"-at last!!"

It seems octopuses are interesting nowadays, Swedish television has a documentary on thursday evening in SVT1, at 20.00. The octopus is the most intelligent of all invertebrated animals, it says on the SVT webbsite, and there are ten different species along the Swedish west coast.
Maybe our newly started non-profit association, called the Octopus, is this city´s most intelligent one. :-)


These days also the Swedish Nobel Academy is about to announce this year´s winner in the category of litterature, there´s always a great stir and a lot of tension around that. Serious discussions in media, and spectacular betting in cultural circles. This year´s favourites are Claudio Magris, Joyce Carol Oates, Philip Roth, Amos Oz, Adonis, Ko Un among others. In swedish papers you´re able to put a vote, most voters though, believe in "somebody else", shows how hard it is to make a guess, and how the betters could make money when lucky ... We´ll hear all about the winner tomorrow on the 9th of October at 13.00., when the forever lasting and incessant secretary Horace steps out in the hall. Surpise! and .... "-at last!"
