Escape from boredom

My latest book “Å lese Lolita i Teheran” by Azar Nafisi, a good follow up to my previous book which also was written by a female from Iran. I would recommend this one as well, as it gave me a valuable view into the daily life of Iran, how the government influences it, and how the citizens tries to cope with the moral police and such. At first I found the book a bit boring, due to all the talk about literature, but I soon realized that it was an important part of the book – the red line.

And “Iran våkner” and this book has been a refreshing opposite viewpoint of Islam compared to “Why I’m not a muslim” ibn_warraq_why_am_i_not_a_muslim

Have you seen the tv ad for Imodium Comp? It is a medicament stopping diarrhea, and the commercial goes like this: A woman walking out of her home, then when down the stairs you see two of her and hear a voice saying “have you had these days when accute diarrhea have stopped you from doing what you want? Eat Imodium Comp and be able to cure your diarrhea”. Then you see the woman going to the movies with a friend of her. I found the description on the Apotek 1 web page, it is said to cure

Like anyone would take a pill and head straight off to the cinema after having just had diarrhea.

And if you have problems the straight opposite, another tv add showing “Ingunn, not in four days”, you can try Dulcolax.

I have been participating in “Hurdalsjøen Rundt” today, a 65km (70 according to my computer) race around Hurdalsjøen. I was very happy when crossing the finishing line, I made it in less than 2 hours and with an average speed of 35 km/h. That includes 5 kilometers of steep up hill in the mid of the race.

The results are here …ResultaterHurdalsjoenRundt2007.txt
(Some did the short run – 50 km/h, some did the long run)
