...so Elsa is staying with us right now... and let me just say this, there is nothing that will make you feel older than going up at 4.45 and having a 21 year old in the apartment that went to bed an hour before you got up...
...other than that the translation is going steadily forward, 70 pages to go and then summer... can not wait... me and anna are going to glasgow to see my bloody valentine and then from there to london to visit billy, susan, pepper and astro... and when we come home from that we are going to stay in a cabin on the swedish westcoast, way out on an island... lets just cross our fingers for nice weather...
...have fallen into a pretty deep butthole surfers pit right now... been spending my mailrounds going through their discography... again... what a brilliant band... and what a uneven band... their highs are so high and their lows are just so low... how can someone produce so much crap when they are that good....

Driven like the snow.
...so for som reason it is raining, last week pure summer, today... fall?
...today it is the semifinal and of course we are meeting canada, so we are pretty much out... but i have faith and i think with the wind in our backs, downhill, sun facing our opponents and maybe with some helt from the audience, referee and bad skates for the canadians we can win... i have even put some money on it, i bet that sweden would win 4-3... but we'll see, maybe i should have just flushed the money down the toilet...
...for some reason i am pretty much only listening to the sisters of mercy and judas preist right now.... that can not be a sign of full health... i need to look into this...

Hockey.
...so the world cup is on and that is about all that i do... sweden started out pretty damn crappy, played a bad game against belarus and them a worse one against switzerland... and i had almost given up hope on this team... when we play russia, and man that was a good game... probably one of the best i have seen, and if not the best, then at least the most fun... great hockey... well, now we are in quarterfinal against the czechs and that we should win since we easily have the best goalie, but i have noticed that life is not always like that... so we will see...

Last Exit Brooklyn.
...well, that only took a year and a half to write again... and the worst part is that i do not even have a good excuse, i just have not gotten around to it... we have had full summer here and the weather has been absolutely great... so a blog kind of fell from my priorities... sadly...
...but the good news is that trent reznor showed the world once again how you treat fans, how music does not have to be put on a shelf for a year so that the record companies can spend millions on finding a strategy to try and sell it... trent recorded a new album and right away put it out for download... for free... no year on the shelf, no record company at all... and no cost... just a thanks to all the fans for our support...
...the translation is moving forward, and yes, as you probably have allready guessed, i am translating right now... that is why i am here...
...i had a pretty weird weekend were i sat at home the whole time tricking myself that i was translating... but when i afterwards looked at how much i had done is was not nearly enough... but i think all of us do that once in a while, we trick ourself into thinking that we are working harder than we are...
...new MUDHONEY out!!! woo-hoo!! so everybody run out and buy it... they recorded and mixed it in three days... suck on that Axl!! does anyone belive that he will ever release a new album? hands up anyone?

Songs From The Year Of Our Demise
...day off today, and i was supposed to translate the whole day... well, it went so-so... i translated most of the day, but my translating skills were numb and not so good... things went slow and i had to struggle... so, yeah, i worked hard but have almost nothing to show for it... but i guess that happens some days... now i will try on saturday and sunday too, and hopefully i will be better then...
1st of may today, and man, where did that spring go... it just flew by and i wonder what happened with all the time i had... things go way to fast and i want them to slow down...
re-reading the fuck-up, great book... arthur nersesian has a great flow and wonderful pace in his books, and a very attractive absurdism that i like... went and saw girls agianst boys at the bowery ballroom in new york once, it was one of those years when i saw them four times, and before the show i talked to the bassist julian temple in the bar and he introduced me to arthur, which i had read a lot of by then... and he was this really quiet and shy guy who stood in a corner with a beer just observing... i have no idea what i am trying to say here... maybe it is just the fact that you very rarely meet a author you are actually reading and likes... anyway to stray even more from the subject and make less sense... bowery ballroom was maybe halffull that night, but bono was hanging in the bar drinking guiness and i was really surprised seeing him there and at that specific show... girls against boys were definitely not hip then, and not a show that people went to to be seen at... anyway, i did not talk to him...
but back to reality... what i really wanted to say was that i think i actually appreciate the fuck-up more this time and wish i could write half as good and with as much humour as arthur... but then again if i wrote an eighth as well as bret easton ellis or norman mailer i would not be sitting here blogging would i...
over and out.
