"Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine."

Yay, I actually wrote two posts in the SAME week... Amazing...

So, I got a new computer right and as you know I'm Swedish, which means that my family lives in Sweden and I don't get to see them very often...

I somewhat solved that little issue a short while ago by buying a web camera, which I use together with the MSN messenger, and voila, they can both hear and see me! Albeit a little jerky quality of the video and sound quality (being the god forsaken internet's damn slow speeds fault). But hey presto! It does work but unfortunately they neither have camera or microphone (tight asses!) so I can only have a one side conversation with them (I'm speaking directly into the lens of the camera and get no response, which takes a little getting used to) whilst waiting for them to type their reply.
This means the conversation is only as fast as it takes them to type... So when you talk to your mother, it can take a loooong time... No offense folks!

Another thing to is that we're so fortunate to have the APEC meeting here in a few weeks time which is going to clog everything up. If it's not protesters, it'll be the police or what not... I'm just going to stay out of that let them have their fun...

Peace out!

Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn

So...

I suck... I didn't write as often as I thought I would... But hey, don't blame me, a few things HAVE happened in the recent months wich I blame on my lack of witing here.

So, just to give a quick catch up. I left my old job partly of what happened in May and partly due to the fact it was time to move on and up.

So things are finally looking better??? Well, I guess so...

But I do feel that I have fallen into this loop where I feel like I'm going to be stuck in for a little while now unless I do something. Not necessesarily something drastic and immediate, just that I need to do something ou of the ordinary... Maybe tap into my creative side... :P

What else has happened.. My flatmate moved out, so I'm all on my own again now, big difference when you have lived with someone in a 1 bedroom apartment for 5 1/2 months (note that he slept in my livingroom, not in the bedroom with me ;) ).

I also bought myself a new neat little tv, a 42" LCD which I do like a lot! :) It was the TV or a holiday back to the folks in Sweden... I choosed the former.

I have discovered a really annoying fact, every time I go shopping at IKEA (being Swedish you wouldn't shop anywhere else,it's out of the question) I always realise as soon as I get home that I forgot to buy something. Never anything major, but never the less VERY frustrating.
You make your bloody little list and carefully make sure you get everything, but no, there's always something missing at the end of the day when you come home... :P

For instance, I just bought a ned rug, but lo and behold, I should have bought TWO, not ONE...

Anyway...

A small tid bit til next time, and i PROMISE, I'll try my best to write more often now...

PS. I have bought my own computer now, so I can't blame it on not having one myself
