When you reach a certain age, you start to believe that there are no great new experiences to be had, no bigger life surprises or meaningful lessons or emotions that you might feel. You become complacent. While I am not exactly saying that this is me, I can say that I never ever expected to […]
Spiraling into Madness
Well, no not really. More like spiraling into gaming. The past week has been characterized by numerous hours put into gaming – playing Witcher 3 and Grim Dawn. It has gotten to the level where my eyes physically hurt due to the strain I put them through. Of course, this has started to nudge at […]
The New Normal or More of the Same
The fourth week of isolation due to Covid-19 or coronavirus or Sars 2 pandemic and we are still hanging on. Being stuck most of the time in an apartment does not give rise to new adventures. Therefore, the routine is king. Sticking to the same rhythm and some sense of order has definitely helped us […]
Apocalypse Now: Coronavirus isolation –
Guess the next two riddles, thought up yours truly: First: What is as hard as bones but soft at its fingertips, grows and moves but always stays in one place, has wrinkly skin but stays eternally young in its core? Second: What has legs and arms but cannot move on its own, acts as second […]

There is just too much bad information, too much unclear information and so many government restrictions regarding peoples liberties that it is very hard indeed to remain complacent […]

A Serious Matter
Sixth day after we have been put into isolation by our government and I must say we are doing fine…fine-ish, is more like it. The experience in general still feels unrealistic and that makes every day really weird. First, for me at least, was a sense of panic when the reality of the virus and […]
Back home…ain´t as easy as it sounds
Right now we are in a self-imposed isolation due to the WHO declared health pandemic in light of the Coronavirus COVID-19 spread in Europe. Right now I feel as if I have a cold, but honestly it could just be the paranoid side of me giving me fake symptoms. Still, the runny nose and the […]
