Those who know me know that I'm not very fond of shopping, it's actually more of a dislike. Grocery shopping is ok, it can even be fun sometimes. But shopping for clothes can be such a pain that I tend to avoid it most of the time (which is then of course reflected in a not very interesting wardrobe). Today however, by pure chance, I happened upon a shoe sale. I wouldn't normally have gone in, thinking my old shoes were good enough, but mom was with me (we were out grocery shopping this afternoon) and pointed out that it wouldn't hurt to look... to make a not so long story shorter, I found a pair of very nice brown leather boots that could have been made for my feet and were put down from 1300 SEK to 300 (it's seven something to the US dollar I think, you do the math). The fact that they fit so well on my feet might be why they couldn't sell them at a higher price, since that would kind of mean that they'd hardly fit on anybody elses ;). In any case, I'm very glad to have found them.

On a completely different topic, it's funny how bits of music float around. I just heard that famous portion from Borodin's Polovtsian Dances, you know the one they use so much in Rah Xephon, in a Ventures guitar medley. And I thought The Ventures only played covers of popular sixties songs, now I'm wondering if that little piece of melody was picked up into some 60s pop song and in that case which.

Oh, and here's finally a picture of me and my hair. Not a very good picture, unshaven (me, not the picture) and glasses askew, but you wouldn't recoginse me otherwise.
