Kaizers Orchestra

Jeg er fryktelig glad i Kaizers, siste året på høgskolen hadde vi til og med vårt eget lille (vel, vi var vel 8 stk) Kaizers coverband, selv om mange vil si at det bare var en unnskyldning for å drikke midt i uka.

Fant en torrent på The Piratebay på ca 1 GB som inneholder masse bootlegs, demoer og masse annet rart fra gutta fra Bryne. Selv om bootleggene er temmelig crappy i kvalitet fant jeg en demoinnspilling av Ompa til Du Dør som er verd sin vekt i gull. Skikkelig gutterominnspilling! Ellers er Live at Vega noe av det bedre jeg har hørt - Kaizers er et live band og ikke lett å replikere på plate, dette er et veldig godt forsøk. Lurer på om jeg skal dra og se de på Bukta Festivalen..

Lazy engineers..

Halvveis norsk ihvertfall..

Sirimor minnet meg på i en kommentar i jarans blog at jeg ikke har skrevet så mye i det siste, noe som jo er sant. God blanding av at det er mye som skjer for tiden og at jeg er for slapp til å skrive. Faktisk er jeg så slapp at isteden for å forklare meg vil jeg heller henvise til jarans unnskyldning, bare bytt ut med mitt navn der det passer..

Et annet problem er at jeg kommer på ting jeg har lyst til å skrive om, men innen jeg finner en pc/har tid til å skrive så har jeg glemt det. Skal prøve med en huskelapp.

Language/Språk

Was talking with Marianne about this the other day - why do I write my blog in english. When I first started off I had this big decision to make; my main reason for choosing english was that I have come over so many links to blogs with things I'd like to read that have turned out to be french, spanish and such that I can't read. Annoying!

On a more general thought, as the world is getting smaller, people are travelling, mixing and blending I can't see that languages serve any other purpose than a hinderance to this. So I guess I'm not very nationalistic..

Anywho, I realized that I only care about real friends reading this blog, not internet friends, and most, if not all of the former speak norwegian and that those are the ones I write for. Not as if there is much of national value in my ramblings, let alone international.

Any thoughts? Jaran?

So - we are going norwegian!

Hallo ;-)

Home, ill

I got a cold at the end of last week and it hit me hard this weekend. Initially you think that it's not that bad, you get time to play computer, watch tv/movies etc.. how wrong was I! Just about the only form of entertainment occupying me the passed 4-5 days have been counting the tiles in my bedroom celing (which is 21). Thankfully I got a lot of sympathy from friends and all my extra-moms, and Tone even came by with Tom & Jerry-biscuits, coke and cartoons :-D

Fever is gone so I'll have a go at work tomorrow and see how it goes.

Local Celebrity Part III

Had almost forgot about this, but as promised here and here, here is finally my interview in electronic form! Actually it was my boss who found the electronic version today, but he's a good sport and actually posted it on our local news portal at work ;-)

Traded a paper clip for a house

Heard about this guy a while back, good to hear he (sort of) made it!
