Ooops..

..I'd totally forgotten about this place..
*sorry*

Anyhoo.. I've got plenty of boring stuff I could write about.. and some fun stuff too.. but for now:

Ooh, and some *makes me LmFAO* failbook too:

Bent in awe..

Yes, pun is intended..


Every time, which isn't very often, I hear the word scoliosis, it always has me thinking of Achmed the Dead Terrorist - which, in turn, has me LMFAO.

"Well, I went the doctor. ... The idiot goes 'Eyy, let's take an X-ray.' I said 'You idiot! How about a fricking Polaroid?!"
"Help! I'm twisted and I can't get up!"


However, scoliosis in itself isn't really that much of a laughing matter - it's a medical condition in which a person's spine is curved from side to side. [..though you can't blame Jeff Dunham for using it in his Achmed-sketches; after all, Achmed is a skeleton..] 
And hence, it is also part of what makes this guy amazing:


Brain Gaynor - So You Think You Can Dance, Season 7 audition


Interestingly, when the show aired on TV in my country, the song playing during the dance was an instrumental song. And it wasn't even the instrumental version of Fireflies, which is obviously -watching this video- the song he is really dancing to.. Why the change?

Here are some more YouTube videos featuring Brian:

On hiatus..

I haven't forgotten my blog, not at all. I've just been lost in a different world, with nothing much to blog about. Well, that's not entirely true, but I'm not going to start gushing on about the stories I read. At least not right here, not right now.

Also, I've been in more of a twitter mood, though only slightly so. You are more than welcome to visit me @ twitter.com/zellzynt, it's usually updated more frequently than this blog. However, I rarely write anything profound. :P Just so you know.. Which probably means it doesn't, in that sense, differ much from my blogging.

I only have one day left of my vacation, tomorrow, and these past two weeks have flied by. I've mostly been reading, hence the "lost in a different world", and.. Hmm, that's pretty much it I guess. Got some studying done this week, but not nearly as much as I should've, and I also went to the mall to, for the first time in a long time, shop for something other than groceries. My brother and his wife are expecting their second child and she is due any day now, and I'm not sure that I'll be able to meet the baby until sometime in September, so I decided I wanted to give them some baby gifts now, since we were all going to be visiting my parents. I bought some baby clothes, found the cutest little tiny [<-- pleonasm!] knitted cardigan with pockets, and a pyjamas for the big-sister-to-be.

Friday was Midsummer's Eve here in Sweden, one of our most celebrated holidays. I met up with my brother's family at my parent's house in my old home town. We had some traditional Swedish food [matie, sour cream, chives, early potatoes, meatballs etc], went to a traditional day-time celebration [with folk dancing and a maypole] and then went back home for a relaxed evening with more food [barbaque this time - and strawberry cake] and crappy TV programs.
My brother tried to explain the difference between binary, decimal and hexidecimal - or more precisly, how come the hexidecimal A equals a decimal ten.. Once we'd gotten through all the "base 2", "base 10" and "base 16" crap [I shouldn't be calling it crap, I find it really interesting - it's just that it's so logical, it becomes illogical, and things like that always have me confused], I think I finally got it.. I'm telling you, my brother is crazy smart when it comes to computer science. Thankfully for me, he's like a walking encyclopedia. :)

I left my parent's house after lunch yesterday, the drive home being a story quite of its own, and was back in the comfort of my livingroom in no time. I watched some TV and had some food, but then I was right back to where I've been spending most of my time lately
- inside other people's imagination

It's really weird.. My brain knows that tomorrow's [well, more like today by now] Monday, and that this week is a working week - but not until Tuesday, so.. I can't explain it, but it's like my mind is telling my body that tomorrow is a "get up early and go to work"-day.. and it's annoying, tensing and.. bleh!
And, of course, that being said - one of the guys working the night shift just called me, asking how to change  something..

Anyhoo, this became a rather long post, it being a "hiatus" one. I think it's time I get back to my main occupation - having new insight in the story, I have Dreamcatcher to partially re-read..

Tonight's plans..

1. Laugh Out Loud - a Lot
2. Get properly beered up



Disturbed - Stricken [Ten Thousand Fists (2005)]


Sunday last..

Been saying more than once this week that I'd write about Sunday, but I still haven't.. And now it doesn't feel very current anymore, can't really remember what I wanted to tell you about anyway. Except I washed, cleaned and emptied my car [time for some vehicle service], almost got in an auto accident [not my fault, some tosser had forgotten to turn off the indicator and did not turn when I thought he would..] and finally bought flowers for my balcony!

Getting things done..

I'd planned to visit my workmates today, but as it turns out, I was/am completely knackered and had a hard time getting out of bed today as well. Which sucks, but it is what it is.

Anyhow, now I'm finally up and running and today things are getting done! Wether I want them to or not.. Which sounds stupid, of course I want them done. Wether I feel like it or not is probably more correct.

