Bring on the Greens

Sean and I have been building a place where we can do a bit of gardening.

 

 

MBV is for Winners

While sitting in my study, writing informatics-papers to be able to (within months) collect the degree I started working on acquiring over ten years ago, I keep motivating myself by making a list of things I will allow myself to do once the diploma is on the wall. Today I added buying the new My Bloody Valentine album (mentioned in previous entries) to the mental schedule.
A good thing is that I only have three more papers to write before I have the god damn degree. The bad thing is that the list is unrealistically long.

A Tycho Brahe Day

So far today, everything that could go wrong has;

• I bought an eight pack of bread rolls - when I come home there's only seven in the pack, and on my way out of the store I stopped at the bin to throw away paper scraping and receipts i had in my pockets.
• I picked up a shirt I ordered online - it is the wrong colour, so now I have to send it back to Northern Ireland and call them and explain.
• My co-writer and I had to spend all of today redoing everything we did yesterday because we didn't have all the theories straight when we started writing.

Thanks TB, for coming up with these black letter days!

Here are some pictures of the obvious joy of helping out with the cooking.

 



B for Baroque

The other day, in class, I got upset that I only got a B+ on a paper. Later while riding the bus home I said to myself "at least it was a passing grade. that's all that really matters."
Then I had to tell myself to shut up and stop talking nonsense. Of course that's not all that matters. Being the best is what matters!

The Downward Spiral

The other day (Friday) I had two conversations with my class mates that made me think.

The first one was when I, at the large table in the cafeteria, asked who else was exited about the new My Bloody Valentine album. Apparently no one in my class had even heard about My Bloody Valentine and so, when they asked me to hum some of their songs I just let the discussion fizzle out.
Later, as we were talking about the Girl with the dragon tattoo-films I mentioned that the American had a leg up on the Swedish, since Trent Reznor had made the music for it. After some vague looks one guy finally asked "who is that?", but after it was clear that none of them had heard of Reznor - or Nine Inch Nails - I went back to my seat. 

So this made me realise two things:

1. Kids today don't know shit
2. I am awesome!

Snowmen and Patriotism!

Today, after Sean came home from day care we decided to build a snowman.

This is what it looked like.

So Far Today...

I have:

• Conjured up two pages on the relation between Carl Jung and The Picture of Dorian Gray
• Baked some scones
• Tried a new pancake recipe

That's pretty much it. It seemed like a lot more as I was doing it. Now I am just preparing for tomorrow's lecture and relaxing to Beat Happening.

I'm Not Saying Genius, But...

How many two year-olds can sing along with his father to Fredman's Epistel nr 81 (Märk hur vår skugga)?

Mine does, so that probably makes one...

Wild for Wilde

The wife keeps telling me she finds it crazy that I have three copies of The picture of Dorian Gray.
That is completely baroque - I have only got two copies.

Oui, Oui

Have got a couple of Serge Gainsbourg's albums loaded in the playlist and is trying to finish up an informatics paper. Some Saturday morning.

Fire & Filosophy

The wife's away with her mum watching a vampire film, So I have got a crackling fire and the good company of old Albert Camus to keep me warm and happy tonight.

"That is all"

... And We're Back

While staying home today, studying for an upcoming exam in Cognitive Psychology, I thought it fitting to dress like a crack-head.
