Escape from boredom

LOL!!

…She thinks my tractor’s sexy
It really turns her on
She’s always staring at me
While I’m chuggin along
She likes the way it’s pullin’ while we’re tillin’ up the land
She’s even kind of crazy ’bout my farmer’s tan
She’s the only one who really understands what gets me
She thinks my tractor’s sexy…

Spent some time reading more about Generation Kill this evening, and I must say I dig it even more (is that possible??). I was not aware of the fact that the story is based on real life experiences, and also real life characters. The mini serie is based on the book of Evan Wright, the Rolling Stone reporter in Sgt. Brad ‘Iceman’ Colbert’s hummer. I like Generation Kill because it is the real stuff, no love story involved or such stuff, just “every day life” as normal as it could be for them invading Iraq. Find out more on Wikipedia

Try doing a search for the names of the characters, and you will find information about each one of them…

Next year HBO will release a new mini-serie about the WW2, “The Pacific”. Might not be as good as Generation Kill, but the filming looks impressing, a must see…

Now I’m running B2Evolution 3.3.2 “Venice”. A simple process upgrading from 3.3.1 to 3.3.2, just uploaded with my FTP-software “newer files only”. Some bugs have been fixed, apart from that no major changes

There has been a major issue in the newspapers that the government car which drove our industry minister, Trond Giske, broke the speed limit. As a follow-up of this, Dagbladet presents a quiz where people can say whether they think

1. This is bad
2. This is ok
3. Does not care at all

I pressed the last option, but when the results came out, the questions where totally different. I care about both speed limits and ministers, but I do not care about this incident. Why not? Because according to our road traffic law clause 11, it is ok, see for yourself at Lovdata. I find it stupid, presenting the options as “yes”, “no”, “don’t care” when you ask people to vote, but when you present the result you add a whole lot of text to the options.

Funny reading, check out all the comments to the article

On my way home on Friday. Flew from Gardermoen to Værnes and changed plane. Had to take a picture of the information screen at the airport there, not much flight info, but more about the operating system and such.

The flight from Trondheim to Mosjøen had a stop at Sandnessjøen. Just before the landing the captain said: “This is the captain speaking, today we have pretty bad conditions, we will try to land at Sandnessjøen so please tighten your seat belts extra good…” The picture from when we waited for the new passengers to enter speaks for itself.

On our way to the kindergarten today Anders and I spotted two guys in a van. They parked along the road, opened the trunk and started lifting various things out of it. Anders got kinda curios off course so we stopped. Then one of them got behind the wheel, and all of a sudden backed the car and drove over the equipment. And to make things even worse he put the car in 1’st, and drove over it once again. Then he got out of the car cursing (but off course!!)

Then they picked up the equipment and drove off…

I had to take a picture, a bit discrete.

Plenty of shoes seen hanging on wires around in Oslo. Heard about the crack theory first time when watching a tv show about Nina Persson living in New York. Just now read an article about this phenomenon here in Norway http://www.nrk.no/nyheter/distrikt/more_og_romsdal/1.6849767 Some funny comments, and I must admit that I agree with the ones saying “This is nothing else but pure fun…”

Wikipedia has more about it, and the movie “Wag The Dog” also has a reference to it (Skip to 2:10 in the clip and watch 🙂 ).
