The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in SOHO

This place was so cool and ven bigger than I anticipated. It has a huge gallery(museum) a bar, and a little showroom to play of videos and I believe they have their concerts there too. They served finger food from all over the world, which was deliSH. The desserts was also nice, especially this John Lennon cake (on top) where its a picture of him and his signature, pretty awesome. Some saved this cookie to take home, but me, I ate it:)

Oh, and I almost forgot. That text you see, is Madonnas handwritten lyrics for express yourself. This was actually illegal to take photos of. HAhah

The new Vitamin Water boutique in Soho. This picture is made by bottles only. I am guessing the limonade and the xxx acai ... Who knooows?

Williamsburg waterpark at sunday

This might not be thes bestpictures in the world, but it was such a beautiful sunny day and we decided to go down to the waterpark in Williamsburg. Loads of people, some in bikini, some plyaing some sort of guitar. The mix. Lovely!

You aint Cool if you aint got one of these

C'est la joke.

Newsflash!

Ok, so I have this thing for Lifebooker where you find the coolest salongs in NY, for very good discounted prices. However, if you go to Chinatown for a foot rub or a back massage you pay nothing and you get full satisfaction for their work! they are soo good!! The other day, at friday I think, we went to 179 Grand Street, crossing Mulberry, or mott, can't remember. Anyway, it was no line, we were three persons and we got treated right away. For 15 min foot massage it costs $12 and they do their job much better than any massage-person I've ever met. This place is def worth checking out. I know others that has been going there for years also, so don't be afraid to check it out. High quality!!

Friday was a blast! and actually, the beers we're holding are called blast, and they are really good. Try one! Or two ... 

I want you, you, you aaaand... you!

New York International Auto Show at the Convention Center was awesome and I found myself a couple of cars that I would not mind having in my garage at all. So just give it to me ;) Preferably the Gallardo, the Maubach 57 or the super cool Spyker ... I love you guys!  Soon you will be my babies !! Hahah

Camilla <3

I miss Camilla!!  She was here for just a short time, too short time ... But we had fun when she was here. Partying in Williamsburg, dinner at SEA, seeing Mike Myers in SoHo... haha 

This photo is from Dec/Jan, and yes, I remember we both decided to wear that sweater that night. So girly.

Top of the Rock

Christopher's bestis was here for a week during easter, and we did some sightseeing. Very cool, indeed. This is from top of the rock, Rockefeller center. Man, it was cold!!! I remember it like it was yesterday... haha

No that good really..

Went to see the "Mysteries of Pittsburgh" the other day, and it is not something I would recommend really. I'm not saying that it was a total waste of time, but it was certainly a very special movie which I didn't either get was it was really about. Other than Sienna Miller being in it, made it a little better. I like her, she is soo pretty

viva la bob

Ohh... and one last thing. I cut my hair the other day, and MAN!! I love love love it! Best hairdresser ever. I'll post a photo later, but anyway. It was at Projet F in Soho and his name was Colin. Go there! Obviously another hairdresser there which name is Hector is also suppose to be amazing. Look it up. It's not that expensive either. Especially not if you order on Lifebooker.

Have a good night everyone... I am putting on my dancing shoes ;)

Last 3 months in New York... ENJOY

My last quarter at Berkeley College started at Monday and its going to be a busy 3 months period. I ditched all boring courses, so now I'm doing Organizational Behavior, International Economics, Organizational Theory and Development and the last one: Managing for Change. 

It is going to be a lot of reading, but man, I can do it.

I finally feel like I have my life in the right place now, if that makes sense? No. Well, I feel good. I finally moved out of the apartment and moved in with my boyfriend in Williamsburg, and it feels even better than anticipated...buut we'll see, no, I'm kidding. School feels great, and I am with the people I love. 

No time to fool around, Niclas arrived to NY yesterday, Camilla arrived at Monday and mommi is coming tomorrow. Lunch with Camilla tomorrow, and out in the evening... FUN! Friday is for mommi <3 

Before going to bed, my boyfriend and I is going to Union Pool for a few beers. Two blocks from here! Loving it!

