No "midsommar" party for me toning, but i might join the picnic and dance at the Centre Cuturel Suédois on Sunday. According to the website there'll even be a midsommarstàng" (Midsummerpole).Sunday is also the day of the "Fête de la Musique" when France celebrates music with free concerts on every street corner of every village. It's hugely popular and millions of people party in the streets.

This weekend, 23-24 May, is the 2009 France Floorball Championship in Orleans. My team, IFK Paris, are facing Paris Université Club in the semi final derby after finishing second in the regular season. Last year our teams met in the final, with PUC scoring a goal in sudden death to claim the title. In the regular season this year we have won both games against PUC (2-0 and 3-1), but I can tell

The big day is approaching, slowly but surly. Last year, in the midst of the mess of our lives, I did an inspired thing : I asked Barbara to marry me. Mistakes were made, acknowledged and corrected. It was a very difficult year for the both of us but now we are here. Together in Paris, less than 2 months away from joining our lives forever. I couldn't be happier!

When I came back to Paris this year I immediately rejoined my floorball club IFK Paris, where I had played 2005-2008. I played in the French Championship in the 2005-2006 (winger), and 2006-2007 (defender) seasons, and I was eager to get back on the field. I hadn't played more than twice in my 6 months in Dublin, but I caught up pretty well and was called in to play defence in the 2nd round in

The French Business Daily les Echoes has picked up a story from the WSJ saying the 19 US banks subject to Geithner's stress tests got to negociate the results with the Federal Reserve before they were finalized.Additional Capital Required - Initial vs FinalBoA: 50$Bn / 33.9$bnCiti: 35$bn / 5.5$BnWells Fargo: 17.3$Bn / 13.7$BnI'm sure this will add to the newfound confidence in banks.

Yesterday on my way home I my bus got stuck in traffic near Gare de Nord and the driver told us we should get off and walk the rest of the way. I started walking when approaching La Place de la Chappelle I saw there was a large crowd of Indians (500+ people) blocking the intersection (It's an Indian neighborhood).I was pissed off I had to walk and didn't really pay attention.

I'm not sure if any of you are aware of the proposed plan to rescue the US banking industry by buying up toxic assets, the PPIP for Public-Private Investment Program. Bank stock have rallied strongly since the presentation of this plan witch is very favorable for the financial industry.This plan is a private-public partnership to buy bad assets from the banks at prices above market value in order

I've taken my first vacation from the new job. Only a day, but i spent it well. We went to Méribel in the Alps for a prolonged weekend to celebrate Barbara's cusin's birthday. - the station is quite chic (many celebs are regulars but I didn't spot any) and is part of the huge "Trois Vallées" domaine.

It feels great to be back in Paris. After sending our belongings with the movers on Thursday I took the plane Dublin-Paris for the last time, leaving Ireland and its crumbling economy behind me.France greated me with glacial temperatures and snow covered landscapes. After a Christmas in Sweden sans snow, it was a pleasant surprise. In the city centre, the snow still lingered on parked cars and in

[Smash hit video "Travailler (Orgasmic Remix)]. I last saw them at Triptyque back in 2005/06 when the 2nd Arr. was my hood. It should be a great show, they were awesome live.

I've also come down with a cold, which makes me feel even more sorry for myself, but only 3 more days to go. Christmas was great, Barbara came with me to spend it with my family.

The Irish experience is coming to an end with the economy and my huge global company getting smacked in the face by the doom and gloom. We've restructured twice and 40% of the workforce have been given notice or sacked. 3 out of 4 business have been closed down or sold. I was told I'd still have a job in '09, but I saw a life raft and jumped ship. I gave my notice this week and I'll be moving

Today I handed in my resignation and we'll be moving to Dublin, Ireland, where I' ve accepted a job with one of the world's largest companies.

This month I'm turing 30. It makes me feel old, and the fact that I don't even want to go clubbing is a definite sign of my increasing age. So no party is planned, but a nice dinner with friends. I would have like to have a big birthday bash, but someone else would have had to plan it. What else is up? Going to see Band of Horses on 28 Feb at La Maroquinerie!

