Trying something new

I am going to try something new. I got son colour pencils and I will try to draw at least one thing every day.
I did it when I was a kid, always drawing a lot. I wonder why I stopped. Why almost everyone stop.

I know, it is not the most advanced shit you have seen and it would not get me any job as an illustrator, but it makes me calm.


Checking mail

While I am already awake I pull the laptop up on my stomach and check my work mail.
Some days a perfect, just a schedule for the next day. But not today. I see that I will spend a lot of time in front of the laptop today, writing, scratching my head and thinking a lot.

Checking my mail is almost like looking on a extra schedule. Will I only do all the things I planned and that they can call about or do I have extra things? Today is EXTRA things.


Waking up

Most often by a phone that is ringing. With a person on the other side asking me something over the top stupid...



A day...

I did it once last year and now it is time again. One whole day in my life. Join me!
It will be almost in real time all day.

Cool toilet

Now this, is a cool toilet. At leasts I think so.
Added to the list of things I want. A secret garden, a house next to the sea, a balcony to see the sunset...and a toilet with led lights?

Todays bad spellings

I had a brunch today at the Corner Restaurant.
A Turkish breakfast that was, mas o menos to be honest. But the coffee was good, as always. I stumbled upon this menu there and just had to take a picture.

And then, while watching the nights football game between Sweden and Hungary I saw the next nice thing.
I have to admit it, I love these things. Bad spelling in menus can make me smile easily.
Thank you for giving me a good laugh!

Posing

Everyone does it. Pose for a camera, make love to the camera. Some people even practise in front of the mirror to look cool. A mirror look.
And after the picture is taken they go back to normal.
This is what I got when I silently picked up my camera after the picture in the post below was taken. The true, natural picture of people is the ones that are often the best. Right?



Myself I don´t like being in front of the camera at all. The result is never as I thought it would be so I try to stay in the background. But on some rare occasions I get caught on picture and I have even started to like some of the pictures. Strange how you change. Or could it be that I started to like myself more?
I love almost everything with myself, because if someone else could love me, why shouldn´t I do the same? So I do.
Now it´s time for me and my ego to go and have a beer with the crew. Artful Slacker, out!

Coffee

As I told before I went to Secret Garden yesterday. Got myself a really nice cup of coffee. Now there is a taste that is hard to describe, bit it is damn good!
We had a good time, had a good beer and out of the blue I got my future read out of the coffee by the manager of the place.
Really interesting, really scary how spot on it was in many, many ways.
I still think about what he said and I cannot say anything else than that I believe in it. Just have to figure one small thing out about it, that will be exciting.

Oh, no my friends are not imaginary. Let me present Henrik and Claes, my two Swedish compadres.

New day today and the stupidity in the crew is high today. An interesting start that could make this day either good or terrible.

Yesterday

...was a really good day! Good work, even if it was a long day. Good Skype.
Good coffee, good icecream!

Today was fucked up.
When I woke up I felt like Alice must have felt when she fell down the rabbithole. Everything was just strange. Strange calls, strange e-mails. Even stranger questions. Nothing was like it is used to be and no matter how hard I have tried to change it back it is still not back to normal.
Keeping my fingers crossed that it will be better by tomorrow morning. Can't stand one more day of this...
It drives me crazy.

On my way off to Magic Garden now to meet some friends, smoke some waterpipe and get a decent cup of Turkish coffee.

Budapest

I went to Budapest a week ago. To be honest it feels like yesterday, and an eternity at the same time.
Had to leave the country to renew my visa for Turkey and clever as I am I got the trip to Budapest to finally see my girlfriend again. An amazing weekend I tell you. I walked a thousand miles, saw so many beautiful things (not just her), ate fantastic food and drank good. So many experiences. So many memories.















And I wanted to share a little bit of it in pictures.
