Once In A White Moon

Summer summary

New record. Four and a half months without an update. Never mind that. I write now. That’s what counts.So, lately, I’ve been to Denmark with my orchestra, but you already know that, of course, because you’ve seen the photo updates. And I’ve been to a wonderful fireworks concert, but you know that too because of the photos. And you’ve also seen the photos from the Lord of the Rings Symphony and my teambuilding with my co-workers, so no need to talk about that either. So what’s left to talk about?I’ve bought myself a new cellphone. A shiny Nokia 6230i with a 1.3 megapixel camera, bluetooth, and a lot of other functionality I’ll never use. Yes, it even came with a phone. The final picture in […] Read more

Poisoning and bicycling

Got back from Italy last sunday, as you’ve probably already realized from the new photos in the albums. What you didn’t realize was that I was food poisoned by the pizza breakfast I had. At the checkin line at the airport I started sweating more and more, and my stomach really started to hurt. After about an hour in line in a 30 degree hall I finally got the departure hall where I ran into a toilet.

Furniture art

It hurts. My muscles hurt. Been doing way to much physical activity these last few days. I’ve changed tyres on my car (from winter to summer), my band had marching excercises and I’ve bought a couple of new shelves for my DVD-collection. I don’t usually do much of this physical stuff so now I’m paying the price. Although I finished one of the shelves on tuesday I had to dismantel it again because I had put two of the pieces upsidedown. That made all the shelves to have a nice 30 degree tilt. Totally acceptable for a piece of art, not for a piece of furniture. But I think the livingroom turned out for the better though.Tomorrow I’m actually going to the town of Bergamo […] Read more

Stressing work situation IV – Epilogue

This wednesday I finally got my last paycheck from my previous employer. Since it also included vacation money earned last year as well as this, there was a substantial amount of money deposited on my account; about $7.500,00. Seeing as I hadn’t done some serious DVD and CD shopping in quite a while I went on a small shopping spree where, well, things got a little out of hand. Let’s just say that I’m Amazon and Play.com’s new best friend. Therefore there’s going to be a lot of updates to the DVD and CD collection the next few days/weeks as the packages comes to my mailbox.
