ngt så enkelt

Är helt frälst av Linus på linjen! Det kan man kalla barndomsminnen med klass ;)

Intressant att något så enkelt som en linje kan uppfattas som så roligt. Kanske är ett levande bevis för att vi egentligen inte behöver alla komplicerade saker vi tror oss behöva? :D

soooooo true!

"As for the shitty book, it SUCKS whenever you have to study from an absolutely SHITTY book. You're supposed to gain knowledge from a rectangle paper piece of shit which is actually partially responsible for the deforestation of the earth." (the Greek bat)

Damn, this is good. Respect.

for him I bow

My good old father is way better than me when it comes to taking his own way through life.

Now he decided to cut the landline, he simply phoned the two (?!?!) companies in charge for providing it and said "cut it, I don't want it anymore". So he is living in the middle of nowhere, with the green forest around, he has no landline, not really any access to internet anymore either, the refuse collection only really works during summer/autumn, currently has no car (it has some problems with the fuel tank...) so he is using the tractor as car instead etc...

For all of this, I love my father since he takes his own way through life without caring that much about whatever the society think is normal or not. Still I also wonder - what's next? ;)

sysadminday2009

Long time, long seen. Fortfarande lite lätt less på vissa saker. Kanske lite mer AFK hjälper?

Happy sysadmin day ppl!

Åke(mannen) visited me the other days, on his way from the north to the south. Hadn't seen him in way too many years so it was a nice visit! *tnx*

Why not? We are not that old! ;)

"soon as in my soon? or soon as in a regular soon? or soon-soon?"

I am soon to be done with my end-of-May list. Going to grab some food (without wine...) and then hopefully finishing things off! 

*lala-la-la*

hyperaktiv...naaa, bara lite ;)

Har jag varit/är i något slags hyperaktivt läge idag!

Vaknade alldeles för tidigt av något slags gnisslande ljud utifrån (E4:an passerar utanför fönstret så vad ska man säga?), strålande solsken som fick mig att studsa upp. Började med att plugga lite, hade ju ett par sidor kvar att läsa sedan igår...

Fortsatte med att laga en massa mat (stoppat 10++ lådor med färdiga portioner i frysen, vilket är bra att ha när jag snart hamnar i en jag-vill-inte-laga-mat period igen)! Efter det studsade jag vidare ett par varv i motionsspåret (rastlös som få!) innan jag avslutade och skickade in veckans hemuppgifter. Lyckades sedan lugna ner mig i säkert en timme innan jag hoppade upp igen - lagade mat till resten av huset!

Nudå? Lyssna på Janis Joplin :) Leta kort till draken kanske? Eller kanske ta någon annan punkt på den allt kortare att-göra-innan-maj-är-slut listan?

Känner mig lätt hyperaktiv idag.

life as it should be

Did a quick visit to Bureplatsen today.

Sun, blue sky and some random white clouds. Birds singing. Besides from that, only calm trees. Picture is from sometime last summer though, as I didn't bring my camera along today.

...and I am

Green leaves on the trees. Evening sun.
Scent of a newly cut lawn. Right now.
Then I realise. This is me.
And I am happy.

not to forget

Sonja has her birthday today. 89 years old now. Best additional grandmother ever.

2008 is gone, 2009 has come.

Am I supposed to remember what happened during the previous year? I don't remember much, just remember some parts and then again I have some gaps during some weeks/months. I think I can remember the year of 2008 as a year with changes, leading to something new. I hope.

I remember how 2008 ended at least (always something), I spent most of the time between what other people call Christmas and now in the land of nowhere. Where the streets barely have names. Where street lamps barely exist. Where you can go out on a 2 hours walk and not see another human being. Where you can relax. Where you can do crazy stuff. Where you can do whatever you feel like doing without justification. Where you even can hide from random gossip. Soooooooo good for young crazy "homeless" people like myself!

efficient or not, that's the question

Yesterday I was in some high efficiency mood, somehow managed to bake caramel cookies, gingerbread cake, some regular bread and cook a lot of food in just some hours. For me, being in that state is rare. I don't enjoy cooking/baking so...Now I don't have to do it for a while, makes me somehow happy. Also, randomly, sister & G visiting in about 1 week is good. My father's appointment with the doctor + surgery is delayed until January or so, not that good but he will survive that too.

Today has been quite inefficient. Did some editing & sorted out the videos issue. Just need to finish the other pics and then they all of them are done for delivery. Would be good to deliver them before the weekend. Other than that, I've mostly added stuff to my list of things to do today. Head feels mostly like a sponge (been sneezing for hours). Think I am catching a cold/flu. Hope it's just a regular cold so that I will be fine in just some days. Did find out that I was accepted for a course I applied for taking after Christmas, now I just need to figure out if I really want to take it or not.

