I've been cleaning and packing for what feels like days now. After working with my producer, Eric Gast, for 25 days in a row, 10-14 hours/day, there hasn't been much room for anything else.
After being inside of the creative "work bubble", reality felt like a punch in the face when I got home.
A big pile of things like going through mails, paying bills, washing clothes, vacuuming, getting guinea pigs for my snake etc. was kindly waiting for me.
I also had music video shootings the next three following days. I had promised my friends to play this character in their music video.
I usually take time to prepare before I do any kind of acting but this time I didn't get the chance.
It was another nice but intense challenge. We had a very tight schedule, quickly going from one shot to another so all I could do was to go with the flow and try to manipulate myself to feel certain things. There wasn't much room for analyzing whether it worked or not.
I think the result from my part is either gonna be good or terrible. In any case, I learned something new.
Now my bags are packed, the snake is fed and the flat is cleaned. I'm going back to Sweden to do some stage coaching and studio work for a few days. Then I will have some time off, go crazy and let the child in me go wild before I go to Midem (the world's largest music industry trade fair).

As much as I love what I do, a little break wouldn't harm. It takes about three days for me to get out of the working mode.
It's not until you're able to put your daily life a side that the mind can truly relax. That's when magic starts to happen. When your body absorbs everything you've learned, gain energy and inspiration for the next round.
I also just got the wonderful news that Eric is coming back two days after I get home for another 25 day session, so I'm definitely gonna need a full charged battery.
