It would seem that WP has started cencoring comments where the word “fuck” is used. I abhor cencorship in general, but this pointless kind is the godfucking worst.
I’ll see if I can do anything about it, but I’ve skimmed all the dashboard pages, and if I’m unable to remove this cencor filter… I might just [...]

Fuck it, I feel like getting Tourette’s
2007-09-30 — Quote of the Day
I snatch a time when I crouched outside the meadhall hearing the first strange hymns of the Shaper. Beauty! Holiness! How my heart rocked! He is dead. I should have captured him, teased him, tormented him, made a fool of him. I should have cracked his skull midsong and sent his blood spraying out wet [...]
Seven things about me…
I just noticed I got tagged with some kind of bloggy pass-it-on by Zhayena, and although I fear it might be a bit old (there weren’t really any apparent key stamps there, as far as I could see), here it is, seven more or less serious facts about me. I usually define myself out from [...]
Ullr, the onion of war!
From Wikipedia’s kenning article:
Bárum Ullr, of alla
ímunlauks, á hauka
fjöllum Fyrisvalla
fræ Hákonar ævi;
nú hefr fólkstríðir Fróða
fáglýjaðra þýja
meldr í móður holdi
mellu dolgs of folginn
Simply based on meaning, i.e. without kennings, the passage runs: “Accursed King Harald! We carried gold in our arms during all of Hakon’s life; now the enemy of the people has hidden gold in [...]
Gudenes Fall
Gudenes Fall, by Cornelius Jakhelln.
2007, 428 pages.
Now, this might be a little weird. Gudenes Fall (The Fall of the Gods) is a book that most likely never will be translated into English, and yet, I choose to review it in English. But hey, my English is still worse than my Norwegian.
In the year 1000 AD, [...]
Sigh…..
I haven’t reviewed a single book in two months, while I at the same time haven’t read as many books in as short a time in years.
Luckily, about half of these books were Harry Potter books, which I’ve read before, and I don’t review books I’ve read before. I probably could have left off terry [...]
Red vs. Blue, season 1
I never thought a show about a bunch of morons standing in the middle of nowhere, with a lot of heavy weaponry, could be this fun.
Good stuff.
Scrubs, season 5
Yeah, yeah, I know: they’re occasionally repeating the same jokes, and the whole concept might be getting a tad tired.
But I still love it. I still think it’s fun to watch the Janitor torment JD, I still laugh when Turk tries to stand up to Carla, I still pity JD one moment only to hate [...]
2007-09-29 — Quote of the Day
“I repeat Sturgeon’s Revelation, which was wrung out of me after twenty years of wearying defense of science fiction against attacks of people who used the worst examples of the field for ammunition, and whose conclusion was that ninety percent of it is crud.
The Revelation: Ninety percent of everything is crud.”
- Theodore Sturgeon,
Venture Science [...]
Ugly Betty, season 1
What a nice little show!
Or, perhaps, what a nice, bug (edit: this is obviously supposed to be “big”, but I think the typo’s amusing enough to be spard correction) show, as it’s a 23 episodes long season, with 42-minutes long episodes.
Well, no matter its size, the fact remains that its a nice one.
The characters were [...]
Bionic Woman — another first impression
This series has gotten a bit of hype in SFX in the last months, so I’d thought I’d give it a go. And the pilot looked good. Here’s what I thought of it.
Jaime Sommers is a college drop-out, who’s working in a bar and dating Will Anthros, a surgeon-professor-guy-thing. One night after a date, the [...]
Journeyman — a first impression
I caught the first episode of this show the other day, as one of my flat-mates recommended it to me, and he usually has top-drawer tastes. He might be onto something this time, too, although I remain sceptical.
Because basically, this reminds me of a rip-off of the show “Early Edition”, only instead of getting the [...]
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, [...]
2007-09-08 — Quote of the Day — part 2
“Money is the key to end all your woes
Your ups, your downs
Your highs and your lows,
Won’t you tell me last time
That that love bought you clothes?
It’s like that, and that’s the way it is.”
— Run D.M.C.,
“It’s like that”.

“Hallows, Goodbye.
So, the end is here. After lears, laughs, frustrations and speculations, at the stroke of midnight I grabbed hold of a copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and began to devour it.
It’s a brilliant book, and one which also stays solidly true to the values of the series as a whole: that [...]
Concerning Harry Potter…
You know you’ve read too much Harry Potter in too short a time when you one night dream that you, brandishing a fucking huge two-handed sword (originally belonging to one Godric Gryffindor, I seem to remember), kill one of your flat-mates, because, apparently, he’s Voldemort.
Seventh term of higher education — what’s up?
So. I’ve been attending NTNU for over three years now, and thus I ought to have completed at least one degree. But, as has been reported here before, no such luck. Or, rather, no such skill, as this has more to do with my laziness, really.
However, I was still supposed to have finished my bachelor [...]
There and Back Again (and There Again, and Back Again), or a Terje’s Tale
So, I’ve pretty much been AFK for the last month or so, and thought I’d try to milk that fact of a blog post or three, starting with this one: A short attempt at working through what I’ve been up to. (I have some problems remembering, myself, actually, so even if no one else’s interested, [...]
Angel: After the Fall
Here I isolate myself from the world (i.e. the wondrous interblag) for a mere fortnight or so, and when I return, what do I find out? That The Eternal Master, Mr. Joss Whedon, is helping some guy (his name’s Brian Lynch, I think) write an in-canon “Angel season six” comic!
It’s too much. I have to [...]
