Without shaving foam and shampo

At Leikanger http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leikanger today, got here with Widerøe from Gardermoen to Sogndal. While passing the security check at Gardermoen the nazi security guards took away my shampoo and shaving foam…so I wonder how I will look and smell when back home tomorrow!!! Bastards! All thanks to freaking security paranoia…

Å lese Lolita i Teheran – Azar Nafisi

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.

Lolita

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

Imodium Comp

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.

Hurdalsjøen Rundt

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)

A very good tool

Yes!! Below 80 kg!

For the first time in years, meaning 1 and a half year, since I stopped running due to my legs complaning after 5 marathons in one year I’m now finally below 80 kg again. Have been cruising just above, but now, due to my new bike, I have lost weight 🙂

But, I guess you have to have a trained eye to notice it, but in my head it makes a big difference

Handy hunks in action

Two weeks ago we had to do some work, renewing the panel on our house. Me and Nicola, the neighbor downstairs where adrenalin junkies and used the lift. I also invited my friend Ole Terje, but he refused, instead he wanted me to come and help him later this summer with the same at his house. Afraid of heights, he….you must be kidding me 🙂

Anyhow, we talked about starting as carpenters since we felt we managed so good … me, a handy hunk, not afraid of heights…should have seen me two days before when we had no lift, just the ladder…it slipped when I was all the way up. Just 5 cm luckily, but enough to make me quit and ask our painter to borrow the ladder.