After a few days on frantic Ko Phi Phi, we took the ferry to Ko Lanta. It was a 1,5h trip and we got some excellent tanning time on the boat. On arrival we got blasted with offers for hotels but we had set our sights on a small place on the souther tip of the island called Mai Pai Bay. We managed to negotiate a shared cab, a 4WD Toyota pick-up truck, and once the driver had rounded up 4 more

I've settled into a new rhythm for these posts, seems once a month is now my limit. With work being busy since February, and more so these last two weeks, I'm superhappy to be on vacation. I'm going down to the French Riviera with my girlfriend and 2 friends. We're staying in Barbara's mom's summer house in Colle-sur-Loup near Saint Paul. We'll be sipping cocktails by the swimming pool all week

At the end of May me and my darling Barbara went to Rome for a romantic getaway. This was our first real vacation together since last summer and we had been looking forward to it all winter.We had booked a classy centrally located hotel and the trip was everything we hoped for: great food, great wine, classical masterpieces and lots of lovin... could it be any better?

These last weeks we've had crazy hot weather. Temperatures have been in the 25-30*C range and the blazing sun is more like June than mid-April. There's a saying in france "En avril, ne te découvre pas d'un fil" warning that the month of April is treacherous and you shouldn't take off your wool sweater just yet. With the global warming the old saying has lost it's meaning and everyone is in full

For Easter me and Barbara had a 4 day weekend since the markets are closed on Friday and Monday. We had really been looking forward to taking it easy and relaxing after 3 months of uninterrupted work since Christmas. Decidedly the time was right, because we had the most beautiful spring weather.On Friday we took the opportunity to do some shopping. Holy Friday is not a holiday in France (so much

The weekend of 17/18 march IFK Paris, my floorball team, hosted the final round of the French Floorball Championship. Being the clubs general secretary since the new year, I had a small part in the preparation and the execution of the event. We cohosted with fellow Parisian clubs PUC and Ericsson, but we (Jerome, Seb and - in a some what lesser degree - me) handled most of the work. Players from

February has been a month full of events.Valentine's day came around, again. Can't escape it can you. I succumbed to the pressures of consumerism and gave my girlfriend a treat. I bought her 2 dozen roses, Belgian chocolate and prepared her a candle lit dinner of finger foods. not so bad I think.Then I turned 29, witch I celebrated by inviting plenty of people to mine and Barbara's apartment.

Last week was a good one. A friend from my student days in Nancy was in Paris for his job and it was the occasion to catch up on the latests news since we hadn't seen each other in 6 months. We had dinner twice, together with a colleague of his and Damien. I had a steak tartare the first time around and confit de canard the second time. These are typical dishes you'll find on the menu in a

End of January? Already?This first 1/12 of the new year has swooshed by. It's been windy in Paris. Cold too. Apparently there's snow in the suburbs. Here in the center of Paris there's almost never any snow. I remember back in '97 when I first came here (I have since moved back and forth), I lived on the the south side of Paris and we got snow there.I'm still getting used to my job. I work

Today it's christmas morning in Sweden. I got up an hour ago and started making christmas porridge for the family. This is my first try and I admit it's trickier than I thought. The rice porridge has to be cooked with milk for about 40 minutes so I'm taking this opportunity to send a seasons greating to everyone.I'm thinking specially of my sister Sanna, who's in Ghana (I'm proud of you!), my

The first weekend of December was the start of this season's floorball championship in France. As usual it takes place in rounds of 3 games on 3 weekends, since the 9 teams are dispersed all over the country. The first rounds was Besancon, then Orleans in January and finally Paris in March hosted by my own club IFK. We drove down on Friday night so we got plenty of sleep for the games.First up

December 1st! An Friday to boot! I don't have time to celebrate because I'm off to Besancon for the Innebandy Championships. We're driving down tonight and it's a 4,5 hour trip. I like road trips, but, frankly, at night there's nothing to see so it's gonna be booooring (I'm bringing my mp3-player).Let's hope for a happy start to the Holiday Season!

A third job offer came in yesterday. Only a temp contract and it's not my first choice but makes me feel pretty good anyway. In 30 minutes I have a meeting to negociate my contract so I've got to rush.COUPLE OF HOURS LATER, BACK IN THE APARTMENT:I've had a couple of beers, and I've broken the news to friends: I've signed a job contract today!My intentions of negociation when down the shits with

Winter has finally come to Paris. Up until last week we still had highs of 20C but November is here and summer is over. Yesterday a wore gloves and beenie for the first time. I also tried out my new pair of football shoes that I bought for 15 Euros. Cheap yes, but ok. I played football with my gf's X for the 2nd time.

After a month of nothing but bad news (or no news; same/same) things are finally picking up. I've got 2 job interviews at the end of the week and possibly yet another one next week. The best part is that the positions are interesting, just as I had started to look for a temp job.October is also birthdays galore.

