HEY, well done! Looks like it will be a celebratory drink now, rather than a consolation drink

I'm really happy for you matey

Thanks!

Boy, I'm really glad the news was good btw, as tomorrow I depart for Pinkpop, three days of great music. http://www.pinkpop.nl/page.php?pagID=421 So this is a great start to what promises to be a very entertaining weekend. I'd hate to have had bad news about it one day before the festival, I don't think I'd have been able to get into it otherwise.

Woo Hoo, Alexander! Dog biscuits for everyone! Congrats, my friend.

Thanks Trey!

Congrats on that, its always nasty waiting for results, especially when they matter and you're not sure how it went.

First of all, Congrats to my dear Alex for passing your exam! Way to go sweetie!

And speaking of exams...my eldest daughter, Kristina, did very good on her big test after the first semester of her medical studies! She does not know her score yet, but she feels she did a good job....

Personally there's much to do now, Lena is graduating from high school on thursday and we're going to have a perty for her. I don't have time for work, now my bosses do not accept that sort of thing, unfortunately so I just say: lucky the nights are long!

I was on a music-festival friday-saturday, a b-day present from Lena. It was a synth-music-festival and just guess who the big stars were!!!

Welle Erdball!!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome, sheer joy it was...mmmmmm. And no, I was not the eldest one! Haha...

So, I just got back from Pinkpop this morning, and it was awesome!

The first multi day festival I've gone to, and I really enjoyed the experience.

My highlights;
Metallica. Without a doubt IMO the best performance of the three days. I've been a Metallica fan since as long as I can remember but this has only been the second time I've seen them live. It was well worth it though. Far better performance then the first time I saw them, not that that was a bad one mind you.

Flogging Molly. I've listened to a few songs of this band while at a friends place, but that was nothing like seeing them in real life. This was the first act performed on the main stage and a great way to kick things off. So much energy involved with this band, and the great sound they can produce using a fiddle and banjo along with classical rock instruments really impressed me.

Kaiser Chiefs. Another band I wasn't too familiar with, but one I'm definitely going to look into. Really put a fire in the crowd.

And I loved the Verve. Hearing the bittersweet symphony at a concert is so much better then hearing it from a cd.

I guess I could go on and on here, but suffice to say I can recommend Pinkpop with such a lineup to anyone who enjoys Rock and the likes. Really a great experience

So Metallica would still be worth seeing, huh? Might have to go to Bonnaroo (a music festival for those who don't know) this year. Mastodon is going too, which would rock my world.

I've also seen Flogging Molly live, and it was one of the best shows I've ever been to. The song "Devil's Dance Floor" was my favorite that day.

The best concert of my life though, was when I saw The Mars Volta a couple months back. Words cannot describe.

Yeah, Metallica is definitely still worth it.

hm, The Mars Volta eh? I don't know them. Perhaps I should look up some of their music. Can they be compared to another band?

Imagine rock mixed with eastern influences, no wait add a smidgeon of funk... they're a lot of very talented musicians almost playing freeform jazz in metal/rock style...oh, nuts to it, just take a listen

A late congratulations to Alexander on passing his exam. Glad to hear that your daughter did well too, Minque.

Just think, you can torment him (and me) with it in just two days!

Congrats to Minque's daughter, and Alexander. Now that it's summer vacation, I'm currently in Turks & Caicos, one of the U.K. islands in the Carribean. I'm forced to use this lap top that has a mediocre wireless connection. And when my family goes back home I'm off to church camp the day after.

I don't think I'll be on-line for that brief time period. But congrats to everyone else who's graduating from something, or on their finals.

Thanks for the kind words guys!

Now graduation is approachin extremely fast for daughter number two! On thursday is the big day so I will be a tad absent for the rest of the week, me and Daedroth that is!

Congrats to Minque's daughter on her graduation. On to even more exciting frontiers! Have fun, folks.

So, guess who has a broken front tooth?

Not sure how I managed it, either. I was out with some friends last night celebrating the end of exams, and at no point did my face or mouth bash against something. Only thing I can think of that might have done it was a fall I had when I tripped that jarred my teeth together kinda harshly. But nevertheless, I'm no missing half my right front tooth, it makes me look like a hobo (even moreso than usual ) and makes me talk kinda funny

EDIT: Just got back from the dentist, where my tooth was rebuilt XD. So I no longer look hobo-ish or speak with a slight lisp.

Bad luck there, I imagine it was a good night if you don't remember breaking a tooth...

I'm all happy here because my motorbike just passed an MoT it might have failed so all is well in the world. Well barring the price of petrol which just hit £1.15 a litre which stings a bit.

Nah, I remember everything. That's why I can't figure out how the damn thing broke.... at no point did I do something/have something happen that should have been able to break a tooth >_<
Was definitely a good night though

Okay so I chose to come home earlier. I'm not th one who's got the pictures but I toke some pictures with my phone at the environment (or landscape) to show you that Sweden is NOT like Bloodmoon (in the summer).

Your just taking those in summer so we can't win by pointing out the snow in winter.

Just kidding, of course.
