One of my first posts ever on this blog was a preliminary review of a TV-show titled “Dexter“. When I wrote that review, I had only watched four episodes of the show, but that didn’t stop me from naming it one of my favorite shows around. Season 1 of Dexter ended Thursday evening, and [...]

A Man amongst Men; Terje Phlegmont Mendoza
I’m willing to bet that whoever is reading this post regards themselves as a person with no major flaws in either appearance or character. As a prophet of the forthcoming Apocalypse, I’m required to inform that you are wrong. You are flawed in every possible and impossible way imaginable to the human mind. Especially [...]
Shocking News: The Hugo’s
This year’s Hugo nominations have been published, and the real shocker is that I haven’t made it this year either. But I don’t let small things like that bring me down; I’ll get that nomination next year. Here is the entire list and some comments of mine:
Novel
Michael F. Flynn, Eifelheim (Tor)
Naomi Novik, His Majesty’s Dragon [...]
The Proud shall be Struck Down
Man, oh, man; I should get a triple dosage of lightning from the clear blue sky, ’cause I received my very own copy of “You’re not Fooling Anyone When You Take your Laptop to a Coffee Shop; Scalzi on Writing”. It’s easily the most expensive book I’ve ever bought, but I really couldn’t care less [...]
Thomas Myhre and a Monkey
What’s the difference between a monkey in a cage and Thomas Myhre?
Easy; there is no difference.
I just finished watching Turkey-Norway, a match which Norway had won if it hadn’t been for “Mr. I don’t understand the concept of being a football keeper”, Thomas Myhre. If he doesn’t get axed after those two dreadful mistakes, I’m [...]
Grøss - norsk film
What do you do when your Norwegian teacher decides to make you write a blog post, but in the gawd awful language that is Norwegian I could elect not to do it, but that would be wrong. I’m to much of a wimp to choose that particular option. I could write the damned thing [...]
Give Me a Gun!
Every day when I walk home to my house I pick up the household mail. I, of course, peruse the address bar of each and every strip of paper, just to see if somebody out there know I’m alive and have sent me mail to tell me so (or maybe some useful stuff to boot). [...]
Mmmmm… Books…
Even though my hear is flaring and my wallet’s having a nervous breakdown, this was so incredibly worth it. Take a look at the last item on the list: “You’re Not Fooling Anyone When You Take Your Laptop to a Coffee Shop”. I had all but given up hope of finding it anywhere but Ebay, [...]
Embrace Your Dorkiness
As mentioned in the previous blog post, I was going to watch “Wayne’s World” last night. I bought the movie on a simple whim, and even though it looks really bad judging from the cover, I decided to give it a go.
And I’m glad I did. “Wayne’s” World” must be one of the weirdest and [...]
A Lively Update #2
The past few days have been hectic by my relaxed standards, so I haven’t had the time to write anything major her on The Apocalypse, nor have I really had anything major to report on. This has resulted in a little pile up of things and oddments I’d like to share with you.
Why I’ve got [...]
