...it is not until you start building or tearing down something that you really start to miss having a car...getting material, paint, timber or anything else like that is impossible in a big city... everything is far away and non-reachable with the subway or a bus... and if you would manage to get there by yourself, you will not be able to carry anything home... right now we need 25 kg of cement and some timber... i am not going to carry that on the subway...

...heard some pretty good stuff from the new remix album from mindless self indulgance... maybe i should pick that one up...

Wild.

...in case anyone did not know, minnesota wild is now number 3 in the western conference...

Going Underground.

...sitting in the library at hornstull today with my trusted laptop working away on the book translation... it feels like i have been translating this for about 67 years now... but i guess that is the sad truth when you do it after work on your freetime, it gets sporadic... but i am doing my best...

...today it rained and was kind of sucky on my round... big houses with 8 floors and a lot of really heavy magazines... and my vest that i have the mail in broke, so i had to carry everything, which sucked and hurt my shoulder...

...still listening to the new nin, i have discovered that it is a very good album to sit and type to...

The Dust Brothers.

...so the fine dust is still everywhere, me and anna have cleaned, dusted and scrubbed everything, and when we turn around it is all there again... could drive someone crazy... we also managed to saw of the electrical cable in the wall... which means that the electrical outlets only works on two placesin the apartment now... which means that everything in the apartment is hooked up to these through connection after connection... probably not very safe, or smart, but necessary... but sadly this also means that we need to hire a electrician for another pile of cash that we do not have... the word money trap comes to mind now when i think of home improvement... but i guess that is life and will give us tons of grown-up points...

not listening to anything right now, but i am watching a show on travel channel about wine making in spain... yeah, i could live there...

BERLIN.

...the wall is down... the whole place is covered in a fine, fine layer of dust... everything... no, really, everything... money is flowing... we are coughing... but it lookes great... still, a lot of work left... need to get started again...

did i say that it was raining?

What is sleep?

...roland landed today, together with a big bag of tools... d-day is set for saturday and we will the tear down our wall... should be interesting...

...the big theme right now is otherwise that i am so bloody tired... i have been sleeping badly the whole week and have a hard time staying awake past 21.00... which is slightly sad...

...discovered yesterday that the singer in one of my favorite bands, girls against boys, will releases a soloalbum in march... i have been spending most of the afternoon listeing to some songs on myspace and it sounds great... he calls himself paramount styles... and the album failure american style... check it out, it is really good!

...well, the camping translation is now done and delivered, so i celebrated with a beer, oppigårds ale...

cheers!

Tired.

...so on saturday our wall between the kitchen and the livingroom will come down... it will present us with some minor problems, but i think that all in all it will be great... the apartment will get a lot more air and space and, maybe most important of all, i can see the tv from the kitchen... which means that i will not have to run back and fourth between NHL on the tv and the cooking on the stove... now if we could only win some money so that we can buy that new stove... it is proved to be hard to cook without a oven...

...the new nick cave is still really good, so is the new NIN... i really like what trent is doing with downloading and hope that others will follow... i also really like the approach with the new album, really great music to translate to...

...and talking about translating, right now i am struggling with a camping thingie that needs to be finished on thursday night... halfway there...

listens to: postpunk chronicles scared to dance

Bored?

...if you would ever feel down, depressed or just simply bored...

...i promise it is worth clicking on...

Back In Black.

... so after a few days off, while dave was here, i am not back at work... i must say it was hard getting up at 4.44 this morning, i felt and probably looked like a zombie... it takes me almost 3 stations on the subway before i am fully awake, and then i have allready had a cup of tea before leaving the apartment... i do not think humans are made for these hours... and people who think that are actually lying... and that is a fact...

...saw a danish band called printer at debaser the other night... sounded kind of like a mix of old-school new order and underworld... really good... i bought the cd and is listening to it now... you should check it out... nice cover too...

... is it only me or is the press only publishing photos of hillary where she looks like either hitler or satan? ...all photos of obama are really nice and positive...

...well, i do not have time for this now... i have a camping pamflet to translate and a book that still is not done... gotta work...

up the irons.

Kent.

...so dave left today, and i will try and really start to write on this page, it seems like i chose a weird time to start this thing...
...two nights ago we went to västerås and saw kent and as usual they were absolutely amazing, great show, with great light and sound... it was also fun to see them outside of stockholm, with a crowd who was not to cool to applaud or dance and even sing along... i guess there is a reason why no bands ever claims that the best show on the tour was in new york, london or stockholm... small towns just rocks a little bit harder...

...but now the apartment is empty and me and anna are alone again, my guess is that we will spend the day in the sofa in front of the tv, some movies, some hockey and a couple of episodes of entourage, maybe even flight of the concords...

...anyway, until the next time...
