"You nimbly dodge their beards."

International book week apparently, find your nearest book, turn to page 52 and quote the 5th sentence. No telling which book, though. "Ser Robin raised a hand, and his archers lowered their bows." is what I got. I bet you can guess...

Fire spinning has started again, will post video as soon as Matt gives it to me. The oil I got works excellently, will try something a bit different out later... Expect a cool video by the end of the year.

My bike's in the repair shop, so I still have to walk to work. At least I'm getting something out of it. Going to start listening to audio books on my way. Downloaded Atlas Shrugged, because I cannot for the life of me read it on my own. Each part is half an hour, phone says: part 1 of 115. This might take a while.

In other news, Logan the Lab is gone now, found a new owner. He was nice and all, but too energetic, and we're all stressed enough as it is.

I am having the time of my life gaming with friends. The title is NOT the weirdest thing I've done so far, and I've only been there 2 sessions. :D It's a buttload of fun.

Nothing else new, see y'all!

Bikecurious

That's right, I bought a bike. We had a small accident on the way home...

That's right, it's picture time! This week, very little has happened, apart from getting the bike. I have a new computer mouse, so there's that... Otherwise:

There is this one song, I keep forgetting the lyrics, though... We all occupy a 570–590 nm uboat?
My room. It's small, but it's home.

Just watching a film with Matt, he falls asleep halfway through. I'll just turn off the lights, the TV, and sneak o- Like hell I'm touching that.

HAIL TESCO.
Rather elegant solution to how to do phone lines. I just keep thinking spiders.

Speaking of which... One has taken over my room. It was nice living here, but I guess I will take my leave now. I hear the park's nice to sleep in.

"I love penis"

-- Lisa, my housemate.

So it's all getting better. My firepoi have arrived, and I can't wait to try them out. But I saw armored police cars not long ago, and a 20-something guy walking by with a bottle of lighter fluid in the middle of a rough night might attract the wrong kind of attention, so I'll wait with getting that.

Today, I had a good day at work, nothing too stressful, and we went down to a café afterwards, a group of 5, mostly swedish people. Just nice relaxing, making jokes, discussing other coworkers. It was good. Today was supposed to be ju jutsu night, but last session, I landed wrong, and my shoulder's been sore since. Didn't want to tempt fate too much, so I'm having a calm week from now on. Otherwise I like ju jutsu - the teacher's always saying "you might recognize this from karate", things like that, it's not that different. Except more throws. Hip toss is so much fun!

We also have a new dog. Logan, a lab, just like Molly. Really nice and friendly, but way too forward, barking, playing, jumping around and licking anyone he feels like. Molly has some company now, and they're adorable together.

It is also nice to know my cooking is appreciated, Lisa wants me to make "that tasty salmon thing" again, which just limits it to most recipes I know... And Matt eats just about anything you put in front of him. So I feel like I'm right where I'm supposed to be right now, I've got a busy life and good people around me. I'll post some fire pictures later, I think. And the dog, of course. Now, sleep... Take care, everyone!

Pizza? Pizza.

Oh boy it's been a pretty good week. Started full of drama, due to the dog situation, but other than that, it's been all good. Monday, I'm going to start martial arts again, I think. Tuesday, going to join a group of people playing games every once in a while, thanks to a work friend, or alternatively spinning fire. We'll see.

Either way, I'm making the company I work for money now. I'm out on the floor, answering emails and answering calls. First call I got was over a bad phone, with a client with an accent and speech impediment. Could have been easier, as I was also SUPER NERVOUS, but at least I helped them in the end. Otherwise it's been pretty boring, VERY few swedish people have problems with their universal remotes.

I am rather proud of yesterday, though. A customer calls, angry and frustrated, having previously talked to someone who took about an hour and a half of his time, and did not fix their problem. Ten minutes later, xe's showering me in gratitude over fixing the problem. So I could get around to solving another problem that weren't fixable before since the first one was in the way. And another after that... Long story short, I had an hour of unexpected overtime that day. But now another client loves us. And I took care of it without having to ask anyone else. Hell yeah I'm awesome.

And Lisa, my housemate... Her sister just had a baby! :D She and Matt could possibly be dancing to Shania Twain right now. Not going to confirm. Matt can't dance.

I have been eating way too much pizza these days, though, need to start cooking on my own more. But I should be getting my bank card next week, so I can use my first paycheck. :D Aww yiss.

Now I'm going to party. See ya!
