They always say

that the first one is special - and as a matter of fact, that's how I feel. I really miss my first car. Unfortunately it was adopted by some people who didn't love it as much as I did and now it has wandered (i.e. pushed or towed) to a better place.
I would now like to read an awesome poem to you dear Lana.


Dear Lana

I remember the first time I sat down in your seat,
half chamois leather, half fabric and a button to adjust the heat.
Of course I didn't need that in the summertime,
which brings me to the next line, where I have nothing to make it rhyme.
Rear-wheel drive, turbo, and roof-hatch,
telling myself, dude, you've made a real catch.
Of course the winter season begged to differ,
rear planted in a snowdrift, friends are bitter.
So I sold you to a friend of mine, of various reasons,
fuelconsumption, mileage and winter seasons,
regret it to the day I die,
until we meet again,
Bye Bye.

Lana





Since I wrote a poem for Lana it would be rude of me to leave out my second car.
So here my second awesome poem goes.


Dear Lois


You, as Lana, are names from Smallville and Clark Kent,
whom I identified with, before I started to pay rent.
When that day came, I had to give you up,
so I could pay for soup, to go in my cup.
After Lana I thought you were my dream car,
but with time I realized, you were nothing but far -
from it,
that's why I'm so glad I sold you,
piece of shit!

Lois




I want a new car...

Borrowing Time

Aimee Mann is an artist which a friend recommended for me, in addition to the movie Magnolia. Aimee Mann which also has the soundtrack for this movie, have made a song, in which I especially like the bridge...

23

So,

23. Michael Jordan's jersey.
23. A number Manchester City
haven't used on a jersey since 2003.
23. The number of seconds which the blood takes to flow through the body.
23. Number of letters in the Latin alphabet.
23. Date of birth
and death of William Shakespeare.
23. The number of times Julius Caesar was stabbed when he was assassinated.
23. The age of a man who has realized that he is halfway to 46 (yes, I know, my mathematical skills are overwhelming!).

No siesta, fiesta!

So, in the end of february I heard some noise (or as we say in norwegian.. "Æ hørte nå helvetes spetakkel") outside my window. It turned out to be a run-up for the latin festival in Tromsø, called No Siesta, Fiesta! I have not participated in it yet, but people have praised it and I guess it is a fine cultural happening.

The picture illustrates a more dedicated person (than the one writing this text) who might be able to document the festival in a more thorough fashion.

Cuadrado


I love...

...Riksgränsen! (http://riksgransen.se)


10 friends
A snowboard
A lot of feathery snow
Sunshine and a clear sky
A little bit of alcohol
Spa-facilities
Cheap swedish food
Newly renovated appartments (i.e. crap-ass-shitty appartments)

And there you go, the recipe on one
amazing weekend across the border.
God bless Sweden!