NY aquarium

We didn't get the chance to go the aquarium when we were at coney island the first time, so we went back a couple of days later. The thing I was most excited for was the sharks. I am sooo afraid of sharks :O ...but they were tiny,so... I wasn't scared.

A day at Coney Island

We spent a beautiful sunday at Coney Island. Took about an hour with the subway, but it was worth it. The beach, the fresh air, it was a great day!

BEWARE ALL FASHIONISTAS!!

TOPSHOP OPENS IN SOHO THURSDAY APRIL 2ND!!

yeah!

Babysitting in Gramercy

I've finally gotten an extra job babysitting for the cutest little girl, Alice:) She is only 1 year old and so easy to take care of. The world's cutest! So that's how I'm going to spend my saturday nights from now on... kidding. Actually, I don't know? Maybe.
Anyway, after her parents comes home in about an hour or two, I'm meeting my friends at Big Easy, the college bar. Only a few beers though, I have to be set to move and clean in the apartment tomorrow... only a few days till i'm officially moving to the new place... Look out!!

Helen and Linn out rocking... or something something...

Does it affect you?

It seems as though everywhere I look, the recession is already there... 

We were in the East Willage today, at the Juicy store, Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger, and all of them had these outrageous sales, in they weren't only on winter items. But for instance, if you spend $300 at the Ralph Lauren store, you get a discount of $50. It's like only 16% when you think of it, but still... Everyone is deep under... 

Change of Plans..

For some reason, we couldn't cancel our lease on the apartment, so I am now subletting it at least for three months. I think we may have found our sublet-girl! She's Italian and so sweet!

Christopher and I have found a really nice apartment by the L train, perfect location:) And we are moving in in the beginning of April.... 

I am now doing my last semester on Berkeley, and have decided to go home. I have been so lucky to have reopened my admission at the University in Agder and they will transfer credits from Berkeley. So, If I am lucky I might be finished with my Bachelor this summer, or winter... So then it maybe Kristiansand for a semester:) 

My birthday

Friday was way over expectations! Other than that the day started with an accounting exam, then an essay due in a liberal arts, I went home to sleep for a few hours. Afterall I had only gotten about 4 hourse sleep because of the accounting.. 

Later, cecilie had bought champagne, strawberries and hot chocolate... Mmmm... Tastes delissshh! Thank you cecilie, you are soo sweet!

We celebrated my birthday at tacu tacu in williamsburg. And the plan was to go to meatpacking after, but we stayed in williamsburg at royal oak and had a blast!! I love this photo of everyone, it's so authentic. please don't be mad at me for putting it out there....

I got the most tasty "flamberte" bananas and ice cream while the others sang happy birthday ... wee... my day :) 

New York, New York...

It is inevitable not to love new york. It has something that just captures you, and you find the city amazing. And it is amazing. It's like a big meltingpot of people, and it impossible to avoid noticing the strangeness that is going on, and which everyday is interrupting your routine.

However, there is a lot of poverty here that tourists don't get the chance to observe. If you get sick, you are very lucky if someone cares and comes over to help you. No one cares here, and the pollution is extreme. When it comes to pollution absolutely no one cares. Being about 8 million inhabitants, it is hard to take the first step to change... 

We have now let go of our greenpoint apartment  and is moving out soon, and I am also changing schools from June and onwards. Perhaps to something in Europe, Belgium, Switzerland, I don't know yet. What I do know, is that it's not worth living here during the recession on a ok school and paying to much in tuition fee. International students are not very welcome here, neither when it comes to renting an apartment nor signing a cellphone plan. 

I am very keen on going home, or closer to home, to a business school in eastern europe for the fall semester. To complete my bachelor degree there and later begin with my master. Somewhere near the mountains, fresh air and near the sea... Maybe I am not the city girl I thought I was? Maybe New York is too grand for me...
But I do Love You New York ...

TOMORROW IS MY BIRTHDAY!!!! :))))

"Nothing feels right when I'm not with you. Sick of this dress and these Jimmy Choo's. Taking them of cause I feel a fool. Trying to dress up when I'm not with you.

