I’ve been looking for a new piece of media furniture the past two weeks or so. I’ve been to a couple of stores and looked at 30+ websites trying to find something that is both good looking and has a smart design. It bloody impossible to find one!
The good looking ones are so poorly designed it’s hard to belive that the designer knew what a TV, DVD, Xbox etc is and the ones that acctually seem to have some kind of thought behind them look like a piece of s**t.
I’ve come very close to drawing one myself and have someone do it for me.

It seems I am allergic to cats after all. I remember feeling some of the symptoms with my moms cat before I moved away from home. I only felt them for the last few years and I lived with the cat for more than 10 years so I didn’t think mcuh of it and forgot about it but now that we have cats on our own it has got worse. We will most likely try to find a new home for them during the next few days or weeks

I recently bought a Wake Up Light and I’ve been trying it out for the past couple of days. So far I am very pleased with it. Instead of having an alarm shock me every morninig I gently wake up sometime during the 30 minute wake up process. This has caused me to wake up earlier in the morning but with a lot more energy. I really recommend it if you have trouble getting out of bed in the morning.

I’m still alive and I didn’t break any bones
We have had a great copuple of days. It started on thursday with a 6 hour bus ride on which we had a few beers. When we got to the cabins we had some more beer and sandwiches before we called it a night.
The cabins were great. We had two of them, each built for 24 persons. Since we were only 28 that acctually made it to Sälen there was a lot of extra space. We had two kitchens and two saunas in each cabin and pretty much all the latest technology you could imagene except for computers.
We got up early on friday morning, we had a big day ahead of us. We hit the slopes at around 9 am and was out until 2pm. At 3pm we met up again in the cabins and made our ay to the Scooter Safari. With two men on every scooter we started towards the Ice Carts.
It was my first time on a scooter and it was more fun that expected. And more work too. We maxed at about 70km/h and got close to tipping over on several occasions but the best part was yet to come; after about one hour on the scooters we finally made it to the Ice Carts.
Ice Cart is just like go cart only you drive on ice which means that you will slide through the corners. This was one of the most fun things I’ve ever done in my life. We starteed out with a few practice runs before the competition began. There were three qualifying heats per person in which you gathered points. I didn’t do that well during the quelifiers though.
First race gave me a fourth place after being pushed out in the first corner. The second race was a catasrophy for me. Not only did I get a really bad start but I also spun around not only once but twice leaving me battling for 9th place in the final corner. I lost the battle and ended up 10th and last. The last qualifier went very much like the first race. I had a really bad start but worked my way up from 9th to 5th place after pushing the cart to the max.
After these three heats I thought my racing days were over but I got a second chance. 16 players qualified to an extra heat where the 1st and 2nd in each heat (there were two heats) would go to the final. I got an excellent start in my heat and during the first lap I did everything right. After the first löap my lead was almost 1/5 of the course so I decided to take it easy not to risk anything. My lead held up all to the way to the finish line and I was in the final!
We were 8 combantants in the final round. I had a decent start and came out from the first curve in 2nd place but from there it was all downhill for me. I didn’t drive poorly but my cart didn’t get up the necessary speed so I couldn’t do much as the others went past me one by one. I finally came in on 5th place and I nust say that I was still satisfied with my results considering I have never driven a car or a go cart before.
After the Ice cart we got back on the scooters and drove up in the mountains where we had “Fjälltapas” for dinner. Then it was back to the cabins on a scooter sled for more beer, party and poker all night long.
On saturday a bunch of us stayed in pretty much all day and at 7pm pizza was delivered to the door. We played a poker freerool in the evening, I ended in 7th place after about 1½ hour, the blind levels where very steep so it was more about moving in than sitting patient waiting for cards. When all beer was out around midnight we went to a nightclub and that concluded the weekend. The next morning we got up and jumped on the bus home again.

I’ve been at work now for two days and I’ve acctually been doing something useful with my time. It feels good
My entire department (almost, 31 out of 40) are going to Sälen today over the weekend for some skiing, Ice Go Cart and Scooter rides. I think it’ll be a lot of fun and I promise to report back when I get home again next week

What have I been up to for the past week? The first week back from vacation, Australia and all that. I’ll give you the short version (which probably is the same as the long version) of what I’ve done so far.
I spent thursday at home just relaxing all day trying to regain some strength after the long flight. On friday I went to see a doctor because my right ear began to hurt. It turned out that I’ve gotten an ear infection and I was prescribed some anitbiotica and ate painkillers.
Saturdays party was fun, not as much people as I had hoped though. Woke up on sunday, a tad hung over, the ear feeling better. Didn’t do much during the day. IN the evening I went to my mothers and had dinner.
Monday, first day of work. It was good to see everybody again but since I had nothing to do the day was very boring.
On Tuesday I caught a cold. I went to work or about 3 hours before I went home again. I’ve been home since then and yesterday it felt like the cold was letting go just for my ear to start hurting again… Right now I’m just about to go back to see the doctor again.
You gotta love being home…
