So in US, everything is big. Like this beer for example, Old English. Its about 130cl, costs 2,50$ and has a alcohol of 7,5%. So you can get drunk here for about 15SEK. It’s pretty sick. Otherwise i did a small motion today, worked with some new clientstuff. Continued working with the one i did yesterday and made some small random stuff. So tired today, so im gonna sleep early. By the way, i just love having a job that i think is real fun. G’night.

Second day at the office, recorded my voice to some commercial just because i have this sweet “russian accent” as they say, haha. Gnarly shit, cool ideas and After Effects is whats going right now. Ate a double cheeseburger at some nice little place right beneath they baybridge and went back to the studio to do some motionwork. Its fun that my CEO is so stoked about doing like some animation/motion to like eveything.

Got home, Emelie made some pasta and i went out skating. Skated om market st. all the way from Civic station down to Embarcadero, its kinda far, took like 20 minutes with the board. Well well, got to this spot where all these guys were drinking Gin n Juice mixing it in their mouth, took one zip of the gin and then one of the juice and mixed it, looks sketchy. Anyway i got home and went down to the gym we have on first floor. Ran for like 15 minutes and lifted some weights, haha. The gym was kinda small though, that sucks a little. Anyway, got back, took a shower and now im laying here in my 4 inch bed watching this sketchy policemovie. Some new pics of my apartment and the studio aswell, peace.

You know who you are. Its like a secret. Randomly.
Waking up in S.F. is like the best. At 7.45 my alarm on iTunes starts to play some nice music. This morning it was Provider by N.E.R.D, (a nice way to wake up by the way). Well, i just snooze like 10 minutes and get up of my bed, just get some shorts on and a t-shirt. Outside you hear like some cars and maybe some ambulance or a firetruck passing by. I go to the window, drag up the curtains and look out. Out from our seventhfloor view, out over S.F., i can see the legendary “toothpick” building from here and hopefully ill see the sun rising over some of the skyscrapers here. Otherwise ill just see fog and then i know its really cold outside. You know, like “jacket” cold, and that sucks a little.

Anyway i go out in the kitchen, open our kinda small but deep and wide as hell fridge and grab the half gallon milk thats in there. Pour up some in a nicelooking bowl from IKEA and just add some Cap’n Crunch. After that just brush my teeth, wash off my face and head down to our lobby, doing the “wassup” nod to the securityguard that sits there like 24/7 and head out on the street. It smells like Greece when you get out here, specialy on the mornings. This weird “hot” smell mixed with coffee from starbucks and the piss from all the bums that begging for your money when you get closer to Powell Station. I saw a guy yesterday held this sign that said “My family has been kidnapped by ninjas, give me a dollar”. So lame… Well i just head on the “T” train to Sunnydale and jumps off after like 15mins and head to my office.

More about my new apartment and some pics tomorrow. Got my comp back today aswell, HD was intact, fuck yeah! Its sweetalicious, until then. Holla~

Yesterday my mac died. That sucks…

Hell yeah. We got ourself an apartment.
I know it was a little impulsive and maybe a bit expensive but the good thing is that the deposit was so low and we can move in this saturday. The problem is that we dont have any beds to sleep in… Will check craigslist and maybe take a quick tour to IKEA to buy like a madrass or something so it will be all good. The place is soo nice, like 10 minutes with the train for me to my studio and like 5 minutes walk to where Emelie is gonna work. Two separate rooms, one newly renovated kitchen with like a small bar where we can eat n stuff and the best. We are living like 5 minutes walk from Union Square, which is like the biggest shopping area in whole S.F. plus we have our own gym at the mainfloor, a little rooftopfloor with a small barbecue and some nice chairs so you can make some food and just listen to the sounds of this wonderful town. I mean its like in the middle of everything, gah, i am so stoked about getting this place on saturday.

Was out skating at the skatepark today aswell, was kinda the wierdest park ive seen. And like no curbs or manualpads… How will i survive? I did crazy fs 180′s in the miniramp though, hell yeah! Then came home to the studio, brainstormed on some ideas and ate some sushi at this real nice place. Oh yeah!

Yeah, today was a long day. Woke up way to early because of the jetlag and like read my RSS. Then we went up, ate some breakfast and met the rest of the co-workers here at OK. After that we basicly just went in to town with the train and checked out the social security office. That was probably the sickest place ive been in a long time. Its like all these crack and heroin addicts waiting in a long line trying to scam the govermant on money, so rad. Anyway we got our notes and all that so we are getting a social security number in like 4 weeks, and that kinda sucks just because you need that number for like everything here. We cant buy a phone until we have one. Or we can buy what Jason calls a “ghettophone” that i can buy at like Wal Mart or sumthin but i want some Blackberry or the iPhone.

Superpsyched about going around in the city today, just seing it all. Its not so small as i imagined, i mean the buildings is not as high as in N.Y. but we just walked on the main street called like Market street and we were in all theese nice sneakerstores and in the middle of the street they had this massive mall, it was sick. Cant remember the name now though. Well we got back to the studio and been sitting here since. We went out photographing some but other then that we ust looked up some apartments on craigslist and chilled. Yeah, ate some really nice sushi aswell. Time to sleep now, Jason hit me up with a new board so were going skateboarding at like 7.30 tomorrow. So stoked.

Ah, fucking jetlag, cant sleep at all. Jason fixed this nice blownup bed for me that i was sleeping on, but i think it is some kinda hole in it because i just woke up in the ground for like 10 mins ago… Damn, should really get some sleep.

Alrighty, been awake for like 36 hours now but im finally here. This is crazy, and i mean like wild crazy. Jason (my CEO) picked me and Emelie up at the airport and we went to the studio to leave our bags. He had fixed up a small bed and some sheets on the couch so we can sleep here tonight and like tomorrow night. Anyway we was hungry as fuck so he drove us til some nice soulfood place that had connections with like Dave Chapelle n shit. Anyway we ordered some fried catfish and fried chicken. With some cornbread and mac’n'cheese. God damn it was good. After that we would go home and Jason found out the hard way that hes car wasnt registred for the smoganalysis or something. Anyway the cops pulled us over and gave him a little ticket. It was all good, the officer was nice n all. It was quiet fun because the cop though we was cruisin around for some drugs just because this soul food place was in the “bad” area of town, haha. Well anyway i just got described for me that there is more place to buy weed legaly here in S.F. then it is to buy a Big Mac. This whole franchise shit isnt so big here in CA then rest in the US. I will probably love it here, it feels like im in a movie or something, the golden gate bridge with it lights, all the wierd smells and people. Ah, it was a good first 5 hours in US. Time to sleep now. Btw, the place we ate at called Farmer Brown, nice dirty south food!

Primetime (New York New York)
That’s the place where the soldiers die (New York New York)
That’s the ghetto nigga’s feelings (New York New York)
That’s the niggas that multiply (New York New York)

Get your Mac, get your gat, head for 95
Stop, pick up your dogs, tell em, “Let’s ride”
Throw in some du-op shit, lean in your car
Knowing you’ll hear some new O.C. or Gang Starr
It ain’t to far once you into VA
Fuck with your high-beams and see who’s going your way
Keep your steez, so the man won’t trap you
Now leadin the convoy to the Big Apple!

Sitting on Newark Airport now. 8 hours on the plane here made me pretty tired. Watched Iron Man and Superhero movie though. Cant really say that the second one was one of the best movies ive seen… Well well, time to roll now. Ill blog when i get to San Fran. Peace~