Guess some sleep in general would be good.

*zzz*

sketching/drawing kit

Stumbled upon parts of my sketching/drawing kit (read: loads of papers, pens, pencils, graphite sticks) today! Been missing for a while, wondering why these particular ones were doing in a suitcase...Anyway, nice nice!

got a new...

...cactus! Just love it.

visit in Luleå 2008

So I made it, I am back in Sundsvall. After two weeks of absence, this city is no longer that bad...Luleå wasn't that bad either.

*big thank you to the ppl who survived having me as a guest these days*

A well known sight, Regnbågsallén at LTU, don't know how many times we have walked along this one. Several times each day for years...In rain, in sunshine, in snowstorms. Dressed in funny clothes, dressed in fancy clothes, dressed in warm clothes, barely dressed at all...Crazy moments in a student's life...

Of course, Babsan. Who could forget her? This lovely cute little animal. Miska's "love". So charming. She apparently loves bags too, to climb into them and so on. If the bag is not open so that she can get into it - then she eats her way into them. I haven't really thought that much about having rats/mice as pets before. Perhaps since I love snakes and have had some of those as pets. Snakes eats rats/mice so...hmm.




Isn't this a lovely sight? A lot of resistors and a red LED. Took this picture over at the xp-el room in the A building. I did end up with spending some time at this place too, how strange. Can not see why...perhaps it's like Irini and I said the other day when we were talking "when you have been studying electronics for some time then you feel attracted to these things :P ". Perhaps...




Spent an afternoon in the city. Made a visit to one of the four icebreakers that currently resides in Luleå. Really cool thing this heavy large boat. With the help of these, other boats/ships can get through even in winter when the ice is thick. We got to see quite a lot of it (bridge, engine rooms, sauna, dinner room etc) , during our more than 1 hour long tour. Coooooool.








A fountain with foam. As every year during the welcoming period. Perhaps they should learn the lesson of using yes next time. Yes creates a lot more foam and if you want to make it even more "fun" you can put in some colouring substance so that you get red or green foam (yellow, blue works too). Ehrm, may have been so that we did that some years ago too. A lot of red foam. Everywhere. Ooops. Not that fun to clean up though...

Sweet little alpaca

Saw this one and its family on the way home from nowhere yesterday. Not really common animals over here in Sweden ;)

So sweet with those big dark eyes. Who can resist such thing? (for sure some ppl, but still...)

Götheborg

Went to see when Götheborg arrived today.
Quite nice despite some minor things.

More pictures found here.

another week has passed...AGAIN

Yet another week, almost. Some more emails have been exchanged. Seems like I will have to wait with this "plan of mine" until next round of applications. It's too late for this round - as I have suspected all along but it was worth a try :( 

Guess I will survive even if this adds approximately another 6 months to the process ;)

{ tusen bitar }

Heard approximately half of this song today, on the radio while we were driving back home...brought back some good/bad memories.

Tusen bitar - Björn Afzelius

Det sägs att ovan molnen är himlen alltid blå,
men det kan va svårt att tro när man inte ser den.
Och det sägs att efter regnet kommer solen fram igen,
men det hjälper sällan dom som har blitt våta.

För när vännerna försvinner, eller kärleken tar slut,
ser man allt med lite andra ögon.
Man övar sig, och långsamt blir man bättre på att se
skillnad mellan sanningar och lögner.

Allting kan gå itu, men ett hjärta kan gå i tusen bitar.
Säger du att du är min vän så är du kanske det.
Allting kan gå itu, men ett hjärta kan gå i tusen bitar.
Säger du att du är min vän så är du kanske det.

Det sägs att det finns alltid nånting bra i det som sker,
och tron är ofta den som ger oss styrka.
Ja, man säger mycket, men man vet så lite om sig själv
när ångesten och ensamheten kommer.

För när vännerna försvinner, eller kärleken tar slut,
ser man allt med lite andra ögon.
Så man övar sig, och långsamt blir man bättre på att se
skillnad mellan sanningar och lögner.

Allting kan gå itu, men mitt hjärta kan gå i tusen bitar.
Säger du att du är min vän så är du kanske det.

La - la - la - la - aaa.

Allting kan gå itu, men mitt hjärta kan gå i tusen bitar.
Säger du att du är min vän så är du kanske det.

La - la - la - la - aaa.

Oh allting kan gå itu, men mitt hjärta kan gå i tusen bitar.
Säger du att du är min vän så är du säkert det.

Campaign - "Cultures on my street"

I was randomly visiting some pages today and through one of them I found out about the campaign called "Cultures on my street" actually being a photo competition open to all EU residents. You can find the link to its page here.

I might even participate.

Will you?
