Rock now, Rock the night!
Tonight Camilla and I, and a few of our friends, are going to the premier gig of Zombiekrig. It, the gig, also doubles as a release-party for there EP.
If in Gotheburg tonight I urge you to check them out. Thrash-metal in Swedish. They’ll be playing at Sticky Fingers.
GOT-TXL.
The man who does not like to travel.
The man wo wrote ‘Travel as I wait’.
(Yes, I am talking about myself in third person singular.)
That man, the one mentioned above, me, has booked yet another trip. Another trip with my dear Camilla.
We have booked a trip, a midweeker (and if that isn’t a word, it is now and it means a couple of days long trip in the middle of the week…) to Berlin. We are not going until November but we booked it in good time to get a good price.
So, why are we going? Well, in November Camilla and I celebrate our fifth anniversary so we thought we’d give ourselves a little gift, a little treat.
So it’s off to Berlin… in November. Any tips on what not to miss? Mail me.
Theoretical Philosophy: I’m in!
I’m in! Ok it was only a technicality. There are very few applying to the education/subject I am going to take and my grades; or more the test result I use in my application, by which I am judged and rated, are/is pretty good.
So. What am I going to study?
Well, after three semesters of Practical Philosophy I will embark on a journey of Theoretical Philosophy (call me unimaginative) for another three semesters, then well see.
But, what’s the difference:
“Theoretical Philosophy focuses on what the world is like and on how we can know and say something about it, while Practical Philosophy addresses the question of how the world should be; that is questions about norms, values, and ideologies.”

Is someone trying to tell me something?
So, last night. Camilla and I, minding our business, watching the TV.
This morning, Camilla at work but I’m minding my business, or at least trying to, trying to watch TV. Black.
Turns out our digital cable TV receiver (a box sitting under the TV set) is broken. Just talked to the company delivering both hard-wear, software and service. They will send me a package, with postage, in which I will lay my receiver, send it away and then probably get it back fixed within a week of sending it… that’s 10 days without cable, at least!
What do you mean without cable? Do you mean you still have other channels to watch?
Yes.
Well then, what’s the problem?
Well, the problem is this: We once had a remote to our TV set. Then we bought a dog. Then that dog decided to change his teeth from puppy teeth to full grown menacing beast teeth. That itched. So he bit on stuff. Then one day, sitting in front of the computer, minding my business, I hear him chewing on something in the other room. I had just given him a piece of dog candy so I did not think much of it. Still, after a while I thought… damn that’s a hard piece of dog candy. I hope he does not hurt himself. So, I walked out to make sure he did not hurt himself only to find him chewing a way on a remote. Happy as pie.
He killed the remote.
So, we do not have a remote to our TV set. We have one for the digital cable TV receiver… so now, the next ten days or so, we have to haul our asses out of the sofa and change on the set, old school style. I’m not a fan of old school style.
I know this is a luxury problem but none the less; a problem! But like Camilla says. This might give us time to start studying.
Crap.
My music in a skate vid… sort of.
20 track album…?
At the studio with KG today… at his studio.. with him in it… doing the recording and stuff. We recorded nine tracks of guitar and vocals. Nine demo-tracks (without the real lyrics, as there are none yet). I will sent out the tracks to the other members of my band so they can rehears a bit on there own. It also, during this recording, dawned on me just how many tracks I have for this album. There must be near twenty tracks. I’ll see what I’ll do about that. Can’t have a twenty track album…
Rennet-free cheese please!
Good day, and welcome to another day of nothing.
When Camilla came home from work she asked me what I had done today. I summarized: Woke up, walked the dog, had breakfast, had coffee, worked out, showered, had lunch, walked the dog. We’ve also after this, after she got home, walked down to the local mega-store and bought some cheese. Rennet free… because you all know where the rennet comes from right? (You Swedes can read, and be disgusted, here.) So that’s why we go to that store, to get the rennet free cheese (that does not taste like a block of salt).
That’s it for today. Tomorrow I am going to record (I hope) and no, I did not really get around to the Bachelors Thesis thing but I will tomorrow, promise (mostly to myself though).
Tired as fruit and looking onwards.
Tired as a banana right now. Worked a 11h shift yesterday, then off to Liseberg, then to bed way too late then another 11h shift today. I’m beat like an old drum. That doesn’t really matter though, because there’s not much going on with the thing that needs to be on going. Nothing for me to write about really.
Tomorrow, however, I am going to do two major things:
- Start working on my bachelors thesis again.
I have some fine tuning; tidying up, fixy things to do with it before I hand it in on August the 10:th. - Rehears a little.
On Tuesday afternoon and evening I am going to KG to record and I need to know the songs I am recording (even if the recordings are for internal, as in the band, use).
…
The weather is excruciating. I know it’s like swearing in church to wish the sun away, in Sweden (or in the northern parts of Europe) more than in other places I would imagin (since the summers here are short). I, however, stand by the lead in sentence. Please, let there be a cold wind, a cloud, perhaps some drops of rain.. I can’t take it anymore.
That on that.
On Tuesday I will (I hope) go to KG’s place and record the songs for the next album. I will record acoustic guitar and vocals only versions. I will do this because my fellow musicians; the guys in the band, are a really busy group of guys. Finding time when all of us can rehears together is near impossible. So, the will get the songs so they can practice and think at home.
I will not present any of the songs here, nor anywhere… ever. Why? Well I only have the lyrics for one song finished so I’m guessing there will be a lot of I love you’s and time… for some reason I always seem to get the word time in, several times, when I am singing a melody which has no lyrics (and not wanting to hum).
Tomorrow ans Sunday I will work. I will, however, cram in a visit to Liseberg tomorrow night.
‘Til then…
B-A-N-A-N-A-S (almost).
This could have been the day when I went bananas. This could have been the day when I freaked the fuck out. And I know, in saying that I am somehow implying that I one day will freak out, or go bananas, and that I somehow know this. That is, naturally, not the case. I do not know that I one day will freak out, all though it is a possibility, for me, for everybody.
So. Why today? Well… the heat. It just won’t back off. And it need to back off. It need to back off now! I am not a heat person.
Will it back off? No! Checked the weather. Sun until Sunday, which is fitting, I guess…
Until tomorrow. If i don’t break something… and that something is the computer.
