I wish I could escape the country for a couple of months, until like April, when spring is here again for real. I don’t understand people who find autumn “cozy”. This is my view and it doesn’t give me any kind of cozy feeling whatsoever. It just brings me down.

The only upside with this time of the year is that my favourite holiday – Christmas – is approacing. I also like Halloween and I’m excited for this years celebration since I’m attending a Halloween parade in Stockholm. I’ll be going as a lady pirate. I say lady pirate because my hat has lace and ribbons and my coat is purple velvet. It’s not one of those “sexy” costumes with a short skirt because I want to be somewhat historically accurate. Still, it’s a feminine take on the classic pirate clothes. The only thing I lack at the moment is shoes. It’s nearly impossible finding historically accurate pirate boots for women. It’s all high heels “sexy pirate vixen” stuff. Since I can’t find anything I decided what the hell, I’ll make bootcuffs for a pair of my high heel boots. It won’t be historicall accurate but it’ll go with the rest of the costume and it’s only for one day. I don’t want to buy something which is just “ok” so it’s better to wear something I already own and look out for really awesome pirate boots for next year.

Moving on. Today I’m bored. Me, bored! You don’t get how weird that is because usually I’m never bored. I have way too many hobbies and always some creative project going on. Unfortunately today I don’t feel like doing any of my hobbies and when it comes to creative projects I lack inspiration. Usually when I feel like this I spend hours and hours cleaning and organizing my home but not today. Everything is already clean and perfectly organized so there’s nothing to do there. If I had more money I’d bake something but I have no more than 150 SEK (€16, $22) in my wallet and that money which will have to last until the 25th. What do you do when you’re bored? Got any tips for me?

I’ll end this post with something funny. This is Agnes Nicole Winter, one of four women the Swedish Documentary TV-series Swedish Hollywood Wives follows. And she just happens to be the Joker’s lost twin sister.
