from Vonnegut to Palahnuik to Ellis

it's their anti-drug.

So this week finally came to an end (almost.) and it's been the most retardedly busy week in the history of ever. Okay I'm being over-dramatic but seriously? It's been a hell week pretty much. Highs and lows, with music, friends and uhh, food, we pull through (:
I learnt a new swedish song this week, courtesy of Yulinnn, min svenska vän. Kris thinks it's hilarious but I know he's secretly proud. So that's your swedish lesson today too. It's a children's song called, Bä bä vita lamm. Which is the swedish version of baa baa black sheep I suppose. Hehe, but they call it baa, baa, white lamb. So here goes,

Bä bä vita lamm,
Här du någon ull?
Ja, ja, kära barn, 
Jag har säcken full!
Heldagsrock åt far,
och söndagskjol åt mor,
och två par strumpor
åt lille lille bror!
In english,
Baa, baa, white lamb,
Have you any wool?
Yes, yes, dear child,
A whole sack full!
A holiday coat for father,
A sunday dress for mother,
And two pair of socks
for little little brother!

And I say this with the most unbiased (hehe) view ever, that the swedish version sounds so much nicer than the english one. Hahaha.

Anywayyy, I was looking for a version of it on youtube and stumbled across Jay Brannan singing it during his show in Stockholm (out of retarded spontaneity. haha.). So I went to listen to his other songs, and honestly, bä bä vita lamm prolly brought me the best find ever. Haha. This boy, can sing (:



That's all! Goodbye!
