Yay! I found it again!

Wisdom and confusion are the same

People who write about themselves all the time are self-centered, but at least they might be aware of it.

People who write about others all the time are so self-centered that they don't see that no one gives a shit about what they are thinking about others.

People who write only about non-people are just asocial.

People who write about everything need to get a life.

People who don't write are just stupid.

Conclusion: Make an entry about... Eh... I think I just said I need to get a life or that I'm self-centered.

I gave Lilo shrimps today, by the way.

Well, they started to move 30 minutes before I wrote that but I hadn't heard the SMS. And now they are already done! So I guess my help wasn't that much needed.

Heavy metal thunder...

Or at least thunderstorms, but they are shaking the ground. The power is stable though. No worry about Elftown, thanks to the new UPS. But my own computer might go out in any minute.

And soon I'll be helping a friend to move. It will not be so nice if the rain is raining sharks and whales.

I iz in ur scanner Cat paws!

Damn, I had a cloud looking just like a shadow vessel (But grey instead of black), but my camera failed to get a picture of it.

Here is at least a part of it:

Gah! They are haunting me! OK, I'll do one. Read on your own time!

Eggs. I'm quite sure I already have enough beer and vitamin pills to survive.

2. If you were reincarnated as a sea creature, what would you be?
Not sure really. Killer Whales are assume, but a little too mean for me actually. Sperm Whales have the biggest brains on Earth, but they don't so so much useful with them it seems. The lack the limbs. So I guess I'll place 2/3 of my brain in my arms and become a colossal squid. As soon as we figure out how to make pressure chambers, we'll be conquering space and other near by places like "ground".

3. Who is your favorite redhead?
Does not compute. I never remember colours like that.

4. What do you order when you are at IHOP?
In Hope Of Phucking?!? I have no idea what you're talking about.

A dictionary, of course.

Black.

13. If you could only use one form of transportation:
Teleportation.

14. Most recent movie you have watched in theaters?
That's way too long back in time to remember. Some Lord of the Rings, maybe?

15. Name an actor/actress/singer you have had the hots for?
Does Yelena Isinbayeva count as an actress? I don't care much for people playing someone else.

Mine.

17. What did you have for dinner last night?
That would be cooked eggs, beer and wine.

18. Look to your left, what do you see?
A black table that needs some minor cleaning before the pre-party tomorrow.

Of course not!

20. Favorite toy as a child?
LEGO.

21. Do you buy your own groceries?
Yes.

22. Do you think people talk about you behind your back?
Probably, because there are people with even more boring life than mine. I don't care though.

Never had them.

Raspberries. Is that a fruit?

Not much, but I tried to play some a fem minutes ago.

Something awful, so I popped it out.

33. Do you watch SpongeBob?
I've just heard about him on the Internet.

34. What temperature is it outside right now?
16 C or so.

35. Do people consider you smart?
No, because they are morons.

36. How many piercings do you have?
Not anyone that is made on purpose.

37. Are you signed on AIM?
AIM? MSN? Yes.

The one making these questions is sick.

44. What is your favorite salad dressing?
I don't care.

Last year? I got some nice 60cl glasses, among other thing. Those were the ones most heavy to carry home though.

46. What family member/friend lives the farthest from you?

47. Do you like hugs?
Generally, yes. I can stand even horrible hugs without problems though.

Some month ago. And it wasn't for anything useful or important either. Just a brain-bug. And a girl, of course.

49. What is the way people most often mispronounce any part of your name?
They say "Wallin" as "wall" and not as "vall".

50. Last person you hugged?
So Lilo isn't a person? It might have been Lilith... I'm not sure though. Maybe Hanna. I'm pretty sure I hugged someone yesterday though.

I've got two new peer-students. Both named Julia. One from Germany and one from Latvia. Haven't heard from them yet though.

If you want to hear what I said about Kalle Anka on Radio Gävleborg (in Swedish).

Click on 16.00 - 16.30 and forward to 21:19 in that time-slot.

To relate to the previous posting... I will not be able to sleep tonight either. Tomorrow a TV-team will come here and interview me about the Donald Duck loves CDs comic (Egmont).

I think I'll make a very nervous impression and I need to prepare what I really want to say and then a lot I can say just in case I get some time.

Not related, I'm getting a peer-student from Latvia. A guy called Вадим Кайриш. [Nita]: Wave goodbye to him! He's coming here on Saturday with his brother.

Neither related: My parents are coming here on Friday, so I'll try to entertain them, but I've said that I want 3-5 hours per day to be Internet:ed on, so they will try to do something else then.

I can't sleep!

And I'm too tired to stay awake... Grrr!

Vino de la Hedda

Wine done! 20 litres of party!

Bought a new bike today as you can see on my photos.

I also started to make wine. We'll see how that turns out. It should be done in a week. It cost about 20SEK/litre (=2.4USD), but then all the equipment was included. The actual wine is about half the price.

I'll try to make some beer and more fun stuff later on. I wanted to try out some wheat beer with Roman chocolate taste and some non-distilled vodka (sugar with yeast made to make quite pure alcohol up to 24%, but that might not be legal... I guess I should check that before I try it), but at least the first is kind of easy to fail with, so I start slow with the classic wine.

Then I have no idea what to do with all the wine... Well, that's another problem. It's still a cheap hobby.

I've been playing KhanWars for a while now, but I'll quit now. I've figured out how to build the perfect army, I'm ready to get my maximum 10 castles and spend time on fighting others. But it simply takes way more time than I have and it isn't that fun anymore.

I should make a funnier and more interesting strategic game. Something that one can play less than an hour per day and that is always evolving into new interesting patterns.

Well, well... I have stuff to do to Elftown first. And another totally mad project that probably never will happen, but it's worth spending some design time on, I think. It's a secret so far though.

Damn I'm slow. I better watch some lectures or something lazy...

This was a pretty fun and interesting speech about how to innovation:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amt3ag2BaKc

It basically says:
1) You have to work hard.
2) You have to explore other possibilities and do things no one else does.
3) You will fail.
4) Some people will try to stop you because any innovation brings change.
5) If you don't allow your employees or children to do what they really want a part of their time, your business will not grow and they will be hurt in the process.
