The lineup is pretty much final now. There’s Swedish west coast, east coast, Bible belt, winner-of-Swiss-nationals almost-Swedish-ex-pat, Paga Spirit winners, Titanium rods, fiance and fiancees, fathers, ze Germans, Canadians ey, Colt .45-players and critics. Will we have an Italian wedding this time around??
To finish off, yes, Sweden and Switzerland are different countries! We got hard-to-sell car companies and Ericsson mobile phones while Switzerland got chocolate, cheese and great slopes. You might wonder why one would stick around up here instead of hitting the European mainland? The rest of the country seems to suck when it comes to government, opening hours, etc. Someone to contradict me? 
A Stockholm Syndromes website update is en route.. Hopefully better looking and easier to maintain than the present..

Another edition of Winter Trophy has ended. Our performance was pretty piss-poor. Lost every game on Saturday. Against Carnegie, I probably played one of my worst games ever. We played Frizzly Bears (L:11-13), Viksjöfors (L:4-13), Frövi (L:9-12), Carnegie (L), Mönsterås (W:13-(something less than 8)) and Farmers (W:12-11). We lost 5 consecutive points to Farmers before winning..
Viksjöfors (SWE) won the open final against Karhukopla (FIN), and Viima (FIN) won the women’s final against The Animals (GB).
I must commend the Winter Trophy TO’s for the whole setup with the accommodation/dinner/party included in the player fee. Apparently the Saturday buffet kept running out of chicken, but I never really suffered from it since I had sushi somewhere completely different.
No Breaks #6 saw the light of day around February 5th. I’m bringing my LED discs to Paga for sure. The Thursday night party with free pasta and red wine wouldn’t be the same without LED discs!

I watched Amarcord for an hour. I am thinking about continuing, but since I can’t fast forward the damn thing (don’t ask), I have to let it run for an hour and THEN get back into the story. I think I’ll just let it be and see what Jumpi comes up with. I’m not really worried. This is my third Paganello visit, and I haven’t been let down yet. Me and Marcus spent an hour or so looking for logos for our jerseys. We found this and agreed that it would look awesome with VC’s sublimation jerseys. But $70 per jersey is taaad to much for us I think, unless we get a cool sponsor etc. 5 Ultimate would be something like $30 per jersey with a 2-color logo and numbers on the back. Jump & Reach got their Paga special with Paga numbering. But since there doesn’t seem to be a fast way to find out how much printing logos would be, the €25 is just the beginning.. However, they do have the free shipping directly to the beach. Decisions, decisions..
Oh hey, almost an hour have passed, back in the movie where I quit watching the last time. Let’s get it over with. Or I’ll just continue listening to where paused the 3rd episode of The Ultiverse. The advantage of The Ultiverse is that I don’t have to watch the TV to read the subtitles of the Italian movie..
To finish it off: A new strip from Sam at No Breaks

I’m getting more and more excited. We’re 12 players for Paganello, waiting for a reply for a possible final 13th. Lucky for some. Had a nice Skype conversation with some of the guys and we agreed that the roster looks really promising. Hopefully we’ll assimilate faster this year. Who knows, maybe we’ll beat last year’s placing.
While waiting I got some tips for you:
* No Breaks – A brand new Ultimate web comic strip by Sam Rayner, an 18 year old web developer from Birmingham, UK. Ultimate nerd humor. Hope he keeps it up!
* The Ultiverse – Will Neff got a new episode up, this time interviewing Pad from Discraft.
* ultimate-trainer.com – If you feel the need to throw like a pro, this is your rescue.
But wait a minute.. To be picky, the only real professionals (i.e. getting paid to play) I know of in Ultimate are Buzz Bullets. They are hired by a company to play Ultimate. I wonder what that does to a relationship..
Screw it. I’m off the night shift soon. I’ll be a such a relief. Pretty tired right now..
