I've been watching Doctor Who. Okay, so been watching might be a bit of an overstatement, but I've watched three episodes over the last couple of days. It's definitely enjoyable, although I think it's a bit over the top at times. I feel like I had completely forgotten that not all TV shows are American, so Doctor Who is a bit refreshing in that ( Read more... )

Haha, fikk virkelig sansen for det kjøkkenet du beskrev. Tenker meg at sånt er nydelig når det regner ute.

Ah, Facebook. Det er jo et pent og ryddig nettsamfunn, men jeg synes mediaoppmerksomheten har tatt av i altfor høy grad, som om det er noe fantastisk revolusjonerende. Til og med min gamle, utdaterte og forråtnende norsklærer vet om det. Dog å holde kontakten med folk og finne igjen gamle venner er jo det supert til. :)

Hehe, han skal vel bygge tak og, forhåpentligvis. Glemte å nevne det :P. Er en viss fare for at det blir glasstak, da. Vi kommer vel knapt til å ha noe privatliv igjen, med kjøkken på altanen, og glassvegger og tak. Blir ikke fristende med nudist-fakter, for å si det sånn.

Synes det begynner å bli litt mye medieoppmerksomhet jeg og. Spesielt vg.no har jo et personlig hatforhold til stedet, tror det er et nytt oppslag om alle "skadevirkningene" daglig. Altså, ikke at jeg vil at folk skal bli mobbet der eller noe sånt, men begynner å bli litt lei av å høre om det. Også er det alle artiklene om "trenden Facebook", irriterende de og.

Ja, vet du hva! Det var noen uker hvor VG, Dagbladet, TV 2 Nyhetene og til og med God Kveld Norge bablet om Facebook dagen lang! Selvfølgelig er det ulemper med alle sånne community, og man skulle trodd de aldri har hørt om nettcommunity før. Jeg ble nesten flau hver gang folk nevnte Facebook.

Haha! Er det folk som kan se inn så blir det kanskje litt dristig, da. :P Kanskje litt bråkete også, når jeg tenker meg om. Og steikvarmt om sommeren. Litt drivhus, kanskje?

Å ja, husker det. Selv TV2 Sporten hadde og et par reportasjer om Facebook :P Trodde poenget var at avisene skulle komme med nyheter, og når alle skriver om Facebook, så er det vel ikke en nyhet lenger...?

Ha, vi bor i rekkehus, så det er mange som kan se inn. Har ikke tenkt over varmen før, men du har definitivt et poeng. Vår egen private drivhuseffekt (for å se på den positive siden, kanksje vi begynner å ta global oppvarming litt mer seriøst).

Which season of Doctor Who are you watching? I prefer the third season (of the new Who), and the last three episodes were mind-blowing. I definitely know what you mean though. But, like you, I find the non-American shows fun as they're different. Plus I absolutely adore David Tennant and John Barrowman ...

Facebook has a Scandinavian design? Really?

I was watching season 3, but I've watched all of it now. And I've seen two episodes of season 2, I think. Not sure if I'm going to watch the rest of it, so far I like the third season better. And I can't stand those Dalek things (their voices are killing me. Could they be any more monotonous?), so I'll probably skip those episodes anyway.

I suppose it does, although I'm not really sure what the criteria for being a Scandinavian design really are. I think they just labeled it Scandinavian because it was all clean and simple, or something.

I couldn't get myself to watch all the episodes in s1 and s2 either actually. I just adore s3, particularly the ones with Jack (since I am a total Jack Harkness fangirl).

I have to say I have never heard such a thing. And Facebook is American. Is simple and clean really related to Scandinavian? I am just curius because I haven't heard that before.

Btw, who do you like better, Martha or Rose?

Quote from Wikipedia:
"Scandinavian Design emerged in the 1950s in the three Scandinavian countries (Denmark, Norway and Sweden) as well as Finland as a design movement characterised by simple, uncomplicated designs, minimalism, stylisation, functionality, and low cost mass production."

I guess people do relate it to clean and simple, then. Although I think the things the things the Wikipedia article mentioned are more characteristic of IKEA than Scandinavian design in general.

I loved the scenes with The Doctor, Martha and Jack in the last few episodes. But I think the whole Jack storyline made a lot more sense to everyone who knows the backstory than it did to me. Well, I haven't seen that many episodes with Rose in them, but from what I've seen so far, I like Martha better. She seems to be much tougher and more grown-up.
