The Story So Far

Howdy, bathtub-shitters!

It's been more than a month and a half in Munich now, thought I'd give you a look into it.

It's funny how fast you adapt and develop new routines; a new everyday. It's the transgressive period of, say, one month that might be a bit tough and you feel a bit lost. Once you've passed that stage, it's almost like nothing changed, and I guess I am there now. And, all in all, I think I like it.

What I've seen so far of the city - which isn't all that much due to a up-to-here pretty heavy workload - is predominantly positive. I like Munich more for every day elapsed.

For instance, the weather is most often lovely, sunny 18 C today and the city centre is beautiful; a typical Central European one with some bombastic old buildings, riddled with ornaments and other middle age megalomania attributes which you can't help but adore. People - there's a lot of them! Munich is bigger than I remember from my previous visits - also seem to be nice. The Scandinavian habit of complaining on everything that's not meeting your expectations or demands doesn't really seem to be quite as present here. Which, of course, is good.

So I've been busy working. Working in various respects. The Job is quite shitty to be frank, in particular the late shifts (every second week or so) when you start wondering if spare time is nothing but a governmental hoax. A few aimable colleagues might make me withstand this for a while, though.

Apart from that the first few weeks were very hectic laying down the last on the thesis. Then the usual missions for Sweden Rock kept me nailed to the keyboard for another while. Have also, when my schedule has allowed me, been helping my beloved Göran with obtaining some Bavarian brew connaissance /alcoholism. And you can't really blame him, this hype is true; Bavaria is indeed a beer paradise and the different brews are as many as good tasting.

Explorations of the surroundings are loosely planned, and there's a lot to see and do around, at least that's what people keep on telling me. The only place I've visited so far outside Munich is the KZ in Dachau and that scary place sent some chilly shivers down my spine for sure. But, anything that touches is good and, as stated, there are obviously more places where you can kill hangovers. Just have to check out The Alpes soon.

Angst Isst die Seele Auf

What is a blog without regular updates?

We're still waiting for that goddamn Internet connection, hence still cut off from the outer world. You do feel very handicapped being offline. Now isn't that a bit tragic?

Saw Misery Index and a few other badass grind acts last week. Totally awesome. Just can't help but worship the immense power they're generating on stage.

Also did a few interviews the last couple of days; Max Cavalera, Within Y and Thorium. Check them out. SRM will be celebrating #50, which means I've made my contributions to 46 f*ckin issues. Never thought I'd be their slave for that long.

Dismember and Hatesphere coming up at the Metropolis tomorrow. Will be a lot of fun.

Until next time: inget bajs i maten nu!

Yours truly.
