It's been a few days since last time: we rocked out to Alter Bridge in Stockholm last Wednesday. After a slight problem with my bladder control, Lina took over the driving (you can ask if you really want to know) and we arrived safely, not quite on time (we prob missed like 3 songs from support group Logan).
It's a potential shame that these guys don't get the kudos they deserve- Well not entirely true, as with most things, they are big in the states. However there probably werent more than 1000ish people so it was a kind of personal concert. I could go on for a while about how great they are but I won't. Just check them out on you tube or whatever: Myles Kennedy has a fantastic voice and Mark Tremonti could be considered a God in human form (as well as Terje Haakonsen, Al Bundy and Homer Simpson).
Well apart from the concert, the main focus is finishing off the pad downstairs: it's potentially like 98% done- we need an electrician to give us a few more sockets and put some new light switches on (as my physics isn't what it used to be). Most of our clothes etc are now down there, yawn yawn etc.
On a food related note, I had my departments Julbord last night. Contrary to a real Julbord, we had from a set menu: I munched on cheescake (with actual cheese) for starters, awesomly tender lamb for main and a citrus pie with white choc mousse.....mmm mmm mmm. We had a kind of table divide with 2 tables: 1 with Professors, 1 with Post-docs and PhDs (and me of course), which probably saved the evening as us poor students didn't take a Prof bashing (you know, 'back in my day we had to do......' Yes, we are useless, get over it).
Right now my noggin is struggling (need food!) so will be quiet very soon. Have to mention that Kungsberget is now open! Get in. I'll be on the white stuff soon: if all goes smoothly with timing this weekend (moving day 21st), could be out rippin on Saturday.
No jokes, sayings, anything good to finish this off. Brain no work if no food (don't use this sentence for grammar purposes- you get my point though.)
