why people (in real life) thought Keith was dead. I was expecting him to turn up saying he wasn’t on the plane. It would be really lame to kill off one of the main characters. Then I’ll guess Veronica won’t get the Kane scholarship, she will have to stay in Neptune and she’ll get a scholarship for Hearst college. Wallace (her best friend) will also be there, and probably Logan. Maybe Mac and Dick too. We won’t be seeing Duncan much more, nor any of the Kanes. Veronica has to help Weevil out of jail, and get the Fitzpatricks convicted instead.

But I want to see now!

So, my fiancée lost his ring yesterday. He discovered it wasn’t on his finger when we were going out barbequing. He said he was sure it just came off when he took off his biking gloves earlier. But when we came home late he started looking for it, and we couldn’t find it anywhere. We sorta panicked after a while, and he even went to work to look for it there, while I basically turned the appartment upside down. Still no ring. I started thinking he had lost it outside, or that it had gone out with the trash or something. And it was really, really sad. It’s weird that a ring can be that important. We have lost things worth more than that ring before, without any of us crying about it. But it just wasn’t about the money.

Then when Anders came to work this morning, someone had found it and put it on his desk. It’s very weird that he didn’t find it when he was there looking for it for 20 minutes last night. But he called me, and I haven’t heard his voice sounding that happy in ages. All because of a ring. Well, now he has promised to stop fidgeting with it all the time. And he’d better, I won’t go through that again. But we should maybe try to remember that it is just a ring. People have lost their engagement rings before, without going through a major crisis.
