E-mail correspondance can be pretty hard, when your follow-up has lost its point. Like this one: >>> Bastards! >> fucking bastards is more like it > Fucking Bastards! yea they are fucking bastards (who are we talking about again?) Another extended thanks to me and Unslev:) EDIT: Shit. Look at the post number.

News in Khaki and Ceylon tea
Rounding up current events, here’s the latest from Sigg3 himself. Thank you, Sigg3, you are teh sux. Things are surely happening. I was terrified to hear about the bombing in London last week. I got up, turned on the radio. Had a heartattack. Turned on my computer and watched live broadcasts from BBC News, before […]
Poll #19: Do you have a fishtank?
I’m glad to inform you that my fishtank is not as noisy as it was since I installed this vent I’d completely overlooked. I’m not trying to act a genius with this, I recognize myself as a fish enthusiast rather than an expert. Anyway, in that regard I give you the weekly poll: Poll #19: […]

Homemade
From my three-day trip to Estonia So I’m at this café at Oslo airport, right? I’m there for nothing but a cup of coffee, and standing in line there, I notice these huge chocolate muffins the size of a sheep’s head, which costs nearly fifty NOK each (that’s about ten dollars). They are big, of […]
How to vacate
Since I’ve inherited my mother’s stressful way of working and living (thank you), I’m really not familiar with the relaxing part of the year known as vacations. I had one week last year, that’s all, in which I was ill the whole time. Had a good time, though, but still. Other people seem to get […]
Stephen Baxter's Origin
Wow. That was intense. I just put down Stephen Baxter’s Origin, a book that has rested peacefully and without any attention of mine in my bookshelf since 2002. This Sunday, I picked it up. Tuesday at 11 pm I’ve finished the 450 pages and reached my verdict: It’s very poetic. Almost all the science fiction […]
Concluding proof of my vacation & the Impersonality Plan
Here’s the e-mail I sent to my colleagues at work: It’s 38 minutes untill I’m off on summer vacation. I might be seen around here, tanfree and sleepy, but it will exclusively be to check my mail. Can be grumpy. Do not feed. .. On a second thought, please do. Oh, that’s 36 minutes. I’ll […]
Vacation coming up…
That’s right! For the first time since I joined Fafo, from back when I was a civil worker in February 2004 till today, I have had no real vacation. Sure, there was one week last summer, in which I was sick the entire time, and there was x-mas of course.. but apart from that I […]
The Lamest thing I did today
..was going to Pax Christi‘s homepage and complain about how wrong their world maps are: Your maps say you’re eager for any error correction(s). I just wanted to point out that your world map is totally wrong. The earth is round, like a globe, and not flat. If it was flat, like your maps, it […]
