The growling groundhog of the metropolitan under-bowels, Tom Waits, turns 60 today the 7th of December 2009. The jingle: Yup. It’s not the usual jingle, I know, but Tom’s not a usual man. The picture’s from his 2008 Glitter and Doom tour, this particular one from Prague, provided by Gut. In celebration of Tom Waits’ […]

Link of the day: Wikipedia Forever
Whenever I see Wikimedia throwing a fundraiser I can’t help but give. Whenever I use the internet and come across something I need to cross-check or just wonder about, I do a lookup on Wikipedia. I claim it is the #1 source of technical info in the world when it comes to Information Technology. Whenever […]
Happy belated 25th Birthday Kornelius!
This Saturday my good old friend Kornelius turned 25 years old! The jingle: Happy belated Birthday Kornelius! I’ve known Kornelius since we were like 6-7 years old when he was a complete asshole, solely because he was in the A-class and I was in the B-class, until we teamed up with the Army Dude to […]
Scariest picture of the day: These shoes are made for walking
Yep, these shoes were made for walking, they’re called "walking shoes", and they also came in the distinct color of black. That’s half a year of garbage dust, plaster and mortar dust, spackle remains and paint stains on what were a pair of brand new, black walking shoes. They creak like a nervous hamster in […]
Truckin' November 2009, Vol. 8, Issue 11
We’ve been working exclusively on the apartment lately, which my friends can attest to since I haven’t been out Saturday nights in over a month, or is it two months now? The three Truckin’ stories I had penned previously are the entire results of a few afternoons off, of which there are very few at […]
No wonder it's among the greatest movies of all time…
When you wake up from a terrible nightmare, as opposed to the really pleasant ones, it’s always great to turn around in the bed and land your arm on the gal of your choice. Milla Jovovich! Or, as it very well is in my case, Lady C. It immediately dulls the sting of fear that […]
I gotta feeling…
So we’re working on the flat this evening having made an entire new plaster wall, and finishing up by putting up white wallpaper on the next, when I get the sudden urge to use the bathroom. I have yet to tell the Internet about our very expert explicitly deleted bathroom entrepreneurs who have YET to […]
Just dirt in the ground..
Before I had to run to catch the bus for work this morning, I wild-eyedly put the latest tracks of Tom on my trusty telephone. Fall has come to the sorry parts of Oslo now. The mountains of concrete and the tall trees that carry onto their leaves like sailors to their dreams, leave great […]

Listen to the THIS IS IT single
Michael Jackson’s last recorded album This is it and the DVD made from the preparations of his last big tour are the only reasons why big capitalist bastards still care about him. It’s so sad when people who’ve met such abuse by an industry and the press dies tragically, only to lure all the bottom-dwelling […]
