going nowhere fast

The last few days I've been ANGRY for no reason. It's been sunny and warm but I've been walking around like a dark cloud. Sending people angry looks and most of all I've wanted to just lock myself in my room and not let anyone in. It's silly, I hate being angry and not having a reason why. Been trying to figure out why and I guess this is what I came up with: 1. My economic situation. It's okay now but I feel like I reaally have to hold on to my money this month, since I don't know yet if I'll have a job this summer. I hate having to worry about money. 2. The whole V. situation. I try not to think about it but it still bothers me lots. 3. That cdon.com is the crappiest ever. I've ordered two cds that i've been waiting for for a long time now. Remind me not to order cds from them again, even if I have discount codes. 4. Students. The majority of students here in Lund are so lame. There's three or four places where I feel comfortable, the rest of the time I feel like student life isn't really for me. Some things are so stupid. Like there's a carnival coming up this month (Lundakarnevalen) and it's probably going to be insane. Lots of drunk and loud students in the city 24/7.

This weekend, however, I intend to have the best of times. Tonight I'm going to see Dressy Bessy and Casiotone for the painfully alone at my favorurite students' club and tomorrow I'm going to a housewarming party. Sunday is my dad's 50th birthday. Oh and tomorrow me and some friends are going to have a picnic in the sun!

I wish so badly that I'll have the money and time to travel up to Popaganda. It'd be great.

Snow.

My street looks like a postcard today.

Music & stuff

(How come every time I decide to write an entry here, it suddenly feels like I have nothing to say when in fact I've thought about thousand of things to write before?)

Reading best-of-lists for 2005 makes me realize which cds I should have bought this year but so far haven't: New Pornographers (& I should've seen them in Manchester), Okkervil River (saw them live in Manchester), Broken Social Scene (although it was just released so I've still got time), Of Montreal etc... However, I don't really get some hyped bands - what's the deal with Antony & the Johnsons, really? Okay, so Hope There's Someone is quite pretty but I still can't stand his voice. Summary of 2005: I didn't buy enough new cds, as usual. Will have to buy some of them in 2006, which means I'll most likely fall behind on albums from 2006....uh-oh. (Will probably post my list of favourite albums/songs/whatever from 2005 pretty soon.)

Håkan Hellström has done a cover of Big Star's song 13 and I like it so much I've been thinking about the original. What's it like, any good?

Three days until Christmas and I've bought almost all of the gifts I need to. Went into town yesterday and all the shops played lousy Christmas music, made my ears go all itchy. Christmas songs always seem so fake. My dad bought a Christmas cd with the McGarrigle clan (Kate & Anna, Rufus Wainwright etc) yesterday though and I must say it sounds okay.

Today I met two friends two discuss our new flat! I'm moving in less than two weeks' time and I must say I have a good feeling about it. Being back in Lund felt a bit strange today, but in a good kind of way (I think). I'm trying to keep my expectations down though, as always.

+ This seems quite interesting, don't you think? It's a good idea anyway.

....do it
