In the North of Norway we have a lot of mountains and fjords, and having grown up among them I feel kind of lost down south (east) where they call hills mountains and puddles lakes. It’s as if my natural points of reference are gone, replaced by the Radisson SAS hotel, the tallest building in […]

Have a nice weekend!
It’s Friday the 13th today. I feel I’ve got to say something. … I’ve got nothing to say to you. Go away.
Quick ramble of Wrong on a Thursday morning
I woke up all wrong this morning. I had dreamed so vividly about a volcano erupting near my childhood home that I could still feel the sweat marks beneath me. I can still remember the way one of the walls in my old bedroom fell down right before me, evaporating in the hellfire heat. But […]
8 o'clock info meeting
Today there’ s an information meeting for the entire staff, with an announced "surprise". I’m still waiting to get fired, so maybe they really want to put me on the scaffold for this time. SURPRISE! Only thing about this meeting’s that it’s inhumanely early in the morning. 8am. Seriously, who gets up at 8am and […]
Political Correctness re: Middle East
I got this in my e-mail this morning and being such a karma whore I’ll post it here in full in verbatim. The original subject line was "Public relation campaigns and the use of the words". Enjoy! Rule #1: In the Middle East, it is always the Palestinians that attack first, and it’s always Israel […]

Just another night in the outskirts of downtown Oslo
Last night around 2am when I was typing in my notes from Stallman’s talk on Copyright I was interrupted by some serious banging down the hall. Not the kind of banging I expect you gang-banging hustlers would think of, no, this was the simple repetitive collision of physical objects you’d usually not ascribe to pornography […]
RIP Fyodor † February 10th 2009
Many of you are unaware that I bought a fish tank 6th of July 2005 in the hope of getting some company while writing. But I had major nitrate problems possibly caused by my continuous chain smoking right next to it, and severe sleep deprivation because the air pump (yes it’s a very small fish […]
Happy Holidays, Saami people!
Today is the "National holiday" for the indigenous Saami people of the North; Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia. The Saami people can easily be compared with the Native Americans in North America, and we share an equal sad history of abuse, introduction to alcohol and mass-conversions to several variants of Christianity. You can see the […]
A Tell-tale Heart
Hi internets, still recovering from the otitis. I’m feeling much better, less sweaty, but I still have slight pressure in my right ear and no hearing. Well, that’s not completely true. When I shower I can hear the sound of every single drop of water as it echoes inside my skull, which is so not […]
