When Kalle, Håvard and myself was at the hospital yesterday, the two former ones found a cheap DVD box in the hospital’s kiosk, a box containing three of Chuck Norris’ most famous movies. And as both Kalle and Håvard think Chuck Norris jokes are hilarious, they couldn’t do anything but buy this abomination. And tonight, [...]
Posts filed in Annoyance
Lots of things annoy me: Children, old people, liberals, conservatives, socialists, religious people, atheists, fruit, meat, the weather, various authors, chocolate, edible fluids (er…), certain forms of music, other forms of music, commercials, some movies, money, cars, busses, bicycles, forums, newspapers, my bed, crappy chairs — in short, what Tor Ã…ge Bringsværd referred to as “powder? powder!”
The posts tagged “Annoyance” contain rants about stuff that annoys me, or just brief mentions of such stuff.
Good Times…
Ah, ’tis been a crappy day, in some ways.
Omniously enough, it started out alright, with me and my flatmate Håvard watching “Hush” while eating dinner. And that episode is still one of the show’s (or at least the season’s) best ones; it’s funny, it’s scary, it has major turning points in the lives of both [...]
That’s it, then.
There’s dust on your guitar, you fuck, and it’s all your fault…
In four days, I am supposed to hand in a 25 pages long project paper in the pol.sci. course I’m taking. However, being a lazy, useless slob, I haven’t even begun reading for it yet. I tried to start working on it today, but [...]
Alien: Resurrection
I watched “Alien: resurrection” a couple of days ago, but haven’t gotten around to reviewing it before now. If you plan on watching these movies and dislike spoilers, I advise you to stop reading as this review has to reveal a few of the suspense-creating elements from “Alien 3″.
AR begins in an operating room. A [...]
Solaris
Me and one of my flat mates also watched “Solaris” tonight. And we both kinda wish we hadn’t.
Because this was uninteresting and boring. I won’t even try to describe the plot, except that it took place on a space station in orbit around the planet Solaris, and that strange things had happened. George Clooney’s [...]
Alien
Watched “Alien” with two of my flat mates tonight.
As a commercial towing ship is on its way home to Earth, the computer detects a signal, and wakes its crew. They believe this to be some kind of distress signal, and decide to go check it out, in case theree’s something they can do to help. [...]
Fuck…
I might just have to stop watching Battlestar Galactica. Because, apparently, it’s not Science Fiction:
“Even Battlestar Galactica, the flagship show of (hello!) the Sci Fi Channel, keeps a distance. ‘It’s fleshed-out reality,’ explains executive producer Ronald D. Moore in the sci-fi mag SFX. ‘It’s not in the science-fiction genre.’”
Also, a man who has obviously read [...]
A View To A Kill
Just watched “A View To A Kill” on the telly. It was one of the first Bond movies I ever saw, and I remembered it as fairly good. I was wrong. Kinda.
Because the plot’s not all that bad. Christopher Walken is excellent as the villain, a former KGB agent named Zorin. He wants to flood [...]
Daredevil
Okay, so I am a sucker for comic books adapted to film, but this is where I draw the line.
I don’t think there was one thing, really, which appealed to me in this movie, with the possible exceptions of the guy who played the Kingpin and the ending — i.e. how Daredevil decided to deal [...]
Phew.

That’s gotta be one of the hardest papers I’ve ever written. Sure, the theory and the empirics was child’s play, eight pages [...]
Muahaha, de trodde de var smartere enn meg…
… men den gang ei! For der de stiller meningsløse krav til meg, vil jeg svare på en tilsvarende meningsløs måte! Bare se:
Fra “Om Semesteroppgaver Ved Institutt For Sosiologi Og Statsvitenskap”:
“Alle må referere til minst en artikkel fra et samfunnsvitenskapelig tidsskrift”
Fra innledninga til min semesteroppgave ved samme institutt:

If there is a God of procrastination…
So. Five days left till the term paper in “Social scientific method” is due. And I was supposed to have started working on it today. But what happened?
Well, I sat down to begin reading some empirics about gender and wage levels and stuff. I think I read perhaps a page or two, but unfortunately I [...]
I am worried…
Because the rate at which my sister watches Buffy? Frighteningly fast. And unlike me, she actually has a conscience to get her out of bed in the mornings, so where my staying up extremely late during my worst Angel and Buffy addictions last spring only messed up my day rythm, her doing the same messes [...]
Star Wars Episode II: The Attack of the Clone
A.k.a. Haydn Christensen. Whose horrible acting is the most prominent attribute of this movie. In fact, Håvard and myself spent much of the movie making fun of this helpless young fellow (I believe I at one point commented on the striking resemblance between his mouth and an anus), and bemoaning what a total jerk Anakin [...]
Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Substance
Luckily, when we’d watched “Thirteen Days”, my room mate with the cold decided to go lay down for a couple of hours, so I finally got around to cleaning. Which was an annoying task to preform, since I got the impression that the other guys haven’t done it good enough the last couple of weeks. [...]
Just popping in…
… to post a kind of a memo to self:
Terje, you prancing ponce, when you get home, and have a moment of respite, check out Hal Duncan’s blog, and his post on elitism, escapism and all that stuff in particular. And for now, please try to pay attention to the nice lady who’s trying her [...]
Taxi Psychotic
I didn’t get to watch as many movies as I hoped and planned to this week, but at least I found the time to get the weekly quota filled. Here’s the second film I watchd this week, “Taxi Driver“.
I’d heard a lot of good stuff about this one, and the names of the writer, director [...]
I could have been elsewhere…
Today, I’d originally planned to attend a guest lecture held by Petter Eide, secretary general of the Norwegian section of Amnesty International, in which he’d speak about the conditions of human rights during this “War on terror” that seems to be going on. (By the way, how’s that going for them?) But because my dad [...]
The Surpriser
Alright, I thought I’d follow up “Donnie Darko” with watching another one of my DVDs that I haven’t seen before, as I said I planned on doing. Also, It has been kindly suggested that I’m too kind when I rate movies.
Thus, I required a DVD I hadn’t seen before, and one which I suspected I [...]
The collapse of the international economy in the Interwar Years — lecture #7
Damn, it’s been a month since the last time I posted the notes to a history lecture, and now I have some fifteen untouched lectures to work my way through, in addition to the approximately ten still remaining. Damn me and my cursed laziness. Anyway, here we go:
————————————————————————————————————————–
WWI represents a definite shift in world history. [...]