So, now I'm loading the dishwasher, then it's off to the supermarket - finally going to recycle the [what seems like millions of] soda cans and mineral water/soda bottles occupying my hall, and then I have to cram for my tests on Sunday.

Don't really now what kind of music will be accompanying me today, but thus far, I'm in a 70's kind of mood.


The Ramones - Blitzkrieg Bop [Ramones (1976)]


Too tired..

..and that's pretty much all I can think of to say right now..

Hope you're having a great day!


What the..?!

I washed my hands some minutes ago, not an unusual occurrence, but when I sat back down to start writing on the computer again, my hands felt very strange. I looked down on them and.. the skin on my palms and fingers is completely flaking. Weird! And uncomfortable..

Other than that, nothing much is happening today. Still haven't posted anything about Sunday, which I said early yesterday morning that I'd do later in the day, so I'll try to get around to that. Not that anything exceptional happened, but I do have some pictures to share.

Just got off the phone with a co-worker. I already miss my workmates a bit, after only two days of vacation, so I think I'll have to pay them a visit. Maybe I'll even bake them something..

PS..

My "If you can't read, then why the hell are you taking a literature class..?!" in the previous post had nothing to do with the participants actual ability to read, but with the fact that one might think they're unable to, since most questions asked of the professor revolved around the course structure and syllabus, information we received weeks ago in hard copy, rather than the subject at hand.


I know..

There's an excessive amount of music/YouTube going on here right now (think I'll hold off on that longer[ish] piece for a while).. At the moment there's too much going on in my head, but instead of explaining it with words, I just post whatever music is in there or fits my mood. Which isn't really very telling, since we all interpret things differently, and I'm not giving you the thoughts behind my choices. Not to mention that you might detest some of them. So, whilst there will (most likely) always be a lot of music on this blog, I'll try to shape up and write a little more..

I'm multitasking this with an online chat Q&A (Lit class) and I'm laughing so hard right now.. The sad thing is, I can't even begin to explain why..
Our poor professor must be utterly bored by now - I know I am.. Question I'd like to ask: If you can't read, then why the hell are you taking a literature class..?!


DM:at av världens bästa Anon till mig @ twitter, avd: Vad är det för folk i forumet på din datakurs egentligen?
"Eh? Är det små 1337-tomtar som ugglar runt där eller?"

Hahahahahahahaha..! Hi 5


Serious[ly]..

Thinking about something to write about [not that there is a lack of topics and little things].. Don't want this to become a "YouTube"-blog and/or an all too non-serious blog [saving that for my in-the-middle-of-the-night blogging] with no real substance, nor do I want it to become a place to "bitch-n-moan".. Not that I really have anything to complain about at the moment..

In the meantime, I'm going to make something to eat..


New name, new page, same style, different language..

Var visst ett tag sen jag bloggade.. (@ Knegers) Tappade inspirationen helt, vet iofs inte om den ens fanns till att begynna med. Blev ganska menlöst där på slutet. Fick dock en well needed dos inspiration av en ny arbetskamrat.

Nej, det har kommer inte att ga - sitter vid en netbook med engelskt tangentbord = utan de ytterst viktiga svenska bokstaverna a, a och o :P

..so I'm just going to write this in English instead, to save myself the hassle of copying every å, ä and ö or some other tiresome process.. Might as well blog entirely in English, probably suits me better.

In my head I'm singing..

..whilst watching..


Anyhoo, where was I..? Right, I completely lost what little inspiration I had and that's why I haven't written in a while. Don't really know what to write now either, but at least I've gotten some inspiration back - in the form of a new co-worker. Who would've thought?! :) Love it when random (or maybe not) things like that happen, too bad he's just here for the summer.. But he'll probably get tired of my talking way before the end of July, so perhaps I should say Lucky him! *joking*

He's made me remember something I realised a long time ago, but for some reason keep forgetting - I'm hard to please when it comes to real company. I can consort with almost any type of person, and I like diversity in my acquaintances, but the reason I spend so much time on my own ~ ..I need to get out more.. ~ is not that I'm a boring person who doesn't have friends or people to hang out with. Mainly, it's that I rarely come across people I truly feel a connection with, be it on a deeper level or/and a more trivial, who share some of my thoughts (or think somewhat alike), views, moral standards and interests. People who make me use the brain I've actually been given and who make me see the world in different colours. Who broaden my mind, instead of narrowing it. Those are the kind of people I want to spend my time with.  *late night waffle*

Then there is also the fact that I'm quite garrulous, which can be wearisome.. And that most of my peers, having spouses and children, something I have yet to acquire.. OT: I could definitely use a little love in my life.. BOT: ..are busy with their own lives in a whole other way than I am with mine.

Latest tweet:
I'm a pedant and a perfectionist. That's why I've given up on tidying - I can't live up to my own standards, so why bother? @zellzynt
