A New Year – A New Post
This post will be very undramatic and laid back. I went to a really nice New Years Eve party last night at my friends house. The food, the company and the laughs — it was perfect.
I skipped making best of 2011-lists because that’s not really my cup of tea. My friends were at it like crazy urging me to make my own lists but no dice. I do enjoy reading some of them though. Especially when mp3 blogs list the 50 best tracks and you can download all of them and be reasonably sure they’ll all be good — if it’s a blog you trust top start with that is. I will just go on and post stuff that I like here at Fredstuff, like an ongoing list of things I like. No need to condense it into list form.
Now, let’s see what 2012 has in store for us!
Trailer: Prometheus
I’m eagerly awaiting the movie Prometheus. June 2012 can’t come fast enough. Some info from Wikipedia:
Prometheus is an upcoming science fiction film directed by Ridley Scott and starring Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Guy Pearce, Idris Elba, Logan Marshall-Green and Charlize Theron. The film was originally conceived as a prequel to Scott’s 1979 science fiction horror film Alien; however, the events of Prometheus will not precede any of the characters or storylines from the Alien franchise. According to Scott, though the film shares “strands of Alien’s DNA, so to speak”, Prometheus will explore its own mythology and universe and is not directly linked to Alien. Filming began in March 2011, and Prometheus is scheduled for release in the USA on June 8, 2012 through 20th Century Fox.
Loads of info at the Wikipedia page if you would like to know more, and you do. You also need to see the trailer in 720p or 1080p over at Apple Trailers. It’s that good.
A lot of things points to this being a super-terrific film. The director; Ridley Scott (duh!). One of the writers; Damon Lindelof of Lost fame. The cast; Noomi Rapace (Swedish!), Michael Fassbender, Guy Pearce and Charlize Theron. Production designer; Arthur Max (Black Hawk Down, Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven).

Heaven’s On Fire.
“Heaven’s on Fire” was the song that got me listening to Kiss. The Year was 1986, pretty late when it comes to Kiss. I remember it because I got “Animalize” by Kiss and “Come Out and Play” by Twisted Sister from my uncle that Christmas. If I recall correctly I also got “Slippery When Wet” by Bon Jovi. Things moved pretty fast from there, those records acted like a gateway drug into heavier stuff — one year later me and a friend formed a Death Metal band. I took the pic above on the Swedish Christmas Eve yesterday (December 24:th). The UK and the US celebrate tonight — once again, Merry Christmas! Or Happy Festivus as I prefer to say.
Happy Festivus 2011!
New Woodworking Project
Trying out the WordPress iPhone app — can’t sleep. I just started (earlier today) a new woodworking project. This time in glorious oak. I’ve done this same design two times before and I’m hoping this will be the best batch yet. Continuous updates will be posted so you can follow along until completion.
Now, let’s see if posting from this app is as easy as it seems.
