Bryant and Zillmann (1984) discovered that stressed individuals watched more tranquil programs and bored participants opted more for exciting fare. (p.7)

Maybe this is why I like movies where nothing really exiting happens. There are very few explotions in my favourite movies for example.

Update: What you see above is Swedens logo for when they will hold the precidency of the EU this coming fall. It beats me how a country which is famous for it's contemporary design and good taste choose to spend 150,000 Euros on a tennis ball. My nation or origin is loosing it's touch. And did I mention, the currency is fucked.

This Is For The White In Your Eyes

So I went to a sauna with some people from floorball. Before the sauna we ran around like idiots in a small white box, it's called Squash by some people. The guy I played against called it 'a shit sport' instead. This was after I defeated him and his racket, which broke. Dutch saunas are interesting, they often choose to combine the men and women sections into one liberal combination of naked people. So we sat there and I complained about the Swedish krona which is at it's lowest point against the Euro since the Euro was introduced. When we came down to the showers someone had stolen everyone's shampoo except for mine, maybe since I carried mine in a executive traveler looking bag with the text 'Star Alliance – The airline network for Earth.' You don't mess with people with that kind of statement. Now I'm listening to the beautiful song Hollow Talk by the Danish band Choir Of Young Believers. If you want to join me, go here. Last year Jannis Noya Makrigiannis (who is the band) released a cd titled This Is For The White In Your Eyes, maybe the best album title of 2008.
