24 and Monkey news!


The first 2 episodes of 24 season 5 (4 hours total) were available this morning!
Episode 7 of Ricky Gervais Show is also out! I found a BT seed of all the episodes from the archives of the show over at XFM (probably something like 35 hours..) and two really long shows from BBC radio and some more stuff - have a look over at mininova.org.

Update: Just came over this: Some animations of Ricky, Stephen and Karl, pretty funny.

Rambo: First Blood

They are showing Rambo: First Blood on TV tonight, I love that movie! In my opinion it is not comparable to the two other movies at all - I find this one really intriguing and I think it has a very real, deep and tragic view on what might happen to someone returning from war. I don't think it stops there, it may apply to any situation where you go from one reality to another that you can not cope with alone.

I am planning to watch The Matador sometime soon, as I gather it is based on the same concept. So is season 2 of 24 when I think of it..

Update: Just started thinking: why are the sequels called Rambo: First Blood Part II and III, and not Rambo: Second Blood and so forth..?

The Gone Jackals #2

Anders made a nice write-up of The Gone Jackals that I mentioned earlier. Who would guess they had Parkrangers in their fanbase? :-)

The stove.

Last Wednesday I finally bought myself a stove. For the passed two years I have only had a microwave and a simple make-shift plate to cook my food (for those days I actually make my own food at home). Mom and dad have been trying to convince me to get a proper one for, well, two years, and this christmas my present from them were money for this. As mentioned the plate caught fire in the christmas holiday, so after over a week of micro-food I finally got to the store to get a propper oven. I went there thinking I might get a good one for, say,4-5 000 NOK - was I wrong! A clean 7,500 later I was a proud oven-ovner :-)

Anywho, that's not why you called.. The store ppl said it would be delivered the following day, and I had to be at home from 16:00 till 19:00 as they do all their deliveries in one go. So I hurried home after work and cleared up space and waited. And waited. And waited... At 20:30 I gave up (after trying to get hold of the transport-ppl in any imaginary way) and hungry as I was made a simple micro-prepared meal. Half way through it, at 21:00, guess who showed up?! Man, I was so furrious and prepared a whole hat0r speach to give to the deliveryguys (when I told this to some friends the other day they just laughed as they imagined me giving and angry-speech..). Well, it turned out I knew one of the guys so I kinda left it at that.. ;-)

The end of the story was that it was like 22:00 when I finally had it set up and prepared, I was half-hungry and tired, so I ditched the big nice meal I had planned to prepare and made a pizza..

All in all it is really good, fast and reliable so I guess I have what I need of whiteware for now.

Do bathtubs drain counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere?

This write-up blew my mind, I now have the feeling I have to fundamentally go back and re-think every single truth I have accumulated over my (soon) 25 year life. Will have a go at my sink tonight. Give it a read, more from Cecil to come.
