Green office

While in Malaga, I tried on a pencil skirt for the first time in Mango. And since I've been thinking lately that every woman/girl ought to have at least one as part of their wardrobe, I bought it. And yesterday I wore it out. My class mates were so surprised haha! It is a very different look...
Also, I did my nails for the first time in about 2 months. I can't wear colorful nails in Disney and I'm too much of a one-week-nails-girl to remove the polish two times a week. Boy, it feels good to have them polished again! I feel happy whenever I look down on them.



And on to a wholly different matter. I went to watch The Green Lantern yesterday, as it premiered in Denmark on the 18th. We were 7 girls together but other than us the theater was dominated by men. So entertaining to hear manly laughs/grunts all the time.



It was all right. Not really good but not complete shit either.
Things I liked: The soundtrack, the old-school-comic feel of the movie, Blake Lively's pretty face (she is GOR-GE-OUS) and the sometimes smart dialogue.
Things I did not like: Slow start on the plot, too quick end/win, the fugly mask on Ryan's face and Blake's character's non-existing degree of independence.

Cinematic Zulu

Last Wednesday I went to TV2 Zulu (a telly channel)'s summer event with a bunch of friends. It's an outdoor theater which tours the big Danish cities. By now it's reached Copenhagen - obviously. They are showing some big Oscar movies this year and to be honest with you all, there's quite a few I have yet to watch. Which is why I went last week - they were screening The Social Network, you see!



Of course I'd heard about a million good things about this picture. But I'd heard it was boring as well. So I was surprised at how swell and ever so entertaining I found it to be! I laughed a lot at the dialogue, since they were biting each others' heads off with their words.
Also, it was so odd to be taken back a few years. I already cannot remember a time without Facebook. It was weird to see its growth portrayed like this.

But it was bloody cold. We'd brought some blankets, but it was just NOT enough when the movie ended at midnight and it had been dripping rain from the sky ever so often. By the end of the movie, my body was shaking and my teeth were chattering. Which explains my red nose in the upper photo.



It really has been raining an awful lot lately. It's AUGUST! It's supposed to be sunny and hot right now! It feels like I've been back in school for months already - that darn weather messing up my season rhythm.

Transforming a Captain

Yesterday I went to watch "Captain America: The First Avenger" with a small group of friends. Because Dennis had his Captain galla costume we all decided to dress up just a bit.

(I so love Jill's 3D glasses!)



Some wore red/white/blue things, others just fancy dress. It was great fun! The other people in the crowd loved the Captain, haha.



Before going to the cinema we ate hamburgers to get in touch with our American side ahhaha.



The movie was good! I laughed much more than I'd thought I would and we all loved how the old Captain uniform/tights and shield were incorporated into the new movie.

And I must admit I am a huge sucker for 40ies clothing and cars, so there was several points during the movie were I would just stare at Peggy's hair.



Stanley Tucci was in the movie as well! I just love him. He plays such a broad variation of characters, which is really admirably.
I was surprised at how the Skinny Steve did not look fake! It really does in the trailer, so I was dreading the fakeness - but then it just did not show itself. That was very cool!

The 3D worked wonders for this movie btw. The depth made it more interesting to watch bullets, shields and knives flying through the air.



Before leaving home, my hair looked like this. Then the wind attacked and as you can see in the picture above, my hair was flat upon arrival at the theater. But oh well. Rasmus kept calling me Emma Frost because I was so "white", haha. (I'd call it off-white or ivory, but whatever.)




Last week I went to watch Transformers 3 with my mother! We watched the first movie on Wednesday, the second on Thursday and then went to the cinema on Friday. It's really odd for my mother to like this type of action/sci-fi movies, but I was thrilled to go with her.

And oh my. Bloody HELL it was an amazing movie. Half the time I was staring at the screen, mouth wide open, and the other half I was wispering "nononononono,no,no,nonono" constantly. It really pumped my adrenaline around.




The scene in the office in the skyscraper. The time when Bee barely catches Sam and what's-his-name. When Sentinel goes evil. I loved it all. It took 3 hours for me to calm down. I am definately going to watch it again in the theater!

Are you Genki?

This weekend Genki Con was held for the 3rd time. This year the location was in Roskilde, about an hour from where I live. So I decided to stay overnight the whole weekend even though the con was in "Copenhagen".
I was an hour late, since something was wrong with my train :C And when I finally arrived at the con, the line was sort of long and Astrid was pregnant.



Fortunately I was cosplaying Luna on Friday, so I just used the "depregno" spell... Counter curse for "impregno".
This weekend a lot of great costumes appeared. Mie and Kami wore a custom designed Vocaloid costumes.



Saturday arrived after a night with 0 sleep. I wore Paprika once again. Usually you forget to eat during cons, but I was so sleepy that I had to eat all the time to keep my energy levels high enough. Thankfully the location had a cafe and a restaurant with reasonably prices beverages and snacks.



They sold watermelon for example! We all agreed that it's THE new con-food.
The cosplay show was packed with good and entertaining acts. There was a The Emperor's New Groove group - they rocked and won.



The Genki Stage had a lot of new-to-conventions light, like spots and different colours and a lot of groups experimented with it. It was a very nice change and made it all more interesting.



We watched the auction. That tiny pillow - with a Lucky Star printed side - was sold for 480 DKK. CRAZY. It was really fun to see some of the items' prices being bid upwards and upwards.

Then Otaku Hour began around midnight. You have to eat terrible things in a hurry, gets punishment push-ups and constantly fights for survival in the competition. Two of my friends participated - so fun to see them stress about it all!



Sunday "the crew" dressed up as Fancy Supers. It was such a nice idea! We went to take some photos.



Yep, I was sacrificing myself for good photos. But it was all good fun.



Sunday was a really relaxing day. The weather was really nice and we had all sort of agreed to just enjoy the last day with no stress. Enjoying a massage circle here.



The weekend's polaroids. Me with "the crew" in Okama Boys cosplays, me with Kristine and Emma and Astrid and yours truly.

I had a really good weekend!
