I finally decided to not get a surround system and instead buy two good active front speakers. This was the best I could find, both according to what reviews have said performance-wise, and to my personal preference in design. I’ll have to wait until tonight though before plugging these beauties in.

I lived in this house from my birth in 1983, until my second semester at KTH in January 2004. So, for about 21 years. It was a great house and I’ve always liked it. Big, a nice garden, pool, (very) close to school, gym, sauna etc. And also very famous in school as the Swedish flag.
Now the time has come to sell it. And don’t get me wrong. I think my parents selling the house is the right thing to do. They don’t fill it anymore. Even André moved out a couple of months ago.
I guess it will be kind of weird to see another family live there though. And yes I’m pretty sure we will drive by once in a while, considering the rest of the Lindbergs still live in the neighborhood. Actually Maria and I are the only ones resisting the force of the mäl-side.

So, for the second year in a row, Maria and I were given a free all-inclusive trip to Egypt. Coincidence? Not completely I guess. I did mention to mom and dad that our last year’s trip with Rolf and Kajsa was a success. And so became this.
We were 16 people in total pushing our way through crowded restaurants and occupied sun chairs. The trip overlapped New Year’s Eve which was spent at the neighboring hotel, which included entertainment with acrobatic dwarfs and magicians. And on top of that, sun and 27 degrees for a week was a perfect contrast to the Swedish horrific weather. Mom and dad, if you read this, thank you a thousand times for this adventure. We will never forget it!
Now, I’m back, and eager as ever for the new year. Two trips two the alps are already planned, and a new job begins in March. And who knows what else?

Finally. Christmas break is here! Happy I was clever enough to save some vacation for dark days like these. Might be my only chance to catch some daylight. So, from today until the 7th of Januari I’m free like a bird. And in less than two weeks we’re leaving for Egypt!
Lots of stuff is going on as usual. Some which I can’t speak of right now. This is one of the great downsides of writing a blog – all the kinky details you have to leave out. What is not a secret but a shame is our lost in the final game in the Quake 2 league yesterday! Sad, but it was still much fun!
Pretty tired today though. The game kept on until quite late and today I had one of those killer workouts in the 5×5 program I’m doing right now.
And as for Maria, she’s on a shopping spree in London with Lisa – home alone! Yay! No but seriously, it’s good because she’s helping me out with the Christmas shopping.
Well, off to Nicklas to chill out with some FIFA and maybe a beer or two.

Taken on Barnhusbron with my SonyEricsson W995 (plus some discreet touchups :)) while walking home from the gym with Johan and Maria. The past week I’ve been introducing Johan to the HST gym routine. Or to be correct, gym overall :) I hope it’s not killing him. He needs to survive to spot me the last killer week of the routine. Although I haven’t told him that yet. I have to say that this far I like the Max-OT program better. But I haven’t even done a third of the HST program yet so it’s too early to be definite about it.

Lots of work these days. Of course, what I do at Handelsbanken nowadays is not more than what’s normal. But combined with two web site jobs after work, gym and stuff to deal with in the new apartment, it’s a whole lot. Although, I guess most of these things are voluntary! Remind me to skip at least one evening job in the future.

While I’m at it with the pictures, and have nothing to do on a Saturday evening, here are some more pictures from our recent sailing voyage. The girl you might not recognize is Ricardo’s girlfriend.

The day after tomorrow it’s happening. The big move. Not much more than 50 meters away we’re gonna carry furniture through the window, down the little hill, over the street, and right through the entrance to our new apartment. We’ve been looking forward to this for a few months now and can’t say anything else but that we’re very excited. Here are the pictures from the ad:
