Bip and click

I thought I'd say a few words about music today.

I have 0 mp3-files on my computer. Wait, that's not entirely correct, let me rephrase. I have very few mp3-files on my computer that I ever listen to. I am since a while ago entirely devoted to webradio. Free, fast and you never really know what you're gonna get. The sites I use are Kohina, glorious bitpop and oldschool music; Digitally Imported, all kinds of electronic music, dance, chill or otherwise, something for everyone, and finally the Swedish Radio, which features many good music shows, especially late at night. It's also generally chill to listen to. Ocationally I go to some webradio-collection site and select a jazz channel or something, just to get some variation. But it doesn't last long.

I know people who has got so many mp3-files on theis disks they need support columns to prevent their harddisks from falling through the bottom of the computer case. They're that heavy. And so when I buy my own computer (another day of joy to look forward to) I'm going to keep minimizing the amount of mp3s, unless I buy some seriously large hdd:s, which I probably will... But I shall try to stay clean! It's a tough fight to fight on you own, but I will make it! I shall repent!

Merry!

The lan was good. I survived. Nuff said about that.

You might have noticed the new link buttons to the right. I think they turned out quite alright.

Christmas is tomorrow. I can't believe it. Where did all the waiting and anticipation go? Now don't act like some dull adult and go all "that's what happens when you get older", cause I do not want it to be like this. It spoils the whole month. So very many thing makes me wish I could be a little child again. A child in the summertime. Or even an adult in the summer. I wrote last spring that the previous winter had been the worst in my life. I think I'm about to experience something slightly worse in two weeks...

But let's not talk about stuff like that. This is the season of joy, isn't it?

Isn't it?

Hey?

screens and games

I'm a bit tired actually... And Iv'e been drinking quite a lot of cider and eaten a fair amount of junk food, and so I don't feel that great really. But it's nice to be here still. Played WoW since I got here. Downloaded Stubbs the Zombie, but the crappy game wouldn't work. Hmpf. I think I'll get back to leveling now... only 1 lvl left before I can use my latest spellbook.

Always something to look forward to.

Short notice

So this friend of mine calls me.
-There is a LAN-party coming up!
-Alright! I think.
-It's in a couple of hours.
-Oh... Well... I'll do it anyway!
-Sry my bad, it's in one hour.
-Holy... Well to hell with sense! I'll join in!

And so there is a guy coming to pick me up momentarily. His name is Damir Mahmutovic fyi.

Ah, it's going to be such an enormous joy to be at a lan again. I've really missed it. When I get my own place, my own life and my own computer I will be a frequent visitor of dreamhack, the worlds largest lan-party ever. Only been there once, but believe me, it's worth the money! The best thing about it is not the games. It's not the file sharing or the pron. It's not the competitions or even the general (and much lovable) mood. And it's not the people either. The great and wondrous thing about dreamhack, or any lan for that matter, is sitting on a chair for days and days, not doing anything relevant what so ever. A true rest for the mind.

Chrustmas time

Aah, finally at home again. Just spent a week in the field, in the rain, in the mud and in the cold. I actually thought the nights would be worse... but it was pretty cozy to sleep in a warm tent. Unfortunately I had to get up several times during the night in order to stand sentry or fuel the fire. Sleeping is not to be expected. Especially not if almost 10 people have called in sick so that everything takes more time, and needs more work. Like setting up a camp in the dark. The damned darkness. Clearly a worse problem than the cold.

But now it's only a week left before CHRISTMAS! Yahooo! And then it's only three months left... and then... freedom.

M87

Hey, ain't I fancy?

Fieldman

My medic training is complete. From now on I'll be out in the field with the rest of the grunts and goons freezing my ass off, and hopefully spending pretty much time in the car. I suspect I'll be sleeping in a tent though... the car will be difficult to keep warm during the nights. The nights... they sure will be cold.

But only two more weeks until chrismas holiday. Three weeks of lovely tasklessness. W00t!

My latest love

I say no more.

At attention!

You will call me Corporal Ljungström. Oh yes. Promoted and looking fine. Medic school is almost over, only one week to go now. Then it will be living in the bushes. And getting cold. Why does everything has to be so cold? I have made the conclusion that Sweden is a very bad country for the military. In the summer you do everything you can to keep cold. In the winter everything to keep warm. Which gives an assload of different equipment and regulations. Fortunately, the series of military exercises (four to be precise) will be pretty chill since there will be an increased level of realism, therefore not requiring medical services every day. I think we're getting a portable DVD-player in the car. Will be really nice I believe.

Write to write

I seriously have no idea why I'm writing right now. It's late. I should sleep. I saw Harry Potter and the Goblet of nicely animated blue flames. Good movie. I then played WoW until now. Got myself a new orc rogue. A fun class.

Aaanyway. Have a good night/day/whatever. Peace out.

Håkan

I am currently listening to "Brigde" from Sonic the Hedgehog. I am telling you, Håkan Hellström has performed a so called rip off and totally stolen the melody from this song. Download and listen.

And as you might have guessed, I'm back in my house again. And I'm a bit surprised. The visitor counter still shows 5 hits/day. And I've not written since last sunday. How peculiar. Does this mean my Internet fame is growing? Well, believe me, I'm going to keep writing, so stay tuned until I die. ... Shit, what's going to happen to my blog then? I have to get myself a successor, time is running out! Gaah!

Oh, and apart from the fscking cold weather, being a military medic rocks.

Mjölkkor

I must share this with you. In swedish though.

I know, I'm writing stuff here all the time right now... May be I miss this place already. Only one hour left, then I'll be on my way. Have to pack some more stuff. See you dudes in a week.

What's that? You worry about forgetting about this blog since I won't be writing for a whole week? Aw, how sweet of you. Well, just download Mozilla Thunderbird and subscribe to my newsfeed. Link at bottom of page. That way you'll get a new mail every time I write :D ... I wonder if that means I won't get visitor counts from those views. OMG DO NOT DO IT!

The DOOM comic

Yes, I play a lot of Doom right now. And you should also read the very gory, very bloody, very doomy DOOM comic! My will is strong, my cause is just... and my gun is very, very large.

I love visitors

And I have noticed that there is a spike in the visitor frequency every time I update. How rare, don't you think? So I'm going to try to write more short and completely useless goof-posts, because I love to get visitors :D Or maybe I'm just really tired. I have to get up early tomorrow too. But I get to DRIVE to work! How cool is that? And then, tomorrow evening it's good-bye freedom. Once again.

But the wurk is complete, I will rework the stuff soon and put it up on Swedish Wikipedia. Sharing is caring :)

Oh, and should you be a reglar reader (I actually think I have a few) or just happen to stumble upon this page, won't you please post a comment? Especially if you're from the US or India or Japan or something cool like that. I need confirmation of my internets-fame you know. Yes, I am such an attention-whore...

More wurk

I am aaalmost done with all the crap I had to do during these weeks. Just need to change a couple of things... print a few copys... but all these things take time, and that is time I could have spent playing DOOM! Ya, that marvelous old diamond of a game. I can't believe how much action ID were able to actually put in it. It's a constant blaze of chainguns and shotgund, zombies and demons flying around, blood everywhere! Technically, Doom 3 is bloodier, but Doom feels more raw. The corpses really splatter when killed and then they lay there in all their bloodiness. Not vaporizing in yellow sparks. Hmpfh.

It's the last weekend before going back to the military. It will be nice. I've kinda missed it a bit. Not the early mornings, or the officers... or the cold... or the lack of WoW, but I've missed the pals a bit, and I actually look forward to (I must be insane) going into field next week. I think it will be kind of chill really.

And maybe we group commanders have been promoted to corporals while I was gone... That promotion will rock. We have probably gotten our ceremony uniforms anyway, and I will be going home in that next friday. 19:00, Kungsbacka station, if you want a peek :)

BLEH!

