My mum, sis and kinda-brother-in-law came back from Japan the other day.
I love Japan.
I miss Japan.
Anyhow..
To help my mum get over the jet lag (and to make you all finally read the book); here’s Katniss Everdeen:
Mama kore mo mita?
running around london
Today was a great day. Nothing epic happened, I didn’t find a cure for cancer and neither did I run an ultramarathon. But it was great nevertheless.
I woke up rather groggy and headed half asleep to Camden. Camden was asleep as well.
Reason for my trip was a yoga class at Alchemy. It woke me up nicely.
Then I headed to inSpiral which is London’s veggie heaven.. It’s uber hippie-ish and their raw cakes are to die for.
Instead of opting for cake I had a berry bliss smoothie and some hemp, oat and goji berries porridge.
Awww porridge!
And then I headed to an other foodie heaven (I know it’s not all too fascinating for non-foodies but I get ecstatic while groceries shopping)
Oh and then I got some running shoes. Now I have a pair of Adidas (on their last leg – no pun intended) and a pair of Nikes. I hope they won’t secretly fight themselves.
Speaking of shoes… I’ve had this mess ever since I moved to my flat:
That’s what happens when you don’t have a shoe rack! So I headed to Argos (and almost died of laughter – what a hilarious concept they have…).
Ten minutes after I got back home I ended up with this:
I put it together all by myself (shameless pride here!!)
On my catalogue shopping trip I also picked up a fabulous frame …
Zytgloggeeeeee!!!!!!
And then I basically spent my entire afternoon sorting out my room. But of course I also took some breaks to drink tea and snack (what else did you expect). I then watched the Toughest Race On Earth. Crazy! A Marathon is a walk in the park in comparison.
My flatmate Mel and I are currently watching “the Lincoln Lawyer”. As she said: “Wild Saturday night for us girls!”,
But hey, I joined Twitter today (@KarinOnTheRun). Let’s see what the buzz is all about!

I think I have a new favourite cinema in London.
We went and saw “Submarine” on our “traditional” Sunday movie night (my roomie and I established that when we had to write a film review). And if you ever get the chance: please go and see this amazing little film!
We saw the film in Curzon on Shaftesbury Avenue and it’s my new favourite cinema. It’s small, has a bar, plus a café that sells delicious cakes which you can take into the cinema.
They show more “artsy” films (you know, the ones that end up on the “Best Foreign Film” list at the Oscars) and I can’t wait to go back. Well they show “Little White Lies” there soon.. hehe.
PS: Have you seen/watched a good film lately? “Your Highness” gets released this week and I can’t wait to see it. The trailer is so hilarious. Have you watched it? In case you haven’t.. here it is:
ps: Our budgets don’t allow us to go to the cinema every week so we also watch films on DVDs. Just in case you assume I’ll be broke by the end of the month (hint hint mum and dad).
Yesterday I popped by Sainsbury’s and they had Harry Potter 7.1 on sale.
So when I wanted to pay for the DVD and the oranges and the quorn (excitement..) the cashier asked me if I had an ID (!!!) with me.
Oh and in case you can’t see that little number on the DVD case..
After I stared at her blankly for 10 seconds or so she asked me: “How old are you?” and I said “Erm….. 24…?”.
I mean seriously…
WTF?
But she let me go without any proof of ID (because I had none with me). Whew.
Maybe it was my Justin Bieber T-shirt and the lollipop in my left hand that gave me away. Or maybe the piggy tails. Or my braces.
Whatever it was, I now officially look like a 11-year-old. Excellent.
