Discussion: Which spoon is better?

After reading Charlotte's blog regarding a date that ended with some amount of spooning I thought I'd bring up the topic of spooning for discussion.

Which spoon is better?

For definition purposes I have copied the following text from the Wikipedia entry on spooning:
Spooning is the act of two people lying on their sides, with one person's front to the other person's back, such that they fit together in a manner similar to spoons. The person who holds the other is often referred to as the "Big Spoon," while the participant who is held is the "Little Spoon".

Old friends and warm water

I just had a great weekend. Anna came back and we had a nice dinner at Lemongrass and then a lazy evening and morning at home. On Saturday we were off to have a fika with Emma and Esther and ran in to Anders, Sara and Simon whom I haven't met in 6 months or so.

Then, we had dinner at my parents', and everything went perfect. And I came up with a great idea that will allow me to go skiing in Austria a couple of days without me having to take any days off work. And it won't be expensive. Perfect! Can't wait until February.

I made a reflection about life all of a sudden while brushing my teeth today. I have noticed it lots of times before, it's just that I never gave it much thought. We all have totally different ways of brushing our teeth. I bet you I do it different from you. But here's the thing - why do everybody use cold water to mosten their toothbrush and then to rinse with? Okay, not everyone - not me. Why is that? Is cold water better? It's definately more comfortable with a bit warmer water.

Is it possible to teach an old dog new tricks?

Apparently. My dad can now be found on Facebook. Okay, so he's only 64 years old. But listen to this - my grandma, who's now 85, has a computer. Sorry, let me correct that - she's on her third computer. She had a laptop prior to this one. And she had broadband before my parents did. She sends mails and she used to chat on ICQ. Now that's a hip grandma!

It's official

It's now official. Yes, Anna is now my girlfriend. Who'd have thunk that I, Jesper, the eternally single, would go and hook up with someone? Not me. I had almost given up hope.

Anyways. I'm happy, she's happy, we're all happy. Well, actually, she'll be away for a week now, so I'm not that happy, but she'll come back on Friday again.

Tonight I'll celebrate by tasting beers with Snejs. Beer tasting is always fun!

Athens

I heard from reliable sources that someone would stop reading my blog if I didn't update it. And I don't want to lose my one and only blog reader.

Last Thursday Scandvision were off to a secret location. Not secret to me though, since I'm the world's bestest detective. Through methods unknown to most people and intelligence beyond the realm of possibility, I knew we were going to Athens. The original one - in Greece.

We started way too early with a glass of Ouzo and Greek music at Scandvision, took some taxis to Kastrup and off we went. To one of the oldest cities in the world. A city lined with smog and crazy drivers.

But it was a nice place. We saw old places, had Greek food and had a great time getting to know people we rarely talk to at the office.

And as usual - I took a million pictures. But I won't show any of them here. It would be way too boring for you, since it's mostly pictures of co-workers.

Is the curse broken?

Could it be that the curse set on me by the wicked witch a loooong time ago is finally broken? Have I found the right one? Am I not single anymore?

I had a wonderful dinner date with Anna on Monday evening after a totally crazy and stressful day at work. I won't kiss and tell. At least not in any public forum like my blog.

Today is a fun-packed day at work. Meetings between 8:30 and 17:00 (sorry Americans, but I won't use your lousy AM/PM system). Not even a break for lunch! Totally crap. But then I'll meet up with Anna again tonight.

And tomorrow morning at 6:30 everybody at Scandvision will leave for a conference at some secret destination. However, I have checked the departure times for all outbound flights from Kastrup and Sturup, and my extremely qualified guesses for destinations are either Rome or Athens. Cool. I've never been to any of those places.

Oh, and I'm so happy people are starting to comment my blog entries! It makes me feel like somebody's actually reading this. And it's extra cool that Charlotte's friend Mia reads it. She barely even know me. A huge welcome to you Mia and thanks for last Friday!

I'm all beer'd out

I just had an amazing weekend packed with all sorts of fun stuff.

It all started on Friday (as is quite common when it comes to weekends). I had first class train tickets from Malmö to Linköping and I spent a couple of hours in a compartment with rich ladies with way too much perfume before arriving in Linköping. Petra was nice enough to lend me her bike and the guest room in her apartment in Tannefors.

I cycled all the way through Linköping to Ryd to visit Charlotte, who had just come from the States to surprise Magnus on his birthday party on Saturday. I had a great dinner with her and a whole bunch of her friends at Mia and Lars' place. Apart from me accidentally pouring a glass of red wine on my pants I had a really good time. Was great to meet Charlotte's friends that I have only seen pictures of and reading comments by in her blog.

On Saturday Arild, Jens and Oskar came to pick me up in Linköping. We managed to listen to the same song all the way from Linköping to Nacka (Jordbærman by Zorba & Mirakel). Hilarious!

Then, after emptying Peter's and Anna-Karin's freezer we headed off to the Beer & Whiskey festival. We tasted a lot of beers. My favourites were the ones by Left Hand Brewering Company and of couse there were really disgusting ones too. Oh, and at one point one of my friends (no names mentioned) poured out half a glass of beer on my shirt. So I smelt like a real drunk all evening.

In spite of alcohol being present on my clothing most of the weekend I had a couple of great days. I might even post a couple of pictures here soon.
