Kalle wrote about “Social Software“, i.e. Friendster and Tribe.net. I tried to sign up on the first but they had some problems with some profile, but I had better luck with Tribe. I signed in, joined a few Tribes as well as created a new one for all us in Sweden, called Sweden.Come join me, I am so alone there đ
Just watched the most lovely Swedish drama/comedy called “Grabben i graven bredvid” about librarian Desirée and her new love, Benny. Desire is ashamed about Benny as he is a farmer. The movie is filmed in Luleå which makes it even more interesting. I loved it.
I just back got back town, after a several hour long shopping spree, ALONE. The longest ever in my life đ I bought more stuff both for the house and for Johanna and Tovah than I can count from memory. I cannot say what as that would spoil the surprise when Johanna gets here.
I also got my Nanotechnology books today. 4 of them.
Ahhh, summer. I love the summer. The sun. The best part is being able to be outside all the time (when it is not too hot that is). Right now it is a bit cloudy and 22 degrees. The wind is blowing slowly and I am drinking the and eating grapes on the porch. Ahhhhh. Lovely.
Now it is only 3 days, 14 hours, and 52 minutes until my love returns.
I was sitting as a good boy chatting with Johanna. I had just finished my lunch and told her I was heading down town, and know what. IT STARTS RAINING. I hate rain……
No I have to stay inside instead.
Yesterday, I went for a long bike ride when it was as warmest (28 degrees!!). After about 17Km I stopped at OBS to buy some sour milk (filmjölk) and ended up buying food for 338:- including some unhealthy potato chips that I ate during the evening and in turn made my sick, uaaaaaahhhh. Too much fat. It is like a drug. I cannot stop while there are still some left in the bag. In total I biked about 30Km in the heat and I was really beat when I got home. During my ride I only saw completely normal people, not a single Gunnar. But then again it is hard to meet people when cykling. A whole bus of finish tourist waved to me though, that was fun đ Why? Well, my bike isn’t the most normal. There are two in Luleå and my family has both đ
Dinner was left overs from the day before, my stew that I ate this time with rice. Yummy. It is the kind of dish that gets better each time you eat it đ
In the evening it rained for the first time in two weeks. It really poured down. The kind if rain you see closer to the equator, in Florida or Asia.
For once I got into bed in a decent time (midnight) and the reason was that Blipp (my main desktop) had gotten kranky (i.e. it crashed) and today I manage to conclude that one of the memory DIMMs is broken. DEEEEELLLLLL, give me a new one NOW. Pulled it out and now the machine spins on nicely.
After breakfast I am heading down town to buy a huge salmon and some presents. Hope they have a good price today.
Kiwotsukete ne!
Instead of just reading the authors I know, I am trying to pick books more at random and just finished a very good book, Tokyo Natt (Tokyo Night). It is about a young woman that moves back to Tokyo where she is born (she is Swedish) and her struggles to find her self. It is a story about the life in Japan, parties, drugs and men and everything that comes with that (happiness, sadness, love).
Found his book tip and I am really going to read this after my current book. The special thing about it is that it is written by an autistic teenager!
On my way to work (if I walk) I pass a prison. Most of the time it looks just empty but when the light is right you can actually see the inmates sitting at a desk reading or you can see them outside in the yard laughing in the sun and e.g. building a new shed. When I pass by there I always wonder how it would be to be locked up in such a place. Well I have a destructive mind some time, or I am just curious, or perhaps it is just human nature?!
So how did think of this right right now? Well I was reading steffenie.net | loblogwhatever – fängelsedagbok and she found a Swedish prison diary. Looks very interesting…
As I wrote earlier today, “I Feel Good“, I headed out in the garden, cut the lawn, got rid of all the weed around my poor strawberries, cleared my second garden area and planted some seeds, and got hungry. Headed inside and ate my stew with cooked potatoes. Yes, I put some beans in it. Yummy đ
After the food I got really tired, hey I am on summer vacation and ended up before the TV again đ Watched the rest of Pulp Fiction, Basic with John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson (boring), and Who Am I with Jackie Chan which was very funny and I can highly recommend it! Chatted a bit with Johanna (love you, my lemon pie :-), cleaned up in the kitchen, sorted today’s incoming movies (1.8GB per hour đ and ended up with some Blog hacking (RSS, reading others etc.) and here we are at present time and I should have gotten into bed at least two hours ago.
All in all, it has been a very good day. Hmm, I think I will finish of the day with a short story from SexNovell.com đ
It can be a tedious task to keep track of all Blogs that have changed and after reading “RSS i MovableType i Sverige” I decided that to test an RSS reader and SharpReader in particular. It is a rather convenient way to keep track of all the Blogs you are reading.
