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 […]

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 […]

Happy terrorist day, everyone! In the spirit of the occasion, you’ll be glad to hear that I had a terrible day today, at least the first half of it. You could even say it was terrorible. Whoa! New word. My one and only Lady C (one is quite enough) has run away to Denmark with […]

Since our new apartment still looks like this we’re crashing at Lady C’s sister’s place for the time being. We’ve got our own room with a double bed, small tables on either side and an empty closet. So apart from the fact that we have to cater our own meals and do the housework it’s […]

Now, I’m one for extended leniency in matters of immigration politics. We’ve got to understand the situation […]

Mad cow disease. Bird flu. Swine flu. What’s next? Hamster Hemorrhage? Pony Psoriasis? Panda Cerebral Palsy? Crocodile cough? Adder AIDS? King Crab Cancer? Penguin Prostates? NO! It’s Cave Bear Bronchitis! And guess what, I’m the first person in the world to survive it! I’m also the first person in the world who’ve had it. And […]

In the beginning of our present financial crisis, Norwegian newsreporters hadn’t come to terms with the depth and width of its extent, as would be revealed to us later. Instead they said that Norwegians would probably just wait buying that ump inch flat screen tv. So when the crisis hit the coast of Norway, me […]

People blog and write books about all sorts of petty events from their meaningless existence, like a voyeur on a cross they litter the vast field of human knowledge with uninteresting stories to the extent of being Generic. And I’m no different. I was supposed to argue with my boss about my salary today, working […]
