One of the philosophers I studied last fall, Richard Rorty, died last Friday from pancreatic cancer according to this news article. Rorty’s landmark book "Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature" (1979), rankled some of his peers by arguing that there is no distinction between objective and subjective realities, a theme he continued to develop throughout […]

Random pics from the weekend
Here are some pictures I took this weekend, while testing out my new digital camera, the Fujitsu S9500. The local shops figured that if they added some dancing teenage girls people would flock to them. It worked. A local from Little Kariachi, Oslo This kid couldn’t get enough of the Salsa show This is Frysja […]
My dreams are improving again:)
Since I’ve started to adjust to the heat, I’m back to getting at least some regular sleep again. Last night I dreamed about this girl at work, and we were getting really friendly. Very friendly. We were all on a big cruise-like ship somewhere, but not as passengers, we were employed there. That’s right, Sigg3 […]
Norwegian Heavy-Death Satanic Heavy-Black Metal Heavy
Real heavy. So heavy that it can’t be wood, it must be metal. Black metal. The Kingdom of Norway has three important exports judging from amount and foreign impact: oil, fish and heavy metal. And while a lot of people come to Norway or study Norwegian to read Henrik Ibsen, even more learn the language […]
Scariest picture of the day: Jane Likes Dick
Listening to Roy Ayers’ Exotic Dance from the Coffy soundtrack. Summer has finally arrived to our little village (Oslo), and as usual I come to the realization that women I have the pleasure to meet never do; I’m wearing too much clothes. I got up real early today considering I usually get up at ten […]
Policy work? Peace-building? Fairies and trolls?
I’m currently working on a translation of what will hopefully become an application for funds before 10 am the coming Wednesday. The actual work I’m doing is really stretching my creative abilities in terms of translating bureaucratic gobbledygook from one language to another. The real challenge lies in containing the somewhat shady or outright meaningless […]
Tell-tale sign of MS Windooze
Today I received a completely new Dell XPS M1210 at work, which is one of the few Dells I actually quite like, being small, "road-ready" and powerful. I’ve already set up one of these before, and when I told our sales guy at Dell how impressed I was he could tell me that most of […]
On the Origin of the Sleepless by Means of Natural Distraction
The last few days I’ve had some really bad sleep. So bad that I thought it was good enough to share with you and all the other Internets. You see, I’ve been hearing voices. Yes. The voices of a roomie and her boyfriend, late at night. Their trip to Barcelona must have done wonders for […]
A One God Universe (William S. Burroughs)
This one’s also from Burrough’s reading in Spare Ass Annie. I’ve found several different versions and interpretations of this poem, mostly in terms of choice of words. Eventually I found that some of it resembles a transcript of The Western Lands so I’ve kept that as a background in my transcription. Enjoy. A One God […]