I had already voted earlier this week at the embassy, but most people in Sweden voted today.The right wing alliance (Moderates, Liberals, Centers & Christan democrats) have won a clear victory and the current prime minister Göran Persson is to leave his job as leader of the social

A couple of miles north of Cambria on highway 1 is the famous Hearst Castle. This demeure was build in the 1920's by the worlds first media mogul William Randolph Hearst. In its hey days he had moviestars and dignitaires flown in from Los Angels with his private plane and taken to the luxurious residence. The achitecture is a wild mix of style that in its essence is good old american mix and

It's now been two months since I came back to France to find a new job. I've had some success (I've gotten two offers witch I've turned down) and I've had one interview a week on average. Lately I've mostly seen consultancy firms, but august was slow because everyone in France is on vacation. It seems profile is too IT heavy and I'm struggling more than i thought I would to get interviews. If you

When I woke up in that morning in Santa Barbara I knew I couldn't drive right away. My head hurt, but numbly, in the way that tells you to move very slowly and if possible not at all. I crept over to the shower area of the hostel and let the cold water bring me back to life. After a breakfast of coffee and toast I was already feeling a little better but I decided to walk off the remnants of the

I'm in France again. Back after 2 months of time out I've returned to Paris in order to get a new job. I barely had the time to unpack my bags before I got my first interview. It's good to know that my profile is attractive on the market, but I don't want this to go to fast. I want to take my time and find a job that I can feel passionate about. I might not find it right away but I have time on

I'm now going to relate the events of my second week in California. After the fantastic weekend in Yosemite national park I flew down to Los Angeles where I would pick up a rental car for my road trip back to San Francisco.

Before I left France I practically moved in with Barbara and I left all my stuff in her basement so when I come back to Paris for the 14 Juillet holiday I can pack lightly.This is us visiting Vaux-le-Vicomte the first weekend of April - Bisous cherie! ...and off I go to the great country in the west.

In a moment of weakness I bet a modest sum of money (overstatement!) with Micke that the Olympique de Lyon would reach the quarter finals of the Champions League regardless of the drawing. Worst came to worst so they got Milan AC (Could have been worst still - they escaped Barca). Tomorrow is the first game in the Stade de Gerland in Lyon and next week the return match in Italy - the suspense is

I was born 28 years ago at Falun Hospital, in the region of Dalarna in Sweden, a dark winter night when the mercury hit an astounding low of -36° C (-32° F) . Despite the freezing cold, my father managed to start up his old SAAB 96 and drive my mother to the hospital on the evening of St. Valentine's Day. I was born early the next day, 4 hours past midnight.

I admit this month has been exceptionally slow blogwise. I've been busy, lazy and somewhat stressed throughout the month. Mainly, this has been due to incertainties regarding my career (Oh yes I have a career plan).I've been fighting to get out of my current mission since late last year but have suffered the slowness of french bureaucracy and organisation. They're incredibly slow and reticent to

Oops, sorry I'm late!So here it is the start of a new year, with all it's hope for a better world. My arrival in this year 2006 AD was a bit harsh, but I had a good time getting there.The New Year's festivities took place in Stockholm with my good friend Martin and his girlfriend Sofia. They've just bought a new appartment in Söder, a fashionable (if sligthly artsy) part of the swedish capital.

I have now managed to buy all my christmas gifts, despite saving it for the last weekend. The crowds were straight out crazy at the Grands Magasins and I could hardly move at all on the boulevards for all the people stopping to watch the window decorations. Every christmas, they are filled with displays of moving toys that enchant kids and adults alike. Me, I found it interesting for about 2

Sweden got an almost dreamlike draw for the world cup: Sweden was drawn into Group B together with England, Paraguay and Trinidad-Tobago.Sweden will play England in the last game in the pools and we have not lost against them in 35 years.

This time of year eveybody wants there say on what was the highlights of the year. Best albums, best movies, best parties etc etc. I'm gonna limit my own workload by refuring you to the guys @ fimoculous that are compiling a comprehensive list of all the lists for the year 2005.You've got a favourite event or object this year?

