Having to go to work sucks
I wonder how I ended up with 212 songs in my “never listened” list
ventilation system has developed an annoying whine
On the airport bus to Stockholm. Viking packed off for a week at his grandparents. Feels strange
Man this bus is uncomfortably warm
Contributing to the current Twitter overcapacity problem by twittering about it. Meta-fail
The music I like the most is more than 20 years old, or might as well be
I wonder if the fly travelling with me on the bus is a harbinger of a global pandemic. That would kinda suck
Stuck at Haga in a traffic queue. This never happens with the train
I BLAME VISTA
planning a plane trip tomorrow, Viking’s first!
Lovely sunny day, not too hot either
sigh password change time again
Oh IM, where art thou?
In queue for a double kabanoss from Günthers
Finally got to order, 2 helpings of the hot sauce, strong mustard und saurkraut!
I find it “amusing” that Outlook hangs while searching through mails. That is, if “amusing” is a synonym to “bollocks” in your language
what a semi! great play by Turkey by the Germans won in the end. Here’s hoping Russia will win tomorrow!
still no IM, I feel like someone waiting for Godot (or rather, the Giro)
O Canon repair person, where are thou?
now the Swedish anti-piracy group thinks the French 3-strikes law against filesharers is “basically good”
fucking Swedish anti-piracy group makes me pretty mad
ever since 1789, no good political innovation has come out of France…
Eating dinner in Nyköping after scoping out apartments
Returning the car, doesn’t look as if we used quite as much petrol this time
alone at the support desk for 2 weeks, not looking forward to it

Windows Live Messenger - what a total waste of scree real estate it is
you know what they say about Mondays? IT’S ALL TRUE
everyone complains about Twitter, but no-one does anything about it
time to head home
suspecting Alastair Reynold’s “House of Suns” is a previously refused work now published to take advantage of his current status
Spain-France is on, least interesting of the quarterfinals if you ask me
wicked stink of polyvinyl chloride from the giant inflatable hand Viking got in his Maxbox
penalties are cheesy but great TV
talking to the taxman, but not about poetry
I’ve just re-enabled TwitterSync on Facebook, this is a test of the functionality
hmm TwitterSync can’t update my Facebook status, reverting to the “official” Twitter FB app
Viking: “Why do they have goalies? It’s too hard with them!”
how the f*ck did I end up with 120 “friends” on Facebook?
Go Russia!
Viking’s room is the messiest ever
sniggering at outdated ads still celebrating the Swedish team
what an amazing goal!
RUSSIA!
ok I’m betting Russia - Turkey in the final. This is football as it should be!
ouch toothache :(
Getting ready to head in the subrosa breakfast

I have officially joined the ranks of Windows Vista haters. What a fucking load of stinking faeces this is

against my better judgement, I’m trying Vista again
