We ended up skipping the egg painting at GothCon, there was some done at home yesterday morning. I did the one below, copying text from the Swedish Wikipedia article Påskägg ("Easter egg").

About two weeks ago, I presented on this blog a sort of playlist thing, The Numbers Project 29 : Musicopoetic Alphabet. It is really a list of albums, listed alphabetically by the names of the performers in a way that'll make librarians cringe but that let me have each represent a different letter in the Swedish version of the latin alphabet (with ( Read more... )

I notice that last week's old Swedish poem was an unintended reprise. Let's pretend I published this one instead:

Makaber gåtaHan hoppade från tredje våningen ( Read more... )

I promised I'd make an English translation of the abstract of my role-playing paper - and here it is! It was quite fun, at not entirely as difficult as I'd imagined. I still don't really have a translation of "kombinerad c- och d-uppsats i Svenska språket", so I'll just have to try and explain... It's an undergraduate level paper... a pretty big ( Read more... )

(To those of my readers, if I have any, who do not read Swedish: I have started to alternate between writing in Swedish and English. Next week, it will be English again. In the meantime, enjoy the nice pictures.)

My paper ("kombinerad C- och D-uppsats i Svenska språket", if anyone's got a good English translation I'll be needing it in two weeks, see below) on the use of language in tabletop role-playing games is now ( Read more... )

Some notes in Swedish ( as announced last week) for what I guess will take up a lot of space in this blog when I find time to write it "for real". (This I wrote this Tuesday, certainly not intending to publish it in this form, but now I don't have time to do anything else with it, and as I've promised to start writing about the trip...)

A sestina in Swedish partly in response to Marie's comment in the shoutouts post of two weeks ago, which said among other things that she wouldn't mind if I wrote some more poetry, if I wanted to. (All readers, once again: I take requests for this blog. I'm grateful for them if I can get them, I like the concept and I'm interested in what I can do ( Read more... )
