Atahl! Nuttin’!

My brain is swimming with things to say but nothing that I can turn into a mediocre post that might be somewhat entertaining in a world where mediocrity is the norm.

HI NORM!

I mean, I had a lovely holiday weekend. We went to Shazzer’s for dinner on Saturday night. The (soon-to-be) usual Spaghetti Easter dinner. ‘Cuz, you know, easter, chocolate, peeps, spaghetti, lots of booze. It all goes together. I mean, who dictated that lamb was to be served? or ham? or beef? We are going to have our own tradition here! Spaghetti at the Penthouse Nordic!

I went to the Kent concert with Somabish and her Marp on Sunday evening. Which, btw, the opening band called Familjen BLEW BIG CHUNKS! OMG! I seriously wanted to rip my eardrums out of my head with each passing second they were on the stage. Seriously, I am not sure what key he was in but it wasn’t good. But Kent puts on a really good live show!

It snowed.

It didn’t stick but it was pretty falling from the sky.

I walked around town with Maggie. Had coffee.

hmmm…..nothing else really.

I will leave you with some Kent. Lyrics follow in Swedish with a very close interpretation in English (I hope).
You can compare live with studio if you wish. This is the live version taped the night before the concert I went to. The video is here.

Ingenting (Nothing)
I Hagnestahill blinkar TV-ljusen (in Hagnest Hill, the tv screens are shining)
Jag gör vad jag kan (I do what I can)
Drömmer mig bort(to turn my mind off)
I Hagnestahill(in Hagnesta Hill)
Bland dem identiska husen (all the houses are alike)
Rycker vi till (everyone trembles)
Reklamen avbryts för sport(when the ads turn to sports)

Ingenting (nothing at all)
Först kom ingenting (First came nothing)
Sen kom ingenting (then came nothing)
Sen kom ingenting(then came nothing)
Men ingenting är …inget, inget, inget, inget (but nothing at all is…nothing nothing nothing nothing)

Dem jävlarna tog oss en efter en (Those bastards took us one by one)
Dem ljög och bedrog oss med sanningen(They lied and decieved us with the truth)
Dem jävlarna tog min älskling där (those bastards they took my darling there)
Från krönet av kullen kan jag se(on top of the hill I can see)
Min förlorade värld(my lost world)

Jag ska göra nånting (I will do something)
Jag ska slå er med häpnad(I will become well known—[not sure about that translation])
Gå över en gräns (cross over borders)
Jag ska bryta mig ut (I will break out)
Jag älskar dig så ( I love you so)
Som att vara beväpnad (like having a gun)
Och under belägring (and under a siege)
Kan jag skjuta dig ut(I can shoot your way out)

Ingenting (nothing at all)
Först kom ingenting (First came nothing)
Sen kom ingenting (then came nothing)
Sen kom ingenting(then came nothing)
Men ingenting är …inget, inget, inget, inget (but nothing at all is…nothing nothing nothing nothing)

Dem jävlarna tog oss en efter en (Those bastards took us one by one)
Dem ljög och bedrog oss med sanningen(They lied and decieved us with the truth)
Dem jävlarna tog min älskling där (those bastards they took my darling there)
Från krönet av kullen kan jag se(on top of the hill I can see)
Min förlorade värld(my lost world)
