I can count higher than two

Yesterday was a long and magic day. Most importantly, Nilla and I celebrated two years together. Congrats to us! We're such troopers. A majority of those two years were spent apart while we made plans/saved money to come see each other and then eventually went through the mile of red tape to actually legally reside here. Done and done, couldn't be happier.

After a relaxing morning (looking at your Myspace profile, listening to Depeche, drinking warm drinks) we met Stina, Nilla's sister, for lunch. Stina had just returned from a month in Ecuador. Her stories made Nilla and I want to book a ticket somewhere warm! Yeah, it's a winter wonderland here lately. And on my way to see some friends Monday night I completely wiped out and fell flat on my back. SAFE! No injuries but sheesh, I totally bit it and in a quick second the city boy who rode through heavy traffic on a brakeless bike and thought he could handle any sort of weather situation was defeated on a quiet snowy evening while crossing a walking bridge at a leisurely pace. Christmas lights twinkled above my head and I think I heard a giggle in the air.

We splurged and had some tasty Greek food to celebrate our special day. And with bellies full and happy we cruised across town and arrived at the club just as Grizzly Bear took the stage. It was so amazing to see my friends from the States here on their first Scandinavian tour. They are having an absolute blast and their set was nothing short of spectacular. As I type this I'm wearing a Grizzly Bear t-shirt and their remix album is uploading onto my iPod. Yeah, it's that sort of goodness.
