Going for the?

Not much but chillaxing here in the basement, game tomorrow at 1400 hours local time. Going to boil some pasta later and watch 1st and Ten.

Still no job for me, and me wallet is thinner than Calista Flockhart. I don't think I can keep going with this decadent lifestyle anymore. Goodbye, Champagne and caviar! But I digress...

Watched a few episodes of CSI last night, basically the first time I have watched TV since I got home, and in a very long time before that too. I'm managing without it.

Should check in with you tomorrow, hopefully. Adios!

Bits and tid-pieces

We did lose against Eidsvoll on Saturday, but we played a tough game, and from what I've heard some people were impressed by our performance. I only got one kick-off, but it was still good to don the green and yellow again and just to be out there with my team.

Anyone got a job for me?

I'm thinking of watching Office Space right now, but since it's almost 00.45 it might be too late since I have an appointment at noon. What to do what to do?

I'm not in the mood right now, talk to you some other time...

Trøtt som faen

Let's see if we get some sleep on the plane tomorrow! This is my last report from the US in quite a while, I must say, the semester has been eventfull and stressing. Going home is going to be good!

Hope to see most of you at Lade on Saturday, Domers will be hosting Eidsvoll 1814s in our first home game of the season! For now, I need to go to bed before I pass out.

Btw math exam went really well! I think...or hope?

Good night, and see you in Norway!

Mwahaha!

IT'S ALIVE!!!!

Gratulerer med dagen!

Kjære landsmenn: dagens innlegg blir publisert i både norsk og engelsk språkform, da man føler seg en smule patriotisk idet man feirer grunnloven. Jeg vet jeg er tidlig ute, men det er mye som foregår i morgen, og jeg har litt tid å slå ihjel nå.

Snart hjemme igjen på norsk jord, jeg gleder meg enormt. Det er trist å ikke kunne sprette kransekake med familie og venner i morgen, men jeg regner med dere får en fin feiring uansett! Nok en gang, gratulerer med dagen til dere alle sammen!

Ja vi elsker dette landet
som det stiger frem
furet, værbitt over vannet
med de tusen hjem

(PS: gratulerer til Alexander Rybak med seieren i MGP. Har fortsatt ikke hørt sangen)


My fellow Norwegians: today's posting is being published in both English and Norwegian because I am feeling a bit patriotic celebrating the constitution. This is early, but tomorrow is going to be a busy day, and I have some spare time on my hands right now.

Almost back on Norwegian soil, looking forward to it. It is sad not to be able to pop a tower cake with my friends and family, but I reckon you will all have an extraordinary celebration nevertheless! Once again, congratulations to all of you!

Yes, we love this country
As it rises forth
Rugged, weathered, above the sea
With the thousand homes

(PS: congratulations to Alexander Rybak for winning the Eurovision Song Contest tonight. I haven't even heard the song)

(PPS: full translation of the song can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ja,_vi_elsker_dette_landet)

WARNING: the following post is a bit longer than my usual quirky writings, so you might wanna sit down for this one.

Okay, I haven't written anything in a loooong time. And quite frankly, I'm not gonna make an excuse. You know how I hate apologies.

There has been a shitload of stuff going on lately, so I will try to give you a (brief) overview on some of the things I have been up too...here goes:

New York City the first weekend of May, and it was totally awesome. Stayed at a nice hotel right off Times Square, went up top in the ESB (that's Empire State Building to all of you rookies), spent some money shopping, just soaked in the scene and generally had a good friggen time.

Jason Bateman actually walked RIGHT past me as I was waiting for my cousins outside an UGG-store in Soho. He's kinda tall. Also went to this place called Max Brenner's Chocolate by the Bald Man. Everything they serve has some kind of chocolate in it. I know a few people that would looooove to go there...ya'll know who you are.

On Sunday we went to Pete Seeger's 90th birthday party at MSG (another abv, deal with it). Bruce was there, Tom Morello was there, Patterson Hood was there, Joan Baez, Arlo Guthrie...I could have a separate posting just about who was there celebrating. It was good fun tho, they played some songs I know, some I don't.

The week after NYC consisted of too much homework, too little time and not getting enough sleep. Had a few fun nights out, went to the NAS concert we had on campus this past Saturday. I really like NAS, he is one of the few rappers constantly keeping it real, and I was glad to see he played some old school shit as well. Crowd was pretty bad unfortunately, and it was hot as hell in the gymnasium.

Swordfish with cajun seasoning, salt and pepper is delicious! Made it myself.

My North Korea group finished it's run as diplomats today, and I must say I think we did a good job with what we had. It was a pretty fun assignment, having two full class sessions almost like a debate in a (semi) civilized manner (yes I have to take blame for part of the uncivilities).

Speaking of classes, tomorrow is last day of lectures before finals. I have ONE session tomorrow, 2pm-2.50pm, social psychology (which I totally rock) with dr. L.

Other than that, I have been spending a lot of my hours awake in the gym, trying to be the best I can (and then some) for my first meeting with Norwegian football this spring. It's almost 2am, so, good night to everyone!
