My latest book was yet again about the World War II, this time about the Russian reporter Vasilij Grossman. A very good book, very interesting to read about the war in a Russian context. More about the writer in Norwegian http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasilij_Grossman
A review of the book, also in Norwegian http://www.aftenposten.no/kul_und/litteratur/article1165986.ece
Også Harald Strømme i reklamebyrået Try advarer nå annonsørene mot å trekke seg fra «De 7 dødssyndene». Strømme sier han tror etablerte merkevarer som Coca-Cola og Expert er bedre tjent med å bli identifisert med Kristopher Schau enn med Finn Jarle Sæle, redaktøren av i Norge i dag.

I totally support TV2 and Schau, and remember: do not let Finn Jarle Sæle define what is good television or not
Have been in Vienna since Saturday, traveled down early to participate at the User Group Advisory Council , and have been attending the conference since Monday. I have learned a lot, but you better check at the blog at my companies website http://www.workplace.no/ (In Norwegian). But apart from the daily agenda it is always important to get to know people and expand my network. So for that reason I agreed to go out on town yesterday with Brian even though I had planned to go to bed early 🙂 So we hooked up with his colleague Tim. Tim had heard that the Kju-Club was supposed to be a good one, so we ended up there – and that is confirmed as well:

I did, in response to http://www.dagbladet.no/kultur/2007/11/03/517124.html?1193949641#1193949641 If this is the worst thing they have seen, they have not seen much I must say…
I wonder when a boy becomes a man, is it when he does grown up things, but if he does childish and stupid things he is still a boy. In Norwegian, consider the following statement
Tagger pågrepet
Vektere fra Oslo Sporveier meldte klokka 12.29 at de hadde tatt hånd om en gutt på 22 år som hadde tagget på dører og gulv i et togsett. Gutten ble overlevert til politiet og kjørt i arresten.
22 years old, I do consider that idiot a man, even though he is doing stuff that even a five year old knows is wrong. Graffiti is cool, sometime at least, but tagging, I’m not able to see why they do it…criminals!

There is a new trailer for GTA IV available, for sure quite old for those who are really hard core and checks that web page each day, but anyhow – I’m really looking forward to it http://www.rockstargames.com/IV/
Last weekend we bought the DVD “Kalde Føtter” when out shopping food. I had seen the trailer last year and thought is seemed cool. So, we spent Saturday evening watching something…boring…The story was kinda funny, but the actors – god damn, did they read from a script all the time?? I agree with VG…2 http://www1.vg.no/film/film.php?id=7647
Then yesterday we bought “Babel” http://www.filmweb.no/kino/article101332.ece. Much better, well worth the 99,- kroners spent. The concept of several stories sewn together has been seen before, but that does not matter, the movie is still good.
And today, due to the fact that our apartment sucks right now, it smells paint and we store food in the living room since there are almost no shelves left. I did not feel like going home when we had been out shopping, so I insisted on going to the cinema. So we went to see “Slaget om den forbudte by” (Curse of the Golden Flower) http://www1.vg.no/film/film.php?id=8477 Read the verdict (in Norwegian), funny and I agree 🙂
Just read Hege Storhaugs lates book, this book about the hijab http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hijab. This book not as good as the one before, mainly due to the chapter where she dresses in a burka and walks around in Oslo. But apart from that, still a book worth reading.
Elin doing her thang…

All that is left in the kitchen today
My laptop available as always
We have not teared down most of the kitchen, just keeping the sink to be able to do the dishes for a couple of days more at least. So now almost all memories from Jetmund, except the smell of onion, is outside…

These two pictures where found on the floor under the oven.
