“There were things she believed while lying in bed at night, and there were choices made at the breakfast table the next morning”
- Jonathan Safran Foer, “Eating Animals” p. 8

En mi biblioteca
What language should I write in? Ska man skriva på svenska bara för att underhålla sina vänner o necesito escribir en español para los randoms que han encontrado mi linda blog? Ninataka kuandika swahili lakini lini siishi Kenya siwezi kumbuka kila neno kwamba nataka kusema. And I just don’t have the will to install Mongolian letters on my keyboard and I find English-Mongolian writing weird and inaccurate most of the time. So I guess I can just give you a song called “Feel The Love” that I’m in love with right now.
♫ I can feel the love, can you feel it too? ♪
Restaurant business time
Hey babes, I’m sipping on a Choco Banana Shake at Sture Library, reading and studying business. For those of you out-of-the-loop, I’m now running a restaurant called Kin-Maru. The latest collaboration and campaign I worked on has now ended up in a whopping 800+ dinner guests up until Mid-April. I feel like I have a nack for business. I wanted to write more, but I just got a call and they need me at the restaurant. Maybe I’ll write more tonight. Thank you for reading… and stuff.
My 4-Hour Chef is here!
I couldn’t be happier. By the wonderful Mr. Ferriss, this book is his most beautiful. Very fitting for my restaurant and my passion for making extraordinary food. Also lots of techniques to master skills and memorizing beautiful things. I’m very excited. 
Cat’s Cradle
In Stockholm, Stockholm County, Sweden.
OK, so I have now read my first book by Kurt Vonnegut. It’s about a guy who’s going to write a book about the day the atomic bomb was released. The storyline escalates from the get-go and leads to total chaos at the end. It’s about how we always think that those who rule are made of pure evil and that they are trying to get what they want at any price … but really they are acting out of the same place as everybody else – the need for happiness. However, it is a bit worse when the decisions you make regardless of your emotional state of being affects the rest of the world or at least your state. The book makes you realize that “Big Brother” is not really pure evil and that the people who make up “Big Brother” are just that – people. People who long for love and happiness just as much as the next non-sociopath guy.
Even though the book is considered funny by many, for me its dark humour has never been in my taste. More-over I wonder if Vonnegut might have had spelling troubles. He doesn’t misspell things, he just writes them a bit… weirdly. Cray-dull vs. cradle, airplaines vs. airplanes, magnitood vs. magnitude. My favourite quote is on page 45 “Peculiar travel suggestions are dancing lessons from God”. I can do nothing else but agree with that statement. In conclusion – it is a nice piece of writing on the desperate measures we might take when we feel unloved. However I think there have been boatloads of better books that have dealt with the main themes of the book with greater ease and flow for the reader.
Against the hairdresser!
Monday morning work
In Stockholm, Stockholm County, Sweden.
GOOD MORNING TO YOU! I have worked half the night and all morning with the task of restructuring the company. Contacted a few experienced people and asked about basic stuff … hahah. Read the world’s most boring books on business and will probably DIE if I do not find a bookkeeper soon … It’ll probably do anyway. Took a little break now to write to you, watch funny clips on youtube and eat lunch. Will update you with great photos later today. Hugs!
You’re Never Upset for the Reason You Think
My camera is worth thousands of dollars. I freaked out a little while ago and thought they had not managed to repair it. I was about to erupt before I checked and saw that they had just turned off the “movie mode” … (I’m ashamed) But while I freaked out, I remembered a nice book that said you are never angry for the reason you think. You take it out on others when you are mad at yourself. And right now I’m pissed at myself. I have become such an addict that I find all excuses to avoid having to meet friends, work, work out, eat, sleep, live … It has gone off the rails completely. I’ll explain everything tomorrow about my super cheesy but disastrous addiction. Goodnight!
night time readin’
Patong Beach
As you may know – I stayed in 4 places in Thailand this past winter. Krabi Coast, Krabi Town, Patong and Bangkok. These are the pictures from Patong beach – the most touristy place I’ve ever been to. But the scenery was beautiful all the same

Од болох
- Холхи газраас гялалзан харагдах өнгөт од оо
Хязгааргүй огторгуйн дунд зугаалсан олон улаан оч оо
Нарт ертөнцийн дотор суугаа марс од ооМанай хүн төрөлхтөн чамтай танилцахыг хэдийнээс хүсэв.
Алтан сайхан бие дээр чинь ямар хүн эрдэнэ оршном?Уул, ус, цэцэг мод чинь юугаар бүтсэн бэ?
Манай ертөнц шиг янз янзын юм холилдон байна уу? Үгүй юу?Нийгэм журмын байдал чам дээр тогтсон уу? Үгүй юу?
Од чиний тэндээс энэхүү дэлхий ямар өнгөтэй үзэгднэм.Орчлон ертөнц гэдгийг чи мэднэ үү? Үгүй юу?
Янаглал амраглалын дөл аль зэрэг хурц вэ? Юунд манай ертөнцөд захиа үл илгээнэ чи?
Эрдэмт марс од оо! чи нэгд нэгээр харж байна.Энэхүү дэлхийн түмэн байдлыг юу гэж сонирхоно чи.
Огторгуйн оргилын олон эрдэмтэн чамайг хэдийнээс сонирхов.
Урьдаар нийгэм журмыг байгуулж, дараагаар чамтай ураг болсугай гэнэ.
It’s 5 o’clock in the morning
… and I can’t sleep.
Actually it’s 3:25 as I’m writing this, but I’m sure I’ll still be awake by 5. Plus, I wanted to make this song reference. We were supposed to go out but fatigue from climbing mountains all day cancelled it. So now I’m watching Oprah talk about why men cheat. Army of 12 Monkeys is coming up after that!
I’ve given up. I’ve tried drugs, books, oils, therapies, food, exercises etc. for sleep. No luck.
The only thing missing is sleeping next-to someone. Having someone beside me is the ultimate remedy. Babies don’t sleep that good. Maybe I should buy a blow-up doll? Human contact is factor number one for everything. Cuddling up with someone cozy works instantly while chewing Valerian and popping sleepers imported from France does nothing for me. Blogging might be a hindrance in my ever quest to enter sandman… I’ll go to bed now. Skip the 12 monkeys.

I still don’t care. I hate school too much. Two weeks left until Japan or warmer climates or whatever. I’ll make it through. Plop out some essays and lab reports.
