I have been feeling like a ferret lately. I took out my vacation around the 12th of July, but I haven’t been able to do anything worthwhile through all this time, and the hourglass is ticking. See? Even my metaphors are falling apart. Truth is, I’ve been feeling more like a possum. A possum with […]

I just thought of the best analogy regarding the developments and discussions of the "pragmatic triangle": Austin, Habermas and Rorty. Austin: Look here boys, with these words you’re actually stroking the girl, and blowing her a kiss. But what’s the grammar? Habermas: Cheers, mate. You made me realize that I’m actually caressing her right now, […]

You know it’s summer when tourists and tourist-beggars start to invade the town. Of course, the rising temperature and scorching sun is a pretty good indication too, but nothing is as certain as the mark of the beast – or tourist. When I woke up this morning I heard animal cries in the distance. What’s […]

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 […]

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 […]

Scaryduck wrote a piece about weird dreams a couple of days ago, and just like him I find them really exhausting. It’s interesting because I’ve heard several other people around are struggling with them these days, and I think it might be because of the changes in light conditions going from Spring to Summer. But […]

Dear Mr. God, if you ever drop by to end the world on judgement day, to cease the beating of my heart, the breath of all the billions of others, and to destroy all will to life, and life itself, the trees and birds, all the nice girls, and all the ones that are OK […]

It’s funny what girls do sometimes. She came along but not to go any further. I guess I love them for this random hazard, who knows what pays off and what don’t? I’m here only to adore. And even though I’m oft left behind, they never cease to amaze me. I’ll always learn more, but […]

I got the lousy idea two nights ago to re-install Zenwalk 4.4 at eleven o’clock in the evening. Why? On the original install I for some reason had the urge to set the locale to Norwegian UTF-8 with numlock enabled on boot. This meant that I could not enter the password to my user account, […]

One of the co-workers brought with her baby to work today. She’s on mama-leave, so the only reason she dropped by was to show it off. This happens every time a chick’s got herself a baby here, and all the women in the building loom over the poor thing with glittering diamond eyes. They want […]
