So, Friday night I was sitting there in my chair, watching the street and people passing by (I’m on street level), with Pollini’s Chopin interpretation playing on my ears and my hands around an Irish Stout. I know that doesn’t really fit, but that’s the kind of guy I am. Chopin and beer? Sure thing! […]

This morning I was informed that the two paintings that was robbed from the Munch museum, just up the street from where I live, has been returned. If you’re not familiar with Munch’s art, let me just say that a guy that knows nothing about painted art really loves it. I am that guy. You’re […]

I’m still sick. But I had this peculiar dream this morning. Norway and Sweden had changed into something of a tropical area, like Brasil or any other South American country. I met my mother and this doctor, both wearing white, at a house on the hills from where they ran their drug operations. They were […]

As a philosopher, I’m always interested in checking out Proofs of God: Man killed by lion in Kiev Zoo A 45 year old man who lowered himself down into the lions’ cage in a zoo of the Ukranian capital was bitten in the neck and killed. He climbed up the outside of the cage and […]

"You never do anything!" they say. Or "You have a well-paid position and work like hell, how come you’re always broke? It’s not like you ever have time off." They are partially right. I have a loan too, but it’s only recently I’ve begun using it. So, I thought I’d check my account today to […]

I always fuck up my trousers. I’m a clean guy. I washed my hair yesterday, fixed my boxers before my birthday, and everything. But always when I get a new pair of pants on, I spill something on them. Today it was coffee. That’s a regular. Two days ago I had just put on my […]

My former boss won 1.3 million Norwegian crowners this weekend. A friend of mine is registering a software patent that may render him a billionaire. Another friend of mine is working with a patent on renewable energy. Pauly was just at the friggin’ Playboy Mansion! Finally there was I, Sigg3, and me drooges, and we […]

You wouldn’t believe it, but I actually share my appartment with a couple of chicks. There’s a vacant room here now, so if you’re fast you can grab your once in a lifetime opportunity to live with Sigg3. I would’ve done it without thinking. Anyway, they are nice girls, although we’ve had some differences in […]

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 […]

Did I mention that Strawson died last week? Russel answered his ‘On Referring’ somewhat like this (from memory): If mr. Strawson (god forbid) accused his chair-woman for stealing from the funds and she indignantly replied "I ain’t never done no one no harm", and we interpreted this according to Strawson, we would believe the woman […]
