    Just the Journal



    Colour me miserable, matey.

    Monday, 28 April 2008 3:13 P GMT+01
    Is there anything quite as annoying as a spring cold? Especially after one has gone "cold-free" all winter long? I don't think so!

    How did I survive so long without an iPod?!

    Thursday, 24 April 2008 9:35 A GMT+01
    Despite being a dedicated Mac user and a gadget-addict all my adult life, I have always (inexplicably, really) resisted the pull of the iPod.

    Monday morning mindfulness

    Monday, 7 April 2008 10:50 A GMT+01
    Little did I know that leaving The Penthouse-Nordic for the gym without my keys this morning was just the tip of the iceberg!

    Little brothers are for pounding!!!

    Tuesday, 1 April 2008 4:38 P GMT+01
    I survived April Fools Day with out being pranked...save this e-mail message from my brother in the US.

    'Springing Forward' sorta sucks

    Sunday, 30 March 2008 12:55 P GMT+01
    I know the switch to Daylight Savings Time is a sure sign that summer is just around the corning (in fact, Swedes actually call it" Summer Time"), but losing that hour on Saturday night is kind of a pain when you have the laundry room booked at 7 am.

    Sweden screws with yet another holiday tradition

    Tuesday, 25 March 2008 12:38 P GMT+01
    Easter Weekend was a four-day affair here in Vikingland since both Good Friday and Easter Monday are official holidays.

    Bette Porter drinks coffee...probably black, and lots of it

    Wednesday, 12 March 2008 4:08 P GMT+01
    I've been hesitant to update this blog for the past couple days because I know doing so will push the inspired photo of Jennifer Beals (as Bette Porter) in Monday's post further down the page.

    Oh MY. (Gratuitous Angelina shot)

    Tuesday, 4 March 2008 9:55 A GMT+01
    That's all I have to say, really.

    Chocolate lessons for Valentine's Day

    Thursday, 14 February 2008 5:48 P GMT+01
    Blogger Tim Ferriss recently took a serious look at my favorite food group.

    Monday morning mammography

    Monday, 14 January 2008 10:41 P GMT+01
    Okay, so I can think of a lot better ways to start a week. But at least this mammographical experience was a lot better than my first one.

    Entry extravaganza!

    Monday, 17 December 2007 11:34 P GMT+01
    My 11 loyal readers, especially those who subscribe to my musings by RSS feed or e-mail, have probably noticed a bit of a jump in the number of posts over the last 24 hours.

    Buh-bye double vision

    Tuesday, 20 November 2007 11:34 P GMT+01
    God willing and the creek don't rise, the evil tumor will be excised from my head tomorrow morning. Sadly, my right eye will have to go with it. But given that I haven't been able to see much out of it since mid-October, I doubt I'll missi t much.

    The Mothership Returns

    Friday, 16 November 2007 6:36 P GMT+01
    My Mom arrived from the U.S. yesterday afternoon to help see me through my upcoming surgery and convalescence. Sound like a fun trip, or what?!

    E-Day is November 19

    Friday, 9 November 2007 8:39 P GMT+01
    I spoke to my local eye doctor yesterday and she put me on her surgical schedule for November 19, which will give my Mom enough time to get here from the U.S. and re-set her body clock before I go under the knife. Surprisingly, my doc had yet

    Why don't glasses have windshield wipers?

    Wednesday, 7 November 2007 4:21 P GMT+01
    I have new respect for people who wear glasses...especially on rainy days.

    "You like me! You REALLY like me!"

    Okay, so Sally Field didn't say *exactly* those words during her acceptance speech at the Oscars in 1984, but that is EXACTLY how I've felt courtesy of the many wonderful messages of support and encouragement sent my way the past few days.

    I wasn't really using that eye anyway...

    Friday, 2 November 2007 6:09 P GMT+01
    Regular readers have surely noticed my lack of engagement with this blog for the last few weeks, and I think I'm finally ready to tell the back-story of October, which was probably the longest month of my life.

    Texting Casablanca

    Friday, 26 October 2007 8:05 A GMT+01
    A couple of my siblings have recently added text messaging to their mobile phone contracts. (Unlike most of Europe, SMS is a separate service in the U.S. that has to be activated in order to work on your phone.)

    When SPAM goes ironic

    Saturday, 29 September 2007 7:24 P GMT+01
    Everyone once in awhile I take a troll through my junk mail folder just to make sure that no legitimate messages have ended up there by mistake.

    Overdue R&R Weekend

    Saturday, 22 September 2007 7:28 A GMT+01
    It's been a wonderfully relaxing Saturday...just what we both needed after battling colds, bad weather and long work days all week. Dr. Darling and I had a delightfully lazy morning, followed by errand-running in gorgeous sunshine this afternoon.

    Bookends of stupidity...

    Monday, 10 September 2007 1:51 P GMT+01
    Since I started the weekend by doing something super stupid...it seemed somehow cosmically unavoidable that I would start the work-week off (my first full one since being on vacation) doing something equally moronic.I was getting ready to head out th

    Letter home...

    Tuesday, 28 August 2007 8:03 A GMT+01
    I helped my Mom writer a rather length e-mail to my brother yesterday morning. Not because she isn't capable herself of doing it by herself, but because the Swedish keybord on our Windoze machine gives her fits.

    So much to blog, so little time...

    Monday, 20 August 2007 8:40 A GMT+01
    I don't know how many times I've complained about that fact that a lot of my best material for blogging occurs when I have the least amount of time available to blog it.It's one of those "nature of the beast" situations, I guess.

    Still laughing like a Geisha

    Thursday, 16 August 2007 1:09 P GMT+01
    I have a summer cold that is hanging on for dear life and it's really starting to piss me off. Mostly because I know I've probably contributed to its tenaciousness by my refusal to take it seriously.

    Starting the day off in the wrong pants

    Tuesday, 14 August 2007 8:45 A GMT+01
    Evidently newly re-arranged closets, combined with cold medicine and an alarm clock that goes off at 5 a.m., is a recipe for complete wardrobe break-down.