...With nothing but your t-shirt on"
"T-shirt"

Fuck recession

To make a long story short, I might have to change school, move out of the apartment and maybe move in to financial district. Our landlord is crazy and wants more money than what's it the contract, and in addition, we're not allowed to have guests or sleepovers. Absurd!! Crazy man!! ..so we are moving out, and helen is moving home :( I am going to miss her so much!!

Bceuase of the heavy inflation, I have to change school or get a huge scholarship from somewhere because the tuition fee has gone up about 10000 NOK per semester, that's 30 000 NOK per year ... Seems like my money isn't worth anything, nor will the school give any scholarship because I am an international student. Actually, it seems as though no school here support int students, but they give the new yorkers free tuition. Stupid, stupid, stupid...!

But, I might be moving in with Mr.lover soon in financial district :) but he's also looking for another school, and with no support he might be going home aswell. But that won't happen.... (I hope)

Williamsburg -club hopping

Don't you just love a spontaneous saturday...
     

Brooklyn Brewery opens their brewery in the weekends for the public. On fridays at 6pm-11pm and saturdays, noon-6pm. We went there at around 4 with some friends for a couple of fresh brooklyn ale at reasonable prices. Great athmosphere, great crowd, and smells like beer all over, except for the bathrooms, stay out. 

After they closed at the brewery we went on to a place called Charleston at bedford ave, L stop. Looks like a trashy rock bar, but very cozy, and with every purchase, you get a free pizza (its even a good pizza) mmm.. We sat there for a while playing poker, eating pizza and drinking beer for some hours. 

I looked at the clock around 9, still early... Our third bar for the night, next stop royal oak at N 11. I heard from Cecilie that this place was suppose to be great. We arrived very early but time went by quickly and the bar filled up with loads of young hip people. 

And then... we danced the night away... <3 

So soar in my body...

I haven't played football in many years, and by football I mean soccer, not the stupid american football sport. I have never understood what that is all about. Anyway, we went to Chelsea Piers, on Pier 40, where it's a huge football field. We asked to play with the guys on the other side, asians, middle-east, american, swedish, norwegians, pakistani, mexicans you name it, we all played together. I had a lot of fun, and though I was the only girl I scored one goal! Proud! 

We might be going back there next weekend, so if you want to play with us, shout out!

Lifebooker

You know, I'm just a big fan of Lifebooker, and today I did another appointment for haircutting at Projet F. I was in desperate need of a haircut to tell you that, it's been almost 10 weeks since last, and my bob is no longer a bob (doesn't look like it). Anyway, I've heard they're really good there. Mr. Lover has gone there twice, to Hector and can't brag enough about him. Well, I just ordered a simple haircut and when I got there I got massaged in 15 minutes or so, went thoroughly on neck massaging and the scalp, it felt so good. 

The thing is that if you order on Lifebooker, you pay $40 for a haircut at Projet F and if you had went to the salon instead you would have to pay $80 at least, so it's 50% off, which I think is awesome! 

When in Front Row..

Yesterday was amazing! I was at Bryant Park, at the Promenade helping out for the Milly by Michelle Smith show, which was so brilliant. I would like to get maybe half of her collection, though I have never really heard of the brand but look out for it! I love this pink skirt, the gold sequin coat. The colours and how they mixed the fabrics together was genius. I was the celebrity filler, got to seat the guests, and then I got to held a seat for Mary J, in the front row, so that no one else would grab her chair. And while I sat there, Julia Stiles sat down next to me and on the other side Nelly Yuki from Gossip Girl (don't remember her real name, you know who). The show was full with celebrities and Papparazi but I just didn't feel sooo fresh with my white t-shirt and semi-clean hair, but they will probably cut me out if I'm in any photos, cause I probably am.. Haha

Today I met up with Wenche at Cafe Gitane in SoHo, for a Satay Chicken which is always my choice. I haven't seen her since forever, just too long ago! It was really fun seeing her again, just too bad it was just for a short time. You know when you meet up with friends you haven't seen in a while and the talk just goes by itself, it's no awkward moments in between sentences. That's real friends!

