not much

what did i do this weekend?

not much.

unless, of course, you consider visiting drottingholm palace and making pizza with friends (yes, i have actually made friends! don't get too excited, they are all international students, not that international students in any way have a lesser friend-value than swedes would... i am just owning up to the fact that i haven't become popular with the swede crowd yet) a lot. i don't. it was great fun (well, the palace was rather plain, the shock value mostly lying in its size), but was done in a relaxed "i haven't anything else to do" kind of attitude. i have found that this is best when touring places (or palaces, for that matter).

i did have a swedish våffle. it wasn't shockingly good or anything. i think i could have lived without trying it (but then, i guess i would have had to live with that nagging thought--are swedish waffles really really good? i decided that the risks were too great, so i broke down and coughed up the 25 SEK for one, very small, heart våffle. okay, okay, it had whip cream and marmelade on it too!)

that brings me to another point. whipped cream.

here whipped cream is not americanized whipped cream. there is no sugar in it. it is just whipped cream. i give it bonus points only because it is hand-whipped and fresh, though i think that it would be like a THOUSAND times better if it were sweeter!

so that was saturday.

sunday... i slept late and then ran. afterwards, i went to school and worked a little bit on my borges paper. then, met the same international-pizza-friends at a cafe for hot chocolate. it was warm, but i got it reheated. same unsweetened cream on top. went home and ate a salad (with lots of yummy things on top, incluiding my newly purchased balsamic vinegar. i used my last 30 SEK to buy it.) then, watched bridget jone's dagbok. it was good... the evening was relaxing.

all in all a good weekend.

did i mention that i got a special (though short) phone call? ten points for anyone who guess who it was from....
