L'écume des jours.

Boris Vian (10 March 1920 – 23 June 1959) was a French polymath: writer, poet, musician, singer, translator, critic, actor, inventor and engineer. He is best remembered today for his novels. Those published under the pseudonym Vernon Sullivan were bizarre parodies of criminal fiction, highly controversial at the time of their release. Vian's other fiction, published under his real name, featured a highly individual writing style with numerous madeup words, subtle wordplay and surrealistic plots. L'Écume des jours is the best known of these works, and one of the few translated into English.

I finished reading Daniil Kharms small book of collected works this morning. Which apparently made me think of Boris Vian, my first surrealist favorite author.

Blue notebook no. 10 Daniil Kharms
There was a red-haired man who had no eyes or ears. Neither did he have any hair, so he was called red-haired theoretically.
He couldn't speak, since he didn't have a mouth. Neither did he have a nose.
He didn't even have any arms or legs. He had no stomach and he had no back and he had no spine and he had no innards whatsoever. He had nothing at all! Therefore there's no knowing whom we are even talking about.
In fact it's better that we don't say any more about him.

Blå Skrivebok nr. 10, Daniil Kharms
Det var en gang en rødhåret mann som ikke hadde øyne eller ører. Hår hadde han heller ikke, så rødhåret var en sannhet med modifikasjoner.
Snakke kunne han heller ikke, fordi han ikke hadde munn. Nese hadde han heller ikke. 
Han hadde ikke engang armer eller bein. Noen mage hadde han heller ikke, ingen rygg hadde han, og ingen ryggrad, og ikke noen slags innvoller heller. Han hadde ingenting! Så, det er umulig å skjønne hvem det var. 
Det er vel best at vi ikke snakker mer om han.

Голубая тетрадь №10, Дании́л Ива́нович Хармс

Был один рыжий человек, у которого не было глаз и ушей. У него не было и волос, так что рыжим его называли условно. 
Говорить он не мог, так как у него не было рта. Носа тоже у него не было. 
У него не было даже рук и ног. И живота у него не было, и спины у него не было, и хребта у него не было, и никаких внутренностей у него не было. Ничего не было! Так что не понятно, о ком идет речь. 
Уж лучше мы о нем не будем больше говорить.

I don't know what to read next, but Im exited. I think I have about 70 books here I haven't read yet ^^ Im thinking about having a go at Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse series, since we just finished watching the tv-series again.
They better be good.

And spring is finally here! :

Japanese Chai-tea?

...which doesn't make sense at all. But her Japanese cup is very cute, and chai tastes awesome. I've also eaten too much pineapple, so my tongue hurts. I'm at her place now, waiting for more girls to plan Geimgellan's bachelor-party. Yey!

Nom!

Broccoli- & cauliflower pot with cheese and macaroni ^^

I've finally learned how to update my blog using my phone. But how do you get the photo to stick on the middle of the screen, instead of to one side?  

Why, I try.

Coffee & nuts. I hate that book you see there -points-

If you look to the right, you can even get a glimpse of my boyfriend's arm. Lucky you.





And I think creativity is just as important as knowledge..

Oh, oh.

Good afternoon.


First Aid Kit - Ghost Town

This is what Im doing right now.

I no longer have a job. People gone bad, system's corrupt and stupid. I don't care. To me, I won! They know I fought, which in the end is all that matters. For now, atleast, and to me. Hopefully, things will change. The irony is; I haven't even met the woman I fought. She just doesn't like me, and according to what my organization says, I stand tall. As the first person who put myself up against her stubbornness. HURRAY!

...which probably also explains why she doesn't like me. (But I'll be back.)

 

 I've also moved out of my flat. Ofcourse there were arguments there aswell,  but we've sorted it out. I live with my love now, which is good ^.^ Felt like the right thing to do. After just 3 months together, haha. My flat was very small, and even though "my" new place (he'd been living there for a while already) is small too, there's no comparison. 

And I'll be going back here real soon! (picture beneath) Ah, London, how I miss thee. Hehhe, and my love hasn't been there yet, he's only been traveling through it. We'll be gone from 12th. till 17th. of april :)

I want to see the London Dungeons this time.

And eat at my favorite restaurants! Beetroot & this vegetarian thai buffet in Camden :) Cant find any web-page for it. 

We'll be going home sunday evening, which means we'll get the opportunity to experience the Portobello Market before we go ^^ Never had the chance before, never been there on a saturday. Looking forward to it!

I'm also looking forward to this weekend; my mum will come visit. Always nice, will be fun seeing her again! And then I can give her my birthday-present ;)

I should be studying. Waiting for him to finish class, then he'll be back here. Library later, then dinner together <3

Sisters of Mercy - Walk Away 

First day, new world.

Good evening people.

I can see I've been absent for too long, probably without anyone really noticing. But still, here's my first post of year 2011. Happy new year everyone, I wish you all the best for the new year to come!

As usual, when adding posts, I'm at my mum's place. She's got a really good internet, and since my computer ceased to exist about a week ago (third time already -.-), I'm also finding her computer rather useful. I've been here for about a week and a half, will be heading back to Bergen tomorrow.

This christmas has been quite amazing actually. Way past what I'd expected ;) Have now been with my boyfriend for about two months, and we've spent much time together during the holidays. Some at his place, some at my mum's. We also attended a yule blot at Landa, which was nice. Got to dress up as pretty vikings again, with mead & everything that follows (ofcourse also followed by a caugh & heavy tiredness).



It was fun. Good people, nice food, lots of various stuff to drink! And ofcourse, I got to spend more time with my dear one. I can't say that I'm looking forward to going back to work. There's been some trouble, because some people aren't doing they're job properly. There might just be me that there's something wrong with, but according to my colleagues, the problems are really being caused by someone at a higher level. So I guess we'll just see what happens after the holidays. It would be great to get a job at the music department in the city. Enough about that, since I have absolutely no idea about what's going to happen.

And now for something completely different! Im really starting to looking forward to next summer, with vikingmarkets and other events throughout the summer. Just curious about what oppertunities I'll have, considering work and school. I need new clothes though, I'll be working on it through the winter/spring. We're going to order woolen fabrics from this site [www.tekstil.no]. I've also started to fight, vikingstyle. Just started to feel comfy with my sword, which I'll show you in a photo sometime later, and have also learnt quite alot of fighting with knives and axes. Started practising with a re-enactment group called Kongshirden 1260, who base themself on the middleages, a.d 1260 (+-). This group isn't quite ideal to me, considering my occupation in homebased viking-age studies, but the people are nice, and they teach me stuff. Also met my boyfriend there, and ofcourse we hooked up as the two people in the medieval group who was commited to vikings, not middleages. ;) Hehe. I have to plan this summer quite thoroughly, so I won't miss out on anything. So much to do, so many places to go, and so little time & money to do so! Arg! I've also got other plans for the summer, which I'll reveal to you at a later point, when getting closer. Picture to the right is just a little hint :)

During jol, we took a walk at the vikingfarm at Bukkøy, sillying around in the snow. Here are some pictures:

New year's eve:

Self-portrait:

And various winter- and forest photos:

Mini-forest.

Some lurking wooden-creature.

Bubbles beneath the ice.

This took me a while, bad camera. But I managed to do what I wanted at last.

So long.
