Making a mint julep outside.
Now I understand why there are only two gestures, one per ear, for AirPods. My mom, who bought these headphones, will never learn more than one or two of these. The rest will only be a potential mine field of accidental input.
En (väldigt) kort stund för mig själv medan Ebbe sover och Iris vilar.
If I weren’t as tired as I am I’d keep watching for a few more hours but I need to get some sleep.
Linn and me are on our first vacation without the kids since Ebbe was born. Yesterday we hung out with my brother and Sanne and today we’ll be staying at a hotel. Right now, Indian dinner in Mall of Scandinavia.
Exciting things coming up at work!
Most of the time I feel a slight guilt both toward my family and my employer. I feel like I work to much, but I also feel like I don’t work enough. So the idea is the get some kind of data that points toward either, or hopefully neither, of those. So right now I’m tracking the time I am at work or in my home office working, and the time that I commute.
(Yes, I’m probably going to publish quite a few of these today. I think ”procrastination” is the word you
‘re looking for.)
@MrHenko This is one of my all time favorites! When I hear these songs I still see my self on a bike, riding to school, listening to them my walkman. I still know all the lyrics… It’s a magic and special album.
@hutaffe Same here with the bike riding and listening to this. In my case it was a cd walkman. (With 10 seconds of electronic skip protection!) That walkman scratched this cd up so badly that eventually it wasn’t playable anymore so it’s one of the few cds that I’ve bought two copies of.
@hutaffe How do you feel about Garbage’s other albums? For me it’s only the ”The World is not Enough” single that’s stuck with me. Still love the bamd though, just because 2.0 is so incrediby good.
@MrHenko Not Your Kind Of People stuck with me because I heard it a lot on a roadtrip through California with a friend ☺️ The rest of the older stuff is quite good too, but I sadly didn’t really care for. Their latest album is way too weird for me though.
@MrHenko 😆 I had a real cassette walkman. It was a real fancy one because it was basically just as thick as the cassette itself. What a technological piece of art at the time 😉
@hutaffe Cool! Do you still have it?
@hutaffe Given how the roadtrip influenced your regard for Not Your Kind of People, maybe we hold Version 2.0 is such high regard because of those memories of walkmans, bicycles and school. (And the girl that I liked when I was 14. Her name always flickers by in my mind when I listen to this album.)
@hutaffe Wow, I’ve been out of touch with the music lately. I had no idea that they had released anything new after Bleed Like Me. I need to chech this out!
@MrHenko sadly I don’t, but I think this was it… What a beauty! ☺️
@hutaffe Awesome! And it had a remote! My cassette walkman was way less fancy and I don’t remember what brand my cd one was.
@hutaffe No worries, I got the first link working. 🙂
@MrHenko I fail to operate micro.blog today. Reply got lost… It’s always like that with music for me. I even have very good memories about a Crash Test Dummies album 🙈🙉🙊 But I also think that Version 2.0 was their best album by far!
@hutaffe I think Crash Test Dummies was just before ”my time”. Off course I’ve heard the songs but I was just eight years old when the album came out, so it didn’t stick with me.
@MrHenko yeah, I was 10. But it’s true, music that’s special to you in special times of life will stick forever, no matter how bad it is. That’s also why I love music so much. I have countless songs and albums like that. Always great to stumble upon them from time to time ☺️
@hutaffe Indeed! I think that’s the ultimate proof that people of our age are now old enough to be nostalgic. 🙂
@MrHenko @hutaffe We must be rough contemporaries. Love Garbage & am nostalgic now for similar chapter of life reasons. (Also: Green Day & Radiohead) Moved to Madison a decade ago; it’s a bit surreal to drive by the studio where Garbage recorded those first four albums.
@schuth @MrHenko it was such a great time! I guess I will listen to some more music tonight 😉
@schuth @hutaffe Cool! I found Radiohead way later, so they don’t have that same nostalgic shimmer to me. But Basket Case and When I Come Around definitely bring me back to my best friends room, playing Super Empire Strikes Back in the SNES.
Happy and cool in his big sisters old clothes!
Preparing the console and a multitrack for my live sound lecture on Monday. Very impressed by the Yamaha QL1 console.
@schuth I haven’t has brandy on many occasions in my life but it sounds like an interesting way to do it!
@MrHenko It’s pretty good. There are four major variations around the mixer — Sweet (lemon/lime pop), Sour (sour mix) Soda (seltzer), & Press (“Presbyterian,” mix of seltzer & pop). Many different garnishes, too: cherries, olives, pickled mushrooms, Brussels sprouts (really!)…

@MrHenko Death gets some of the absolute best stories and lines of all the Endless. So well written.
@colinwalker I agree completely! Also, there’s something so compelling about the idea of Death looking like a teen goth kid. It’s actually because of Death that I found the Sandman comics. Her appearance is used to describe a person in a song by my favorite band, kent. “You look like Death, Dream’s sister…” (Clumsely translated from Swedish by me.)
@MrHenko Always good when you get cultural references like that 😊
@colinwalker Oh yeah, and I’m a huge sucker for intertextual references in song lyrics.
