It's getting colder.

Yep, it's definitely not those hot summertimes anymore. Today when I got out I [for the first time this season] saw frost on my bike saddle and handlebars. When I went on the road, I also saw frost lying on the grass fields around me. I better be careful, I told myself. I still remember the experience i had like five years ago, being really(!) close to a possible lethal accident. It was the first real icy day of fall, and I was going down a hill, where at it's bottom I was about to cross a busy road. The lights were red, but the only car in the visible(!) lane was blinking to make a left, so I thought it was safe to cross. Then, only meters before the crossroads, I see this other car, sneaking up from the inner lane, not(!) preparing to turn left. I hit the foot brakes, but I (of course) only slide. He sees me, and makes a sudden left right into the lamppost. Pang! By this time, I've stopped. I'm in the middle of the driving lane, stunned, even paralyzed. His car front is mashed in by the form of a "V". I just stand there, unable to move. Then the driver throws up his door, I hear him taking of his seatbelt. He comes out. "Hey, are you ok?", he asks me. I just stand there, first unable to speak a word.

However, this is a moment that I will never forget. When come thinking about it, this man may well have saved my life by making the impulse decision he made. He could have just ran on over me, and it still wouldn't have been his fault. It was me, being foolish, not paying proper attention to neither the road conditions nor the red light. Gosh. Things like this really makes you wonder.

However, back to today. Like I said, it's cold. Now (a little past 11 AM) it's probably a bit warmer. I'm planing on taking a walk down to Microshop to look on some hardware accessories, later on of course. So, a brand new Monday. A clean shave and a happy smile. Well, as you may have noticed if you've compared my last two posts, it's a lot of up and downs. Mood swings, you may call it. Understandable though, when you look at it rational. It's a lot(!) right now. I mean, really, a lot. All the pieces will fall in place, eventually.

So, I've been watching some TV series. Like I may have said, I've watched 'Kyle XY' since they first aired it on Swedish television, around spring last year. However, now I've watched all aired episodes. To the end of Season 2, this is. However, I must say I start feeling a bit ridiculous about the whole show. It feels like a real teenager thing, with a possible target group at the age of 13-15, something like that. However, since I've started watching it, I just can not seem to make a sudden stop.

Anyways, I've also finished the second season of British TV series 'Skins', which is really great, definitely a series that everyone should watch. To make a clean cut, I paste the plot summary from IMDb.



The Dawson Bros claim the series represents the everyday lives of adolescents: Skins revolves around the lives of a group of 16–19 year-old friends who live in Bristol and attend the fictional Roundview Sixth Form College. Each episode has a self-contained theme and focuses on a different character, although several story arcs span different episodes. Accompanying the episode title at the beginning of each episode is a short montage of that episode's central character. The show's co-creator Bryan Elsley said that as Series 2 ends with the cast going off to university, it will not be possible to keep on following them in the future, and the show will operate in two year arcs with new casts.
