Shortest Day of the Year

Tomorrow is the shortest day of the year - with 6 hours, 3 minutes, and 40 seconds of daylight. Sunrise is at 8:45am and sunset is at 2:48pm.

The darkness really doesn't bother me that much during the week. However, it messes me up on the weekends, especially on Sundays. I have been going into Stockholm every weekend so far. I've been out most Saturday nights so I usually sleep in, have breakfast, and I don't make it out until 11 or 12 (leaving only a few hours of daylight). On Sundays, everything closes at 4pm. I get back to my apartment and make dinner (because I didn't have lunch and am hungry). Then, I start to figure out what I'm going to do before I go to bed. But, then I realize, it's only 5:30! (It only feels like 11:30.) I think this has happened every Sunday so far!

I got a DVD player (for Christmas) last weekend (country code specificity on laptops is lame!) and the movie rental store 10 min away is open until 10pm. Now, Sunday night is movie night. If you rent any good movies, let me know. If you know what the Swedish title is (or can tell me what the jacket looks like), that would help too!
