Congratulations to Tobias who finished the cross country competition Vasaloppet in under nine hours<\/a>. That’s 90 kilometers (56 miles) on skis. And it was done on a dare, so congratulations on being manly about it.<\/p>\n

I’m updating the old blog posts to fit in with the 640 pixel style I’m sporting now, and find myself being embarrassed about some of the stuff I wrote. Even more full of myself than I am now, pretentious and whiny. Can’t believe people wanted to hang out with me – I<\/em> would have been annoyed with me. And I never capitalise any<\/em> letters! What’s up with that? Some of the old links are dead, but I’m not going to update those for fear of disturbing the fossil record.<\/p>\n

It occured to me that I should improve upon myself more actively. Or if not improve per se<\/em>, then at least try something else on for a while. Not drinking for a month? Draw for half an hour each day? Publish an hour-by-hour record of my day every evening, so as to find out where all those hours disappear?<\/p>\n

Like: 13:00-14:00 – Checked email five times, read about mosquitos then malaria then Egypt then pyramids then about DIY stone masonry.<\/em> If I linked to anything interesting I find, would you like it or does it sound shit? For me it would be sort of a self-exploration type of thing; I don’t use the time of day properly and would like to get more out of it. I go for runs and prepare the school work that me and Ana are doing at Chalmers, but that’s about it. I’m not really being an active agent of my own destiny<\/em> and could use the extra push of being accountable.<\/p>\n

Fuck it, I’m going to try the non-drinking thing. As of Saturday 28th February I’m not drinking booze for a month. I managed to go to a bar and drink nothing but the non-alcoholic beer for an evening. It’s odd how you look at others when when you’re sober and they are not. It goes a long way to explain why straight edge people and Christians can be such obnoxious twats – seeing people getting sloshed and blurry can get tiresome, I imagine.<\/p>\n
