The well-ordered life.
And there i was. The day prior two polish cyclists had visited, a copy of Norman Davies "A short history of Poland" had been ordered at the library, and i was listening to Rattle conducting a great many works of Szymanowski.
What might then be more interesting than a HeadphoneCommute'-mix dealing with experimental electronic music in Poland in the period 1960 - 2012? I don't really know. Part of our journey indeed!

Schools in for autumn.
So, that is the end of another summer. One which fared (surprisingly?) well. I might have been drinking too heavily in june, bet after that i regained the focus on wellness i should maintain most of the time. So i won`t really regard that as a problem.
There won`t be any work for a week or two anyways, so i`ll have some time to wrap things up whilst in Bergen. That means i can spend some time really getting my exercise-regimen up and running again. Unfortunately i won`t be able to time it to regular working hours since the swimming pool is still on its summer schedule. It`ll be fun regardless.
Other than that the things i have to do are as follows :
-Finish the lfs-build, which means having to retread everything from locale-installations. (Sigh.... oh well, it won`t be that much of a pain.)
-Keep running the basic hebrew-lessons. That project has a -very- relaxed time-frame to it, so no worries, but the current method improved will yield results.
-Do the financial markets course. (One lecture a day means twenty days to finish, if i manage to stay procrastination free....(hahahahaha))
-poke around for a new place to stay. shouldn`t be too difficult, but involves that dreaded thing called capital. We`ll see.
-do the basic diet funstuff, you know the drill.
-more money on smart drugs, less money on alcohol. seems deceptively simple, doesn't it?!
-get ahold of a nexus 7, asap, or as soon as it hits norway anyhow. i can't be bothered to get it from overseas.
-i'd prefer it if i got to ride some more on my catrike this season, i'm getting a new rear fender, so that is doable.
-preferably do some math, and some chem, and some language, and some (very basic) programming
-role playing games? the jury is still out on whether or not i can be bothered with that this semester, it'll eat upwards of ten hours, which i might have if i'm effective, not if i'm not...
-hackbergen, i should definitely be more active there, and do something silly like buy some arduino-stuff, (or just do the spoiled rich kid w/o a clue routine and buy a mindstorms kit) (hey, it's about popularization and lowering the thresholds for participation and interest, isn't it?!)
-ap, yeah well, i'll attend the meetings and otherwise take a slow and silent approach to it all, more than that would require surplus energy i am somewhat uncertain about possessing enough of
-dancing. i will probably show up for the first lessons, and then we'll see if i manage to stay with it this time.
-coursera starts in september, should be fun.
-more german, maybe through duolingo, maybe through deutsche welle, definitely through IP. Maybe all of the above.
Am i overdoing it? Hell yes! might it work? Hell yes!
The one thing i have to cut back on this autumn is sleeping, 4 to 6 hours will have to suffice. Honestly, i can save my twelve-hour+ sessions until my christmas vacation.
Now for an interesting question.... what shall i listen to after i've been through the tonatom-catalogue? I need a sophisticated creative commons netlabel. (Of which there are many, and i have some in my bookmark-file, though which to choose?) Firt of all i shall have to listen to the new kahvi and laverna-releases.
You're nuts Gerhard! Yes i know!
Oh, and i have to play some Day Z.
It's a hard knock life.
Good luck everyone.
