Getting started

So I have a blog. Yay. (hold for applause)

I'm writing in English (not my native language) partly because I need to keep my english fresh (writing a few pages a week can't hurt) and partly because the people I know are a pretty international bunch. Feel free to leave comments in Swedish, though. Of course, you can leave comments in Klingon for all I care, but I cannot promise you an answer if you do.

I don't really expect a whole lot of people to read this, but if they should, that's not really a problem since I won't be writing anything that personal.
So, what will this blogg be about? Perhaps some of you remember Morgan Spurlock, the guy from "Supersize me". He had this project where he ate exclusively at a well-known fast food restaurant (wink, wink) for 30 days, and to everyone's surprise (not), got fat. Anyway, he went on to produce a reality show, "Morgan Spurlock's 30 days" , where people did stuff for 30 days to see how it changed them. Or someting like that. It was on pretty late, and I never paid much attention. But i did like the general idea.

Anyway, the idea is for me to take on a series of 30 day projects, and log my progress here. First up is January, or as I like to call it, "Month of learning Russian". (I'm thinking February will be "Month of learning how to draw birds", or something like that. That will allow me to actually publish some proof of my progress)

Okay, it's not like I'm going to learn Russian to a point where I can write lenghty theses on Dostoyevskijan existensialism in the language anytime soon, but I'm aiming for the level where I'm at least able to read a newspaper article. Also, I've always wanted to understand what the bad guys in movies and videogames say.


That's it for today, I've got cyrillic letters to grind.

Da svidanya, comrades!