February 14th and Fashion Week totally rocks my world!

On saturday I saw Andy & Debb, and then Verrier show at Bryant Park. I really liked Verrier collection for fall 09; the ruffle shirts and the feminine dresses, and I also liked when they had longer socks, like men's socks, a bit longer than what I've seen before. I am so sad I missed the Barbie show, I heard it was amazing. I am going back on wednesday, and I would love to see the Anna Sui then. I love her.

However, Valentines day was lovely <3 I gave Mr. Lover a frame with some photos of us, he was thrilled;) just what I wanted! Later than evening we had made reservations for a thai restaurant in Williamsburg, but obviously there was something wrong with the subways then, and no taxi knew how to get to brooklyn ( surprise, surprise...) so we missed the reservation and went to a Japanese restaurant in Greenpoint, and had some great sushi and teriyaki there! The place is called Sakura and have the greatest quality in Sushi there, a must.

Now, I'm just doing my Spreadsheets homework before I'm off to seeing a film on my Mac and then it's bedtime for me! Tomorrow I have to catch up with Wenche, which is here for a week with her sister, have to take her out some night:)

Pusspussss

Love and Peace

What a day! Its only 4pm but I feel as though I've done so much today. I had my fin accounting midterm today and a essay hand in midterm in a liberal arts course right after.

Right after that I went to my waxing appointment! Brazilian! I made the appointment through lifebooker.com where you find NY's top salons to discounted prices. Definetely worth checking out guys. And now I feel like I'm walking like a pregnant woman.

and don't forget that its valentines day today ... I'm sending out love and peace to everyone! And may you feel the love from all your dear ones!

first day mbfw

Today was my first day volunteering at Fashion Week in Bryant Park. I knew that there weren't suppose to be any shows today so it was just putting it all together and unifying everything. Believe me, I had no idea that it was going to be that much hard work, I was so warm and sweaty of organizing all the chairs and measuring and I don't know what.. but it turned out to be really neat! I'm going back there on Saturday and I can only imagine what it will be like then... even more hard work:) 

I get so frustrated on some people, I mean you get the chance to volunteer and then you just sit there and do nothing, and I also saw some girls, you could really tell that they haven't been working a lot in their life. But I'm satisfied with my effort:) 

Now, I am off to studying for my midterm in accounting which is tomorrow!! wish me luck ;)

Spring time!

I wish everyone could experience true love. When you know you've met the person you belong together with, your soulmate, and it's so unique and so special. Everytime I see him I feel it in my whole body and I light up immediately, I am so in love with you and this feels so right. I have never met someone like you ;) Jag älskar dig!

I love my life. Yesterday I got my first birthday present, not a second too early, haha, its in three weeks:) It was a spring jacket that I've wanted for sooo long now, and I wore it on today in this beautiful warm weather. Thank you Helen! <3 You're so sweet!

Anyway, tomorrow I'm off to Bryant Park and volunteering for a few hours at Fashion Week. I am so excited, I wonder what it is going to be like, it's really strict though, but of course it has to be, sorry, no photos... If I can't sneak in my blackberry and accidentally take some random photos? Noo? We'll see :)

Good night New York, I'm off to bed and dreaming sweet dreams about my love ones (you know who you are) <3

eeeewwww

I walk down the subway stairs to the platform where I see a big fat rat running around, then I see a woman crawling on the bench to get away from the bigger fatter rat with a continous scream, and I couldn't help myself from laughing and smiling thinking "God what are you afraid of, its not gonna hurt you, Its just ugly and fat and hairy". I think that was quite funny though...

Then some seconds later, I catch my self being really paranoid and lloking around on the ground while walking down the platform... What if that rat catches me and run over my shoes or something like that.. I heard they have really big teeth?? Should I be scared? Eeewwww...

quote of the day... :) 

new week!

