...because I’m bored enough to take the bait.

1. You can press a button that will make any one person explode. Who would you blow up? I can’t think of anyone I’d like to blow up at the moment.

8. You have the opportunity to sleep with the music celebrity of your choice. Who do you pick? Music celebrity… Nor sure, maybe Martin Stenmark.
9. Now that you’ve slept with two different people in a row, you seem to be having an excellent day because you just came across a one hundred dollar bill on the sidewalk. Holy Shit. How are you gonna spend it? Both of them in one day? Then I’d probably need to relax a bit so I’d go to a spa.

12. Your dream date. Who, where, and why? Don’t know who, but a date in an hot-air balloon would be cool. Imagine being up there, watching the view, have some champagne and something nice to eat and then making love… I’d like that!

Do I have to become a hip-hopper?

2006-12-15T16:44:37Z

I don’t know who they are trying to fool; the big clothes chains that are changing the sizes on their clothes.
The other day I went out looking for a new pair of pants. The only pants I had in my wardrobe was jeans, and I thought it would be nice to have something else to put on for Christmas.
After visiting all the larger clothes stores and trying on one pair of pants after the other, I had to give up. I couldn’t find a single pair that fitted. All the size 34 was huge, hanging halfway down my butt. I bought one of the pair of pants anyway and I guess I have to try to sew them in a bit.

So I was thinking that the stores must have changed their sizes so that size 36 has turned into 34 and 34 have disappeared completely.
Is this some kind of trick the stores are trying to pull because more people are getting heavier? Or are they trying to fool people into believing that they are getting thinner or why have they change their sizes? Or maybe it’s just me imagining this, although I don’t think I am. Have anyone else noticed the same?

Nathalies birthday!

A happy birthday to Spacedlaw

I'm alive - and feel it!

2006-11-25T22:43:29Z

It’s been a while since I wrote anything in my lj. The reason for that is because I have been busy with my schoolwork and haven’t had very much time for anything else.
It’s nice though that the term will soon be over. I wouldn’t mind some rest now, in fact I think I really need to rest before my brain catch fire.

I guess I already have begun to smell burnt, or maybe smoke really was coming out of my ears, because yesterday one of my teachers released me from my homework for this weekend.

So with less homework to do I was looking forward to have a few lazy days, nice and quiet with lots of rest.

But as usual things just won’t work out as I want or expect them to.
There is a saying that a misfortune seldom comes alone. Well, I think it’s true. Most often all bad things happen at once - and maybe that is the best. That way you have the shit done and over with and hopefully something good will follow. At least that’s what I’m hoping for now, because the last couple of days have been a bit bad.

Already on my way home from school yesterday things started to go wrong. I’d stopped by the store to pick up some groceries and when I was halfway home I got a flat tire. And as if that wasn’t enough it had started to rain while I was shopping. So I had to walk the rest of the way home in pouring rain, with no umbrella, loaded with grocery bags and pushing my bike because of the inner tube that was sticking out of my front tire and preventing the wheel from spinning.

I got home, soaking wet and quite annoyed, and felt I had had my share of bad luck for the day. Apparently someone else thought differently. A couple of hours later, when I was cooking supper, my kids called on me. They were sitting by the computer, trying to get access to internet but the modem wouldn’t start - and they said something smelled funny. When I got into the room a nasty odour of burnt plastic hit me. (I know what you’re thinking, but it wasn’t my head – it’s solid wood) When I had a closer look behind the computer I discovered that the adaptor to the modem had melted. I need to have access to internet for my studies, so I knew I had to get a new adaptor right away.

This morning I woke up, had a quick shower, made some breakfast for me and the kids and then started to chase around for a store in this little hole of a town that sell such things as adaptors to modems. After visiting the forth (and last) store I still hadn’t found what I was looking for. I realised I had to go to a larger town about 40 kilometres away to find the adaptor, so I hurried home to pick up my children and then we ran to catch the train.

