Donkeyboy on NRK

Must say I wonder why Donkeyboy with their song Ambitions is getting so much time on NRK. Have seen the video two times the past week in between programs. One thing would have been if the video had been showed in a program about music, but in between programs? Not to be mistaken, the song is pretty good, but even so…why that band, that song? Who do they know?

Wrote this one when wathing Trygdekontoret, listening to Thomas Seltzer saying the phrase Funciton before Fashion

@Update: I’ve been told that this is a new thing done by NRK on NRK3. Elin have also seen the new Shakira video in between other programs.

Me – a winner in the lottery

The Norwegian Red Cross have arranged for you to join their lottery when recycling empty bottles. I did it on Saturday and I won!!! Recycled bottles worth 9 NOK, pressed the button and then the sound of victory and more…I had won…the total amount of 10 NOK…!!! CRAZY!!!

When sending letters where you beg for money, please make a not “Lottery – begging” on the front, in that way I can sort your letter out from the rest of the mail…

Out with Espen in Lillomarka

Espen and I spent the afternoon in Lillomarka today. We met at Bjerke and took Gamle Hadelandsvei to Lilloseter, then to Sørskogen. From Sørskogen via Johnsens Hvile and following the ski trail ending up at Griseputten. From there to Solemskogen, over the top of the ski jump at Linderudkollen down to Årvoll. The last bit at Årvoll was a bit troublesome. We should have turned left instead of right and ended up in a construction area. Had to carry our bikes down the hill, and then at the shooting range at Årvoll we had to climb over the gate. Not to get in, but out…

A lovely day for a bike ride

Spent some time cleaning my bike and doing maintenance today. Really needed to tighten some screws and clean it after a couple of very good, but long and heavy rides the past weeks. After that I had just enough time to go out for about an hour or so. Very nice weather, a bit more slippery than yesterday because of the frost from last night. But at about three o’clock that was no problem, but it was a bit more wet than yesterday and therefore slippery. Very happy, it’s late October and I’m still able to go out on single trails and almost have no need to clean the bike when home.

Anyhow, my biking is nothing compared to this http://www.vimeo.com/3367095

Snapshots from when out walking

Me and Anders walked down to Ingrid yesterday while Elin came about an hour later driving the car. Noticed this fence nearby Bryn, gives “No Trespassing” new meaning, five layers of barbed wire, would not climb over there.

Then, just a few meters further I just had to take a picture of this graffiti saying: “Ronny pøbel, føkk døkk” (You need to be Norwegian to get the point, but føkk = fuck anyhow)

Birkebeinerrittet 2010

I’m now registered. My goal is faster than 3:30 which will guarantee Birkebeinermerket. Read more about Birkebeineren at http://www.birkebeiner.no/English/Birkebeiner-history/ When done, I will never do it again. But, ok, my friend Espen said the same and he is now registered for Ultrabirken, quite sure I will do Ultrabirken as well in 2011…but, never Norseman
