i've been listening to crack the skye since after lunch, when i bought it. there was a new guy in the record store, not the one i usually buy from, and he claimed it wasn't to be released until tomorrow (that happens a lot - i guess we're always a day behind here in sweden) and was unwilling to sell it to me, but i managed to convince him it was ok. i think i'm getting the hang of the album now, sortof. it doesn't really work listening to a new album at work, or at least it doesn't work the same way since you can't really focus on the music when coding. i did that with tool initially, and it took a long while before i realized i liked them, but by then a lot of the stuff had gotten to me somewhat subconsciously, and not in an entirely bad way. actively listening to them became real fun, because i had a hunch i really knew the songs. anyways, i've gone from somewhat liking crack the skye to believing i'm going to really like it soon. it felt different first, the song much softer, not as harch as before, but now i get the same feeling i tend to get from them - that of being in another world. a world of crystal skulls, mountains with vast forests, of crazy, rum-drunk seamen dancing frenetically in the dock, partly obscured by the early morning mist. listening to mastodon can be a gate into antother world, another mode, another state of mind. listening to mastodon is awesome. it's going to be so cool seeing thim with sis this summer. it's going to be so cool listening to them when driving to the slopes in a couple of weeks, also with sis.
it's soon time for me to decide whether i should make a dash for sthlm this fri - she hinted at calling me, the norwegian girl did. i thought i'd pissed her of, as i always assume i have when it takes someone any amount of time to respond - i'm not built for this. i still prefer indirect communication over the phone though, i'm terrified of talking in the phone. i told her, so she's prepared at least. the last time it worked out pretty well i think, mainly because i was only half awake and so surprised she actually called me i didn't get into phone mode.
i'm gonna drink that other oolong tea i bought a while back now (not formosa, some weird chinese name) and read a bit in love in the time of cholera. can't say i like it that much, but i'll trudge on. what i really want to read though is moby dick, or graham greene. and i probably should reread the heart of darkness.
