…one of the guys on the racing team said “…this might be a game for you” and I have to agree… I think I have to get it when it comes out. (although I always say that and I never do…) And here is a video if you wanna have a look.

You know me, a sucker for anything remotely related to martial arts, swords and ninjas in general.

Look - cute lethal Samurai enemy:

…and here is a way too long P.S./endless rambling on my everlasting obsession with karate kids and ninjas…

I’m so incredibly fascinated by people (or animals, like police dogs) who are ridiculously skilled beyond my wildest imagination. Those who have devoted most of their time - and life - to becoming the best they can be (ok so the dogs don’t really make those decisions for themselves…but still). It’s amazing to see how far one can get by dedication, will power and serious training. And, I guess, a sensible diet, running, mental exercise, no drinking or smoking, probably no coffe, no lazy-Sundays-on-the-sofa, no popcorn…

Am I jealous? Yes and no. I want to be a next-to-superhero, but I also want the popcorn-and-coffe-diet. And the long hours on the sofa, stretched out while reading about people doing stuff in places I’m never gonna go or I might be watching a movie, most likely some big time romance or superheroic worldsaving.

For some reason I don’t want to surrender the idea of one (wo)man’s potential impact on the world, how we all can make a difference, the constant struggle between good and evil and how we can choose sides, that it actually pays off to do the right thing… Maybe it’s just part of the human nature, dreaming of better worlds and being extraordinary in a life where you actually learn to appreciate life being stuck on repeat from time to time…

The Day After Yesterday

So there was a Christmas party yesterday. We drank, we played, we Spotified, we cheered, we ate, we drank some more, we danced… And here we are, looking awfully bright and perky if I might say so myself. (thank God there is Helena Rubinstein Magic Concealer to cover up the tiredness. makeup is my best friend)

One of the events was a PS cup that Powdersnow - of course - won.

(Sipwell might claim he would have won had he only been invited, but that’s a different story.)

Proud winner of the office Power Racing tournament was… Erik H! Power to the racingteam! My guys truly are the best… And they’re happy too!

(notice the mega cool five of a kind t-shirt that Per S m-a-d-e for the event)

Then there was some Guitar Hero action and for the first time ever I beat Erik in a game, something I guess will never happen again.

(I actually beat Josef too, come to think of it…)

Here follows some random evidence of friendship, joy and beer:

Then we left the office and went to Platå, a restaurant/night club in Linköping where we had some food,  glögg, beer and cocktails.

Quality dude meets code dude.

Code dude happened to grab Emperor of Fun’s nose

From all of us, to all of you - a very, merry Christmas!

Ok, I think I’m way more excited about this than you can imagine. This just might be the coolest thing ever. Based on no facts whatsoever but some hearsay (from much reliable source) and my own download/installation/first user experience spotify is the next big thing.

We’re talking world domination - unless they get sold and bought and lose their soul to…some major company.

It’s music. For free. In an instant. Legally. It’s basically Santa’s toy factory where everything you’ve always wanted is within reach.

Check it out. Now.
