I never go to the cinema anymore (for lots of reasons) but I buy quite a few DVDs, which I rarely have time to actually watch. This is why I’ve planned to have my own film festival for one, during my vacation […]

Friends with kids informs me that this Laleh song is beginning to compete with the usual classics for the end of school celebrations:

My favourite moments are when a Sim suddenly shouts “Tjena!” Doesn’t happen often, but always makes me grin when it does. 😀

The seasons have the same names, but the holidays are called things like Love Day, Harvest Fest (featuring lots of gnomes) and Winterfest (you know; when Father Winter comes with gifts).
Here’s a summer classic […]

I got the joke…I was making one myself but I guess you’re not a Sims player; the term “WooHoo” in the Sims games means having sex… 🙂

As a Sims 4 player, your shout of WooHoo in the title seems inappropriate in combination with talk about children leaving school etc. Making babies, yes. 😀
Here’s a song in Simlish for you:

Yes, it certainly could have been a lot worse!
But now I’m absolutely knocked out tired, fell asleep through an episode of TV that I tried to watch (need to see it again tomorrow…) Time for bed! 🙂

Not exactly a typical Friday…got up four hours earlier than usual and took the bus to work, where me and my colleagues jumped into two cars and drove to the place where our boss keeps his flashy motorboat. We […]

I suppose it depends really…technically the very first gig I saw (free gigs in parks not counted – there were lots of those in the 70s…all more or less bad) I sort of paid for, but not intentionally.
I went […]

Olof Palme. Anna Lindh. Two good politicians murdered long before their time was up.
And my friend Therese who died completely unexpectedly, on the dancefloor, leaving her young son to grow up without a mother.

@duco01 – of course not…I never see these things until it’s too late! So thank you for the heads-up.
What usually happens is that I’ll subscribe to several mailing-lists and then get lots of emails about […]

A similar thing happened in my area a month ago or so, despite the production company having gotten the permits to film scenes for a crime series, with fake guns; all the relevant information given to the police. […]

This far 2019 is so much better than last year, which was a fairly big disappointment really. This year’s “OK” albums are better than most of the best albums from 2018, IMO.
These are my favourites so far (in no […]

One of my first and biggest musical heroes, and he was really good! Small sweaty club gig and I was just in front of the low stage. If I’m as vital and energetic in my 70s as he was, that beats winning the lottery!

I live at the quiet end of a dead-end street in central Stockholm, and it’s been regularly used for filming (mostly television it seems). Notes asking for flats to borrow for location shoots are often stuck to the […]

Well, at least you knew he was coming here – I rarely know before I read the (usually glowing) review in the paper the next day, which is even more frustrating!

Another busy month, just have to get through this week and then I have a couple of weeks vacation when I hope to catch up (with everything in general!)

An interesting book by a Swedish journalist called […]

I turned down quite a few promotions and job offers in high positions when I was young, some because I knew I wasn’t qualified for them (and I hate not feeling confident in what I’m doing), some because I knew I […]

I have lots of these: Middle Eastern music from a compilation I own is playing in my head anytime I read or think about the Sherlock Holmes stories/vice versa, Pet Sematary is forever linked to FGTH’s Welcome to […]

Oh – just remembered the Duran Duran stadium gig my best friend made me go to in the 80s because she wouldn’t go on her own…I was not a fan but went along anyway and just as we got to the arena she started to […]
