Step forward and glance down

My neighbouring building, the ugliest in Sundsvalls stenstad. Although I must admit that it's quite photogenic. Don't forget to click the picture to view it in a larger format.

Skylight Plant

Being home sick for the third day with a brand new DSLR is starting to get frustrating. Im running out of stuff to shoot in my apartment :). Ok this is one of the more exciting ones. It's the plant I have in one of my skylight windows. It's really fun playing around with shallow DOF (depth-of-field).

EDIT: I saw The Butterfly Effect yesterday. It rocked! Make sure you see the directors cut - it's better (IMO).

EOS350D/Reznor/Cirera

After a couple of weeks of figurately living at the forums of dpreview.com and fotosidan.se I finally ordered and received an EOS350D. This photo is taken with it and only moderately sharpened, no need to do much more. In short - the camera rocks! Expect to see more photos from now on, altough I would much like a better place to share them than in this small format.

I also finally received my deluxe edition of The Downward Spiral - it also rocks! It really lends itself to 5.1 digital sound.

Another record I really would like to recommend to anyone reading this blog is Cirera - Honestly, I love you *cough*. This must be the ultime break-up record (or boy-gets-cheated-and-dumped-by-girl record). If the album title wasn't enough you have song titles as "Motherfucker - Fake Ex-vegetarian girlfriend", or "Dog - Girls are such a drag" and each song features brilliant lyrics. This guy gets everything right because nearly all songs are really good music-wise too. Check it OUT.

Lacking punch, but still..

My damn computer speakers at work broke down sometime last week so I haven't been able to listen to music as much as I usually do. But I have listened to the new Kent album a couple of times now and I must say that I'm a little bit relieved. This is a Kent album. Guns & Ammo wasn't.

My still initial impression is that this is an album with some songs similar to Hagnesta Hill-songs but with the sound from Isola. And this is where I think the album is a bit lacking, there is no "punch" were there should/could be. I would have preferred the sound from Hagnesta Hill on this album. But maybe I'll change my mind after listening to it more.

All in all, it will be fun and nice to finally see Kent live again this summer at their opening consert in Gothenburg. Then I will have seen them performing live at least once after each album release besides Guns & Ammo and the debut.

The local "Expert"-store in Sundsvall had a brand new Canon EOS 350D in so I went in to fiddle around with it a bit. It IS small, maybe even a little bit too small. But we wanttsss ittt...

"2Unlimited Hit"-Holdem Poker

I sat down for the first time at a $25 NL table yesterday at Party (it was so much my first time that I don't even know what the $25 means. Maximum bet $25?). I was a whimp and only went in with $15 that I had won just before at my old trusty 2-tables-0.5/1.

My first hand ever in no limit: KK. My heart started pumping. The flop - KJT. WTF! What to do? I raise a couple of bucks. No idea how much in the pot or what position Im in. Got called by one or two players (suckers? he/they might have a very nice straight draw to call). The turn: Q. Arrhg I cant believe this. Bet some more cash money. Put on my sun-glasses (no i didn't). And so the river: A. I type in the chat-box: "UNBIELEIVBLE!" [sic] and check, frustrated that I have to split the pot that was so rightfully mine! The other guy flips over AT. Oops.. glad that river ace showed up.

Anyway, I was up to $22 bucks before I raised with top-pair Qs and got reraised and went all-in because I only had five bucks left (what?!) and then I was out (re-raiser had pocket Ks). It was fun but Im glad it wasn't too fun because I don't want to get caught in it. I'll stick to fixed limit and try to up my stack to $0.3k (hehe) before I move up to $1/$2.
