Alright!
Today the first party train with Sj Event up to Åre departs. A lot preparation and planning for this trip has been done, although most of the staff has been up to Åsarna between Mon-Wed on a training camp preparing for the Stafettvasan. Everthing went smooth up there accept for Mazdaks knee that got terrible twist and resulted in a funny limp and some agony.

I've been doing a couple of menus that are going to be displayed on the Åre-train. Everything has been done in rapid speed with blueprints send to the printer company yesterday and the goods ready and delivered this morning already. I´m glad I had a Pre-Press course just before this internship, because it gave me some really good basics that I could apply and of course reduced a lot of friction that bad blue prints/originals would have caused.

I´ve been asked to come along on this train to åre but I seriously don´t have time and that would only make me uninspired while I´m away. I´ll probably go with a train week 12 when the internship is over and hopefully everything is a bit cooler.

Otherwise I´ve been trying to develop my skills on guitar by sitting up until 2 o´clock. Then of course the german studies has been taken up from its hibernation, and wow I tell ya, it´s cool as when the teacher only speaks german now and I have no problems at all understanding or anything, I´m actually able to listen to her while I´m writing or thinking of other stuff. Nice!

So, das war denn alles für dieses gang! Vielleicht, soll ich in deutsch schreiben, oder auch in finnish?

Etwas muss tun, so tchüss!

Goosh, it´s already Friday and as usually time has flown a bit to fast. I just don´t get it. I´ve been working quite late every day but still I think I might have to freeze time for only a couple days so that I could catch up some in my work but even more in my personal life.

This week has been a lot of drawing and modelling. To get the best conditions me and Maz went to Hagalund train way pit-stop for measuring and picturing. I must say that the pit-stop is gigantic, it probably took us 15 min to get from the first tracks to the last ones. I´ll take a picture of the corridors there next time so you can see what I´m talking about.

Besides the "gigatisim" the pit-stop was filled with trains from the 40´s up to present times unreleased models. The word is that if you work at SJ you´re probably have a fetish for some "chu-chu" and I must admit that I´ve becoming more and more neardy when it comes around trains(and I that totally ignored toy trains as a boy).

This Wednesday we had a hockey fight, did not go that well even though I assisted to two goals. I was so frustrated that I ran 8 km home after that game. This Saturday we will fight against Viggbyholm and there going to be a lot commotion with a sauna-pool for 17 gents & ladies and a free bar for the whole audience.

This week we have booked a new demo-taping with my band Varför?. We´re supposed to record two songs but I hope for three.The recording will occur in the beginning of February.

Have a nice week-end and let´s hope for some snow!

ps. The title of this blogg entry is an old hit with The Easybeats - Friday on my mind

Today has been a productive day; coffee drinking up to my ears, drawing and finding new ways to encounter problems and hockey practice as a good physical burn out of the evening.

One thing worries me though, now when I´ve been drawing a lot I tend to strain one of me fingers in a very awkward position so that the finger becomes numb, aching and stiff. I should probably try to get a better mouse, maybe one of those made for 3D-modelling.

Last weeks battle with all the stupid errors has really thought me new ways of getting through some dilemmas and actually improved some of my skills.

Now it´s bed time...

I´ve been working on the buggs and fixes for 2 days now and I´m starting to get finished. My plan is to next week be only focusing on interiordesign, such as furniture, walls and so on, and that´s we I need to get finished with most of all exteriordesign today or at least this weekend.

And yes I´ve been at home the last two days since the office almost empty I guess I could sitt home doing my stuff. Home I´ve got two screens which makes me more efficient.
