What is up with everyone having a MySpace profile these days? Seriously. As if Blogger wasn’t bad enough. Are they missing their coloring books from preschool or what? The whole experience reminds me a little of Geocities anno 1997. Only with flash audio players instead of midi files. Sure have come a long way. Or [...]

Guess what, I don’t have any. Now there’s a real shocker. Unless something falls from the sky, I’ll spend the next two or three months doing nothing whatsoever. And I’m already climbing the walls.

Yes, indeed. Another year, another birthday. Though they grow less significant with every passing cycle. If I didn’t have people to remind me, chances are I wouldn’t even remember the occasion. I feel the obligation to write something deep and profound but I can’t seem to rally the willpower to do so. I just don’t [...]

I got a call from my ISP this evening claiming they had tracked massive amounts of email to my IP, about three weeks ago or something.

The Public service license fee collectors at Radiotjänst haven’t given up. But they didn’t manage to get me into the fold this year either. To be honest, I could just as well rip the TV tuner from the TV set because I don’t watch television anymore. Not since I really got into broadband. I just [...]

I noted that so far, 100% of the political propaganda (for the September parliamentary election) that has come my way had a covert or semi-covert neoliberal taint. The Liberal Jugend infiltrated the local university and the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise set up yet another bogus front organization to spread their libellous statements and send unsolicited [...]

It is uncomfortable to talk of oneself for sure. Yet I had an even more uncomfortable encounter two weeks ago and it still lingers somewhat. And it got me thinking. An old cliché has it that “blood is thicker than water” right, but that is something that I cannot subscribe to. Bottom line, I met [...]

Having played Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion for the better part of the last week I find it ironic that my character contracted BrainRot in some moldy cave. Is that a witty way of suggesting I’ve been at it too long?

As I way completing this morning’s exam in Political Science, my mind started wandering and as it is one of those rare occasion when you have your ID card out, I looked at the expiry date. True to form, I had forget to renew it and so it had actually expired two years ago. Though [...]

I must confess I’ve been awfully lazy this past term and so far this year. It’s a question of priorities. I figured I would actually try to take academic life seriously for a change. And having been in a comatose state for the last year or so of Social Psychology had given me a renewed [...]
