Poem to a Cat

I thefted a Cat

He didn't know where he was at

Also, he wasn't wearing a hat

What kind of a Cat is that?

Bring on the Song

Susan Enan rocks. Well, I suppose "rock" is not the best descriptor of her music, but still... In any case, with a little luck and some help from you guys I might be able to get her to come to Uppsala and play a house concert. Yes, you heard me. She would be playing unplugged in my living room. For this to happen I need to be able to bring about 20 people who are willing to donate a mere 10 euro to her, that's how she finances her house concert tour. So go check her music out and ask around. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I would be so sad to miss it because I don't have enough friends.

Ps. My favourite songs are Bird and Bring on the Wonder Ds.

Christopher Lee

Just to further prove that there is nothing he hasn't played, I just found out that he plays Kato in Mio, min Mio... Which, btw, was a co-production of Sweden, Norway and the Soviet Union

Top Gear

"I don't mind if cyclists wanna come on the road with their silly Victorian distractions - I'm not bothered ok - but they must behave themselves."

"Old Chap" is the cutest euphemism for penis I have ever heard.

Best TV show ever

So I've been watching Så mycket bättre and I have to say that it's the best TV show I've seen in... I've never seen anything better.
So far the best episode was number 3, where everyone did Petter's songs. Obviously the scale is different, but it's like watching Tina Turner, Rihanna, Bruce Springsteen and I dunno, George Michael making covers of Jay-Z's songs. Strange, unexpected and very, very good!

Home

There is something infinitely charming about small local newspapers. Todays front side headline reads something like:
Something good might happen in Nowhereville soon.
It brings you down to earth and reminds you that life is, for the most part, just as boring as yours is right now. Somehow reassuring, and a bit of a universal ego-boost. Somewhere in the world there is always someone who will be impressed by your achievements.

While riding the train towards my ancient home I looked at my jacket sleeve and for the first time reflected over the words that were printed there "exodus 5,000" O.o What an odd thing to put on a winter jacket, I thought. I instantly texted several of my friends, who helpfully commented that "at least it's not a bible verse" and "it is obviously an encouragement to emigrate to warmer lands". The brand of the jacket in question is McKINLEY, named after the highest mountain in north america and they also use the outline of the mountain as their logo. Apart from being the highest mountain in north america, it is also famous for its extremely cold weather, even by Alaskan standards. The natives aptly named the mountain Denali (the big one) but some dude renamed it Mount McKinley in support of a US President candidate...

Obviously nothing of this tells me anything about why they decided to reference biblical history. Considering the current weather, -20° and 80% humidity (a.i. Cold as Hell), I am inclined to agree with Rik's interpretation: "If you have to wear this to go outside it is too damn cold and you should emigrate to someplace warmer."
