Two big outings in one week:
One a birthday celebration,
One open house for a lighting consultancy.
An important thing learnt about lighting:
The consultancies hold fabulous open houses.
Result:
A brain shutting out realities on Friday,
An essay draft to be handed in late.
But at least it makes me rather happy for now.

I [heart] Huckabees on DVD.
Intense and strange,
Questioning and absolutely wonderful.
I felt so good after watching it yesterday.
Nihilism and infinite existence.
If everything doesn’t matter,
Is what matters most I myself?

Is it more scandalous,
If you have a secret liking for your housemate,
Or if you try to flirt and hit on her?
Maybe it doesn’t really matter –
It turned out that I wasn’t wrong,
When I felt that I wasn’t the only one,
Who had good feelings about her.
Anyway what the heck,...
Not like I can compete on fair grounds anyway....

A SAD Case.

Seasonal Affective Disorder.
I should blame the excess melatonin,
For all the negative feelings rising in me.

There might be a light nearby,
But I can feel it fading away,
Every single day.

Sometimes the environment gets annoying,
Then I start finding myself annoying,
Because why am I doing the same thing,
Again and again,
When I am have issues with it?

When the usual Chinese jokes,
And jokes about broken heads,
Get repeated for the 100th time in on week,
The stale stink from it,
Transforms into such a strain on my nerves,
I could really feel myself on the brink of explosion.
So I guess it is about time,
To start getting some respect.
And hopefully some intelligent jokes.

Send them to my email,
Those who have something cleverer.

Cheapo way to party,
Means drinking 4 shots,
Plus a mixer with 2 shots,
Then some cider from Systema Bolaget,
Before hitting the clubs in town.
Which accounts for why last night was a blur,
With the memorable moments being:

1/ Getting lost before arriving at Musebek
2/ Dancing (!)
3/ Getting left behind on our way to Steffi at Burns
4/ Losing my way when I got left behind
5/ Catrin and Louis climbing on a horse statue
6/ Getting kicked on the temple by Catrin
7/ Swedish guy at Burns speaking Mandarin to me
8/ Falling asleep on nightbus on an elevated seat
9/ Falling off the seat, head first
10/ Suffering lacerations on the head again

This morning's conversation with Catrin.
C: *feels head on one side* It doesn't feel swollen.
J: Try putting one hand on each side of my head.
C: *realisation* Oh, so it didn't feel swollen cos
the whole side of the head is swollen!

Lights In Alingsås.



Last week was the ELDA+ workshop in Alingsås.
I joined Herbert Cybulska's group,
After he gave an interesting lecture,
About how he wants to have an installation,
That combines both sound and lights,
Under a tunnel he calls the concrete jungle.
After alot of pain and brink of giving up,
Our team did a pretty great job.
The cool musicians from Göteborg,
Did a fantastic job mixing their beats,
With the sound of train, cars, bikes.

And it bloody feels like something,
When your project is feature photograph,
On the mainpage of the event.
