“The Dragon Reborn”.

Utter devotion to something or other. An almost possessive liking of a person or an object. Too much of it’ll kill you, too, apparently. I wouldn’t know anything of that, though.

Scrooge McD Nostalgia
I bought the first volume of the Norwegian “Walt Disney’s Hall of Fame” today, a book that collects some of Don Rosa’s first and best Scrooge McDuck comics. I haven’t started on the comics themselves yet, as it had some snacks in the beginning that I have to read. One of these tasty little morsels [...]
Garden State
I watched my favourite romantic comedy last Thursday: Zach Braff’s “Garden State”. (Eh, this one was written about one month ago; I must have forgotten to submit it…)
It really is a magnificent little movie, which Braff not only wrote and directed, but also starred in. He played the main character, Andrew Largeman, a young man [...]
Ironic distance to “Buffy”? I think not…
Usually, when I’m watching a movie, a television show, or anything like that, I’m keep something of an ironic distance. I tend to laugh at things, to make fun, and to generally not take things seriously. Or, at least this applies when I’m watching something with others.
However, for a couple of nights now, I’ve been [...]
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.
A Angel-Buffy(in-nurse-costume)-Spike dream landscape with barbed wire.
Fi fa fucking fum.

“Well, this is really unimpressive. One attack by the undead and Renee has [...]
It’s The End Of The World As We Know It — AS5×22 Not Fade Away
That’s it. The end. And what an end it was.
By the time Angel said, “Well, personally, I’ve always wanted to slay a dragon,” I was sobbing — half laughing with joy, half crying from grief. Where the ending of “Chosen” just left me with a general feeling of relief and joy, where the only things [...]
I Need To Have My Head Checked — AS5×11 Damage
Oh man, oh man, oh man! this was some awesome stuff!
Yet another episode I remembered as mediocre at best, but proved to be indescribably beautiful in all its uncomfortable glory. First of the great parts was the Spike theme. How he initially in the episode said to Angel that he didn’t see the [...]
Whenever I feel down…
I take a look at this one. And this one. And suddenly things seem a little brighter.
(And I am well aware that I’ve linked to these stripes almost ten times before, but they really are that… man, I got to get around to reading some Jack Vance soon, so that I can learn some new [...]
Awesome music videos
Radiohead - Paranoid Android — I don’t love the video as much as I used to, but man, this is still a fucking mind-blowing song. Undeniably my favourite of all time.
Queen - I’m Going Slightly Mad — not only is the song weird in a good way, but the video is, in addtion to being [...]
VM2×22
That has got to be the most traumatic season finale I’ve ever seen. This one is a dangerous rival to BS5 and AS5, and I doubt I’ll get much sleep in the three hours remaining before I have class.
Damn, I gotta start downloading season 3 soon.
Terje loves Veronica
Yesterday afternoon, I suddenly felt the urge to watch some kind of TV show while eating dinner. I considered both “Carnivale”, “BSG” and “Angel”, but discarded them all. The two former (and especially BSG) are have too much background noise for me to pay proper attention to the dialogue while eating, and the latter… well, [...]
“Have you ever quoted Shakespeare with your beloved in a dark theatre hallway?” — AS3×13 Waiting In The Wings
I gotta admit I was somewhat flabbergasted when Loki listed this episode as one of his 25 favourites, because I just remembered it as a mediocre episode with a lot of dull ballet. Man, was I wrong…
This one’s awesome from beginning to end. All the way from the first scene, where Wes confides to Cordy [...]
I love Norway
I mean, in what other countries does the head of government show up for a five minute interview, an a rather critical one, too, on the national broadcasting company? I noticed this last Saturday, too, when “Sausage” Hansen, the secretary of labour, appeared for a couple of minutes, explaining some finer points of his recent [...]
#20! :D
Å Rosenborg, å Rosenborg
E Trondhjems fotballag
Å Rosenborg, å Rosenborg
Tar seiern hjem i dag
Vi reise oss på store stå
Når Troillongan går på
Å ingen banke RBK
Åheiåheiåheiåhååååååååååååååååååååååååååååå!
Yay, unless Brann gets two 6-0 victories in their last two matches, and Rosenborg gets two 0-6 defeats, it looks as if I’ll be buying a new shirt next year. [...]
I love my room
Twenty square meters, with enough clear space in the middle so that I can pace if I need to think. I can actually make five long paces without crashing into things, which means that I don’t get dizzy when I pace rapidly back and forth.
There’s a lot of other nice qualities to it, but at [...]