Is it starting to look like spring? Its forecasted to be +degrees all week, fyi, in fahrenheit that's over 32. I am so sick of cold weather now, can't wait to wear a lighter jacket and ballerinas:)

Yesterday we had dinner at LeSouk (again...) to celebrate Carls birthday, which is actually today. Happy Birthday Carl! It was a great party and a great crowd. Actually Im just starting to like LeSouk more and more, although it feels like a maze sometimes, whatever... Its great music and delish food. Photos will come soon... Ohh, by the way, they make a really good sangria ;)

Big Easy

It's big, it's easy. A college bar at upper upper east at 92nd and 2nd Ave called Big Easy. You get beer for $1 and a pitcher for $7 or something, so if you like beer this is a great place, and it's easy to get new friends there too, just look at the upper photo, don't you just wanna hug him?

Change of plans...

Ok, so I figured it might be a good idea writing in English, after all, it is a language most people ( that I know) understand ... so shout out if you disagree!

I don´t know about you guys but this sugar thing here in the USA is really bothering me, it really gets me stressed out, I mean, for once there is about 15 grams of sugar in a cinnamon oatmeal from quaker, thats just crazy man!! Cause when you look at it, you think its healthy, but nooooo.... I HATE SUGAR.  How does one avoid it? Does it exist any food without sugar, show me milk with less that 12 grams of sugar or pasta or whatever, that would make me so happy, and not least peaceful, when that day comes... boy... 

Right now, it´s 12.12 am on saturday night and I´m at home alone doing my accounting homework, fun huh? -even though everyone else is out and almost forced me to go out with them I don´t feel like it. I feel like doing accounting and drinking water. I´m such a geek. geeeky geeeky nerdy Linn. 

Ohhh, and I am so trying to find a gossip girl shooting, and I missed it yesterday, but my friend told me that she saw it up at 55th and 56th.. I´m so jealous.. Have to see the next one, not that I´m an obsessive celebrity stalker or something similar, but i really really do luuuv gossip girl, especially Leighton Master (did I spell that right?) she´s beautiful.

I <3> NY sweatshirts for $10 at Bowling Green, by ferry, and cheap t shirts as well, you get it for twice as much somewhere else.

Good night new york!

Wednesday, but feels like thursday

Ja, dagen startet tidlig ved at jeg og Mr. Lover fikk vente ca 45 min på G toget, og når det kom fikk man knapt puste pga alle folkene på toget.. Det endte med at jeg kom for sent, men Mr. Joyce accounting læreren min sa det var ok ... Det verste jeg vet er å komme for sent! 

Pratet med kusine Marie igår, som er verdens søteste herlige jente! hun kommer kanskje hit I pasken, håper det :)

Og nå nettopp støtte jeg på en annen herlig jente, Emilia, alltid godt å se deg:) er altfor lenge siden!

Never eat at Grand Central

New York er jo kjent for å väre omringet av rotter, altså mye rotter, man ser dem jo overalt egentlig. Altså kanskje ikke overalt, men subwayen iallefall.
Uansett, Grand Central er en veldig vakker bygning som alle vet, men inne i, når ingen er der, på natten når alle delis er stengt og food coutr'en har stengt for kvelden.... da kommer alle rottene frem, og det er ikke få heller.. de kryr på bord og stoler og absolutt overalt hvor de kan finne den minste lille matbit eller noe annet spennende som rotter liker(hva vet jeg?)... Så tenk igjen om du har tenkt å kjöpe en liten matbit på Grand Central eller ta innkjöp av frukt og grönt der, det ville ikke jeg gjort....

Le souk

Swedish gathering på Le souk: med helt nydelig middag, med masse krydder, topp service, og rolig atmosfære med herlig lounge musikk... Great success:)

speaking of which...

C og jeg tok oss en tur på natural history museum på upper west fredag ettermiddag, fant ut det er jo her en natt på museet med ben stiller o robin williams er spilt inn, så jeg var ganske redd for at dyrene skulle våkne til live og bare løpe villt omkring, men vi var heldige:) 

Er et virkelig spennende museum som er verdt å ta en tur innom, tenkte faktisk at vi må tilbake snart for er så utrolig mye mer vi ikke fikk tid til å se på! ...random photos
