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.

A friday night quote

‘Spill your guts and throw it on the page of your pussy notepad that you are obsessively writing in. But really, all we ever wanted was to lie here and hear this music and watch the candle with an unknown scent of something chemical that is dressing up in a Swedish forest-like costume of Nordic berries.’

It was late as the Friday night came crashing down on us. But somehow it all made sense.

Also, I'm not gonna write about the tennis cause everything I promise in blogs never come true. I find no reason to diverge from that factual arrangement. Do you?
