No mortal was meant to know such wonder

Tills jag har kommit på hur man för över bilder till datorn utan att använda iTunes får jag hålla mig till gamla bilder.


Dagens låtar:

She said, "I love the night
The day is okay and the sun can be fun
But I live to see those rays slip away"

"I love the night
Theres so much that I can show and give to you
If you will welcome me tonight"

- I Love the Night, Blue Öyster Cult

Gillade faktiskt varenda låt på Spectres. Tänkte att skivan passade, nu när det är halloween och allt. Godzilla, Goin' Through the Motions och Be My Baby hade jag hört innan, så de får inte vara med. Det enda jag inte tyckte om var titeln R. U. Ready 2 Rock, men man kan ju hoppas att det var coolt på 70-talet.

I actually liked every song on Spectres. Thought it was a fitting album, now that it's Halloween and all. I'd already heard Godzilla, Goin' Through the Motions and Be My Baby, so they're not included here. The only thing I didn't like was the title R. U. Ready 2 Rock, but let's hope it was cool in the seventies.

Didn't take no chances, I was a prisoner of doubt

Jag såg Edge of Tomorrow i fredags. I lördags började jag träna. Emily Blunts karaktär i filmen är nog en av mina favoriter någonsin, tillsammans med Hit Girl från Kick Ass och the Bride från Kill Bill. Såg förresten Kick Ass 2 i går, vilket fick mig ännu mer sugen på att träna.


Dagens låtar:

I'm dancing barefoot
Heading for a spin
Some strange music draws me in
Makes me come on like some heroine

- Dancing Barefoot, Patti Smith

Bara kvinnliga sångare i dag.

I watched Edge of Tomorrow last Friday. The day after I started working out. I think Emily Blunt's character in that movie is one of my favorite ever, along with Hit Girl from Kick Ass and the Bride from Kill Bill. I watched Kick Ass 2 yesterday, which made me want to start working out even more.

Only female singers today.

What would you think about me if I bared my soul

Jag läser den andra delen i Sagan om Ringen. Han är bra, Tolkien.

I'm reading The Two Towers. He's good, Tolkien.

Oh, don't you listen to them say, shush them all away

Evil Southern Gentleman

Jag har haft min mobil tillbaka i 26 timmar nu. Jag trodde inte att jag skulle sakna den så mycket, men jag blev så himla glad när jag fick veta att den var lagad. Spotify igen! Instagram! Vill aldrig vara utan dessa. Men det jag har saknat mest är att jag inte har kunna fota det jag vill spara. Jag orkar aldrig skriva ner något, jag tar bara en bild på det istället. Som t.ex. citatet ovan. Mycket bra råd, tycker jag, som man behöver ha i mobilen at all times.

Evil Southern Gentleman är förresten min favoritblogg just nu. Har inte särskilt mycket att göra på jobbet, så jag sitter och läser hans blogg hela dagarna. Är nu på sida 120.


Dagens låtar:







Den första låten var riktigt bra.


---

I've had my phone back for 26 hours now. I didn't think I'd miss it that much, but I was so happy when I found out they'd fixed it. Spotify again! Instagram! I never wanna be without them again. But what I've missed the most is not being able to take a picture of what I want to save. I'm too lazy to write things down, I just take a picture of it instead. Like the quote above. Very good advice, I thought, that you need to have on your phone at all times.

Evil Southern Gentleman is my favorite blog at the moment. I don't have very much to do at work, so I read his blog all day. I'm now at page 120.

I liked the first song of the day.

And if I really wanted to learn something I'd listen to more records

I will never be anyone’s idea of normal. No sandstone institution will elevate my opinions to the status of truth. No industry will ever deem me their ideal: not of beauty, not of personality, not of anything. But I do not care about this, because I know that normal is a lie so I refuse to chase it. I refuse to change a single thing about myself in order to meet a standard that was never set with me in mind. I refuse to think or speak or act in a way that would make me more acceptable to the kinds of people society considers normal because I know what they do not: that the pedestal on which they are perched is a precarious one. Because the other thing about normal, you see, is that it is ever-changing, and the higher one climbs on the backs of the marginalised and dispossessed, the farther one has to fall when the goalposts shift.

Normal is a fiction, and to treat it as reality is to allow its toxicity to permeate our lives, to twist and contort us until we are unrecognisable even to ourselves. Do not strive to be normal; you will destroy the things that are true and valuable and lovable about yourself and you will still get nowhere. Strive instead to be yourself, and let the goalposts shift where they may.

