Get out of my subconscious, Bjorn.

I feel like I'm coming down with something - even repeated singing along to 'Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered' isn't perking me up - which would be annoying considering I'm going to Cambridge tomorrow and have been in the bloom of health so far this vacation. Being ill in Cambridge sucks; my room is either too cold (when I've had the window open at some point in the past week) or eye-dryingly warm (when I turn on the heater, which is directly behind the head of my bed), and getting food requires a major active effort. Still, I'm looking forward to going; a change of air and a few Innocent smoothies will do wonders.

I do wonder, tangentially, why bed technology hasn't progressed further; beds are amazing, but frankly they're still suboptimal. I want one with head- and footrests that tilt up and down (I know Hans has a hospital-issue one, but why aren't all of them like that?), and I should be able to set its temperature without having to resort to barbarisms like adding or subtracting blankets. Possibly there should be a massage feature.

Dream in the early hours of the morning: I am on a school trip that never seems to get out of the airport. We have been given an assignment to write a poem about Björn Borg, and I'm taking it quite seriously. The poem I finally write is very good, but our teacher doesn't ask us to hand them in; instead we have to pick one (mine doesn't get picked) and do it as a song and dance. The musical performance turns out great too, but it's still a bitter disappointment.

Man er vel bekymret for at folk da aldri vil komme seg opp av sengen.

Det diktet vil jeg gjerne lese

Jeg husker ca hvordan layouten var, tre ganske lange vers uten fast rim- eller rytmeform, om konflikten mellom tennisen og familielivet hans.

"Wtf" blir bare fornavnet.

"Når" og ikke "hvis", haha. Jeg synes det er en utmerket idé; det gjelder å se hva som er feil med verden og så fikse det for egen økonomisk vinning. Hvilket nesten er det motsatte av akademia, bortsett fra det med å se hva som er feil med verden.

*sukk*

Det blir i hvert fall hardcore kaffe når jeg kommer frem! HARDCORE
