Jean Michel Jarre in concert

Yesterday I went to Jean Michel Jarre‘s world tour making a stop in Oslo. I hadn’t seen Jarre live for some 15 years, so I was excited to see what he would bring to the country this time around.All in all, the concert was pretty good. He played a lot of golden oldies, as well as a bit of new stuff I didn’t immediately recognize. He mostly focused on the Oxygene series, but also played some other well known stuff like Rendez-Vous and Magnetic Fields.His stage show was also quite entertaining, with awesome white lasers and strange LED-displays with alien heads looking ominously at the audience. Compared to the stage show 15 years ago, this current one wins, hands down.So far it seems this concert […] Read more

I’m no pig

So I’ve gotten the cold. I’ve been worn out all day, my nose is running and is also clogged up. I do suspect that my allergies might’ve had a hand in it since the birch pollen falls heavy from the birch trees. I don’t suspect this is the H1N1 flu, though, so don’t worry.I’ve been really lazy at updating my blog lately, and it seems I have to get a bit ill to write.A lot of stuff have happened to me lately, so I just have to find the strength and inspiration to write about it, so more to come soon… soon-ish… maybe… I hope.

Where I state the obvious

In case you actually got fooled about my big news yesterday, it was all a big scam. If you didn’t realize, yesterday was April 1st, which is the excellent day in the year where you can make up whatever you want and claim it to be true.Obviously, Lucasfilm has not contacted me to write for the upcoming Star Wars live action TV-series. No matter how much I want this to be true, it’s still a figment of my imagination.I hope I actually managed to fool a few people out there, though I doubt it. I do have a lot of great ideas, though, so if Lucasfilm actually wants to hire me, I’m all yours.

Writing the stars!

Someone has actually found the script for my infamous Star Wars fanfilm on my server, and they actually liked it. They sent it around, and what goes around comes around. A few weeks ago it came back to me with a major seal of approval; from Lucasfilm itself! (though not directly from George Lucas).They liked my writing style and ideas and would like me to join the writing team for the new Star Wars live action TV-series coming out later this year. Of course, I can’t say much about this with a very strict Non-Disclosure Agreement tying my hands, which also prevented me from telling you about it before the 2nd quarter of 2009. I can give you this little teaser, though. A female bounty […] Read more
