• What’s in a name?

    I changed my name a few weeks ago. Thought I’d share a few tips on how to handle the situation if you’re going to interact with me, or with someone else you know who’s changed their name. What to do? Use my new name. Not only in my presence, but…

  • This new year

    Right then. So the Earth has once again passed that arbitrary point in its orbit which we define as the beginning and the end of a year. The entire event went by without much celebration on my part, since some abstract entity or other saw it fit that I should…

  • A new home

    So. I have a home. It’s one of those excellent luxuries too often taken for granted. After five months of homelessness I finally have one, and I thoroughly enjoy it. That, and the peace of mind that comes with not having to stress about where to spend the night every…

  • Where the heart is

    Back in Sweden. Everything is the same, but I’m different. A year of mostly travelling has changed me. Not to mention the way I see the world. It feels smaller and friendlier, now that I’ve circumnavigated it. This ground is familiar, but the sky feels strange now that I know…

  • Feverish musings

    Snivel. Here I am, coughing my lungs out, and in a little more than a week I’ll be leaving this lovely town that I’ve been living in for the past half year or so. But not forever. I couldn’t bear it if I had to tell myself I’d be leaving…

  • New Zealand

    Long time no see, huh. This writer’s block is a funny thing. The longer I put it off, the more I get to write about, and the more difficult and for some reason embarrassing it gets to actually do it. It’s not like I couldn’t have taken the time to…

  • Happy old year, and hopeful new one

    Good gods. So, so many things are happening in my life, and very soon this year has come to an end. December has been tumultuous and fantastic, much like the rest of the year. A couple of lovely melodic death metal concerts with good company (Amon Amarth and Dark Tranquility,…

  • I love my life

    My life of late? Some ups and downs, but mostly freakin’ sky-highs. A splendid birthday party filled with good friends, nice stories, lovely hugs and two masterpieces of cakes. Beautiful concerts and spectacular shows, great roleplaying, cozy choir-singing, better company than I could ever ask for. Days and nights filled…

  • Mina äventyr på La Palma

    Jag lovade min kära faster att skriva något på svenska. Så varsågod faster och övriga svenskspråkiga, här kommer en sammanfattning av mina äventyr på La Palma. Alla bilder går att klicka på för att se i större format. Där inget annat anges har jag själv fotat med min inte alltför…

  • A good day

    And so the good mood returns, with a vengeance. Today was a splendid day. The seeing was fantastic well into the afternoon, and we observed a group of sunspot in an active region where flare after flare was going off before our eyes. The data set from today alone might…
