OK, so since I have been traveling so much over the past weeks, and due to that after-party in January, most of my beer supplies had been decimated by Swedes. So today was the day that I decided to go to the Systembolaget and get some more beer. And besides the usual selections (Sopporo, Singha, Corona, and Carlsberg), I also picked up some czech beers, some indian beers, some french and german beers.

So this is what my beer shelf looked like before:

And this is what my beer shelf looked like after:

So my international beer selection is back on track. And since I leave for several other countries tomorrow afternoon, it will stay that way for at least a week.

There is a lot to write, but I just don’t really know how to put it all in words.

First, one of my friend’s partners got into a car accident. It was a lot for them to go through, especially considering they have had so much happen to them for the last 5 months. Second, I took sipho out to dinner and a movie for his birthday. We went to one of my favourite Thai restaurants in Stockholm and then we went to see Rent. It was an excellent play and also an excellent movie. I cried at several times in the movie, but I didn’t want anyone to know. Third, I just got back from Copenhagen and all I can say is that my mind is tired.

I am very down at the moment and very just blah. Just plain old blah. Dinner and the movie were the high point of the week (it’s always a fun time with Markus. There is just so much going on. And yet a lot of what is happening is out of my hands I think. I don’t know. In the past when I feel this way, I tend to go someplace else. Usually outside Stockholm. But the thing is for the last 5 months, I have done extensive traveling. So the problem — whatever it is — I am bringing around with me.

We’ll see…I can’t stay in this funk forever.
