I'm in the 80s these days, and I wanna stay here. Blinds, clothing and music punktum

if I cared for sweets...

since last time:
I have moved to Grüneløkka were we now rent an apartment.
I've stopped using the internet due to the fact that I haven't got any.
I've spent all my money in London.
I've started writing scripts again and I am planning to buy a camera.

I've realized that I won't stop blogging, since I kind of miss it. But I have no idea when I'll have the time.

Have a nice summer..

I'm in Oslo, working 9 to 5 to make a living, and last night we went to St.Hanshaugen, where it was a climate concert something something.

Last friday some friends met up at Halvor's in the evening...

...to catch up..

Lars Magnus was there.

Sven was there. With his girlfriend.

Konstantin, and Halvor, naturally.

And the neighbour's cat, Citrus, or something like that.

Jon Martin!

and mathias and moi.

a great night with some of my good, old friends..

if I could, I would just live in your suitcase.

I'm in Fredrikstad, at my parents' place, trying to enjoy my 5 days of summer, before I'll start working at a new job in Oslo. All I do is hunting apartments, contacting the bank, and other sort of interesting, but quite boring stuff.

Today I'll dig up my list of unpublished blog posts and start blogging again. Jej . . .

the view from our balcony at noon, last night.

I'm using an analogue camera these days.. these photos were on my digital..

had to show the sleeping ferret.. he is so weird. I'm taking care of a little female ferret from today, so now (and for a week) I've got two, running around in the apartment. I'll show some ferret tricks later.. haha..

(just don't feel like blogging these days. don't know why. the motivation and inspiration will be back as soon as I start bringing my digital cam around again, I suppose)

what I'm doing today.

noreply@blogger.com (race you to the bedroom) — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 09:05:00 +0000

I got up when I didn't want to sleep any longer, and brought my pillow into the living room.

I'm watching Le quatre cents coups (one of the three best films ever ever ever), and it is raining outside my window.

when I'm done watching it, I'll catch a bus.

and I'll meet up with a friend and drink lots of coffee.

I'll read the book I'm currently reading, 羊をめぐる冒険 until I'm tired of reading.

I'll make something veggie for dinner.

and maybe watch a little television in the evening.

I'm finally done with school and today I'll do whatever I want!

just checked my inbox and found this picture my mother sent me.. assume this is my brother's new tee, as he was went to see dinosaur jr and built to spill. shit.. spring/summer is all about band tees and THIS is definitely one of the greatest album covers and I'll definitely 'steal' this at least once during summer.

What the hell is wrong with freedom? That's what it's all about.

rest in peace, Dennis Hopper.

I haven't got time to blog these days, but I constantly catch myself spending time in cyberspace (such a terrible addiction).. However, yesterday I discovered this image of Kemp Mulh, and now I'm not too worried that it'll be no summer this year, cause I'm inspired by this outfit.

Friday I met up with Signe

and Leif

to go here

for Ingvild's birthday party.

some co-workers of mine, and Ingvild, showed up.

Ingvild, always happy.

Kristian paid a visit.

Patrick was there.

Tor-Erik.

David was wearing a t-shirt with the same band/record as mine! what are the chances..

Tarjei and Timmy.

cake with small animals.

David and Inger Lise.

"kulebur"

people hung out on the kitchen floor.

we danced a lot to everything from hüsker dü and fleetwood mac to plastic bertrand and mareva galanter.

around 4 o'clock we decided to go home, since some of us we're going to work in a couple of hours.

I danced my way home with David Bowie, Brigitte Bardot and Fleetwood Mac.

I took a lot of pictures.. some of a cat and a postman, and then I sat down for a while, and finally, deadly exhausted I was back home around 5.30.

a great night!

WHO: Ray K. Metzker

WHEN: 1931-present

WHERE: the U.S., born in Milwaukee

WHAT: b/w photographer, who started at the age of 14

WHY: i think shows his own signature in all his photos, and he consequent sticks to b/w and analogue (i read about him, at an exhibition two years ago, that he hates digital cameras).. AND his photos are quite reflexive to themselves, because of the work he does with them. Like the last one, for instance, which is sort of questioning the meaning of photography.

PS: he also takes photos of nature, they're nice, but they don't really appeal to me in the same way.. i'll do this post on photographers until i'm out of favorites.

