Nearly over

The Simpsons marathon that is. A few more episodes left....

Just thought I'd share my activities planned for tomorrow: they involve snow and a board. If you put it all together what do you get? No, not broken limbs, incredible amounts of pain and a trip to the hospital. You get one of the best things there is in life, no not ironing in the snow (wow, that was tastless), but snowboarding.

Yes folks, it'll be my maiden voyage this season to Kungsberget, yes truelly the Kings Mountain. As I snuck off (well not really, I'm working Monday) from the Xmas goings on, I thought I'd hit the slopes for a pre-Sälen trip (first Sunday in January 2010- that sounds weird).

I found an okayish video from the place, bear in mind this is just the park, but to be honest it isnt soo much bigger (well kind of). Anyways, it's just to get you in the mood.....

So it begins

At least Swedish TV is good. 10 hours of Simpsons today, starting now.......

p.s. I shall write a better Xmas message soon

Squash (again)

Well no report for the last 'Seriespel' match (well at least yet). Not that really anyone knows anything about squash but the last big tournament of the season (on the pro circuit), the Saudi International, has just finished- the final a stunning (just short of) two hours of intense squash between the top 2 guys (form at the moment) in the world. There was lots at stake, besides the biggest pay cheque: the number one in the world spot. This in layman's terms was the Federer-Nadal final, between two incredibly talented guys, Nick Matthew and Ramy Ashour. It's almost impossible to understand how intense squash at this level is, that despite its stereotype, is most definitely not for the upper class businessmen, not willing to get there whites dirty. On that note, check out this little beauty of a clip from a few years ago.



p.s. Ramy won 3-2, world no.1 at 22 aint half bad.....
