— How was the pizza? — Pretty good, a bit too salty though I think. — Salty?!
So only my slice then. Now I suspect people in my family are trying to kill me off, probably so they’ll devide all my loot between them. Funny, I never really pegged them as such heavy music/movie/fanzines/book-users — this makes it even more plausable, hiding addictions and such. Does arsenic have a salty...

I did follow my excellent guide to better napping, waking up to gain strength at regular occasions and all that. It helped a bit, the stupid head disapperad only to be replaced by another. This one didn’t suffer from sleeping disorders and shit like that. No, it was far worse. It was the one which that felt ignored. I hate that head. Always me-me-me and worried about the silence. I dumped in...
Let's Briefly Discuss the Legality of Naps
vinh:
I took a glorious afternoon nap today. Woke up for an undetermined amount of time - I would put a guess at 5 minutes - and then fell back asleep. Does this count as two naps or a single epic nap? What’s the statute of limitations on how long a person has to be awake for there to be a second nap instead of having an interruption in the middle of a single nap?
Good question. A five minute...

I’m looking to trade in/sell my Nikon D60 body and buy a Nikon D80 body. For those of you who use Nikon and have tried either of these cameras, could you give me some opinions as to weather or not this small step would be worth it?
Depends on how you use the camera. The D80 can use the auto-focus on more cheap lenses and has more focus points and dedicated buttons, but...

Is this the amazing Where the Wild Things Are Trailer hot off the presses or an excellent new Arcade Fire music video?
This looks like it will live up to ALL of its promise and all my childhood dreams. Mark my words, I will weep in the theater.

Stop teasing and just give me the damn movie! I can’t take it anymore. I’m sick of all the crap they feed...
Onions in new places. More specifically, behind the ear. Throwing things after you scratch yourself instead of before can lead to new experiences.

There’s a Swedish gangster movie — I will not link to it and yes, both Mikael Persbrandt and Kjell Bergqvist is in it — and the official site made me blow a funny fuse. The descriptions, the still gallery, the… No, that was as far as I got before I almost died. It looks like plot porn, it reads like plot porn, but my god, I hope there’s no porn at all. That’s a trauma we as...

The Mekons play in England soon again and I can’t afford to go, as per usual. For me, this is like $DEITY’s visiting the neighbours and I’m being unable to crawl out of my cellar to be healed because every bone is broken.
I’ll have to make due with the bootlegs. But some day! Damn you, I will make it! Even if it means I have to… uhm, this page is being indexed by...

So thats now a Camera fund to start to add to the rent, life, bills, food, medical, fun, and travel funds I have in my head already…. Life.
I have friends in the same situation. Ask the local photo stores about if they got and if so how much they want for old demo cameras and such. If lucky, they might be cheaper than eBay.
Can’t you convert one of the funds into a...

Day spent with sneezing and bleeding nose. I’m trying to cure it by having some tea and listening to GZA and read books. It works. Sort of. Still sneeze. The bleeding has stopped though, but it might start again as the nose feels a bit odd.
Have tea and listen to GZA on the other hand, that works damn good together. Almost like they were made as pieces of the same puzzle. Perhaps not always...

An Horse reminds me of Sally Crewe and the Sudden Moves. This is a good thing, but Sally is a bit closer to my musical heart. Vrooom! and all that.
Did something stupid with the DNS earlier but now it seems to work again. I hope.

Six-Word Reviews of 1,302 SXSW Mp3s are awesome in general, but this one is super remarkable because it uses the unicode snowman!
I agree with Paul Ford about pretty much all the bands I’ve heard on this list — which isn’t as many as you’d believe. I disagree about Nellie McKay, but fuck, he loves Jon Langford so I forgive him. For Mekons associated love, I can forgive...

Things I worry about when I lie in bed and tries to sleep.
Will people like me less in the morning?
I might suffocate and not be able to do anything about it if I’m asleep.
What damage will I cause to myself tomorrow?
What if that “we’ll talk more tomorrow” turns into a few months?
What if there’s a flood? I can drown or be washed up ashore in Agunnaryd. Not sure...

Go n-ithe an diabhal mé!*
So it’s St. Patrick’s Day. Obviously, judging from all the posts on my dashboard. It would have been nice to have been in Uppsala tonight with good(?) live music, people and a few pints. But no, I forgot and I didn’t think. I’ll make it up to the place soon.

Crap. In the spam-department of my gmail I found this thing with the subject iTunes invoice #blahblahblah. My first thought was “Holy moley, I don’t have an iTunes-account!” But then the curiosity took over and I opened it. I had too. It was an urge to know what this me-who-isn’t-me had bought. Did we share the extraordinary good taste even though we — I assume — were...

Been thinking about that framing business with the photographs. I think I’m onto something here, and it needs folding schematics and research building materials and all those things. Getting excited. Paper! Pens! I’m more or less certain that I will go the etsy route, and with 8x12 as a default size unless asked for something specific.
(Feel to comment and give suggestions. I can be...

The tea infuser was emptied into the trash as I put the water on boil. Still, some leaves tried to stay behind, not wanting to let go. So I hosed it with cold water, of course, and that was the end of that.
But it was also the beginning of something else. There were some old tea left in the cup and this is where my mind does something stupid. It told my brain to put it under the stream of water....

There is one thing that I miss on tv. A Muppet Show. And while IM’ing with Fredrik a few minutes ago I realized what I’d really love to see them do.
Imagine a weekly show where they make short remakes of famous movies. Not like the Scary Movie “parody” crap, proper movies. With a plot and twists and characters and… Funny remakes. For instance, since we already talked...

Yesterday was winter all over again, today it’s gone. It is a fickle being, this weather. It’s not that cold either, which is nice in a way. No freezing is a good thing, nut it would be more cozy if it were colder. The bowl of tea steaming in the room, the atmospheric music of Magnolia Electric Company and just sitting there. Not doing much at all, reading a book (Contract), surfing...
