  • Intermission of busyness

    Ye gods. So many things are happening this summer that there is hardly any time to blog at all. I still have the last part of the China tour to describe, and then there is my work towards actually taking that bachelor’s degree in astrophysics. Now, however, it’s off towards…

  • Hem ljuva hem

    Hemma i Sverige. Tröttare än en död hamster, men lycklig. Kina var intressant och överväldigande på alla sätt, men jag älskar att vara hemma igen. Det är så jävla fint att bo i Sverige, vi priviligerade skitstövlar borde ta oss tid att konstatera det lite oftare. Vattnet går att dricka…

  • LinCon and the awesomeness of reality

    Another gaming convention come and gone. Another weekend of feeling utterly at home and enjoying every second of good company and board games and general geekiness. Even the signature social panic managed to stay away this time. Might be a one-time lucky accident, or I might have leveled up on…

  • How to keep sane in times of stress

    “It hadn’t been a good day; sanity was a distant memory.” — Terry Pratchett (Pyramids) Another weekend past. As usual I didn’t finish a third of the things I set out to do. Ye gods, remind me to never study more than 100 % at the same time ever again.…

  • Vegan ice cream, IKEA, and fear of growing up

    Still busy as hell, therefore lack of updates. The weekend did offer some nice and well-needed distractions, though. Played an awesome concert with the orchestra. Included in the repertoire was Dvořák’s ninth symphony, which was fun and engaging to play. Got a visit from mom, who brought with her an…

  • Successes!

    Hello blog. Oh, and hello blog readers. Happy news! I passed a whole bunch of exams! This term has been the best with respect to results so far for me, but also the most intense and difficult one. I guess that insane amount of studying actually paid off. Just a…

  • On my loss of wisdom(teeth)

    Long time no update, huh. Guess that pesky “real life” had me absorbed for a while again. Ah well, back to forgetting about its miseries by… whining about them here? Had a really lovely time at the dentist, got a wisdom-tooth pulled out, root and all. Guess I was more…

  • Time of Winter

    And so the clock was winded back an hour and winter time was re-conquered. Bloody finally. Summer time is stupid and should be abandoned forever. Summer is miserable enough as it is, so why bother fiddling with the clock and destroying the nice, dark evenings of potential stargazing? Mlah. Anyway,…

  • Wish I was somewhere else

    In good news: I passed the oral exam on atomic physics! In awesome news: I passed the oral exam on atomic physics with honors! I am not quite sure how this happened. Mostly luck, as in being asked the right questions, I suspect. Nevertheless, it’s a hell of a self-confidence boost! In…