Christmas has come over us again and we are condemed to being haunted by xmas songs wherever we go until the end of the year. They've put up the christmas decorations at the Grands Magasins, the luxury shopping centers in Paris, and the streets are swamped by shoppers on weekends. But let's not get depressed over this overzealous holiday euphoria that is forced upon us, take it with zen and

Last weekend I had Veronica visit me, again, and I got the chance to party some more with her and her friend Luc. The boy friend Luc, or Luke, as I call him, is from Toulouse and therefore a big rugby fan. So since there was a the test match France vs South Africa this weekend it was clear we'd go see it. Unfortunatly we couldn't get any tickets (bad planning) so we all met up at Luc's appartment

So last Thursday was the Beaujolais Nouveau and this had to be celebrated. Considering that the wine in question is not at all ready for consumption, you do want to go somewhere they serve you wine of better quality. This will avoid you some of the worst effects on your body, but you'll still have a hell of a headache in the morning. I met up with Damien and collegue of his at Le Vin du Zinc on

Today I got my new Canon Ixus 55 digital camera that I had ordered from pixmania. So watch out coz I gonna add pics to some of the old posts (notably this one).Tonight at midnight is the kick off for one of the most poular, and at the same time feared, French feasts. Every 3rd thursday of November, France (and apparently Japan) celebrate the coming of this year's Beaujolais wine, the Beaujolais

This week I'm happy. I had a great weekend and I don't care if it's Monday, I'm singing "Happy Happy Joy Joy" like I was Ren & Stimpy. As I mentioned in my last post I had Veronica visiting me this weekend. I didn't see as much of her as I thought i would coz she ended up at her lover's place 2 nights in a row. I wont get into the details of their relationship, but I approove of the guy. He

I've been totally bored today. I've spent half my day writing a job application and the other half catching up on celebrity gossip. This is what I found out:Borat is right, Madonna DID look like a transvestite at the MTV Europe AwardsLeonardo and Giselle have broken up (Apparently because of Sienna Miller, which is strange considering the next item on my list)Sienna and Jude are back together (

Photo borrowed from ReutersThere has been rioting in the Paris suburbs for almost a weeks now and every night the streets are lit up by fires. Only last night 400 cars where burned, and there's been affrontment between youths and the police. The violences go back to last thursday when two kids, aged 15 & 17, died electrocuted in a Transformer Station in the suburb Seine Saint Denis. Allegedly,

The end of another week. I've been I Paris for 4 months now and I'm starting to feel well at home in the 2nd Arr, the area where I live. Today the weather was nice so I went for a walk around the block. I walked down rue Montmartre to Les Halles, the large shopping mall at the center of Paris. There's a small park there and the cafes where full of people enjoying the sunshine. I cut across the

A week ago I moved to a new office at work. Before I was in an open office area with the middle office staff, but now I've moved to another room. It's a very nice bureau with 3.5 m ceiling, woodwork walls, and a chandelier. I think it used to be the office of the bank manager, but I'm not sure. In any case it's very classy. Also, I've got my desk facing the door witch means I can do whatever I

After a weekend in Munich at the world famous oktoberfest coping with work was harder than usual this week. I had taken last friday off to fly to Germany where I met up with my host Björn, Per and Daniel. Friday was spent in the small village where Björns parents live, and we got to bed early knowing that tomorrow would be a long day.We got up at 7 and had breakfast befor taking the train into

TGIF! The weekend is finally here! After a week of recovering from the nasty flu I got last weekend I'm almost back in full health. I'm not sure if I should hit the Floorball practise tomorrow, but I'll probably will.Tomorrow I'm also invited to a birthday party. Quenstion: Can you buy a top for a girl you know by association?

Thursday was the last day of summer. I had a date with a girl and we met up at Cafe Noir, a bar of her choice(a very good choice, I know the place well). Things went pretty well, we were mostly chatting to get to know one another. She's a bit older than me, works as a freelance designer, and have been living in France for like 10 years. We agreed to see each other again.Let's get back to the

I went there to attend a house warming party outside of Geneva, on the invitation of JB, who went to the same school as me and who was also in Nice at the same time as me last year. .I have been to Switzerland once before, in 2003 for summer holidays, when I went camping along the north shore of the

Friday at work was tough, I was a bit hung over and since the AC is out of order we have a temperature of 30°C in the office. Off course I had to spend the whole morning with my boss showing the trade manager the work I had done and installing the application on his computer. I was sweating and not only from the heat. In the afternoon it was a bit calmer thank god.Last day of week is casual, so I

I used to be a steady festival goer in my youth. For 5 years in a row I went to the biggest festival in Sweden (Hultsfred) and often several others the same summer. It has been a while since I'd been to a rock festival, I think the last one was the Popaganda Festival in Stockholm 2 years ago. Last week I had the opportunity to go to Rock en Seine on Thursaday and Friday after work. I had gotten

After my failed attempt to enjoy a night of indie at the Pop In two weeks ago I still had the dance bug and this weekend I finally got to shake my tailfeather. I had invited Erin & Damien (+ some other people who didn't show) to go out on the town on Saturday night. After thorough research I had found another indie club called Truskel witch according to it's website was open and had a Rock en
