So Fell Autum Rain

I noticed an important change the other day. I was walking home through Slottskogen, the big park, in the rain. And it hit me, I have gone into autum mode. I tried to switch back to summer mode by pure force of will but as soon as I let my mind wander again I found it went back to autum mode. For thoose of you not already in sync with the workings of my mind (yeah thank God right?) I give you this list of examples of the modes. This is how the priorities change:


SPRING/SUMMER - AUTUM/WINTER
Outside serving area (Linnéterrassen) - Dark cellar pubs (Bishop's Arms)

Brooklyn Lager - Guinness

The Archipilago - The Cinema

GAIS at Ullevi - The Premier League in a sofa

All Along The Watchtower(Jimi Hendrix) - Not Going Away(Ozzy)

Beer infront of the TV - Tea watching a movie on the projector

Go for a walk - Don't get out of bed

Sunglasses - Nightvision gogglges


Most of all I long for a pitch black Guinness in a comfy chair at Bishops Arms. I can practicly taste it. Alas I am stuck at the ER another 8 ½ hours. Maybe tomorrow night. Until then, some mood pictures:

It's not necessarily worse or more depressing or whatever. It's just more ...withdrawn perhaps. Slower, darker, less energetic. But sweet in it's own ways. Less going out meeting people and more meeting up with the people you already know and like. Which is much better since most people are idiots anyway... :)

So I have accepted that the summer is all but over. The autum is here.

Let the leaves die,
the darkness come,
the rain fall.

I stand ready.
