Not for kids, not for adults

Here we go again. Another fantasy series that has taken the step from books to the cinemas. This time with a girl in the main role though.
Young Lyra gets an Alethiometer (i.e. some kind of old gizmo that tells you the truth if you ask it something) from the master at her school before going to the North on […]

Arvika 2008

Yes, the ticket for next year´s Arvikafestivalen is now bought. 695 SEK for a 3 days long festival must be among the cheapest in whole Europe. Just compare with 1590 SEK for Hultsfred (+128% Arvika), 1295 SEK for Peace & Love (+86% Arvika) and 2050 SEK for Roskilde (+194% Arvika).

Worse and worse

I do not know what happened with my music taste during 2007. I have always had a very broad taste with my heart in the electronic genre but loving everything from rap to metal to pop to mainstream. 2007 something strange happened though and I have to admit that I suspect it can have something […]

Telenor ad

Sitting in a rental car on my way to Näsum I have to say that our service Mobile Broadband just rocks! Surfing the web works really smooth and if I only had some space for the mouse I probably would have been online gaming.
A USB modem (supporting up to 3.6 Mb/s and unlimited data usage for just 199 SEK […]

Back to the veterinary

Last Thursday it was time to take Zello the veterinary, again. Three months after wearing a plastic collar it was time again. In some mysterious way she has managed to hurt a claw in her left front paw so badly that it started to rotten from the inside. Said and done. To the veterinay and amputate […]

Sick minds

Planet Terror is an interesting movie in many ways. It is zombies. It is ultra violence. It is gore. It is fake commercials. It is a chick with a machine gun leg. It is delibarately poor picture quality (to make it look old). It is grindhouse. It is a movie made by the sick minds of […]

Christmas Tour 2007

This year we have cut down the tour with two days. And I am not a bit sad for that. Christmas Eve will be spent in Smedby with Anette´s family and the traditional dinner at her grandmother´s. Christmas Day will be spent in Näsum with my family and a dinner at my aunt´s.
Hopefully we will […]

My birthday week - a short recap

Yup, I know it is a week late but I have not had time to write anything until now.

Monday 10th - Angst over becoming 30. I am not afraid to die but getting old. Gah!
Tuesday 11th - My 30th birthday. Celebrated it with some after work with current and former colleagues. Beer and food. Felt nice not […]

Weight progress

My progress regarding gaining weight actually seems to go quite well. With exception for the weeks 46 and 47 when I lived on eating bloody steaks in Spain (i.e. no food at all) and sallad in Norway I have a steady curve pointing the right way and I actually just touched my first goal last […]
