Escape from boredom

A new law banning men from having unkempt hair has been passed in Turkmenistan. They have laws banning ballet, and you have to pay £25.000 in tax to marry a woman from Turkmenistan. That gives a new perspective to ancient customs here in Norway where locals use to beat up people visting their village and stealing their women at local partys (this is very ironic by the way). Instead of beating strangers up, just empty their wallet.

And another thing the crazy president have done, he has changed the name of the month April in to the name of his now dead mother Gurbansoltan, who died in 1948. If that’s not delusions of grandeur, what would then be?

Read this article in Aftenposten about former congressional aide Jessica Cutler (a.k.a. Washingtonienne.). She had really been around the block, so to speak. She had relations to several men, and she wrote in her blog about her busy sex life, and in a very direct manner. She only used abbreviations for the men, apart from that she left nothing out. Fun reading, mostly because it does not affect me at all 🙂

Wonder if Janove Ottesen from Kaizers Orchestra will have a concert in Oslo during the autumn, really like his new song “Tell her”. Ok, it’s quite easy listening, but it’s a bit Oasis-like, and that’s cool. Did some searching with use of google, first I learned that his name is Janove, not Jan Ove, and then that he will release his solo album at the 27’th of September. Release concert anywhere….?

I’ve spent four years blogging before I started to use b2evolution. Should you by the way wonder what blogging is all about, you can read this article from Wired www.wired.com/wired/archive/10.05/mustread.html?pg=2. But, back to what I wanted to convey to my readers, you can find my old blog by following this link www.hellem.org/old_no/index.php?inkluder=om_ting

Off course it had to happen 🙂

Sitting doing some stuff on my computer listening while listening to Radio 1 www.radio.no. They are doing the highlights from this weeks breakfast show. They are four producers, three men and one woman. The three men have made a profile at some website where Russian women are searching for husbands, and the competition is about getting the most applications. Wicked and hilarious.

Just home from Kloppstock www.kloppstock.com, seen 10 minutes with Øystein Sunde, after that Karin Park www.karinpark.com – pretty good concert. Then we saw Gisli www.gislimusic.tk – pretty good as well. After Gisli Odd Nordstoga www.nordstoga.no played. That was in fact a very good concert, even though he plays hillbilly music. Almost everyone, except me and Bendik did know all his lyrics, young as old. Then there was a local band, alright, then Span www.span.mu – they had their last concert on their tour. No doubt that they had played 109 concerts the past seven months. They had a lot of fun on stage, and they where without doubt in harmony while playing (samspilt på norsk – er det rett mon tro?). After them came another local band not worth metioning, quite good, but me and Bendik went to get us something warm to drink as it was quite cold, so we did not bother to listen any particular when they where on stage.

And finally – 45 minutes after schedule, not sure who to blame, but it was not Bigbang fault at least, they came on stage. Bigbang are smashing live, to bad they had to cut of their playlist because of the delay, so now I need to go to yet another concert with Greni and CO.

Now to bed, good night
