3 days, three adventures
Tuesday: The being the annual fetisdagen where each and every bakery sell lots and lots of semlor around in Sweden. Of course I had to get my own share of semlor this year. The local newspaper had given one bakery the "best of our test" nomination to the smallest and cheapest semla. Wether or not the price determined the ability for it winning the test was soon to be revealed. The bakery was easy to find but when I got there they had run out of semlor. 30 more minutes. Since I had been downtown for quite some time already I steered my path to another bakery I knew further away. As soon as I entered it another customer talked about the bad grade this place's semlor had gotten by the test with the baking master. I still bought a semla from that place, then I went back to the first place. The line was out on the streets! Talk about being hectic for a couple of semlor and it must be because of the test and the price. Two semlor for 20 SEK. It sure will sell as butter in the middle of sahara. My conclusion of my own test comparing "the worst" with "the best" is that both worked. I would like another semla still though.
On my way home I saw a familiar face. It was a friend I hadn't seen since 3 or four years ago. We talked about what we where doing, what we had done and our ambitions. Apparently he have bought several books on national economy of the Austrian school for 8000 SEK. "A bit half-eccentric" was his comment on the situation. (How the friends I used to have in school have changed all those years since we last met is stunning. He is into economy just like me but in a totally different field.) Then he told me about doing värnplikt in the military. It was nothing for him. Too much stress all the time for example. He's starting to get grey hair, which is also very stunning. It was sure nice to see him.
Wednesday: Working day. It was possibly a bad idea since I felt quite at the low spot this day. Even though the drilling stopped I kept my earplugs the whole day because most of the noise is close to inhumane. Things like screaming kids, bleeps, just to name a few, makes you go quite crazy. Then we got tons of people buying stuff that day. Lines all the way downtown sort of. I was asked to stay 30 minutes extra and so I did. The safe where I would put my reciepts and unsold lottery tickets didn't let me in because I accidently put in the wrong code several times in a row. I got to get home instead of waiting for it to open thanks to my nice co-workers who would fix it.
When I get home from my work I either get working on something creative, go to sleep directly or check out the web. Lately I've watched tons of Naruto episodes. It is quite addicting to be honest. I used to have a very shallow look on anime and manga once. These days I am quite open to certain styles of anime and manga, but not everything. What interests me more with this "project" is the thought on shallowness. I used to be really shallow long time ago too. It is quite tiresome to think about it but also to think about the "shallowness signals" I tend to send out these days too. Working on my "shallowness" is a part of my interest in becoming a better person, a new me, to simply change. I hope it works. My knowledge on shallowness is quite, well, shallow itself.
Thursday: Not only being the day of the chinese new year, but also my father's mother's birthday, it would be some sort of festivities. Me and my cousin helped. We also talked about this and that while eating cookies, helping the guests, waiting for time to go by and so on. I saw some interesting books at my grandmother's home. One on China from the 80's and a couple of (thick-thick-thick) books on gardening and a couple of other books that just caught my "personal novelty sensation interest". Now I am home and it will be followed by a couple of more Naruto episodes. Then comes sleep.
