Hello everybody! Time for some christmas fun! Today's journal (as well as the rest during the coming three months) are sponsored by
the Poetry pro!
Without him this journal wouldn't look half as interesting as it does now. So thank you Ronald!

Tonight's journal will be mostly about others, which means features, features, features! ...and some notes about me in the end.

The Critique guide contest over at came to an end two weeks ago, and I promised I would feature the winner, so it should be about time now. Sorry for the wait man!

*Argolith won the competition with this finely written guide on criticising photographs:

I suggest you go and read it and then turn to his gallery to put his guide to the test. Why not try it out on some of these?

In Sweden we celebrate Christmas on the eve, and since it's well past twelve here it's about time to start giving out presents. I've decided to put my subscription present to good use by featuring one piece from each of my watchers! Take your pic, and don't you dare skip the lit just because they look all grey and boring!
Here goes!


Phiew! That was all. Not that many, but it sure took some time to pick which to feature... Merry christmas to you all!

On a personal note, I'm feeling tired and broken and need to go to bed. School's going fine, just one exam left. Still finding it a bit odd that the fall semester ends in January...
Tomorrow it's off to celebrate christmas with my folks who just moved south to this city some weeks ago. My brother and his son will be joining us, so I know at least one of us that's getting presents.

Good night! And thanks for watching.

Hello and ahoy and other such words of greeting to you!
Today's journal is all about this journal of my good friend where he tells that he'll be offering commissions from now on. And dirty cheap too. I'd recommend you to go there and grab a slot before they get filled up. Great art for affordable prices, and he's just about the best person there is to do business with. His art makes great gifts! You can stuff it in your coat to make yourself warm! Eat it! Drink it! Put it on toast! Did I mention he plays the accordion?

This could be yours for how much did you say? A thousand dollars? One hundred dollars? NO! Just fourty dollars! Isn't that just increadible?!! Don't hesitate! Get your artwork now wile stock lasts!

In personal news: I'm trying to be a good student and study so if you think I'm not reading you poems or looking at your art you may very well be right. I'll try to catch up with you great great guys soon.
Friday is meeting my wife at the docks day!
Next Friday is meeting my wife at the docks day due to the embassy holding on to her passport without telling her in time. One extra week of waiting due to them. But what difference does that make on three months? Enough to go mad occationally!
But now she's coming for sure.

Just wanted to tell everyone that's interested that the migration board finally has granted my dear residency permit, so my days as a virtual widower are over! Now all that's left is to plan the trip. If all goes as planned she'll be back home before the end of the month.


Expect some new things from me in the future. I can't be more specific than that.
