Escape from boredom

On Tuesday the 20’th of February I sent the following question to Kvinnegruppen Ottar

Viser til artikkelen “Norge på topp i kvinnedrap” og følgende uttalelse fra Asta B. Håland “Gjør noe med lønna. Dersom kvinner blir mer likestilte i arbeidslivet, så minsker også volden”.

Må innrømme at den kommentaren er så svart/hvit at jeg rett og slett måtte sende mail og spørre på hvilket grunnlag den uttalelsen stilles. Finnes det forskning som tilsier at menn blir mindre voldelige mot kvinner hvis de tjener like mye? Og til syvende og sist hvis det er tilfelle, så blir jeg jo nesten litt bekymret på egne vegne, for…jeg og min samboer er vel å regne som et gjennomsnittlig par her i Norge da jeg tjener mer…lever vi da i faresonen?

Still no answer from kvinnegruppa@ottar.as A bit funny how Ottar’s leader supports Gerd Liv Valla just because she is a woman http://www.ottar.as/artikler/valla.html

Today, on March the 8’th, it is Womens Day. I wonder if this day is just a ghost from the old days. While watching the news today they had this news saying that only 15% of the top hundred list of people mentioned in the media where women. And then the Ombud for Equal Status Karita Bekkemellem Orheim was interviewed saying “This needs to be taken care of, I have several plans on how to change this…”. What could that be? A new legislation saying that for each man the newspapers has mentioned, they also need to mention a woman? Karita should spend her time on more important issues!

If they don’t have more important issues why the heck spend time having this day at all?

Found this chronicle touching this issue http://www.nytid.no/?sk=urix&id=3986

Tonight we saw “Marit Voldsæther, med ræven i fatle” at Latter together with Anette and Dag Anders. A really good show, with the parody of Gitarkameratene as one of the top numbers 🙂

Kent is staying at our place this week.

Couple of days ago, I went to Kjetil to help him carry in his new bathtub and carry out his old shower cabinet. We needed to split it up to get it out, no glass broken, lucky us

Today my little sister has been visiting us, and because of that we had to activities that suited a 10 year old girl. Must admit, in the morning we did it quite simple. First “Terkel i Knipe” http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0386820/ Then we moved on to Chichiro og heksene http://imdb.com/title/tt0245429/ or http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chihiro_og_heksene

Then, we got out of the house and went to NRK and their exhibition center http://www.nrk.no/opplevelser/ We tried reading the news and the weather forecast. Afterwards we went to the theater as specially invited guest by Charlotte. We saw “Lærde damer” http://www.detnorsketeatret.no/netuser/repertoire/presentation.asp?pid=178

Elin found an old friend

Ingrid, not so impressed by the car, but she posed for the picture anyhow

This evening we went to see Kristin Asbjørnsen in concert together with Charlotte. She is a really good singer I must say. Quite surprisingly, it was me who took the initiative to go to the concert, me – who likes rock’n roll…amazing… 🙂
