Tomorrow (read today) I am going to clean up my shitty apartment. My plan is to start with that right after breakfast and do it fast so that I am done by noon. Then I am going down town to vote for the European parliament and buy some stuff I need. They open at 12 on Sundays otherwise I would probably have started with that. When I am done there I am probably starving but I am not allowed to buy anything to eat what so ever since my bank account is like a strainer and can’t afford anything like that on a date called 24th. So I will go home and cook something and eat. Then I will rest and spend some quality time in front of my computer before I will go out in the running track for a lap or two (probably just one). The rest of the day I am allowed to do whatever I want but I am going to bed early to get some nice sleep before the upcoming week.

How many of you really believe that this blogpost will come true? I still do. Until then. Good night!

Atleast that’s what my hairdresser said :)

I am mobile and blue.

I had to see the link to this article (in swedish) twice before I read it. Now I am happy that I did and that’s why I am giving you the link as well, maybe you have seen it once before but ignored it. Here is your second chance. Take it!

I can’t really say that I have followed the case about the rom family in Vojakkala. But I have seen reports about them on Insider at TV3. When I watch Insider I always get the feeling about Robert Aschberg and his program that their cases are really biased.  In this case it seems like a whole country has been biased. Maciej Zaremba gives us another picture of the family. All I can say is… There are still hopes for swedish journalism.

Woohoo, I have got some inspiration back. I mean… when you sit in school at 20:52 at a lecture and suddenly the admin guy comes and says “I am sorry to disturb you but the alarm will be activated in eight minutes so you have to leave” – and you get dissapointed. Then you can’t say you are totally out of motivation for school.  Johan Lange, our new lecturer in Project Management is really good. He really engage me as a student.

Today when my both Internet and phone was disconnected at my house and I had tried to call my ISP from my cellphone without reaching them I got a bit frustrated. So I just twittered “Sick and tired of Comhem, needs to combort” (Comhem is my ISP) from my cellphone withotu thinking much about it. It took about 10 minutes before I got this tweet “ComHemAB @mariahagglof I am sorry to hear that. What seems to be the problem?”. After some tweets I got to know that they were working with something in my area that could cause interuptions. I have been twittering half a year and this was so far my best Twitter experience but I believe that the more people who joins Twitter the better and more complex will Twitter be. Thank you Samuel Garlöv at Comhem for your tweets!

My favourite Dutch gave me the tip about Hugin. It’s a little program making panorama pictures, very simple actually. As a first test I made this:

Out of these six pictures from the Lefka Ori Mountains on Crete:

The result is pretty cool, I don’t see anything unatural or such.

Yesterday when I was at the grocery store to increase my vitamin C stock I ran into one of the most famous Swedish comedians. He was there shopping some food together with his two kids.  I used to like him, he’s always seemed like a person with common sense in media and he was also lecturing once at the university so I have seen him irl before. Now I don’t like him that much any more. Most celebrities have got the choice to be a public person and with that choice comes some responsibilities in my opinion.  I think that as a celebrity you should be a person for people to model themselves on. This famous comedian didn’t really show that side of himself yesterday.

First of all, his two kids, I’d guess they are around 6 to 9 years old ran around like crazy in the store. And their father didn’t care much about that, actually he didn’t say a jot. Sure, kids are allowed to be kids and they need to run around once in a while but it’s not like they are 2-3 year old babies who don’t understand the difference between a grocery store and a playground.

Second, the kids had dumped a bottle of juice each in the shopping cart which they apparently had brought from outside the store. When at the cash desk (this was when I had ended up right behind them) our comedian realized that he can’t have the bottles in the cart without having to pay for them. The youngest kid who had half the bottle left got to take his bottle and ran away with it but the other bottle was empty so the comedian and father just left it on a shelf where chew gums and other tiny goods are exposed. Just like that. Like it was the most ordinary thing in the world to do. In a world where I am not a wimp I should have asked him if it’s common sense to leave an empty bottle at a random place in a grocery store.

Third, he bought food for a few hundred SEK and didn’t pay for it. I don’t know if he has a deal with this store and will get a bill or something but I’m sure it wouldn’t have been OK if I would have wanted to buy my things for 190 SEK on tick.

So… you see that I was getting a bit upset here, right? I have nothing against celebrities if they act with common sense. But when they think they can behave how ever they feel like just because they are celebrities they annoy me. So.. hello big famous comedian, even though I may laugh at you next time I see you on tv, it doesn’t mean that I like you any more.

It was a little bug.. I can’t really believe it exists by default but now it’s fixed. Just because it works I give you this photo from Rethymnon, Crete.
