Cats dont care!



Atleast this is true regarding my cat ^^

last.fm

Today I got informed about this music service called www.lastfm.se
You register yourself on the page, download a little program and install it on your computer.
Each song you play from either Spotify, Winamp, iTunes or Windows mediaplayer is recored on the website.

The website then figures out what kind of music you are into and suggests music from the same genre. You can also choose radio with your favorite artists!
Pretty cool :)

You can see my library at http://www.lastfm.se/user/arzusah

Best comment today

"Jag ska sammanställa vad jag vet om dig. Du blir tillfredställd av sömn, sex, gitarr och dator."

I thought that one was pretty funny, yet true. :D

Acustic Guitar




I've been playing my guitar abit lately and found out that I want a "real" one. One with steel instead of nylon threats. The sound is sooo much better with steel!
So I just ordered one from Germany: Epiphone Limited EB Ebony.
The reason for ordering from Germany is that I only pay half price form there! :D Awesome!!

New schedule

I've been thinking alot lately about working regular hours again. To have a normal workweek again, monday to friday, 8 to 5.
The problem is that I'd probably loose so much money on that + I'd have to give up my 3 days weekend + I'd have to work harder....
Doesn't really look like it's worth it, does it?

Still, I'm considering it.
The reason is that I've been working nights, weekends and evenings for a year now. And I've realized that my social life has completely died during this year. I always work when others are free and vice versa.
I also eat crap when working nights due to poor cookingskills, laziness and the fact that I don't use any energy -> I don't get hungry.

I've discussed this with my boss and come up with a "solution".
In October I'll be working dayshifts only! I will have 1,5 week vacation tho for hunting moose and moving.
It will be interesting for sure. Walk amongst the living again, eat better and having every weekend free :)
And ofc the paycheck will be interesting too.. How much do I really loose on this?
Money or Health/social life? Thats the question...

Swineflu

Hmm, the only thing you read in the news these days are about this swineflu.
Whats up with this hype anyway? Its just another flu, cured by lying in bed for a week. If you get it, you will be immune for the rest of your life, hence a one time experience.
Now the entire country is about to be vaccinated for a cost of 1.2 billion SEK.

Next year we will have another flu which we are not immune to... It feels like a major waste of money tbh.
I read that the mortality rate is approximate 0,4% so whats all the fuss about really?

I was thinking about vaccinating myself just in case cuz lying sick in bed for a week with high fever isn't something I'm fond of.. but now I think I'll pass.
According to sources, you can actually get the swineflu by taking the vaccination. :/
And if you don't, you will probably experience symptoms in a minor scale..
I'd rather take the risk and not experience anything at all, than taking the shot and highten the odds.
Just wash your hands often and don't shake hands with everyone you see. Pretty easy.
The human resource team here at work just bought in Alco Gel on every toilet. ^^

Checklist

Just 1 month to go, and then I'll be out of here! (Södertälje)
I need to get some things done so just setting up a checklist here for myself..

  • Move electricity from Södertälje to Farsta - Done.
    Changed from Telge Energi to Vattenfall. I had to look for the correct net-supplier tho. Apparently it is Fortum that owns the powerlines in Farsta so I'll have to be a customer with them too :p


  • End ComHem broadband subscription in Södertälje - Done.
    Done and done! Will keep the digital tv package tho.

  • Get Bredbandsbolaget as ISP (internet service provider) to the new apartment - Done.
    Finally a 100mb/s line instead of the shitty 24 mb/s! :D

  • Send in signed papers to bank - X.
    Need to determine how I should split the loan and how long I should bind the rent first.

  • Get vacation cleared for moving - Done.

  • Set a date for moving - Done.
    Will be moving first weekend in October.

  • Create checklist for stuff I need to buy and calculate estimated cost - Just started.
    Really just started on this one. I fear this wont be cheap ^^
Hmm, can't come up with anything else atm.
