Escape from boredom

Today I tried Magnetic resonance scan for the first time (and hopefully my last). It was not that bad experience, I guess because I do not suffer from claustrophobia and also because I could wear ear protections. I was there to get a picture of my shoulder, and in a few days I will hopefully just get confirmed that my muscles are ok and I can start lifting without any fear of creating more damage to my arm.

Worst thing was that I had to remove my nipple piercing, but after having watched this video http://www.metacafe.com/watch/2194395/mri_scan_accident/ I realized that it was a good thing to remove it…and I know that both Elin and my mother appreciate that it is gone…

Then you have several options, you could choose to go for the safe, conservative and very common alternative – bikes that has bike chains.

But if you want to be more innovative, maybe want to prove that you are an early adopter in the urban market (ha-ha), you could go for the Trek District Bike. It uses a belt instead of a chain, in fact it might be a good alternative for my single speed. I have already had to replace two chains this year, and I give the one mounted on it right now just another month before that one must be replaced as well.

But you can be even more innovative, take a look at the Stringbike. That is for sure innovation! But it looks a bit complicated I must admit.

Today I was out with Anders, we had been at Teknisk Museum, which by the way surprised me bigtime being a paradise also for a boy only two and a half year. On our way home waiting for the bus the stop after Kjelsås, we had been at Shell buying some buns, I noticed a sign on the house just next to the bus stop. “Trøndersk Chargé d’affaires Oslo” and also showing the time both in Trondheim and New York.

Originally I planned to use the word “cemtrails“, but realizing that it might cause some misunderstanding, I use the correct word instead, which is contrails. But even still, I find it a bit interesting how much time and effort people can spend when it comes to conspiracy theory’s. But then again, for them it is the truth…nice pictures anyhow

Fire was off course co2 neutral thanks to co2 emissions 😉

Fire might hurt you…as it has done with Beavis

Following the internal Metro class at work for two days, enjoying good lunch at the restaurant Fjord og Fjell at the Telenor Expo Center here at Fornebu. The food is good, but the best part is off course the 180 degree view towards Oslo. Since I do not have a fisheye lens on my cell phone you most manage with this simple picture.

Another limitation when using my cell phone camera, back light. So here you have a picture of Thomas ready to enjoy his lamb knob (?), edited pretty much using Picasa.

At work we get a fruit basket twice a week. The past few weeks they have added a lot of kiwis which is a good idea in theory since kiwi is very good…but in real life at work, not such a good idea. We get a few plastic tools to help us eat the fruit, but it is not as sharp as a real knife making it impossible to peel the kiwi. And eating it with the spoon…did not turn out as I had hoped. Luckily I am an experienced kiwi eater so I had a paper towel underneath, but still, look at the result

Just had to take a picture when passing by this guy with a parrot on his shoulder at Torsov on Saturday.
