Mom and Wodehouse

Got a mail from my mother today, and she'd just read my journal, so she wondered if I realized that she can read everything I write. And sure, I realize that, that's kind of the point. This is the place where anyone who's interested can find out what I'm thinking and feeling at the moment, and also sample my writing skills if so inclined. I'm not doing this for the fame, it's all for me, but if people are interested in picking my brain, they're (you're) welcome to it :).

Another chapter in Mats life in the city today, didn't do much, basically just hung out with my friend Mats (Hellgren), who lives basically next door, as he was recovering from last night's partying. Had a nice enough time, though, watching Wodehouse videos, and drinking coffee with Kahlua and Bailey's. I really love the way Wodehouse uses language, if you haven't read his books, do so. They all have the same basic plot (boy meets girl, trouble arises, some far-fetched plan is hatched, more or less works, and everything turns out alright in the end), but his use of the english language, 1920's style, is simply amazing. Highly recommended if you like complicated wordings and strange logic, in an aristocratic setting.
