This week started pretty slow. I was feeling unexpectedly sleepy for much of the day, finding myself blinking and trying to regain focus a little bit too often. This in addition to (or perhaps because of) my body trying to decide if it is going to get a cold or not made me skip the after work run, instead purchsing a lot of apples and moving right along to dinner.
That seemed to give me a bit of steam back, and all of a sudden I was enjoying myself bending the appearance of OS X user interfaces to my will.
As a bonus activity I brought out the trimmer and shaved some unnecessary millimeters off my haircut. Having the trimmer set to ”thin” instead of ”cut” without noticing gives you a whole lot more time for your money, but the barber did not have much interesting to say so I was all happy when the mistake was discovered and corrected.
Swedes my age and somewhat younger may have a relation to the puppet animated TV series Skrotnisse och hans vänner. There is an exhibition running right now featuring this and other works by Jan Lööf, and it is wonderful.
(Although it could
certainly
have been ten times larger
if you ask me
and probably most other kids.)
Yes, I still want a flying lighthouse island on mechanical legs.
… I am hoping it decides to never really show up, and that it is thanks to me taking it a bit easier. I am willing to invest a few evenings worth of rest in this belief.