I knew we would only have a couple of hours on us to find it before we had to go back with the last train leaving to our hometown. Of all the stores we visited not a single one was selling this specific adaptor. In the end I had to buy a new modem. Just what I needed - already having little money and with Christmas coming

When we got home I installed the new modem, fixed my flat tire and cooked some food. I didn’t have my quiet and lazy day but at least nothing else has gone wrong, so maybe tomorrow will be it…

12-Step Program

2006-09-18T17:38:20Z

I found this piece in my English book. :)

12-Step Internet Addiction Recovery Program

1.   I will have a cup of coffee in the morning and read my newspaper like I used to, before the Web.
2.   I will eat breakfast with knife and fork and not with one hand typing.
3.   I will get dressed before noon.
4.   I will make an attempt to clean the house, wash clothes, and plan dinner before even thinking of the Web.
5.   I will sit down and write a letter to those unfortunate few friends and relatives who are Web-deprived.
6.   I will call someone on the phone who I cannot contact via the Web.
7.   I will read a book.
8.   I will listen to those around me and their needs and stop telling them to turn the TV down so I can hear the music on the Web.
9.   I will not be tempted during TV commercials to check for email.
10. I will try to get out of the house at least once a week, whether it is necessary or not.
11. I will remember that my bank is not forgiving if I forget to balance my cheque book because I was too busy on the Web.
12. Last, but not least, I will remember that I must go to bed sometimes and the Web will always be there tomorrow!

Pictures of a friend...

2006-08-14T21:18:55Z

I met a friend of ours in London. We had a little chat and I told him about the hens.
He was delighted to hear how much the hens liked him and he agreed to have his picture taken.

Thought I'd share the pics with you.

Stinking birds but happy movie times

2006-06-18T21:38:16Z

So it is summer. The sun is shining from a bright blue sky, it’s warm outside and the air is full of… gulls!
Screaming, bawling, shitting gulls all over town. Wherever you go there they are, zooming above your head, attacking people. It is almost like the Hitchcock movie, “The Birds”.
It is quite scary to go out, and when people do, they’re walking around looking like owls with their heads spinning on their necks.
I hate those creatures. That is, I don't hate the people looking like owls, I hate the gulls. Not only do they wake me up at sunrise every morning, yesterday I had to run like mad to escape two of them and earlier this week my son was chased by one in our backyard. I’m thinking of starting practice on slingshot.

With the gulls in mind, yesterday evening I decided to take a ride on my bike instead of taking my usual walk. It was a really nice evening, warm and calm.
I biked up to the lake and when I was there the sun was setting. The sound of an acoustic guitar could be heard from the restaurant where a troubadour was playing. Couple sat close together at benches and on the beach. Kids played on the grass and some teenagers took an evening swim and dived from the bridge. It was really peaceful and I felt relaxed for the first time in ages.

When I got home I watched one of the Alan movies I bought in February, “Something the Lord made”. I really liked the movie, which surprised me a bit. I guess the boring cover on the DVD fooled me to believe that the movie could be boring too. I’m so happy it was not. That movie I’ll watch more than one time.
Now I only have two more left to watch, then I’ve seen all the AR movies I’ve got.
I have to try to get my hands on some more. There are several I haven’t seen yet but unfortunately they are hard to find here. But maybe, when I’m in London, I will be able to find some of them. If anyone knows of a shop in London where I can buy his movies, I’d really appreciate a tip.
Now I’m going to make me some coffee, have some ice-cream and watch “The January man”.

I got tagged by Catsplay

Once you are tagged you MUST write a blog about your 6 weird habits/things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next six people to be tagged and list their names.

Well, here we go, 6 of my weird habits/things:

1. I hate driving and use my driver’s license only as an id.
2. I rarely use makeup, I own 4 pair of shoes and I only buy clothes for myself when I really need to.
3. I seem to attract mostly women and married/already taken men.
4. I smoke and drink LOTS of coffee.
5. I eat yoghurt and two slices of bread for lunch every day.
6. I have a blue frog in my bed.

Since I don’t have anyone to tag I’ve got to skip that bit.
