3 years

Idag ar det tre ar sedan jag vaknade upp i New York efter en sommar pa svensk mark. Jag kom till NY den 28 December 2010 och planerade att va har i 6 manader. Jag stod pa svensk mark den 6 juli och visste inte vad som skulle handa. Planerna blev snart att jag skulle flytta till Osterrike, start over and see what happens. Men, nagot sa mig att jag inte var klar med New York, sa i sista stund beslutade jag mig for att aka tillbaka hit och plotsligt hade jag bade papper och flygbiljett klart. Allt gick valdigt fort, men jag angrar mig inte for en sekund.  

Today it’s three years since I woke up in New York after a summer on Swedish ground. I came to NY on December 28, 2010 and was planning to stay for 6 months. I stood on Swedish ground July 6 and didn’t know what would happen. New plans was soon that I would move to Austria, start over and see what happens. But, something told me that I was not done with New York, so in the last minute I decided to go back here and suddenly I had both papers and a ticket ready. Everything went so fast, but I don’t regret it for a second.

Battery Park City Party

Vi tog en harlig promenad med Thor langs Hudson River (+27 grader idag!!) och hamnade i ett Battery Park City party. Alla ville halsa pa Thor och manga kande honom redan. Roligt att de gor sant har for omradet och kul att traffa alla som vi har lart kanna. Vi kanner oss nu lite mer hemma har i New York. 
Nu stack Jim precis ivag pa College Football med nagra via hans jobb, sa Thor och jag kommer ha en myskvall tillsammans. 

We took a lovely walk with Thor along the Hudson River (+27 degrees today!!) and ended up in a Battery Park City party. Everybody wanted to say hi to Thor and many already knew him. Fun that they do stuff like this for the area and fun to meet everybody we have got to know. We feel a little bit more home here in New York now. 
Now, Jim just left for College Football with some people from work, so Thor and I will have a cozy evening together.

Jim fotade lite idag / Jim took some photos today

Early Saturday

queserafarm_photoby_CarolynMoranMe and Lilja a year ago performing at the Que Sera Farm, a performance with David Lichman

Klockan ar strax efter 7 och Thor har redan gatt promenad och atit all sin frukost. Nu busar han runt med Jim som precis gatt upp. 
Igar akte jag hem till Lilja som bor uppe i norra Upper West Side i en typiskt sot liten New York lagenhet. Valdigt trevligt att uppdatera om saker och hora om hennes resa hem tilll Island och hennes kommande performance i Oktober. 
Pa kvallen forsokte jag och Jim att bestalla hem sushi, men seamless hemsida verkade inte funka, sa det fick bli pizza. Onyttigt men jag var sa hungrig sa det spelade egentligen ingen roll vad vi at. 

Time is right after 7 and Thor has already been out for a walk and ate all his breakfast. Now he’s playing around with Jim that just got up. 
Yesterday I went to Lilja that lives up in north Upper West Side in a typical cute little New York apartment. Very nice to update about stuff and hear about her trip home to Iceland and her upcoming performance in October. 
In the evening, me and Jim tried to order sushi, but seamless website didn’t seem to work, so we got pizza. Unhealthy but I was so hungry si it didn’t really matter what we ate.

Improvisation in Philadelphia

Om ni kommer ihag, sa var vi i Philadelphia under en helg for turism och sport i varas. Jag tyckte det var roligt att improvisera lite pa olika stallen. Ovan ar en video fran en sot liten gata vi hittade. Nej, det ar ingen musik i videon, for jag behover inte musik for att dansa, jag hor min egen musik inom mig (flummigt men sant) 🙂

If you remember, we were in Philadelphia for a weekend for tourism and sport this spring. I thought it was fun to improvise a little at different places. Above is a video from a sweet little street we found. No, there is no music in the video, cause I don’t need music to dance, I hear my own music inside (weird but true) 🙂
