So, the blog has had a small hiatus. Again. Well, it will probably happen in the future as well, but for now I’ll try to start it up for a time. Can you hear the motor slowly spinning to life again? The sound of procrastination, lovely!

T. S. Elliot, The Hollow Men, Pt I:

We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
Or rats’ feet over broken glass
In our dry cellar
Shape without form, shade without colour,
Paralysed force, gesture without motion;
Those who have crossed
With direct eyes, to death’s other Kingdom
Remember us—if at all—not as lost
Violent souls, but only
As the hollow men
The stuffed men.

I’m a bad, bad blogger. I’ve forgotten to tell you about the main event this autumn. The earth-shattering, sky-rendering, all-time freaky fun event of the St Jacobs Chamber Choir Baritone Bash of 2008.

For those of you not familiar with the event… Er… That’s not very strange, since we invented it this year. Since the 1st bases of the choir have always been the pinnacle of male beauty, intelligence and loudness, we thought we’d celebrate it by: 1) eating A LOT; 2) drinking A LOT; 4) slaughter a few male choir parts at the piano; and 5) be “almänt självgoda”.

In attendence, yours truly, E2, Herr Mürberg und the Castle.And I’m happy to report that we succeeded admirably on all points. I wont be able to give you a blow by blow report, so you’ll have to make do with some documentation of the food.

And if you wonder: Yes, E2′s a very good cook.

For some reason my body decided to screw up yesterday. And by “screw up” I mean fast heart beat, sleep problems, nausea etc. Which meant I’ve spent the day in bed.

Just because I had some fun yesterday? And by “some fun” I mean going out with Herr Mürberg and six other very cool and relaxed folks from the choir. It doesn’t seem fair.

Anyway, I slept through the day and is feeling fine now. So here’s some entertainment for you, Richard Dawkins at the Colbert Report! Great Stuff!

I’m off to Fano, Italy, with St Jacobs Chamber Choir tomorrow. If everything goes well, I’ll live blog the tour here… Let’s see how it goes eh?

This is yet another attempt at moblogging. This time via the moBlog application instead of via the net. Now my main question is, can I install multiple language t9 on this thing?Oh, I could! Whee…

Trying moblogging. And it… works?

Still having a cold. Damn. The concert on Thursday went alright though, thanks to pills and sprays and adrenalin. But, still…

Oh, and I forgot to tell you that Fafblog is back! All hail the Glory that is Giblets! Whee!

I’m in Debrecen, Hungary, thursday to sunday singing with the St Jacobs Chamber Choir. Which me luck.

I’m in Malmö this weekend singing with the lovely Jennylein. Which me luck.