Have a super-duper-splendid weekend!

remember my last wishlist? right after I made it I ordered this t-shirt, and finally it has arrived!
so now I'm wearing one of the best records ever made, and Simpel gets to join the dance.
happy!

17th of may.

noreply@blogger.com (race you to the bedroom) — Thu, 20 May 2010 07:29:00 +0000

this year the norwegian constitutional day, or the country's birthday, happened on a monday and I decided to celebrate it for the first time in four years.

9.30 in the morning mathias and i met up to eat breakfast with a bunch of good people.

we had only been able to get a couple of hours of sleep that night, and were really tired.

we listened to classical music and ate eggs, herring, ham, and whatever we wanted. daniel, fredrik, belma and kjetil.

and desert! cheese cake and "roll cake" (haha..i have no intention of looking the right word up. prefer it this way..)

leif was there and fredrik.

i got so full by drinking beer with the food, and couldn't really make room for cake:(

mathias did.

telling a story.

johannes enjoying the coffee.

signe and halvor discussed music, i think.

i fancy dead flowers and funny fruit faces on the refrigerator.

johannes and ... whatshisname? (sorry)

since we never planned for celebrating the 17th of may, mathias didn't bring his suit to Trondheim, but i think he looked nice in jeans aswell.

around 12.30 we walked down to the centre of the city, where all "folks" meet, waiting for you. (just happened to get trapped in some lyrics there..)

everybody was capturing the day.

i wore my bruuns bazaar dress.

jon martin brought the pipe.

the weather wasn't too good, but at least it wasn't raining.

we watched the parade, and there was star wars!

it happened so fast, we didn't get the chance to make the settings on the camera or anything.

there was so many people and hard to walk anywhere, so mathias and i sat down to have some coffee, but i forgot to take any pics.

earlier we tried to buy popsickles or ice cream, but -- just too crowdy!

later on, after making way through all the lined up people and all the marching ones, we met up with the others at Ni muser, for more beer.

ceci n'est pas une pipe. (sorry, couldn't help it)

after that, mathias went to daniel's to watch a hockey match, or game, or whatever you call it, as i went home to get some wine and food. later on daniel and mathias made burgers.

arnkjell is living there too, and hilde came.

lars magnus came, and he was really hungry.

a lot of people showed up to barbeque, but i had to eat and forgot to take pics.

after eating and watching some television, some went to buy ice cream (i got one!) and then those of us who were still there started playing.

fun!

although it doesn't seem so here.. it got really hot.

siv and andreas came and played too.

such a fantastic day! hip hurrah!

a summer day.

noreply@blogger.com (race you to the bedroom) — Tue, 18 May 2010 08:16:00 +0000

the day before yesterday it was 21 degrees here all day! nine o'clock we, when it was 18 degrees(!), we just couldn't stay inside any longer and jumped a bus.

the "Høgskole-"park was flooded with people embrazing the summer.

(wow, we look weird. i think we've been inside studying too long)

the norwegian version of "school's out, beat up the freshments" is a three or four weeks party and we could tell many of these were happy it was the last night.

lars magnus was there, and he brought music.

a man, who was really wasted and for some unknown reason insisted on speaking english, laid down for a while, after discussing the rules of football, tyler durden, being from the countryside of norway and that god (whom he did not believe in) would strike him down later that night..

siri was there. she's incredible. she managed to participate in stories about our friends, who she doesn't know.. (if that made any sense to you) so much fun.. when we didn't have any more beer left, we went down to Mikrobryggeriet for a little while.

since i only brought this camera lens most of the pics are like this. unfortunately. it doesn't really favour the dark.

PS yesterday was constitution day, or whatever we're supposed to call it, most people say "happy birthday, Norway" and it's just total chaos, like a south american carnival. however, i'll make a post about what i did yesterday, as soon as i get the chance.

b/w.

must have two in the wave NOW!

noreply@blogger.com (race you to the bedroom) — Sat, 15 May 2010 08:36:00 +0000

I just discovered this documentary about the friendship between the two french new wave directors (to the left) Jean-Luc Godard and François Truffaut.

Jean-Luc together with the actors Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg. (funny how they all share the first name!)

Have anyone seen Two in the Wave? Is it even out on DVD? I must have it...

Yesterday I consecrated the spring with watching Lords of Dogtown, and since I've decided to start reviewing some films, a review of this one is coming up! Now I'm off to work..

I really hope you all have a nice weekend.
