I’ve had a Gastroscopy

Anything but the other

Yesterday I had to do a gastroscopy. Just a routine check, nothing major wrong with me, but it had to be done. I’ve heard so much about it, would not say I was worried, but I did not know what to expect. Ok, it was not nice, I would prefer not to do it, but then again it was not that bad. I was able to breath without any problems, and occasionally I wanted to throw up, but that is normal. If you want to find out how it is being done, take a look at this video at Youtube (I do not embed this one 😉 )

Actually, the worst part if you ask me is that you are not allowed to eat or drink the whole day. So I got to bed at about 23:30, and was not able to eat or drink before about 16:00…I guess I had been sleeping for about two hours when I woke up and was feeling veeeery thirsty…

And also, I’ve been told that a endoscopy is worse 🙂

Spotify

Music

Must admit Spotify impressed me just now. I read about Jahn Teigen at norskmusikk.org, and with Spotify running I wanted to listen to some of his music. I already have “En Dags Pause” in my cd collection, but I wanted to listen to some of his really old stuff – Popol Vuh, or Popol Ace (they had to change their name). And to my surprise, Spotify does have Popol Ace, so if you have Spotify, just click on the following link http://open.spotify.com/track/3rRVXVbzvsI1JDOSkPZkd1

Senkveld yesterday

Leisure

We where watching “Senkveld” yesterday evening and I must say it was one of their best shows I’ve seen for a very long time. The main reason for this being that they did not have any interview objects that where from other tv shows at TV2. I get so sick and tired of tv shows talking about other tv shows.

Concert with Eva Kristine Bjerga Haugen together with Espen Eriksen Trio

Music

This evening Elin and I went to a concert with Eva Kristine Bjerga Haugen and Espen Eriksen Trio, playing support for someone else (we went home before they started playing) http://www.nasjonaljazzscene.no/pa-plakaten/neil-cowley-trio-plateslipp. To thoose of you who know my taste of music, I have not turned into a jazz-man, but when Lars Tormod play I listen to jazz 🙂

rblog – Connecting people once again

Music

My blog has once again connected people like it has two times before, only this time I was a part in it. Thomas from Switzerland was trying to get hold of a copy of the soundtrack from Izzat, but he realized that it was not as easy as he had hoped for. No one of the online music stores who had Izzat did not deliver outside of the Nordic countries. Instead, I ordered it for him together with a copy of Gluecifer – Kings of Rock, Best of and Rarities. Instead of money in return for the job I wrote to Thomas that he should in return send me some music from Switzerland, and so he did. He sent me The Monsters “I see dead people” and also an ep of his own band The Strapones http://thestrapones.com/. Cool music, both bands reminds me of the Norwegian band The Mormones

No one can claim that blogging is a waste of time! 🙂

Spring work

Anything but the other

Espen and I went out to Vestreng today to unmount the ski boxes from our cars. I had also planned to change to summer tyres, but sadly I had to admit that they where totally stuck. Due to corrosion the wheel is stuck to the car axle. If the jack had been more stable I could have applied more pressure, but since its not I will take the car to the garage and get the tires changed there. And next winter use the proper amount of grease on the wheel to avoid this problem.