Normal is a curious game, you see. The only winning move is not to play.

Ibland hittar man bloggar där varje inlägg är välskrivet och man bara inte kan sluta läsa. Aaminah Khans blogg är en sådan.



Dagens låtar:









Har i princip bara lyssnat på Royal Republic de senaste dagarna. Läste i en intervju att deras inspiration var Danko Jones och the Hives. Har inte lyssnat så mycket på the Hives, men dagens låtar var ju bra!


---

Sometimes you find blogs where every post is well written and you just can't stop reading. Aaminah Khan's blog is one of those.

I have basically only listened to Royal Republic the past few days. I read an interview where they said that their main inspiration came from Danko Jones and the Hives. I haven't listened much to the Hives, they're pretty good!

Wine for the women who made the rain come

Orlando Bloom i Extras. 

Dagens låtar:

Well, I listen to the wind come howl
Telling me I have to hurry
I listen to the robin's song
Saying not to worry

- On the road to find out

Jag och sambon tittar på Extras nu. Låten som spelas under eftertexterna är så bra, och i dag blev jag färdig att lyssna på den. Tyvärr var den bara en minut lång, men bra i alla fall.


---

Me and my bf are watching Extras, and the song that plays during the credits is really good. Today I finally found out which it is - Tea For The Tillerman by Cat Stevens. Unfortunately it's only one minute long, but it's still good.

But it'll shine when it shines

Så här känner jag mig nuförtiden. Har sökt så många jobb, men inte fått något.

Dagens låtar:

Don't be afraid
If you're all alone
That's how you started
That's how you're gonna go

---

This is how I feel these days. I've applied for so many jobs, but haven't gotten any.

Wipe the madness from my eye

Hear me holler down the mountain side
I'm near the sky blinking at the evil eye
Hear me holler at the city's grind
It stole my soul, just about lost my mind

Dagens låt:

When I see my inner city, child, I'll be walkin' on a cloud

Mitt favoritspel just nu - Hearthstone. Vet egentligen inte varför jag tycker att det är så roligt, det är ju bara ett slags kortspel. Men det är kul, ganska lätt och gratis.


Dagens låtar:

Wind tearin' through the back street
I hear the rhythm of my heartbeat
Rain blowin' to my face
I'm tired of being in the wrong place

Blues knockin' on my back door
I can't jump from the second floor
Turn up the radio higher and higher
Rock and roll music set my ears on fire

When I was stone blue
Rock and roll sure helped me through
When I was stone blue
Rock and roll sure helped me through

Foghat - Stone Blue

Varför har jag aldrig lyssnat på Foghat tidigare? Jag älskade den första låten, och de andra var också riktigt bra.


---

My current obsession is Hearthstone. I don't really know why I like it so much, it's just a strategy card game. But it's fun, pretty easy and free.

Why have I never listened to Foghat before? I loved the first song, and really liked the other ones.

And I have my books to protect me

Dagens låt:

Älskade den. Texten var underbart bra.

---

I loved it. The text was wonderfully good.

REO Speedwagon

You're like the drummer from REO Speedwagon. Nobody knows who you are.

- Employee of the Month

Dagens låt:



Jag har hört många skämt om REO Speedwagon i olika filmer, men jag förstår inte varför alla skämtar om dem. Jag tycker att de är rätt bra.


---

I've heard many jokes about REO Speedwagon i several movies, but I don't understand what's so funny about them. I think they're pretty good.

Nameless Wildness

And I love you,

'Cause you're my nameless wildness

Dagens låtar:





Inte jättebra, inte jättedåligt, men inget jag tror att jag kommer att lyssna på igen. Titeln Nameless Wildness kan dock vara det finaste jag har hört.

---

Not great, not terrible, but not something I think I'll ever listen to again. The title Nameless Wildness, however, might be the most beautiful I've heard.

Good God, he's not a natural man

 

Dagens låtar:

I dag lyckades jag hitta bra grejer. Steppenwolf kommer jag nog att lyssna mycket på framöver.

---

Today I hit the jackpot. I really liked both songs, but especially The Pusher. I'm probably going to listen to a lot more Steppenwolf from now on.

 

Good Gravy

Jag är inte särskilt bra på att laga mat, det smakar nästan aldrig lika gott som jag vill att det ska göra. Men i dag lyckades jag med såsen, den blev så himla god! Kanske finns det hopp för mig också.


