Electricity

Check out this video that came to my attention the other day. It was actually made by a friend of a friend in Sweden, and looking at the snowy cityscape, the tunnelbana and the beautiful aura that Stockholm has, makes me miss Stockholm and Sweden even more than I currently do, but I'm excited to go back in August.

I was hoping to display the video on this post but Blogger is stupid and won't let me paste the Embed code from Vimeo, so here is the link. Hope you enjoy!:

The thoughts of a loveless man

I guess my blog is receiving the minimalistic treatment. I honestly am sorry for this, I wanted to make this blog become something but it's not really going that way. I just have too much on at the moment - a 5,000 word essay due Friday that I haven't even started, a severe lack of money and too many things to pay out for, big decisions to make, people to think of and BBC adaptations of bestselling books that are breaking my heart. I'm also trying to gun for the 'Summer of Fun' approach this year. I refuse to spend yet another Summer sat in an office, working 40/50 hours a week, counting down the days until each weekend and not enjoying myself. After Easter I'm going to keep working hard and hopefully spend my Summer travelling around Sweden, I need goals, I need motivation. I miss my mum.

That's all I want to say tonight. So I'll finish the post with a beautiful piece of work from the God that is Ludovico Einaudi. Enjoy your week.

Virgin post

tumblr was... doing my head in, to put it nicely. so i've decided to defect over to blogspot. turns out i had an account on here that i made during summer 2008 - who'd have thunk it? it was mainly full of angst-ridden ramblings about a certain gentleman so that was quickly deleted (but apparently i can 'undelete it' for up to 90 days so it's kind of lingering around like a ghost, or a bad smell). i come home for christmas in about a week and a half and i'm very excited for central heating, power showers, triple glazing, decent cheese, mulled wine & steak e.g. everything i cannot afford. my online swedish lessons start on wednesday and i'm excited to be serious about learning a new language (if an unconventional one) so i don't come across as some uncultured swine when i venture outside of the UK. i must, must, must go back to stockholm in 2012 even if it kills me, and i'm rather excited for what delights blogspot/blogger/shut up will bring me.
