vi (<--kunglig pluralis) testar på engelska en gång.
we (<--majestic plural) will try english this time.
lund has been ridiculously hot this summer. it's been one hot day after another hot day, and then 15 straight hot days after that. then repeat the above scenario. now, i generally don't have a problem with hot days, when i was in japan i biked 25 minutes to school in 35-40 degrees every day and when i go to australia this fall, i expect X-TREME heat&sunshine. but, they're not supposed to be this hot and this plentiful in this part of the world. it makes me worry about, for example, the people in southern europe. if we have 35 degrees here, how hot must it not be for them! sunstroke's gotta be all over the place. next heat issue, when i complain about the heat and wish for rain at work, it's apparently an extremely provocative statement. the people at work are constantly talking about the weather and how it's going to get worse by the weekend and how that makes the weekend totally worthless and i just can't comprehend it. how can weather be so important to people? "oh no, the sun was all over the place when i was working but when i had two weeks of holiday it was mostly behind those clouds and so everything totally sucked." and people keep complaining that there's nothing to do if there's no sun. i wonder what they do the other nine months of the year when the season is non-summer. i mean seriously, if you're that dependent for sunshine to be happy with your life, maybe you should consider getting a hobby that can be done indoors. initial suggestions: reading, playing table hockey (which is good because it can be done both in- and outdoors! the ultimate sport! surely no other sport can do this!), ordering cookbooks over the internet. fun for the whole family!
i concede that sunshine makes you happier and more likely to do things and i do like sunshine when i'm biking home from work, because then it feels like there's still a lot of day left to do things with, but i really miss the rain from vancouver. rain 170 days a year, it's like heaven for me. and i can't believe so few other people like it. rain gets so much undeserved bashing. give me rain day in and day out, any day.
over and out. or not yet. i have to recap the funniest moment of the week, which was from a futurama episode, "spanish fry". in it, a scene from the robot soap opera "all my circuits" with the main protagonist, calculon, is shown. it is him screaming "nooooooooo!" in a garden, and next to him is a pirate grilling some hamburgers on a barbecue. the pirate does not say anything or interact with calculon in any way. that, my friends, is humor at the highest level.

right now, i find the sun mainly to cause problems. too hot made me try to make the fridge too cold. and this i why i now am eating frozen yoghurt which ought not to be frozen at all.
hoppas livet är med dig. det är det med mig, men jag tror att jag borde hänga med dig nån dag för att inte hämma min fortsatta personliga utveckling.
Ah, but in the future, you'll be able to order cookbooks from your mobile phone, making that the perfect companion to table hockey, and the second sport ever to be practiced both indoors and outdoors. Possible olympic event? The indoor-table-hockey -outdoor- cookbook-ordering-biathlon.
Come on, if going around on skis and shooting at stuff can make it, surely this will be have no problem gaining acceptance?
Incidentally, the "rainy season" here just ended. I kinda liked it. Excepting a pretty grave strategic error in the choice of footwear I brought with me, which, try as I might, I can't really blame the weather for. It's about to get rediculously hot, however. I must go prepare now.
Whats up with the dates and times for travel, though? I'm hoping for a detailed itinerary next post.
em: vi provar med helgen. kanske på söndag? det vore himla bra. livet är just nu extremt frustrerande pga tandläkare och försäkringsbolag som har semester och inte vill berätta när de kan fixa min tandprotes...extremt frustrerande är bara förnamnet.
kumadudester: i shall have to find myself one of those high-techian cell-phones of which you speak so fondly. my phone is moderately low-techian and not working very well at all. how else am i going to be prepared for the indoor-table-hockeey-outdoor-coobook-ordering-biathlon? it surely is the sport of the future.
as for travel itineraries, there is currently a booked ticket with departure on sept 19th, but for extremely frustrating reasons briefly discussed in that obscure northern european language we call swedish, i'm not sure i'll actually buy that ticket.
i just have to point out here that where i live, we used to be able to order drinks from coke machines by calling them from our mobile phones. i'm not sure why they stopped it, but it can't be done anymore. i haven't lost any sleep over it yet :)
now that's capitalism serving the needs of consumers in its purest form.
