I wrote Neil Schaeffer, the well-known author of the latest big biography of our favourite Marquis, called: The Marquis de Sade, a life. This is some of the things I wrote to him in an e-mail primarily concerning the flawed "biographic movie" Quills; I am by no standard any biographist, and I care less about […]

Smurf, n.: being referred to as a smurf is probably not going to make your day unless you’ve previously adopted the label yourself in a spirit of irony. Compare: old fart. (Dictionary.com) From Wikipedia: The smurf attack, named after its exploit program, is a denial-of-service attack which uses spoofed broadcast ping messages to flood a […]

Part 3: Famous people In a densely populated city, or in a village of the world like Oslo, you’re bound to meet someone famous. A city is like a desert where survival is in-between those locations, those oases, where you’ll either eat, sleep, socialize or shop. Any means of public transporation is only a shortening […]

Messing around I came upon an article on Nabokov’s Lolita where I’d commented. New comments had been added. One of them, made by TreeFull, said: «I think perverted works of fiction deserve no place in our society. We profess to be progressive, but instead corrupt ourselves needlessly. Art is art but pervert is a pervert.» […]

Me and Kornelius’ collaboration site, Brev fra Kristiania, has been updated with the first part of yet another intruiging event in these fabolous characters’ lives, after a long time of no updates at all. I hope Kornelius will follow-up as I conclude this event in the 2nd part, coming shortly. Visit through kristiania.norge.cc or www.kristiania.tk(Norwegian […]

I thought I’d give you a list of all the stories he’s made public for me. The Zine can always be reached @ […]

Part 2: The Crowded Areas In this part I’ll deal with the crowdiness of a city, as compared to where I used to live. In Northern Norway, more exactly the county of Salangen, we’re short of jobs, short of schools, short of short distances and short of people. We’re also, philosophically speaking, generally short. In […]

I do not suffer from waling in Society’s dark streets, writing dark poetry. I do not succumb to elevated wisdom, of long-bearded men and women with coffe jars. I do not bow to the darkest corners in the Bible, I do not read the verses out aloud. I do not kneel for any Kings or […]

A million-dollar-minute poem was printed @ Sigg3’s Scratchbook. Go read: «The arithmetics of tatooed engineers, Tuesday»

Welcome to my findings of interesting phemonemas in the wild, urban cityscape of Oslo. As you all know, I’m a redneck, a Sami (indiginous folk of Norway) and born and raised in the North, which is why I am repeatedly amazed by the intruiging and interesting things you can stumble over in a city like […]
