Once In A White Moon

Where’s Twitter?

It seems Twitter is down. Now I’m all lost. I don’t know what to do. I keep speaking in sentences of only 140 characters. I keep wondering what Barack Obama is up to. Suddenly I have no funny links to articles on the web or funny videos on YouTube. I can’t even tell the world what I’m doing or what I’ve just seen.So I’ve stooped to the level of actually writing on my blog again. That’s what happens when the world stops.So here’s a short tweet: "Watchmen". Very true to the graphic novel. Visually stunning (including Malin Akerman). A bit on the long side. 8/10

Aragog paid me a visit last night

Last night, just before brushing my teeth before going to bed, I noticed something dark in the corner of my eye. I turned around and saw this monstrosity. Having mild to heavy arachnophobia I actually let out a short scream and suddenly found myself in the adjoining room.After calming down I got my Nikon and attached the macro lens and snapped a few shots to document the creature. I then brushed it into a bucket (with some toilet paper. Not with my hand. Are you crazy!?) (it actually made quite a thud when it hit the bottom of the bucket) and then emptied the bucket into the toilet.Now, about the arachnophobia. Me being scientific, and a critical and rational thinker, I know perfectly well that […] Read more

I got up very early in the morning, took the train to Oslo and a bus to the hospital. I waited, talked to a doctor, waited, waited some more, a nurse took a few samples of blood, waited again, until finally… I was told to go home since they wouldn’t have time to do the surgery on my the next day after all. The person scheduled to have surgery in front of me got a more extensive surgery than […] Read more

Totally unrelated to Arthur

A few weeks ago I drove to the office as I usually do in the morning. At the last intersection before my office building I was turning left and noticed a car standing a bit further out than normal in the intersection, but he was waiting for me and I took a nice and wide turn around him. When I was right in front of him he suddenly started driving forwards towards me, and since I was in the middle of my turn I had nowhere to go, so he hit my car. The collision was at very low speed so fortunately no injuries or serious damage to either of the cars. Still, my car got a nice little dent and some scrapes right in […] Read more
