Just rediscovered this
Found my own journal when googling something else. Wasn’t sure it was still here and have been afraid to look in case it wasn’t, and all those words were lost. -
Shellac of North America
Nov. 26th. Fly to London. Wander around. Check into the ever-lovely California Hotel, where I've stayed many times. Eat chips. Go to WH Smith ( Read more... ) -
Looking baaaaack
Looking back at my non-Friends only updates, so many more than expected, to see if I should bother going through them all to block them from public view (because they are of interest to SO MANY people...), but I seem reasonably sane, mostly. Had to stop because it goes on and on and on. Most surprising ( Read more... ) -
My ear, my ear
Not quite sure what to make of this. I love LA Guns. Not in an ironic look-at-my-Iron-Maden-T-shirt kind of way, but as in love love love them. I saw them live in September this year, and they were awesome. Phil Lewis is pretty high on my I'd-marry-him-right-now list (he's already married, not that it makes much of a difference on the likely-to- ( Read more... ) -
8 years
Eight years today since I started using LiveJournal, and I can feel those minutes as if they happened days ago, or just now. The couch, the windows, the boyfriend, the excitement and nervousness. I would have thought I'd change more, but I don't feel very different. Eight years, a few boyfriends later, long long depressions, a baby halfway through ( Read more... ) -
Poo, Ryan Adams and studies
"We're gonna poo on the floor, with no nappy." It's like living in 'Salo'. This week Ulv's fallen asleep on the way home from kindergarten every day, so doesn't fall asleep until very late in the evening. Doean't make for very peaceful evenings, but the bonus is he doesn't wake up insanely early in the morning anymore ( Read more... ) -
Life now
Coming up to the deadline for handing in work before my second Oslo-week this term. I'm wrtiting a reportage about Forus, a no-mans-land of huge outlets and oil company headquarters outside of Stavanger. My family lived there for a few years in the early nineties, and it's also the setting for one of my novels-in-progress. Because of the novel, ( Read more... ) -
Happy
Today is memorable for the following reasons:
- I got accepted into the two-year part time non-fiction writing course at HiO (a college in Oslo). They only accept twenty students every two years, and I've been languishing in second place on the waiting list all summer. It looks like a lot of work, but interesting. It's sort of in between my interest ( Read more... ) -
Packing
Still going through endless boxes, folders and closets full of things, sorting and throwing away as much as I can. Hopefully two of my brothers will make the round-trip from Stavanger with a small moving van, as using professionals is insanely expensive. Haven't started actually packing yet, but got a few boxes today, so might fill a couple ( Read more... ) -
Last night in Istanbul
and missing Ulv is reaching crescendo proportions. It's only just past nine in the evening but I've taken my sleeping pill now so I can wake up at five to get the couch to the plane and so my typing skills are doomed.
Good days, awesome food (kebabs and pudding). Taking heaps of turkisd delight home. I'll keep missing Istanbul after this but maybe ( Read more... )
