I'm listening to Dylan right now. Changing of the Guards, what a song. Seriously.

Bob is my favorite. As much as I love Gaslight, Tom Petty, Bruce, etc, no one will ever beat Bob in my book. He is the voice of every generation, a poetic genius, and one of the funniest people on the planet. I just love him and his music so much. Is Changing of the Guards your favorite Dylan song? Mine is LARS.

Yeah, I love Dylan. That one, Don't Think Twice or Spanish Boots. It's hard to choose one. I'm actually listening to LARS now

Me too! LARS is so brilliant!

You’ve gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it

Don't Think Twice is one of my favorites too. When I first listened to Sink or Swim, Angry Johnny was my favorite because of the Dylan references.

I'm pretty good, how are you, Olof? Does the sun shine at you today in Sweden? I love how you worded that by the way.

Nice!

I'm pretty good too. It does, spring is here. Thanks, haha.

Spring came early here too. It's going to be in the 70s all week with lots of sunshine after these clouds blow away later today. And the trees and flowers are blooming! I have mixed feelings about this because I am still mourning the winter that I didn't get. Sigh... At least I don't have to scrape ice off my car in the mornings anymore though!

We've had a couple of monstrous winters the last few years, so I'm really happy that spring came early.

I bet! Do you get really tired of the snow? We had a great winter last year with a few snow storms, including one that brought us about a foot and a half the day after Christmas. I was this close to a white Christmas! It was great! This year was really mild around here.

Picking a favorite Bob Dylan Song? that is like picking your favorite Child....I Guess If I have to, I do like Talking WW3 blues,Like a Rolling stone, many more as well....this is impossible!

But it's fun to try to rank them! Like a Rolling Stone has been my favorite song for the last 13 years or so, but my next few favorites change all the time. Right now some of my favorites are The Times They Are A-Changin', Don't Think Twice, Just Like a Woman, Lord Protect My Child, and It Takes a Lot to Laugh It Takes a Train to Cry. And Highway 61 Revisited is my all-time favorite album. Every song is a masterpiece.

Hmm...have you tried convenience stores or call centers? Places like those are pretty much always looking for people. Are you picky about where you work, or will any job do right now just to get a paycheck?

Nah, I like snow 'cause it makes it a little brighter. I do however get really tired of the cold and the slipperiness. Everyone should have the right to have a white Christmas!

I agree! White Christmases for everyone this year! I have never had a white Christmas, but I have hope that it will happen some day!

Sadly, the spring hasn't arrived in the more northern parts of Sweden (I currently live in Umeå).
I'm so jealous of everybody in the south.

I dreamed I was on tour with them as a photographer and yeah my disappointment was more about what did NOT happen! I even behave myself in my dreams! LOL

My schedule is all messed up. I go to bed so late that I don't get up til noon. My problem now is I woke up with a headache and can't shut my brain off. Boo!

Jimmy your sig has got to go. Even when you write somethig positive it is overshadowed by this long depressing sig.

Frank Turner covered Don't Think Twice last night. He said before one of the verses that it was the greatest verse ever written and now I can't remember what line it was. Will have to look it up.

Oh, sad! Here's some warm sunshine to cheer you up.

Do you still have a lot of snow? Sweden seems like such a beautiful country. I hope I am lucky enough to travel there someday.

Haha, Steph would be so disappointed in your dream, Lorraine! But how cool would it be to travel with a band as their photographer?

I agree about Jimmy's signature. How can he improve his outlook on life if that follows every post he makes here? Boo Eeyore, boo!

That sounds like an amazing concert! I'm interested to hear which verse if Don't Think Twice he thought was the best ever written. Please let us know if you think of it.

Do you study in Umeå? I have friends there.

Haha thank you!
Well, we don't have a lot of snow on the roads and sidewalks since it's around zero degrees (celsius) here, but there's spots that have several metres of snow (mostly from plowing(?) though) and the rest of the ground is still pretty snow covered.

Yes! I'm in my third and last year though so I'll soon be moving home (to Västerås).

I hope your headache goes away. I can't imagine sleeping until noon. I have never done that! I can't even remember the last time I slept past 6:30. During the week I'm up between 4:30-5:15 for work, and my brain just stays on that schedule through the weekend and even if I'm on vacation. I'm weird!

That's nice that you don't have to slip and slide on the snow and ice on the roads and stuff. That's the only thing I don't like about snow. Otherwise, I think it's great! I would love seeing those huge piles of snow all winter...and into the spring!

Yeah, I don't mind the snow as much as I mind the cold.

Some of the piles are INSANE, especially in the middle of the winter. Last winter I saw one that was so big that if you would've climb to the top you could've jumped easily right on to a balcony that was located on the second floor. I obviously didn't try it though.

Whoa, that's totally crazy! The biggest piles of snow around here from plowing have only been about five or six feet high, and that's only happened a couple of times.

Västerås is a nice city. My mom used to live there. I have yet to visit Umeå.

I'm going to a lake. Going to do some barbecuing.

Talk to you guys later!

Lucky you! Have fun, Olof!

I have class in 45 minutes. I don't want to go. Of course, I will end up going, but gah.

Damn I hate having a stuffed up nose and clogged throat...I can't sing right.

I envy you haha. As I said, I enjoy the snow but not when it goes into overkill mode.

Yeah, I like it. Umeå is nice too, but I really hate how it's so hard to actually go anywhere without having to pay half a fortune. Flight tickets are expensive and it takes me 12+ hours to go by train... and the train is never on time.

Ditch school! Go do something fun instead and pretend that school doesn't exist. I am a terrible influence. How did I ever become a teacher?!
