...the weather has been insane, one day warm and sunny, t-shirt weather... the next day minus degrees and snow, then 0 degrees and rain, back to sunshine and warm, and, well, you get it... it kind of wears you down, but we should be used to it by now i guess... the tents over our windows are finally gone... yesterday was the first day in over two weeks that we had daylight in the apartment, so nice... the cd-shelves we ordered are done too, my dad picked them up today and will bring them up to stockholm in two weeks... i can not wait...
...still on the please, kill me trip... i can not stop reading it and while i am reading i am going through all the music on the stereo, dead boys, heartbreakers, ramones, richard hell, suicide, blondie, velvet underground, stooges and mc5... damn, those bands are good, but what tragic lifes they all lived, it seems like they were all struggling to die as soon as possible... crazy times...
...it is also weird to read this book and realize that even though new york city is this incredible fast changing city, places close and open everyday, and you can eat a restuarant on the monday and then when you go there on wednesday it is a laundromat, new york is still a city were some things never change... there is this story in the book about the time when dead boys drummer johnny blitz almost gets stabbed to death on a east village sidewalk... the interesting thing is that they talk about that at night after cbgb's closed all the musicians used to go to this deli the deli stop on 5th and 2nd avenue to buy candy and chips and beer and stuff and it is outside this deli that blitz gets stabbed... the thing is that when we lived in new york we used to go the same deli after drinking in the east village or going to shows at the knitting factory to buy water or candy... i also remember that it was the only place in new york where i could find the chocolat bar bounty, so i always went there and bought a bunch... pretty weird isn't it...
anyway, minnesota beat colorado last night again and things are starting to look really good...
