Terje, having woken up from his long lasting coma (or something to the same effect), has started blogging again. For some reason he’s tagged me to tell you seven personal things about me, and seeing as I’m a very silly person, the things you’ll be hearing is also pretty unusual.
I like to sing. I know [...]

Seven Silly Things Regarding Yours Truly
Fireworks with Fancy Words and “Oh my God, it burns!”
Lo and behold - Lotta has returned safe, albeit not completely soundly from his escapades to more civilized parts of the place we call Norway. It would appear that your behavior in my short absence has been spotless, which, you know, makes me all warm and fuzzy. Come to think of it, I’ve [...]
Gone, Daddy, Gone
Tomorrow I’ll be away on a something called “Researcher’s Night” in the fair city of Trondheim, where I’ll be gettin’ down with the smartest High Schoolers in my county. This means that I won’t be around here to watch you, so, you know, behave yourself. No messing about, you hear? And don’t drink the Kool-aid [...]
Quel Maledetto Treno Blindato (Inglorius Bastards)
Quentin Tarantino is currently working on a re-make of this ‘78 WWII classic. I watched the original to see whether or not it had any potential.
I realize now, looking back, that this was a mistake. I should never have watched it.
‘Cause now I can’t stop imagining what fun I’ll have when Tarantino makes it a [...]
The Departed
This is the second time I watch this film. The first was during what one could call “less than optimal” conditions. Sometimes I had no sound, sometimes only background music and for one reason or the other the subtitles claimed that every line contained dairy references. Naturally I didn’t grow particularly fond of this Oscar [...]

Scalzi has previously stated that he wouldn’t [...]
What Slapped a Grin on My Face This Morning
Jose “The Special One” Mourinho has resigned from his job as manager of Chelsea Football Club. Now, normally I wouldn’t care to comment on the affairs of other teams and their staffing, but Mourinho is undoubtedly “special”, and so was the circumstances leading up to this event. My favourite Norwegian football club, Rosenborg [...]
Mistborn (The Final Empire) by Brandon Sanderson
A thousand years ago, an unknown threat called the Deepness was about to be devour the world. In its way stood a man, a prophesied Hero and the only man who could save the world. The priests said he would have the power to save the world. And destroy it…
Fast forward to present time: the [...]
In Memory of Robert Jordan
By the time you read this, chances are good that you’ve heard the sad news. Robert Jordan finally gave in to his terminal sickness at 02.45 early this morning. My thoughts now go out to his family and all the fans worldwide who will morn the passing of the author of one of the best-selling [...]
Cinderella Man
“It’s no joke, pal. People die in fairy tales all the time”
- Max Baer to James Braddock, aka “Cinderella Man”.
This particular DVD has been staring back at me for a couple of months now, just waiting to be opened and enjoyed. At first I kept putting it off because it didn’t exactly look cheerful, and [...]
