Lou: I went to the McDonalds over in Shelbyville the other day.
Chief Wiggum: The Mc-what?
Lou: Yeah, I never heard of it either but they say they have over 2000
locations in this state alone.
Eddie: Hmm…Must’ve sprung up over night.
Lou: But you know, its the little differences.
Chief Wiggum: Example?
Lou: Well at a McDonalds you can get a Krusty Burger with cheese. But they
don’t call it a Krusty Burger with cheese.
Chief Wiggum: Get out! What do they call it?
Lou: A quarter pounder with cheese.
Chief Wiggum: Quarter pounder with cheese…well I can see the cheese but?
Hey, do they have Krusty’s Partially Gelatinated Gum-Based beverages?
Lou: Yeah, they call them ‘shakes.’
Eddie: *Pfft* ‘Shakes.’ You don’t know what you’re gettin’.
đ Thanks Jalle.

I Feel Good
Yes, I do! I woke up 10:30, read some for an hour and got up around 11:30. Told myself that I would only start some music on my computer but got stuck there instead, started downloading some Beatles from a someone that had a big collection. Many old albums, both real and bootlegs. Right now I am listening to Beatles for Sale from 1964. Beatles are the best!!!! I feel good.
Felt rather pepped, took a shower, shaved and headed down to the kitchen. PIP PIP. Got a message from Johanna, YES, I didn’t hear anything from her all day yesterday and I was a bit worried that she was upset and angry with me. The reason for her absence from cyberspace wasn’t that at all, but her mother who was visiting yesterday had decided to stay the night and had just left. I gave her (Johanna that is đ a call and heard Tovah screaming in the background. Apparently she was very upset and tired today. Johanna, emphasized that she wasn’t mad with me at all, quite the opposite. She was longing for Friday when she got back to Luleå. We quickly decided to go bathing on Friday with a picknick, I really hope the weather stays this good. Now I am listening to Beatles Please Please Me. These older albums are so good and mostly unknown (i.e. they are never played on the radio, if they play any Beatles at all). I feel good.
Cleaned up the kitchen, for the first time since before I left for the mountains it is all clean and started making dinner. A long boiling stew that I am going to eat tonight. It is basically a tomato sauce with tons of spices in which I cook bacon and pork meat. It should cook long enough for the meat to fall to pieces. I haven’t decided if I am going to put beans in it or not. Mmmm, it smells nice in the house. I feel good.
Now I am heading out in the sun to cut the lawn. Catch you all later! I feel good, I really do, mmmmm!

Book Update
After finishing Prime Time I continued with Mikael Niemi’s Populärmusik från Vittula. It was really funny to read about the life in Pajala with all the drinking, the sauna bathing contest, the summer job rat war, the air pellet gun wars in the woods and many other stories. I especially liked the music teacher from Skåne as I myself grew up in Skåne and now live in Luleå not to far from Pajala.

Around Town
I just got back from a ride around town, a little trip of about 25Km. It so nice just cruising along on my bike. It took about 55 minutes and it actually was the first time I took this trip out to Gäddvik. I had only passed that way by car earlier. It is amazing how much energy can be stored up inside you by doing nothing. I haven’t really done anything physically for a week, besides going up and down the stairs in the house that is đ I feels so good!

Trailers
I am so disappointed in movies sometimes. You watch the trailer and think, Hey cool, I HAVE to see this movie and then when you watch it you get soooooo disappointed. One such movie is Joy Ride. They showed all the cool parts in the trailer and then the movie sucked big time. DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE.
The Island Chronicles
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
