Stuck on the subway

Yesterday I was late for work. When in then tunnel between Jernbanetorget and Stortinget the power disappeared and the train stopped about 10 metres from the platform. No help for me since I was sitting in the second car. Not sure how, but in front of us there was one of the new MX3000 which had power. It reversed back to my train and connected to it. Then we could walk all the way through our train, into the MX3000 and then out on the platform at Stortinget. Yet another dramatic incident in my life ended good 🙂

Making popcorn

Yesterday evening me and Anders was home alone. After I had put him to bed, I decided to make myself popcorn. The recipe is quite simple, fill the bottom of the pan with oil, turn the heat on. When it is very hot, fill the bottom of the pan with corn until it is all covered. Wait, shake once in a while. So I did, and as you can see I’m living on the edge. 10 more corns, and disaster might had happened.

The lid was a bit lifted by the popcorns, but disaster did not happen.

But, after I had removed the lid, three corns suddenly popped…scary!

Hellacopters in concert

I was paralyzed
as i opened up my bloodshot eyes
do i really wanna know
where i’ve been or where i’ve put my nose

Yesterday Anders, Espen, Loy, Bendik and I went to see the farewell concert to Hellacopters. Pure rock’n roll, very good concert I must say!! They got on stage, and immediately started playing. After four songs Nicke said “Tjena Norje!” (Hello Norway), then right on to the next song. How cool is that, no chitchat, just rock’n roll!!

In Glitnir we trust

– Jeg føler at bunnen var på forrige fredag, sier Thomas Lande, meglersjef i Glitnir Securities, til E24. http://e24.no/boers-og-finans/article2711561.ece

Earlier this year

– De sitter på gjerdet. Det er usikkert hvor bunnen er, sier Lande og legger vekt på at fallet ikke har noe å gjøre med forventet inntjening i selskapene. Dette er først og fremst basert på psykologi, mener Lande

– Hvor det stanser er anybody’s guess, utdyper han (Thomas Lande) http://www.dn.no/forsiden/borsMarked/article1291892.ece?jgo=most_read&WT.svl=sistlest

He guesses and feels, not alone doing that the past few weeks. Soon Christmas, so now we can start wishing as well