THE TITLE IS IN CAPS!

I was supposed to be working today... writing, that is! AndI haven't gotten a thing done! I "could" work tomorrow, but my bro isn't home tomorrow, which gives me unlimited WoW-availability, so guess if I'll be working! Argh! I'm beginning to sink into the wow-swamp once again... Very bad timing! I have to get this shit done, and then I must write another thing too. And this must be done before I go back to the regiment on sunday.

MEH!

At wurk

Ya, I managed to get hold of a gateway to the internets. But I won't be long. Just writing because I can. Our connection at home is not feeling well at the moment.

Well, back to watching TV, waiting for alarms.

Peace doods.

Depressed to hell

Yesterday night sucked beyond belief. I was going in to Gothenburg so see Slagsmålsklubben, a great bitpop band. Now how often do you get the chance to watch that kind of music? At one of the nights I wasn't working late too. But you couldn't buy your tickets in advance, no. You had to be there early. So I got off work a little earlier than normal in order to make it to the train, but when I got there I got to stand in a queue for over an hour, breathing poisonous air and getting cold, just to be let known, along with perhaps 50 other people, that the place is full. Ha fucking ha. I could only go home, notbeingg able to do anything that night. I guess the only good thing was that none of my friends were able to join me, so they didn't have to bedisappointedd too.

I feel alone and I fucking hate it.

Events

A few unusual things have taken place over the last few days. First of all stuff connected to the ambulance. We got a transport of a small child. Only six months old. A pretty little girl. Born without a brain. ... Yes... The strange thing is that she survived birth. The impossible thing is that she is still alive and have several different reflexes. I wonder if she is alive at all. Or if it's just a shell. Seriously... what is life anyway? Does she have a soul? If she does, how is anything experienced? Or maybe it isn't. Well, the answers will probably come, some day. That day, you know.

Either way, her mother can't have an easy life right now.

The second thing was a high-priority call that concerned an unconscious man. Only he was dead. Never seen a dead body before. Both interesting and... well, it felt a bit weird. But I guess it helps to talk about it. But I'm not a talker, so I write. And people from all over the planet reads. And pay attention, cause' it's not every millennium I write stuff like this.

A few, more wordly, but still unusual things then. I was heading home from work yesterday and I accidentally stumbled upon some friends I hadn't seen in a while (one in 18 months). And one asked (partly as a joke) if I was coming with them to Gothenburg to party. And I said yes. We were both surprised. I have never been so impulsive in my entire life, if I remember correctly. But I had a great time.

And right now I'm listening to RAMMSTEINs new album Rosenrot. I just love these guys. So wonderful... Schwulah!

Tomorrow is also a relative word

Ok, so haven't really had time to write since the last post. Anyway, here goes:

Day 1 - Arrived, got some clothes, went away almost immediately to pick up a sick old man and transport him to the hospital. Not before long a second call came in... I think it was another transport. Then we picked up a guy who had cut himself in the wrist with a dazzingly sharp knife, and then we responded to an old lady who had fallen and needed transport. Ya, that was pretty much day 1.

Day 2 - nothing happened for almost 5 hours... I mainly watched TV during that time. Then I jumped on an ambulance with another coulple of guys that I don't usually ride with just to get something to do. After having dropped a girl with a strange allergic reaction at the hospital we got a priotity-1-call. A traffic accident. Frontal hit in 70 km/h, and so the cars were pretty much junk. But the people seemed to have managed quite alright. Unfortunately I had failed to put my overalls in this car, so I couldn't go out in the rain without getting seriously cold... so I stayed in the vehicle. A pity really. But "hopefully" there will be more chances.

IN OTHER NEWS: Watched Land of the dead. Nice movie. Very gory. The counter at the bottom of the sidebar to the right of this page just hit 200. I'm internet famous! I also made a small iso-drawing. "Jag vill bo/i en iPod/Annars får jag kramp!"
