Shit.
Here I turn my head for a second, and when I turn back towards the ‘net again, two months have passed. If I’d had a dollar for every time this has happened (or, perhaps more precise, for every time I’ve done this) in the last three years, I’d probably have… enough for a soda, anyway.
So, [...]

Perhaps my most dominant character trait. Not very flattering, I know, but there you have it.
Not again!
A Plague! A Plague on Our Houses!
In my Last.fm shoutbox, I was recently asked by one of my readers to post more frequently in my blog, and seeing as your whim is my law, I bring you this: an essay of sorts about the last topic you’d expected me to write about!
One of the things you might not know [...]
Hässelby by Johan Harstad
2007.
444 pages, Gyldendal hardcover.
This is a tale about Albert Åberg — the main character of a series of childrens’ books written by Gunilla Bergström in the early 1970s. What happened to him after his childhood in the quiet Stockholm suburb of Hässelby? How did he grow from a lively, enthusiastic boy to a disillusioned, bored [...]
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; [...]
A Near-Vomit Experience
The maggot cheese and the boiled duck fetuses nearly caused my supper to exit my body via the nose.
Oh, and check out the mock lutefisk ad.
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, [...]
Second day of work…
… and I’ve already been exhausted for one day, even though I haven’t really started on the tasks that actually require an effort. Damn, but I wish my sister had still been here to take care of all this pre-season stress…
Oh well. I might try to convince myself that with all this work, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Catch Me If You Ain’t Busy Peeling Labels Off Of Bottles
“Catch Me If You Can” was aired on Norwegian television tonight, and seeing as I’ve wanted to see it for a while, I sat down to watch it. Also, the trailer looked good.
And it was. The story was splendidly built and told, the chemistry between Abagnale and Hanratty was awesome, and the filming and the [...]
