Bombs away!

Today I applied for my Swedish citizenship. I have no clue how long it will take for them to get back to me. But I hope that everything was correct and that they will contact me soon saying "welcome to sweden".. ;)



In another story, my server was acting up, so I went out and bought a new fan for it. It seems to be working much better now, and its a lot less noisy!!!

Partying in London

Last night Kim and I met up with Karl at G-A-Y bar and went to Heaven. We danced and had a lot of fun. Kim even met someone named Eric. Well I think that's just great, I hope things work out with them but you never know. OH and finally we were at a place that took VISA. So when I was at the bar, guess what happened? DECLINED! hahah. Well I called the bank this morning and they think it was a communications issue. But it's just my luck, as you read when I complained about G-A-Y not taking visa. Good lord!

Today we are going to meet up with Babs and Annika and maybe go to the Swedish Church.

Last night

Kim took me to a club called G-A-Y at the Astoria. It was not the first time he took me there. With his promise of visa acceptance broken we danced and mingled with the people who were generally happy and enjoying themselves.



But the visa incident did not throw the whole night off, because Kim and I danced to every hit from the 6o's through to the 9o's on the two large dance floors. Kim found someone who he found very interesting named Todder as seen her in a stock photo:



The night was ended with the 456 Bus to Marylebone and our return to the Manor of Jevington at Wallace Court. On the way back to the manor we saw a quite violent looking automobile accident involving a tipped over van. Hope everyone survived, as we got a good laugh out of it. Teehee.

London

I arrived yesterday in London without incident. The only problem was that when I tried to catch the coach to London they only took cash, so I had to take the train instead. (I really wanted to try the bus on this trip!



I was very tired but I still had time to go with kim for fish and chips.



The place we went to was rated #1 in London by several newspapers. It was quite ok, even if I didn't eat the chips too.

Today, so far, Kim is still sleeping. I should be, but i'm not. Last night I was mostly tired because I woke up so damn early, so I shouldn't repeat the sins of yesterday, literally.

TV with Joakim

I know that normally I don't encourage the watching of television, but yesterday Joakim and I started watching season four of queer as folk, a really interesting look into the world of gay life. While I don't agree with everything it says, i'm sure there are truths to a lot of it.



Tomorrow I fly to London to visit one of my best friends, Kim Berg. Should be very interesting!

HAMSTERS

Today I bought two siberian dwarf hamsters! Yeah, a bit crazy, but oh well. :)

Here is their cage:



Here are they:



And here they are again from a distance:



I need to think of names!!! Contact me if you have any ideas!!! :P Thanks!

Martin

The Pope

Well yesterday the Pope died which is quite a tragic event for the world, because, even if you aren't religious or catholic for that matter you have to respect the accomplishments of the man. Someone who ended communism in eastern Europe, brokered the first peace in the middle east and countless other benefits to mankind should be admired by all.



Even though the night started off poorly, what with the Pope dieing and all, I had promised Joakim that I would go out with him to dance. We went to Wonk in Malmö and generally had a good time. Earlier in the day I saw Joakim playing at the Malmö Symphony Orchestra. He plays counter-bass and quite well too! The concert was entitled "Vienna after Beethoven" but was only Mahler. The conductor had flown in from Vienna specially for this event.

In the evening I sat home with Martin and watched a DVD (The Butterfly Effect) and then the first episode of "Desperate Housewives". Interesting show. Good movie. :)

Joakim over

Yesterday my good friend Joakim came around to just sit and talk and drink some wine and chat and stuff. It was a lot of fun, we finished off two bottles on our own and he contacted some friends of his, one in Spain and one in London.
