To observe observing observers can be interesting. If for no other reason then for the sheer meta-ness of it. It seems to take a special kind of personality to willingly go away to a faraway island, and spend two weeks at the top of a mountain looking at the Sun…

Androgynity, how it itches
Still insanely busy, but just have to share these anecdotes. So, apparently some people have problems with my somewhat androgynous appearance. This weekend I was walking down the streets of Brussels, when two dude-bros started talking loudly as I walked past. Dude-bro 1: “Is that a guy with long hair,…

Strange dreams and strange weather
Tonight in my dream I saw a volcano erupt. My thoughts went something like this. Wait a minute, I’m not in Iceland, am I? Wow, this is totally awesome! Oh shit, there are flying rocks and lava and stuff, I better run! And I pulled up my cloak over my…

I can’t keep it in
I crawl out from under my rock after a week of fever-dazed paralysis. Find a shining sun, spring winds in the air, most of my health back, and an exuberant happiness at life in my heart. If my lungs weren’t still sore from all the coughing I would be running,…

Autumnal equinox come and gone, winter approaching more rapidly by the day. I do so love the winter, and these beautiful autumn days is a wonderful premonition. The cold, crisp air in the mornings, the misty fields, the soon-to-come frost in the grass and the wild winds. Brightly coloured leaves…

Självporträtt
I brist på fotogeniska egenskaper får ni hålla tillgodo med denna: Inte alltför långt från sanningen, och Mizar fick vara med också. Bilden är ihopklistrad här.

Sömnprat
Pluggar desperat inför de kommande tentorna, så tänker inte ta mig tid att skriva något längre inlägg här på ännu en stund. Kan dock dela med mig av en smårolig nattlig händelse från härom veckan. Den här gången skall jag enligt uppgift ha börjat gapskratta i sömnen. Till sist vaknade…
