Just added a couple of friends’ blogs to the ol’ blogroll and wanted to give them a proper introduction on Eeper. Peter Verdell is a new friend this summer; we like to talk about books and theology, he was responsible for my inaugural viewing of The Royal Tenenbaums, he’s a great singer/songwriter musician type of guy, and he owns a cat that I actually like. Peter’s blog is called “Hi, Everything’s Great!” He doesn’t post too often but I still enjoy it, especially his ”Open letter to the tall, thin girl @ 24 hour fitness.” Peter doesn’t have many pictures of himself on his blog, but I like this one because it shows Peter (in the red shirt on the right) in his standard uniform and doing something he loves: picnic and a movie at Hollywood Forever cemetery (and amazingly, I have not once been able to make it out there this summer!)
The other site I added to my blogroll, anna matilda josefin, belongs to my dear friend Matilda Blomgren, who I staffed with in Norway, along with her then-fiance Rickard. Matilda is a unique, beautiful, intelligent girl and has a dizzying array of talents and abilities. I think one of my favorite things about Matilda is how she has perfected the blend of tomboy and girly-girl. How does she do it? I don’t know how I could have gotten through my time in Norway without her, and I love that her Swedish blog now has a translation option so I can read about what’s going on instead of just trying to guess from the pictures. The translator is a bit funky, so you just have to go with it. Oh, and Matilda is a brilliant photographer, and really beautiful, so even if you don’t read the posts it’s nice just to have a look. Here’s our Swedish friend in her Swedish glory:
