Let's see how long it lasts.

Day 12

The Nobel Prize for Literature 2011

Did you hear who has been awarded the Nobel prize for Literature this year?

Tomas Tranströmer!

My favorite poet. And a Swede!

I'm definitely not into poetry, but this poet is amazing. I was forced to read and analyze him in high school and I'm so glad that I had to. Tranströmer writes in a pretty simple way, with a very metaphorical language. He's been translated into over 60 languages and I've heard that his poems are great translated too.

He unfortunately doesn't write much anymore due to a stroke he suffered, but he's also a very good piano player and I think there are published recordings by him too.

I truly recommend you reading some of Tranströmers work! Here's an Amazon link to one of his books: The Great Enigma: New Collected Poems

Gym card!

I bought my first gym card ever yesterday. It's been since my first year of high school I worked out regularly. And that's like... 6 years ago. I also took my first class yesterday. Some basic cardio, strength (like sit-ups and push-ups) mixed with simple aerobic moves. I feel a bit sore today, but it's such a great feeling!

Day 11 - Silhouette

Ok, so this might not be a great silhouette picture, but it was the best I could do.

It's an Instagram filter and then I did some tilt shifting to get focus on their hands.
