No, I didn’t die. There are other reasons for not updating your blog in a long time. Let’s say, I’ve been busy? … No, ok, something else? … I’ve had troubles with my internet connection? … No, not that either, although that could have been true considering the troubles I had for most part of the fall. No, the truth is: I JUST HAVEN’T BEEN BOTHERED. Why should I have? And you guys shouldn’t complain anyway. Just look at Jen, she hasn’t updated since like late December sometime when she wrote she was sick. Do we even know if she got better? Jonathan and Åsa doesn’t have blogs, at least that I know of. Janie stopped writing on hers for a long time, then she abandoned it for a new one that’s not as fun (sorry, but Puttenutt was much better and it looked nicer). Clara and Emelie, you guys have been on and off it seems, with long breaks sometimes but you’re still putting words out there and that’s good. Good for you, and now things are starting to move again for me as well… maybe? We’ll see. Hopefully.

I won’t be updating with lots of pictures any more. Not here. I’m already uploading pictures on my photoblog (for which I’m paying money) so I see no point in doing the same work twice. Instead you’ll get the link, right here and now, although you all probably already have it:

The pictures that are there aren’t just artsy photos. You may think none are artsy but that’s a different matter. Some are artsy and some are just nice pictures. I try to offer some of both. For example this weekend I went out to my summerhouse. I’ll upload some of those pictures in just a bit. Maybe tomorrow if I don’t have time now. No advertising or anything, but Flickr is a great photoblog site, just like I think this site, BootsNAll, is great for normal- and travelblogs.

Now I’ve at least explained some of it. I didn’t say why I wasn’t bothered, but that I don’t even know myself, really. I’ve had other priorities the last couple of months. I feel now though, that I have kinda lost contact with some of you guys. It’s hard when we don’t see each other, when there seems to be so many other things in your lives over in England. You’re just here short periods of time. I guess you know what I mean. Just that it would be nice with some contact still, you know. Even if it’s just a mail now and then. And I know, I’ll have to get better too. It’s about taking time, even if you don’t always have it. We guys all had something really special so we should make sure we don’t lose it.

Don’t forget to visit my Flickr page. I’ll go upload some new pictures right away.

Thursday was SACOmässan again. I remember them having it last year too, but I never went back then. It’s the fair when all the universities and other higher educations gather for all high school students to have a look at. They also had a bunch of lectures on different things, and I found them quite interesting. I attended one on how to study efficiently, one about being a teacher, another about how to apply for jobs and what to think about when you do that, and one that was meant to help you know what you want to study (like I haven’t tried already, eh). No, but they were actually pretty interesting all of them and I got a lot of brochures and catalogues from places all over the country. I actually spent close to five hours there so I guess I got a little bit wiser after all… and I might even know what I want to do. The lecture didn’t really tell me anythings I didn’t know, but the whole teaching thing might be my “cup of tea”. I remember having though about it before. Gymnasium teacher. It could be quite fun, only I don’t really know what subjects I would teach. I guess it’d have to be something I find enjoyable and something I’m good at. Maybe english, drama, religion (but that’s a tiny subject, so I don’t know). You have to have at least two subjects and it helps to have a third, so maybe I could have all those three. We’ll see. Have to look things up first. By the way, I was quite good at history and arts as well.

Here’s a picture from one of the lectures at SACO.

The “Coke Night” I mentioned before actually happened Thursday last week. I wasn’t really as planned, that we would have unlimited amounts and try to drink as much coke as possible. Instead we tried to have a good time and avoided that idea and all the throwing up that would come with it. Clara came over to my place and Åsa came a while later when she ended work. We did finish three bottles 1.5L so I guess there were still some input of fluids that evening (no, I don’t mean it the weird way it that’s what you were thinking, just tried to use different words than “drinking coke” all the time). Anyways here’s a picture I took. Åsa falling behind in drinking seems to make Clara happy.

Also this Thursday was my mom’s birthday. Look what a beautiful cake dad and I made her:

And I thought the cake I baked for dad when it was his birthday last month was nice… but when comparing… maybe not! It looks very messy (they 6 and the 4 means he turned 64, just so you know).

Now, lets play “spot the Maltesers on the cakes”!

Absolutely! Just thought this was a nice comparison to the picture of the blodpudding we had at Jonathan's summer place. This picture was taken yesterday when I had lunch with Clara at Café 113 50. Good pasta mixes: taco-chicken, keso-chicken ... [Continue reading this entry]

I haven't updated in a long time, and I won't come with any ridiculous excuses. I haven't bothered that's all. Haven't been motivated to write anything, haven't been inspired... and also, I haven't had any pictures to put up since ... [Continue reading this entry]

Checked the Cinemateket schedule for November/December, which was released one of these days, and was really inspired again to discover the old films they had listed. During the two months I've already been a member, they've only had a few ... [Continue reading this entry]

I guess I should't be posting this, but I'll just hope she [Emelie] won't check this blog within the next 2-3 days... and then if she does, will be able to forget all about this entry as of the 26th. [Continue reading this entry]

I think she's been the one wanting it the most. Sure, I enjoyed it, didn't we all, but the's the one who's struggled and suffered the most. It must suck being the last one. What am I talking about? A ... [Continue reading this entry]

No longer the afroman you all know me as. Cut my hair this morning lost all my beautiful waves and curls. Pretty happy with the new haircut, still. But it is awful sitting at the hairdresser's. I hate it. Not ... [Continue reading this entry]

I didn't think walking into the kitchen for a glass of juice, that it had unexpectedly turned slightly more French. No, it wasn't Nicolas secretly cooking family dinner. Nor was it the loaf with raisins and gouda cheese that had ... [Continue reading this entry]
