Mark from The Island Chronicles has written a dispatch about their moving to Rarotonga. Read it, it is very amusing!! Mark is really a good writer!

Coupling
I just found out that my all time favorite TV show Coupling is being remade in the US by NBC. The original is from UK and one might wonder why they just cannot air the original instead of remaking it. NBC has so far released a 4.28 min. “trailer” and all the characters are almost identical and so is the typical bar where they always hang out. It looked very good though, but still it isn’t the original. It never is, is it?
The rest of the day
I spent the rest of the day sorting my movie collection that is getting way to big with quite a lot of duplicates. Right now Blipp (one of my computers) is recoding all my Ren & Stimpy cartoons. They are really funny đ The cleaning actually gave me another 73GB of free disk space.
Johanna said she like my Blue Wind Haiku and that made me happy đ I feel really good today!! They are coming home in 8 days, 7 hours and 59 minutes and I have already started planning that day (food, activities and much more, froom froom ;-).

Manihiki
Quickly checked how one travels to Manihiki and apparently it would take me between 35 and 45 hours to get there from Luleå and the airfare would be 45,000SEK ($5625). The living on Manihiki is really cheap though, 225SEK ($28) for me, Johanna and Tovah with all meals included in one the two basic “rent a room” places on the island. No hot water and almost no electricity but probably as much swimming as one might want đ

Hmmm
Perhaps I should skip breakfast and go directly for lunch? I still have reached the shower (well I am alone đ and my hunger has come and gone.
By the way, Johanna wasn’t to keen on moving permanently to the south pacific đ

South Pacific
Perhaps we should move to the south pacific? That is what Mark and Carla did together with their two daughters. Read about why they moved.
What do you say Johanna?
Manihiki
You have to check out this overly beautiful island!
Hacking….
Woke up at 10:30 and sat down in front of the computer where I had planned to sit for 5 minutes, but as it is summer nothing goes as planned đ I have now been sitting here for 4 hours and perhaps it is time for some breakfast.
I have been surfing, making changes to my blog page, reading other blogs. I.e. not doing really anything đ I love it!
Well, NOW it is time for a shower and the something to put into to feeding gap in my face.

Blogs…
There are many strange things one can do around the Blog phenomenon.
Blogathon is an event for raising charity money by staying up and blogging for 24 hours straight on March 26: Last year they raised $50,000!
Another “strange” thing is Blogshares, the Fantasy Blog Shares Market. Blogs are valued by how many incoming links they have and when you sign up you get $500 of virtual money that you can spend on shares. I just found out about this today, but apparently my blog has been traded since day 1 (March 23 2003) and it is currently valued at $1,366.67 with a stock price of $50.79. My market share is 0.0004%. Complete strangers are trading stock in my blog. That is rather cool đ

Jackass the Movie
I just saw Jackass the Movie and these guys are really crazy. It is really amazing what these guys are prepared to go through. E.g. getting shot with a beanbag from a real shotgun, electrifying their balls, golf car stock racing, and much much more. If you enjoy people getting hurt then see this movie.
