Inception
This past week I only worked Monday and Tuesday since Brian Wednesday morning went to soccer sleep away camp. I spend my days sleeping till noon and then hung out with friends. I think it was Wednesday; I was hanging out with bike Mike when I got the brilliant idea to go to ‘Fuji’, the half price sushi restaurant (half price Sun-Wed). We had each two rolls and shared one special roll (Edison roll, the one Svenja had last time we went there), it became the favorite one! We were sooo full when we left, and it was only about $ 10 each!
Thursday I met up with Thea and we went to Woodbridge mall during the day. I found one top at Forever21 which I really liked, and since I had a store credit card it was already paid for!
I also got a new pair of aviators (sunglasses) since I lost the last pair. I think I’m on my 6th pair for this season; luckily I never spend too much money on them.
Friday I didn’t do too much, in the afternoon I went over to Garwood and met up with bike Mike and his friend John and they went up to Johns place and did some jammin.
Since I didn’t have to work I went over to Dan’s place after dropping Mike of in Westfield around 6pm.

Around 10pm we went to pick up Dan’s friend Jesse and from there we went over to Menlo park mall (no shopping unfortunately) to see the premier of the new Leonardo Dicaprio movie, ‘Inception’. Sooooooo good! I don’t know when it will get to Europe but you must see it!
I don’t know where to start describing the movie, but it’s mainly about messing with your mind as you dream, and when Leo can access the mind of another person he can get or plant information that can’t me reached in real life.
It totally mess with your mind trying to realize what’s really the dream and so on, but it’s not impossible to understand it’s just a movie when you have to think and a great movie to analyze. I defiantly need to see it again. There’s so much though behind the whole movie and the guy who wrote it took 10 years to finish it so you kind of get it’s not an ordinary film just knowing that.
Leo is a damn good actor, and totally rules in this one! See it!
So after watching the movie we had to analyze it for a while and I think we all had some good ideas but as I said; I still need to watch it again!
Around 11am I and Dan picked up bike Mike in Cranford and we went over to Elizabeth where Mike’s friend is opening a skate shop and had a free BBQ and an organized skate competition in a nearby skate park.
I’ve been to the store a few weeks ago with Svenja but this time I didn’t see the result of the shop since we hung out in the skate park instead, so another day I’ll go there and see.
This was, it was insanely hot this day, me and Dan got each a chair and sat down (far from all the crazy skate kids) trying not to get in the way.
We saw Mike skate around with a megaphone trying to get all the kids organized for the competition. We stayed around for about 2 h before we realized this might be the end if we don’t get out of there soon; the sun went crazy!

This is Dan just remebering he's actually a skate pro
When we got back to Dan’s place we went into his pool, and finally the water is nice-cold instead of paralyzing-cold.
At night we went over to a party to one of his friend where also Dan’s twin sister Becca went with friends. It was mainly friends from high school which meant everyone knew each other except for me! It was fun though.
Sunday ‘morning’ we packed some towels, Sudoku book (the one I gave to Svenja and she 2 seconds later give to Dan- that book) and some sunscreen, and went down to Long branch.
It took about 2 h to get there since the traffic was crazy. When we get there we were suppose to pay an entrance (to the beach- craaaaaazy) of $10 but for some reason we didn’t had to pay, Dan said it was because they though we were to awesome; and I believe him!
I burned my feet so bad in the sand getting down closer to the water. We put down our towels and stuff and then went up to the boardwalk trying to find some breakfast/lunch.
Dan had had his eyes on a burger place but when we passed and saw what they served I got a bad feeling (probably as bad as if I would have eating the ‘food’ there) and instead convinced him to go to the Greek restaurant next door.
I had a plate of gyros, tzatiki, pita bread and fries, unbelievable good! Not as close as the Greek place back home in Malmö (which I’ve been dreaming of going to for so long now) but far enough (after one year it’s fine, trust me).
So after having one of the best meals in month we went down to the beach again and into the water. It was really nice, not cold at all. The waves close to the beach were crazy so we hung out just a few meters out where it was a slight bit calmer.
After a while I realized there was some nice looking stones on the bottom so I picked out a couple for my mum since I know she loves stones in all shaped and colors (me, myself like Candy in all shapes and colors, but we all have different devotions).
The time we actually spend On the beach tanning was not enough to get me a tan as nice as I wanted, but I’ll give it another try soon!
On the way back we stopped by a place called the light tower, if I remember right, and had some ice cream.

Look at me with all that money..
Around 8pm we got back, took about 1 h to get back, no traffic. We chilled for a while and then Dan took me home.
This week I think Brian has some soccer day camp for just a few hours every day, so I feel, just like all the other weeks it’s going to be a very relaxed week.
Since I know Svennyboy is reading my blog now when she’s back home in Germany I want to tell her I miss her very much!
It’s so boring not having someone to call, text and hang out with, doing girl-stuff (poor Dan has to stand a lot, but still haven’t got him to get a manicure with me at the nailsalon).
Best thing though is that last week I booked the flight for her to come to Sweden, she’s arriving 30 minutes later to the same terminal as me, in Copenhagen. Just can’t wait to see her there!!!
Catch you on the flip side!
