Summer!

Oceans 11, 12, 13 and.......... 52

Yesterday when I took a walk along the river shore I did pass a bench on which a guy was sitting, holding a big, home-made kite in his hands. It was windy, a bit too windy for a big kite to fly. I saw it was mounted some kind of camera in the middle of the kite.
I stoped for a couple of seconds, nodded a "Hi!" to him, he nodded back.
"A bit too windy for this?" I said and pointed at the kite.
"Yeah", he said, "I'm waiting for it to calm a bit".
"Taking photos?" I said, looking in the direction of the camera.
"Do you have a computer?" he asked.
"Yes, of course"
"Check on You Tube, I'm Oceans52" he said.
His origin was from Crete, Greece, and that's why the Swedish and Greece flag are on the kite.
And I did. Nothing spectacular, but a bit funny to see the result of his work. It seems like the video shown here is taken about 5 km south from where we met, but, I'm not all sure.

December 21st 2011 - Christmas tree


January 15th 2012 - Empty floor

Today Christmas was cleaned away from the appartment.
Pity: A little darker and less colourful.
Happiness: One step closer to springtime and summer.
Feels good.

As If Anyone Would Notice...

...but the blog-master a.k.a. The Terrible Guitarist of the Cosy Combo, a.k.a. the unexperienced part of The Jane Henry Experience, the grey member of Ambient DarkWhite et cetera, et cetera, will enter the small countryside cottage (made famous through the cover art shown on the previous blog entry) for a month or so, for some well deserved resting, enjoying good reading, music, eating and drinking, sometimes in good company, watching the grass grow...

... well, probably you've got the message.

Lunch Room Discussions - Car Crashes?

At the end of the lunch-session at my job today someone started talking about driving cars and listening to music.
They said: It can't be too soft and slow - You might fall asleep.
They said: We love soft and slow music, ballads and ear-candy stuff.
They said: The music better be fast and rocky when you drive your car, not too lazy.

I thought:
Probably we don't share opinion about what's soft and slow, or ballads or ear-candy, or fast and rocky. Or anything else.


If I knew they knew who he is I would have suggested them to put on almost anything with Mats Gustafson in their car stereo, but I know they don't, so I didn't. At least they wouldn't fall asleep.

I thought: If I should burn a CDR with some Mats G music and give to them for playing in their cars and see what happen?
But, I don't.
They would kill me.

Speaking of music - I don't think we mean the same thing when we talk about it.

And I haven't told them how much better drivers they would be with some Joxfield ProjeX comming out of the speakers.

A Big Day!

A big day today for the Joxfield ProjeX Society when MCN, the Official President of the Unofficial Joxfield ProjeX Fan Club, defended her thesis Corneal Transplant Outcome - A Swedish Register.
We don't have to say she made it brilliant, as always when she do things, it was also very educational and we're all very proud of her. Congratulations!



The opponent, Jesper H, made a great job and presented the thesis in a most accessible way, followed by questions and wonderings which MCN had all clear and distinct responses to.
An academic day for our splitted musical minds.

Tomorrow is the great party - I wonder how much of the Joxfield ProjeX' music we will hear?
