I’ve just finished reading Kafka’s “The Trial” (a.k.a Der Prozess (de) and Prosessen (no)) which is supposed to be one of world literature’s better works. The version I’ve read is the ‘critical edition’ which is closer to Kafka’s own writing and also has fragments of unfinished and cut-out chapters, which I hope will cast additional […]

Shocking news about Pauly!
It has been a while since I’ve read the Tao of Pauly but when I swung by it this morning, only two minutes ago, I was shocked. My pulse hasn’t still declined down to the normal rate, and I fear it won’t ever happen, because this news is ballbreaking! PAULY CAN BE BLUFFED! Re: Haley’s […]
Link of the day: Tetris and global politics
Tetris: From Russia with love! We all love this simple, yet highly addictive, strategy game – a true gem among games, and which one of us haven’t tried to beat the scores of friends and family? But is this just a game? According to this article the game has quite a political message as well, […]
Current newsflashs
Dagsavisen reports that Norwegian porn magazine Rapport (en. Report) is under investigation for violating the paragraph of showing pictures of erigated penises. The ex-editor said that he wanted to see how far he could push it, before his magazine would be considered to be unlawful. To me, this is clearly one of the most important […]
"Superstrange" news from the Sierra Leone conflict
This is pretty old news, dated 2001, but its value to us is uncategorical: (unedited excerpt on RUF Fighters killed near Liberia border!) "Independent reports from Makeni and Kenema state that Superman was killed in a bloody ambush near the Liberian border. (…) In Makeni, two RUF rebels, Tito and Raster explained that Superman was […]

I’ve been an active member of wikipedia dot org for quite some time now, but it wasn’t until today that I discovered what turned out to be a really gloomy page, which happens to be the link of the day: Wikipedia – Recent Deaths: A list of notable figures who have died recently. Don’t try […]
An advice from hell: Be happy!
Entry originally written 15th of February, at the civilarmy camp. "What am I doing with my life?" A question like this is the consequence of ending a conversation with a complete stranger when you’ve just learned that he was evicted from the military because he was too violent. A question like this is the consequence […]
A couple of user-sites by yours truly
I’ve been focusing on two web-projects the last couple of weeks, namely Mas o Menos (www.masomenos.tk) Parent Directory: Salangen (www.salangen.tk) Both of them are in Norwegian and both of them are supposed to be interactive which changes my part of the game quite a bit. Usually, you see, I’m the webmaster and the operater, the […]
Valentine's Day my ass!
So, here we are, me and Kornelius, walking around the sunlit city of Oslo trying to find this particular shop for used clothing, because I really need to update my wardrobe with clothes that actually fit me.. We don’t find the first one, at Majorstuen, so we decide that we’re going to the one that […]
Situationreport
As some of you might have heard, I’m going to join the civil army this month. This is a non-violent alternative for Norwegian youngsters like myself (AS IF), listening to Eminem’s Amityville, but it involves alot of sneeking around the papermill which makes out the Norwegian Justice Departement’s bureaucracy (red tape). The coming Sunday, however, […]
