There was a time when I updated this place almost every day and didn’t care about what I wrote or who read it, but alot of things have happened in the past 4 weeks that doesn’t really belong here. But things are going on, some of it really, really good and some of it pretty bad. I’ll be happy if we can land on “ok” in time for Christmas 🙂
So you know I’m a member of a really, really old gaming guild in sweden called “Soul Crushers”? We’ve been active since the quake days, going through other games, new members, old members disappearing but the “Soul Crusher” motto of always having fun still lives on! One of them is an “underground” bar in the center of stockholm that we’ve hung out at. And tonigh is the last night there ’cause after that they’re closing the doors. So bittersweet when that happens… But any excuse for a party 🙂
For the past 2 weeks all the papers in sweden has been all about the environmental problems we’re having. As if it’s something new. Hasn’t that always been an issue for the past 30 years or so? All I can say is that I’m happy I haven’t put a child to this world. I’d have to apologize the him/her for screwing up the planet. But then again, I think I’ve done my part. I commute to work by train, my apartment is always cold (ask my friends) and dark and I voted for the treehuggers. And I’m donating money to Greenpeace. But still they make us feel guilty. I miss being a kid when you didn’t have to feel bad for things like this.
So after a week of hearing experts (and Greenpeace) coming up with doomsday scenarios of the global warming the meterologists here told everyone to change to winter tyres because there was a bit of bad weather headed our way. The said that during the weekend. And yesterday (wednesday) a snowstorm hit like a ton of bricks! Chaos everywhere, trains, planes, highways. And guess where I was? I was feeling terrrible and had a fever so I never even got out of bed which turned out to be the total right choice since I hear it took some people hours to get home yesterday! So not only do people forget that we get snow every year in sweden, they don’t care when the weatherman warns about it 3 days before it hits.
