these are crazy days but they make me shine.

been feeling weird lately, and when my head is weird it ends up effecting my behaviour as well; i went to a hardware store to day and ended up buying a wing nut and a bolt, they fit and that makes me feel safe, sometimes i just needs to experience that the world works and that's when i instead of doing something dramatic, i buy a 2,- kroner wing nut and a 3,- kroner bolt and put them together and they fit, OK i do agree that one can work out various analyses about this specially due to the shape of both the wing nut and the bolt, and the Norwegian word for wing nut is mutter which is slang for mother... i´ll stop now.

... and continue with telling you about a concert i went to with Herr K and Miss A, (soon to be Mrs K?), it was Farmers Marked and Kork (the Norwegian broadcasting orchestra) and it was just amazing, Farmers Marked are known for their Balkan speed boogie,and their humour; with song titles like "Les Paul more John" and labeling their music; Country and eastern, so we were up for a good time in so many ways, the concert will be sent on nrk during the spring i hope.

more "hardware" store shopping; bought Sepultura Chaos A.D. today, don´t know if that's a good sign? Why do i buy records that i got on CD, and why do i buy music that i know all to well? It´s a good record that's for sure and i will listen to it a lot. But what does it do to me? hmmm, is it all to feel safe, coz really i have nothing to fear, i have a job, and friends etc. etc. well i will stop bothering you with this now, and if i have bored you, i can at least say that i posted a nice photo from the Farmers Marked gig.

Herr W the collector, part 3

I collect tableware as you know. And i´m a heavy reader as well, do they mix?

Yes.

Arabias Moomin collection is a good example. Tove jansons original moomin illustrations have been embraced by Finnish tableware company Arabia for some years now issuing new models every year.

The Finnish author Tove Janson is one of my favorite authors, her books are disguised as children's books but houses far bigger issues than one would expect to find in children's books.




Here the latest contribution to the family together with my psynt.

Have a nice weekend everybody,

yours,

Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens



Oh yeah,
i got a new job, and that after just one interview, that is just too good to be anything, its an after school club where i´ll be helping out with homework, making dinner and whatever comes in to my mind. and the hours ladies and gentlemen; 12-17 Monday to Friday.

What really trills me with this strong routine that this job with these hours will bring in to my life is that they will provide me with a framework that will help me start a new and better life;
1) wake up 8ish, get the paper at the door, eat a better breakfast with coffee.
2) write, check mail, listen to music/have more coffee with good friends out.
3) walk to work, yes you heard me right, i can walk there, and that will provide me with long sought after exercise. this walk also leads me through slottsparken, as you can see from the map.
4) work.
5) walk home pick up the paper at the door.
6) eat dinner, read the evening edition of the paper.
7) be creative in one or another way.
8) meet friends, or relax home planing what to do in the weekend, coz then i´m off work.

and all the 8 things listed above are of my favorite things.
