Escape from boredom

New movie with Jack Black, a must see

This weekend I’ve been to Bansko in Bulgaria for two days of lovely skiing. It was real fun, with very good off-piste. Literally no one else was going outside of the piste so on Saturday morning I was all alone in the forest with powder up to my knees. Could you ask for more?

The skiing was good, but without constantly fresh powder two-three days are enough, after that you have to go where you’ve been before so many times.

Before I die…I will do this

Last weekend we went to Spidsbergseter with all my colleagues at Workplace. Very nice, spent several hours doing cross country skiing in perfect conditions.

Watching tv now in the morning where they are currently talking about the current fashion and what’s hot and coming this summer. A man with a strong nasal voice talking about “back to the eighties”…

I could not care less, I would rather cut my index finger than let the botox victim with the previous mentioned nasal voice decide what I should wear…and, getting back to the eighties??? I’d rather kill a cat!! Fashion victims, unite!

All of a sudden I remembered the theme song for Roger Ramjet, went straight to Youtube and Wikipedia and found it

Roger Ramjet, he’s our man
Hero of our nation
For his adventures just be sure
And stay tuned to this station

Espen and I went to Bjerke Travbane today to see Petter and Henning Solberg, Sebastien Loeb, Mikko Hirvonen, Jari-Matti Latvala and all the other rally drivers do their first SS of Rally Norway 2009, the super spesial.

It was fun, we got to see Pål Anders Ullevålseter on his bike, the KTM car and a combined FMX and snowmobile show. Then finally what we came to see, the rally.

At the top, Petter with his new car, Sebastien at the big screen. Sebastien have just been driving with Jens Stoltenberg – the prime minister – as co-driver and Henning and Petter in the background. Then His Majesty the Kings Guard and finally the new car to Mads Østberg.

Left out to cool down, then forgotten!!

But, then again, it’s a Munkholm, could have been worse, since it does not contain alcohol

All the three of us went out walking today, or to be all correct, Anders did not walk, we carried him in the baby backpack. Plenty to see today, at first I advised a guy who was stuck with his car so the traffic jam (two cars were waiting) broke up. Then we found a pile of snow that wasn’t just snow, but in fact a car. In fact, plenty of those today. When almost back home I saw this old man standing there trying to remove all the snow on and around his car. It turned out that he was just about to turn 90 (!!!) in a few days. That, and the fact that he had to use a wheel walker made me decide to help him out. Luckily he was not going to drive the car, he just wanted to remove the snow and just start it up. A man at his age driving around on these conditions would have been crazy!

A collage of my neighbours houses taken yesterday evening during the snow blizzard. Ok, maybe not a snow blizzard, but Oslo Airport Gardermoen was closed, the traffic was a mess, the tram, subway and the trains had major problems so it was pretty much chaos when we headed back home after having been to the 1 years birthday to Veslemøy.

Some of you might say that people in Oslo complains to much with the following argument “Where we live, a bit of snow is not a problem”. But just to give you an example, our road Haugerudhagan have not seen a plow truck the entire weekend, so driving here is now pretty hard to do. In fact, I have realized that if it isn’t a matter of life and death, our car won’t leave the garage. When you then add that some people doesn’t even have snow tyres, you can understand that even the easiest road might turn into the highway to hell.
