Rather out of the blue, I ended up seeing Superhero Movie with a friend last night. And man, am I sorry. But I’ll get back to that. First, a plot synopsis.
Rick Riker is Peter Parker, only more (exaggeratedly) so and with more unmotivated and unfun slapstick accidents happening to him. He is in love with [...]

Happenstance, accidents which seems as if they were arranged. There’s a lot of these around, you hardly even have to look closely to find some.
Superhero Movie
Inspiration strikes from the weirdest skies…
So, we’re doing syntax in the English linguistics course I’m taking, and in today’s lecture, we went through the various ways of determining whether or not a string of words is a phrase or not — a mildly put important part of the whole syntax bit. One of the examples the lecturer used was the [...]
Another one of GRRM’s ASOIAF fantasy references?
So far, I’ve noticed references to at least two other writers of Epic Fantasy in George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire. The first was quite simply the use of the name Vance on one of Westeros’ noble families, and the second (which I admittedly didn’t discover myself, I’m ashamed to say) is [...]
Curses! Or constructing next term’s schedule
I checked my course registration page at NTNU (ooh!) about an hour ago, and much to my delight I discovered that I’ve been registered for not two but three courses this spring, and that these three combined fill my required term quota of 30 study points.
English Linguistics gives me 7,5 points if I pass it; [...]
‘Tis been a good day, so far…
First, I took my NwN Dwarven monk through a couple of levels. Which is always fun, as they get so many feats and special abilities, it’s a treat to play them. Then, just as I had cleared level 7 and killed Head Gaoler Aelfinn, I was roused by my flatmates who desired my company for [...]
X-Men: The Last Stand
I feel like beating myself around the head with a heavy stick. Over a month ago, I watched X-Men: The Last Stand, and I have neither reviewed it here, nor entered into my movie log. Action must be taken; amends must be made!
Knowing my very exclusive readership, I’ll skip my usual half-arsed attempt at a [...]
Norske språklyder
Jeg kan hverken fatte eller begripe at Gudene har sett med slik velvilje på meg, og latt noen skape dette fantastiske programmet, utelukkende for min convenience. Jeg føler meg som universets navle. Eller, navler er egentlig ikke så jævla tøffe. La oss gå for øyesten.
Ja, øyesten høres bedre ut. (Ikke dermed sagt at det er [...]
My Gods, I feel lucky…
… to be born in this day and age, and in this country.
As an example of the former, I choose the fact that it’s no more than perhaps two hundred years since chimneys became common in Norway.
As an example for the latter, I must say that even though I am baffled, at times, at how [...]
Movies Galore: A Summary
It’s nearly two months since my last movie review — a review, I might add, where I was unreasonably hard on the reviewed movie, as the fact that I’m in a foul mood shouldn’t really count against it. Anyway, since then I’ve watched a lot of movies: excellent movies, great movies, good movies, mediocre movies, [...]
Diabolical spam
It’s not even 48 hours since the last time I deleted all the spam comments the spam filter has filtered out for me, and yet, this.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Long Way Home, part III
Whoa.
And when I was done, Queen’s “You Take My Breath Away” was next in line in my WMP playlist. How’s that for a coincidence?
Half-way evil Willow.

2007-04-27 — Quote of the Day & Bab 5
Morden: “What do you want?”
Vir: “I want to live just long enough to be there when they cut off your head and stick it on a pike, as a warning to the next ten generations that some favours come with too high a price. I would look up on your lifeless face and wave, like [...]
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 [...]
Oh man…
I just watched a couple of minutes of a “60 Minutes” program, where they interviewed Bill O’Reilley (or however in Hel it’s spelled). And even though the interviewer was so critical as to almost be refered to as “hostile”, and in spite of O’Reilley’s obvious vanity and arrogance, the interview managed to create some sympathy [...]
w00t! yayz0r! And some more restrained comments.
First of all, lets get all this emotion out of the way:
Yaaaaaaaaaaaay! “Batman: Year One” by Frank Miller has arrived!
And almost one month before I expected it to come, at that!
Additionally, Year One wasn’t the only thing waiting for me when I came home from Røros last night. SFX #154 had [...]
Wee!
Logging on to my favourite fantasy forum today, I found two great news in one post. The news were so great that I at first had some problems accepting them as true, so I set out so dig up som news about these supposed future events — the making of two television shows, based on [...]
Randomness — BSG and Douglas Adams
I was just brushing my teeth, and my mind was springing from thought to thought as I did so. They jumped from Battlestar Galactica and Gaius Baltar’s Cylon problem to lechery, from lechery to Marilyn Manson, back to lechery and Battlestar Galactica, via some other, less well defined areas of though.
And suddenly it struck me: [...]
Divided loyalties — AS3×3 That Old Gang Of Mine
(”Divided Loyalties” is, now that I come to think of it, a HoMM III map.)
And wow. A brilliant episode, stuffed with awesome character moments, some long due focus on Gunn, also some silliness. I mean, how can one not like this show?
This is perhaps one of the strongest stand-alones that I can remember. That is, [...]
Beast within — AS2×22 There’s No Place Like Plrtz Glrb
My last reaction, as Angel found Willow in the hotel lobby: They aired this back to back with the last episode of Buffy’s season 5? o.O
Now, don’t get me wrong, I loved this episode; it’s perhaps the best one of all the Pylea episodes, with at least three great character moments (Angel’s resiting the demon; [...]
