If the day has 24 hours and I get to sleep 6 hours, one hour for getting ready&breakfast and 2 hours and a half wasted in the bus (I sleep in that half hour) and 1 hour for lunch, we have 9 that I’m not online. Of course that at work of the 8 hours of work, I’m online an avergae of 5-6 hours because I have to do research.

OK. Enough about counting wasted hours of my life and back to what I was about to write today and didn’t because I was reminded that I had to work. Don’t you just love when a favorite actor has a role in a movie that looks that can do good for his/her career? I heard of Public Enemies, movie directed by Michael Mann, on the day the Academy Awards were held and while reading the cast attached to it, Johnny Depp, Christian Bale, Giovanni Ribisi and Marion Cotillard, without knowing the plot, I immediately thought that Billy Crudup should’ve been there. And last night before bedtime, I checked some movie news and oh surprise, he just joined the cast.

Now, if anything I wish could come true just like that…

To something completely unrelated yeat something I love. I listen to Swedish musicians of different genres since the later days of ABBA and I know many share this fascination, not exactly since ABBA but probably later, no doubt CNN once said that Sweden was the 3rd largest exporter of music in the world.

One genre that is left for me to discover (as I’m not familiar with it and maybe I wasn’t made to like it) is jazz. Yet, I know that the Scandinavians in general do it well and that’s the only bit of jazz that I (unfortunately) listen to.  While doing my music research homework (searching for some albums to download) I came across Fredrika Stahl’s A Fraction of You, I was listening to it on the way to work and it was a lovely mix of pop-jazz which reminded me of Silje Nergaard.  If you like female singers and pop jazz, you can start checking out these two or also last.fm and the compilations Jazzflora:Scandinavian Aspects of Jazz and Nordic Lounge.

Oh, it’s getting late anyway.
