Heck yeah!!!

Reminds me of the good old days growing up back home... good times... nothing like a little pillaging on a Saturday afternoon when there's nothing on TV...

PATHFINDER - Legend of the Ghost Warrior:



Sadly, it's R...

there's always something

it continues to astound me that there is always something going on. Never a day where nothing happens. it might not be life changing or worldview shattering, but something happens every day that was not planned or occurred in an unforeseen way. Why is this? Realizing that i do not know the future, i know that every detail of my life is unknown to me, yet why is there never a single day in which something unexpected occurs. would it not be interesting to live just one day where things turn out just as one had thought/expected? i guess this might actually be a little eerie...

I'm very sick of yellow pollen

Norwegian Music Videos...

just thought i’d try to post something interesting on a weekly(ish) basis... probably won't always be some of my favorites... all i can promise is that it won't be a-ha, Dimmur Borgir or Aqua...

this week it's Magnet, he's pretty interesting, been getting some attention on both sides of the Atlantic. if you are into the OC you might have heard some of his music, they have supposedly played some of his music (as i understand it one of the producers like him or something like that...)

The MiniCAT - Isn't she a beaut!

well, actually, no... pretty dang ugly... BUT, it actually runs on compressed air! Pretty cool if you ask me. Sadly I do not think it'll catch on as it's max speed is about 37 mph, and has a limit of about 15 miles traveling distance. There will also be a hybrid version with much better capabilities.

Say what you want, but i think it's great that there are some people out there willing to make stuff that's environmentally friendly.

Where does the time go?

i wish i knew...

i need some fresh air (...and maybe a cup'o Joe)

btw; does anyone know why coffee is sometimes referred to as 'Joe'... i struggle to see an obvious connection...

On Norwegians singing...

don't worry.. i'm not about to break in to song. I accidentally stumbled upon one of my favorite Norwegian praise and worship artist’s MySpace the other day. I realized that he had moved to England and started singing in English. In fact, the two songs which are featured are translations of songs already put out in Norwegian. I am a bit ambivalent as to whether i like this or not. I understand that Rudi wishes to gain a broader audience (the Norwegian CCM market is rather limited), yet the songs seem to have lost something. I also think that we (the Christians of the world) have more than enough English singing artists (it's not like we can't buy Third Day or Delirious? albums in Norway), yet there are very few Norwegian Christians singing in Norwegian. I still like Rudi Myntevik, what he has done for my generation's ability to sing praises to God in a contemporary way, can never be underestimated. I'm not sure where i'm going with this post or what i am trying to say. I just had a need to write about it. I guess i'm struggling a little with bridging the gap between music which truly glorifies God and a desire for commercial success. I'm just curious as to how far one ought to go to achieve widespread commercial success when the main purpose (at least, ought to be) glorification of God through song and music. Where is the balance between God providing through one's music (and hopefully, calling) and the money making machines that we see some of the big bands/names within CCM? (The current Third Day tour is sponsored by Chevrolet!) I'm not judging per se, more just struggling to see where the line ought to be drawn or the balance ought to be held.

Everything Is Illuminated

I saw it for the first time today, i realize that pretty much everyone and their brother has already seen it... (proving how out of it we have been lately) Been meaning to for a very long time, just one of those movies we never got around to. Without a doubt one of the funniest and saddest movies i have seen in a long time. VERY well written. The dialogue was incredible. Would highly recommend it to anyone (who is okay watching a PG-13 movie, which is as close to R as it possibly can be). Anyone read the book? Anyone know how biographical the story is?

Little else going on... Matias is growing like crazy, Leah's back at work part-time, and I just had a bowl of ice cream... God is truly good.

His name is

Ludivg. He lives with Solan Gundersen and Reodor Felgen in a little place called Flåklypa. Since no one was able to answer, there'll be no oversized picture, so instead i'll include some clips from one of Ludivg's famous movie appearances (Flåklypa Grand Prix):

This is one of those times...

... when I have nothing to blog about, yet decide to do so. So I pretty much end up talking about nothing. It have become a form of procrastination. Right now it's a substitute fro browsing the mindless world of MySpace, as for some reason (my theory is the gross advertising) the school library's firewall (?) will not allow me access. So rather than actually study I decided to post a blog, even though I really have nothing to say.

In order that the reading of this post will not have been a complete waste of time for you, I will have a small competition exclusively for my NON-Scandinavian readers. Name this beloved Norwegian:

Answers can be posted in the 'comments'. Winner will receive honor and glory in the form of an exclusive post devoted to him/her, wherein every possible positive attribute is mentioned with great fanfare, followed by an oversized picture of them (if any such picture is submitted), as well as some fantastic, recently smuggled Norwegian chocolate (when/if you come to visit our home).
