The thing tells me it's been three weeks since I last updated, but to me it feels like years. Not that a lot of out-of-the-ordinary things have happened, mind ( Read more... ) -
there
are leaves ALL OVER MY LIVING ROOM. Why? Well, apparently the tree outside decided to shed all its leaves at the same time as I was airing out a misfired culinary venture into salmon land. A gust of wind and wham, my home is now very "natural".
Oh, and now it's snowing. Yay for winter.
Grr. -

Well, according to the handy information thingie on LJ, I realise I've not posted a thing for seven whole weeks. You've probably missed me. In any case, not much have changed. I got a hair cut today. The hair dresser guy made me look. like. himself. How narcissistic can you get ( Read more... ) -

I've got a week of holiday coming up in a couple of weeks. I'm of a mind to travel somewhere and, possibly, see some sights and whatnot. My initial plan was to go to London, but I've been to London quite a few times. Besides, it's not the nicest place in summer, i think. Ok, so it's not the nicest place in the world during any season. I might end ( Read more... ) -
I got
hit by a car. It hurts a lot more than you'd think. Nothing serious really, a sprained shoulder, a few scrapes and a mortally wounded sense of pride. I was crossing a road when some idiot tried to do a u-turn or somesuch, lost control and clipped me as I tried to flee across the road. She then noticed she'd hit me in the butt (I know), and started ( Read more... ) -

The other day I went to an interview for a journalist job with some kind of magazine i'd never heard of. Turns out the magazine is for women of age 45+ with conservative christian views. Awesome. The editor of the magazine, a guy who's been a hardcore journo for 30 years, did the interview and absolutely pommeled me. Very hard to get a decent word ( Read more... ) -
Wow.
lots of sweat. After a lot of hassle I ended up in a shitty, broken down rehersal room on the east side of Oslo. In Norwegian terms, it's the "rough" side. You know, where there aren't that many trees and you might actually, if you try really hard and know the password, buy drugs if you so wish. So, you know, it's like King's Cross on a tuesday ( Read more... ) -

So I'm sat here watching a program (on the net, mind) about "new media" and how people are watching less tv than this time last year. Well, in Norway anyway. It's basically a good example of how the "right-thinking" people (professors, politicians, editors) step up and try to discuss something they know very little about. They've been talking about ( Read more... ) -

A couple of weeks ago I went to see Akron/Family, and near the end of the gig I was up on stage, playing a "gorgeous" recorder solo whilst about 30 people chanted and played whatever instruments was to hand. It was magical, in that crusty, dread-locked kinda way. Akron/Family are really good though, and if you like bands like Animal Collective, ( Read more... ) -
Ten things to do this week:
1. Apply for a new job. My current one is really poo. Yep, that's right. It's poo. Do mind I've got a second job translating stuff from Norwegian to English. It's all routine and not very interesting, yet kicks the shit out of my full-time job in that horrible call centre. I think everyone should try answering phones for a living. Really puts the ( Read more... )