Dagens låtar:





De var helt okej. Sånt man kan lyssna på när man vill ta det lugnt.


---

I'm not very good at cooking, the food almost never tasts as good as I would like it to. But today I managed to make awesome gravy, it tasted so good! Maybe there's hope for me too.

Today's songs were okay. The stuff you might listen to when taking it easy.

ABC - Always Be Cool

Jag har hittat ett nytt favoritprogram. Program där de visar olika klipp brukar ofta vara ganska tråkiga, eftersom programledarna är tråkiga. Men här det Mr. T som kommenterar, och han gör allt mycket roligare.

---

I've found a new favorite show. Shows with different video clips in them are usually pretty boring to watch, since the hosts are boring. But Mr. T is commenting these videos, and he makes everything much funnier.

Damn it man, I'm a doctor, not a physicist!

Igår såg jag Star Trek-filmen från 2009. Jag älskade den. Vet inte varför jag tycker så mycket om Sherlock Holmes-liknande karaktärer med dålig social kompetens, men det gör jag.

---
Yesterday I watched the Star Trek movie from 2009. I loved it. I don't know why I love Sherlock Holmes-type characters with low social skills so much, but I really do.

El Duderino

I den här videon hittar man två saker som jag verkligen gillar, Creedence Clearwater Revival och The Big Lebowski. Låten i filmklippet är en av mina absoluta favoriter, blir glad varje gång jag hör den.

The Dude: Let me explain something to you. Um, I am not "Mr. Lebowski". You're Mr. Lebowski. I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.

---

This video combines two things that I love, Creedence Clearwater Revival and The Big Lebowski. The song in the clip is one of my absolute favorites, it makes me happy every time I hear it.

Fog

The fog comes
on little cat feet.

It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.

- Carl Sandburg 

I'm a shepherd

Chevy Chase är en av mina favoritskådisar. Jag läser hans biografi nu och kom på att jag faktiskt inte har sett särskilt många av hans filmer. Anledningen är väl att han inte verkar ha gjort särskilt många bra såna, men de som är bra är ju så himla bra!

Klippet ovan, och kommentarerna nedan, är från Fletch. Bland det roligaste i filmen är alla konstiga namn som Fletch (Chevy) slänger sig med.

Receptionist: May I help you Dr...?
Fletch: Oh, it's me, Dr. Rosenpenis. I'm just here to check out Alan Stanwyk's file.
Receptionist: Dr. who?
Fletch: Dr. Rosenrosen, I'm here to get to the records room.
Receptionist: What was that name again?
Fletch: It's Dr. Rosen, I want to check the records room.
Receptionist: Dr. who?
Fletch: Dr. Rosen. Where's the records room?

Pan Am Clerk: I'm afraid there is someone sitting next to you.
Fletch: Oh, for... God dawd dawd! Who is it, Mr. Sinlindin?

Gail Stanwyck: What are you doing here?
Fletch: I ordered some lunch.
Gail Stanwyck: You ordered it here?
Fletch: Well, I knew this is where my mouth would be.

But the war's still going on, dear

Källa

Ångest. Jag är så trött på att ha ångest. Men det finns sånt som hjälper. Det som funkar för mig är bl.a. tv-serien Monk och låtar som Veteran of the Psychic Wars - Blue Öyster Cult.

You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars
I've been living on the edge so long
Where the winds of limbo roar
And I'm young enough to look at
And far too old to see
All the scars are on the inside
I'm not sure if there's anything left of me

Don't let these shakes go on
It's time we had a break from it
It's time we had some leave
We've been living in the flames
We've been eating up our brains
Oh, please don't let theses shakes go on

You ask me why I'm weary, why I can't speak to you
You blame me for my silence
Say it's time I changed and grew
But the war's still going on dear
And there's no end that I know
And I can't say if we're ever...
I can't say if we're ever gonna to be free

Don't let these shakes go on
It's time we had a break from it
It's time we had some leave
We've been living in the flames
We've been eating out our brains
Oh, please don't let theses shakes go on

You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars
My energy's spent at last
And my armor is destroyed
I have used up all my weapons and I'm helpless and bereaved
Wounds are all I'm made of
Did I hear you say that this is victory?

Don't let these shakes go on
It's time we had a break from it
Send me to the rear
Where the tides of madness swell
And been sliding into hell
Oh, please don't let shakes go on
Don't let these shakes go on
Don't let these shakes go on
