Escape from boredom

Me, Espen, PeA, AJ and Eivind went to the release party of Kong Vinter II last Saturday at Månefisken http://www.manefisken.no/. Pictures from the party and also a teaser at the bottom of the page can be found here http://www.bigtrix.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=813. The movie…I liked the filming and that stuff better than the skiing. But all in all, I found it quite good!

Ever wondered about the meaning of a song, what’s the secret of the lyric, what was the composer thinking of when he/she sat there writing the stuff? You might get your answer at about.com, I search for Oasis and their Wonderwall http://experts.about.com/q/542/1635752.htm. You might also try http://www.songmeanings.net/, but keep in mind that this is more like “what the song means to me…”

Some memories from the concert with Coldplay last monday

First, me and Elin went out for a coffee and tea before we met the others. I ordered tea with ginger, lemon and honey – really good! And take a look at the capucino Elin ordered

And then to the concert, where we met Anders, Kikki, Cille and Anka. The concert was good, they are a great band and very professional – maybe a bit to professional…some of the songs was just like watching MTV…

The idea of “House With Bride” began while I was contemplating selling my house in Denver, Colorado. Although my company is located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, a few years ago I bought a house in Denver. My life in Albuquerque had solely revolved around my work, and I felt that I needed to make some changes to improve my social life and hopefully meet my “soul mate”.

I’ve single handedly handed out 150 buns to my former colleagues here at Bertel O. Steen. What have I achieved? Almost 150 people now remember why they don’t see me at Bertel O. Steen anymore, they know where I work now, and maybe they remember to call me if they need something done 😀

For the first time since the olympics in Salt Lake City 2002 I have to agree with Johan Mühlegg. To blame him for Per Elofsson not skiing anymore, that is not fair. Per, and Per only, decided to push so hard as he did, and as Johan says…it would have happended anyhow, the question was just when. http://www.vg.no/pub/vgart.hbs?artid=108798 (In Norwegian)

Espen and I are laughing out loud due to all the people without snow tyres today. It is snowing a lot, and people are changing tyres on the sidewalk outside his window. LOL. http://www.aftenposten.no/vaer/article1141986.ece

When I parked my car today I saw this when walking over to my office

And some more meters down the road, someone had forgotten to jars with jam…

This posting in Norwegian, since it all has to do with correct grammar for the Norwegian language.

Etter en lengre diskusjon på jobben om hvorvidt hvilken kan skrives med eller uten “h”, jeg mente at det skulle være med “h”. Uansett, for å få en slutt på denne diskusjonen så skrev jeg til selve kilden her i landet, nemlig Finn Erik Vinje http://www.hf.uio.no/inl/ansatte/erik.html, og han svarte følgende:

Kjære Rune Hellem

Nei, vi kan ikke skrive “vilken” uten “h” . Det dine arbeidskamerater tenker på, er trolig “verken”, som kan skrives slik eller med “h”: “Hverken”.

Beste hilsen
Finn-Erik Vinje

og for virkelig å sette prikken over i’en så fikk jeg også svar fra Språkrådet http://www.sprakrad.no

Språkrådet svarer:

Det er ikke lov å skrive “hvilken” uten h. Den eneste stumme h-en som man kan velge bort i dag, er h-en i “hverken”. Man kan skrive “verken”.
