I thought of joining for the presale, but have seen lots of reports on Facebook/Reddit about the site being down, payments not going through etc.

Surprised they are doing two Stockholm shows at Tele2/3Arena (max capacity 40 000). But Ullevi (max capacity 75 000) is booked and sold out on 13 June by Swedish artist Håkan Hellström, who might have an optional 4th concert the day after as well considering he sold out 3 Ullevi gigs within a...

Going all in on my board game hobby, I received Fallout: The Board Game (2017) and Sniper Elite: The Board Game (2022) with today's mail. Big fan of the former video-game, never played the latter but it's supposed to be an awesome board game with hidden movement.

Started Rings of Power season 2 today. Really liked the first season, and season 2 seems the same but even bigger and better. Atmosphere, setting, music... All superbly done. Really excited about upcoming the storylines!

Risk was what got me into the hobby. Munchkin was what got me to explore more modern games. Still love those two and will happily play them. Sure they are flawed - but they also captured my attention & imagination from the start, and that isn't something I easily look past. This weekend I...

I have two themed versions, Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Reign of Cthulhu, because I was trying to get people who liked those themes to the table. They're supposed to be really good, light games - but we will see.  Rebellion might be a few steps too heavy for me - I mainly play games within...

I play guitar, read novels (mystery & SF), play board games, some light video gaming (mostly Minecraft), cook & barbecue a bit... Right now board games have been taking up most of my spare time. Ticket to Ride in various versions and expansions and Memoir '44 being the main ones, but I hope to...

Now watching Ørnen - en krimi-odyssé (2004-2006). Possibly the best Nordic crime drama ever produced. Does not exactly hurt that the title sequence is the single best ever in television...

I really tried to rewatch  House after watching The Good Doctor - same showrunner - and while it has the same kind of overall general beats and story structure, I felt the latter did everything so much better. The early seasons of House were great when they aired, but now? Convince to watch the...

Saw Yngwie Malmsteen last night in Uppsala. Great gig and about what you expected from him. 27 Marshall amps on stage and soloing all the time through 1 hour and 40 minutes. A bucket list item checked off.

Crazy weather... After the craziest winter I can remember (often leaving the house meeting temperatures below -20 C going to work, snowing like hell and then next couple of days thawing at +2 C endlessly on repeat November through March) we got no real spring, instead it switched from snow...

Playing Hot Wheels Unleashed (2021) on the Nintendo Switch. Having a lot of fun with this one! A brilliant little arcade racing game. Love the tracks, and the game is just challenging enough.

Read An Apartment in Paris (2017) by Guillaume Musso. Decent crime novel. Not great, not terrible - in between. Reads fast, which is a plus. After trying two books by this guy I get that he's very digestible, but I don't really see any greatness here. Might try another while in a reading slump.

Watched To Catch A Killer (2023). A crime thriller starring Shailene Woodley and Ben Mendelsohn. A great beginning makes way for one of the most forgettable crime-procedurals I've seen. Real shame - first 10 minutes are great. Problems are all in the script, which is even more frustrating.

Watched Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023). Found it to be a very positive experience and a very fun, engaging and entertaining movie. Two thumbs up from me. I'll have another, please.

Yeah, I never play online. Only same screen. Switch is great for that, lots of games that support it.

Ultimate Chicken Horse on the Nintendo Switch. If you haven't played this, it's one of my favourite multiplayer games ever.

I teach high school English in Sweden, and to pass my course my students need to reach CEFR B1 level (Intermediate English) according to the national curriculum. Ready Player One by Ernest Cline for contemporary or Animal Farm by George Orwell for classics are examples of what I would teach...

Read A Prayer for the Crown-Shy (2022) by Becky Chambers. A solarpunk novella... or if you are wondering what the hell that means; a cozy philosophical science fiction story about a human and a robot traveling around the world in a far future setting not doing much else but talking (second part...

Finished The House Across the Lake (2022) by Riley Sager. Started out as a standard, realistic thriller the premise of which we've seen countless times and turned into I-don't-know-what. It maybe works? Entertaining, nonetheless. Also read January Fifteenth (2022) by Rachel Swirsky. A novella...
