My web mistress, the incomparable Zhayena, has informed me that she moving the host onto a new server tomorrow morning due to some stability issues with the one we’re currently on. She’s also adding and upgrading all sorts of undoubtedly cool stuff that I’m curious to see how pans out.
This will entail a couple of [...]

On the Down Low
The Sarcastic Radio
You need to have flashplayer enabled to view this YouTube video
Yesterday evening I was working my usual shift at the gas station. Sundays are the busiest days of the week, and so even though I work at one of the smallest places in Norway it’s not uncommon for the place to packed full of people wanting sundaes, sausages or hamburgers. These are more or [...]
Comic Books Galore #4: Hitting the Jackpot
Yes, I’m no longer putting the date in the title of these entries ’cause I can’t imagine what anyone gets out of em. I am, however, numbering them to see how many of these I end up posting. Who knows - maybe we’ll get into double figures!

The Walking Dead | Vol. 1-3 | Robert Kirkman [...]
Lost, Season 1
This series looked like it was over-average interesting when it first aired, oh-so many years ago. A lot of my friends and other people I know started watching and raving about how good ‘Lost’ was, and I thought to myself that I’d better see what all the fuss is about.
But I never did. [...]
Hellboy
‘Hellboy’ is a gob-smackingly brilliant superhero movie right from the first scene till the very end. I loved it, and it will down in history as a ‘how-to-do-it’ guide for movie-makers trying to break through in a very capitalistic industry that seems to have mostly forgotten why people loved films to begin with. Do yourself [...]
Charlie Wilson’s War
I don’t review nearly enough movies.
Or, at least that’s what my statistics keep hissing into my ear while it’s pressing a broken bottle under my chin, rambling madly that my technorati ranking is due to drop five points the next week if I don’t “shape the f*ck up”. Whenever I happen to find myself in [...]
This Is an International ‘Yay Me!’ Day
I, Amras ‘the Great’ Elensar, hereby declare today an international ‘Yay Me!’ day.
This is in accordance with the Laws of Yayness* which clearly states that any person who feels especially yay-worthy or thoroughly awesome, may declare themselves a limited** number of ‘Yay-Days’ to celebrate an especially epic feat that they’ve recently accomplished. You may also [...]
Watchmen by Alan Moore, Dave Gibbon & John Higgins
Writing a review of ‘Watchmen’ is hard work for any poor bastard assigned with the task. No matter what angle you choose to approach this seminal work with, no matter how you dissect it and not matter how many fancy words you use to shroud your intent, you only end up saying the same god-damn [...]
Mad Men, Season 1
“Mad Men”
“A term coined in the late 1950’s to describe the advertising executives of Madison Avenue.
They coined it.”
I am, for obvious reasons, not nostalgic about olden times where men were men and women were women. When smoking wasn’t considered stupid, but cool and trendy. When things were clear-cut and everyone knew which side of the [...]
Shades of Grey
I promised you guys an entry about my recent trip down horrible lane, though it was originally slotted to be posted a lot sooner than now. So to remedy this grievance, I will post some of the pictures I took on the trip and I’ll also add an essay-like thing I wrote for my Norwegian [...]
