"Omg massiev library haul!!!"
This morning at eight o'clock sharp, a working crew arrived and started taking our bathroom apart. Out went the fixtures, the lights, the plastic coating from the walls and finally - with a noise only a power tool can create - the top layer of the concrete floor. The reason for this was that yesterday the serviceman who had come to swap our broken ( Read more... ) -

Word, sentence, paragraph, select all, delete, stare.
Repeat.
Why won't this damn post just compose itself?
To quickly sum up last week: Nothing for three days, sweet Murena, late night walk home discussing philosophy, hung over for a day, drunk again and listening to music, sweet Kozaks and public masturbation improvisational jamming for beer, ( Read more... ) -
Not quite as planned
26 is an interesting number because it is even and composed of two primes, one of which is for some reason or other considered unlucky. It is also the only number between a square number (25 = 5*5) and a cube number (27 = 3*3*3). Furthermore, it is the atomic number of iron and the number of space-time dimensions in bosonic string theory. A Rubik's ( Read more... ) -
I don't know what I'm doing wrong...
...but the nagging little voice in the back of my brain has only grown in intensity recently. After years of puzzling it out I'm still no closer to a solution. Actually, it seems to recede a little further from my grasp every day. -
I don't know what I'm doing wrong...
...but the internet connection on a borrowed laptop just slowed down to a crawl. I'm beginning to think the crappy speeds are actually a product of myself and not my surroundings. Kind of like the rainclouds kept happily following the poor trucker who actually was a god of rain in that Pratchett book. -_- -
Grooves
Last weekend was filled with delicious jams. It's amazing how much fun one can have with good friends and a car-ful of instruments. We ate well, played some, went to sauna and slept in. Or at least the other guys slept. For some reason I woke up so early on both days that I had ample time to watch a movie while laying in bed and waiting for the ( Read more... ) -
Facebookery
A while ago I gave in and created a facebook account. On the site I ran into an application called (fluff)friends. Its basic premise is that you can adopt a tamagotchi-like virtual critter that you can feed, give gifts to and race against other peoples critters. At first I was drawn in by the cute-ish graphics and adopted a french feline with a ( Read more... ) -
Patch day polka
For a minute there I thought I had a point to make here. ("Whew, for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself..." ...if that doesn't trigger weird nostalgia, I don't know what does. Maybe Crash Test Dummies ( Read more... ) -
Why won't you just work?
What a silly thing to do, relying on free software and old hardware to keep on working. I think I'm finally hitting the end-of-life mark on my laptop. It's been crashing randomly every now and then; No blue screens or anything scary like that. Just a little pop, two black screens and a couple of seconds later, the OS loading screen. Really annoying ( Read more... ) -
And now for...well, you know.
In the end getting on the uberman sleep schedule proved too daunting a task for me. I figured I didn't have enough projects that I had committed to heavily enough to keep me going and from getting bored during the 20+ hours I would have spent awake every day. Also the prospect of messing up my social schedule and giving up the freedom of going ( Read more... )
