Now that I’ve fetched a cup of steaming hot chocolate, I can look at my latest cinematic excursions. House of Flying Daggers (2004) aka Shi mian mai fu which could mean anything from ‘Artistic Kung Fu with a blur’ to ‘Rampaging Chinese Ninja Police’. But that’s just because I don’t speak Chinese. I like Chinese, […]

There is a slight problem with your order
Why is it that I spend one hour searching for the DVDs I want to buy today and when I do find them at an affordable price, I get the message above? Isn’t Amazon supposed to be so easy? I’ve used them before and it hasn’t been any trouble. Item: Down by Law ** Not […]
Koew turning 19
My brother Koew has entered the last year of his teens. Conflabulations! Here’s a picture where he does that intimidating smile that he does. Initially I had whipped up this cake to him, but then when I was finished I read on his blog that his girlfriend had baken a banana cake (now that‘s loving […]
The girl from Scene 24
I met her again! (Saturday Synthesis) My warrior woman. Her eyes beheld me like a feline mammal sinks its consciousness into the essence of its prey. I did not halt until we had passed each other on the side-walk. She is a valkyrie of Norse mythology. She is here to collect the dead warriors from […]
Upcoming site changes
The tagboard is down, the sitesearch is down (but we still have google), the sitemap is down et cetera ad infinitum. There’s so much not working on this page that one could think I was beating a dead horse. And I am. I like beating dead horses. It’s because of that muffled sound they make. […]
Scariest picture of the day: Dangerous Props, juggling for Jesus
The internet is not just full of it, it’s exploding with it. And what’s this ‘it’ but incomprehensible heaps of information like my own blog. Meet David Cain. He’s a juggler. And he juggles for Jesus: "David juggles while reading aloud a randomly selected Bible passage in order to illustrate the fact that we can […]
Koew.net up and running
My brother who was more affected by my cousin’s server brakedown than I was, has finally pulled out his finger and gotten himself a new page. It’s up at www.koew.net following the .net trend I started years ago. For some reason he is under the impression that his page is Microsoft’s .NET. You must forgive […]
"Line 3 and 5 closed." Collaps of infrastructure and Suicidal trends
That’s the message roaming the loudspeakers when I was thrown off the train at Majorstua, one stop from my destination, the University. The cause? Too much snow. The people running things here have never conceived of snow as an actual weather condition, no, it’s hypothetical. That’s why they only have hypothetical means of making sure […]
Pure Evil is closer than you think
I was walking from the subway to work this morning, after my last lecture on Habermas’ discourse ethics, and compared to Oslo’s overally incompetent weather I’d say it was a full-scale blizzard. In Northern Norway a blizzard is one mother of a storm, the small grains of snow and hail eating away your flesh layer […]
Skip this if you don't like Monday posts
This is just an awkwardly bad day. It feels as though my head is in a bucket, and that there are two small goblins sitting on each shoulder holding a tea spoon. Occasionally they just tap the bucket with the spoons, sending vibrating morse-code signals through my brain just to make sure I feel terrible. […]
