Once In A White Moon

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.

During the last months I’ve come to the conclusion that a cello is really the string equivalent to a euphonium. After all, whenever we play classical pieces in my orchestra, the cello parts are always given to the euphonium. That’s when I figured out I wanted to learn how to play the cello.I started taking lessons a […] Read more

Hit and walk

Some people have mentioned that I should write this story in my blog, which I’m now doing for the enjoyment of new readers.A few weeks ago I was doing my grocery shopping. As I was packing my goods in the bags I noticed a weird character walking around the outside of the counters. What caught my eye was his strange posture, and the fact that it looked like he was taking photos with his mobile phone of the people in line… with a mobile phone without a camera, mind you.I ignored him and walked back to my car and put the groceries in the trunk, and got ready to drive back home. When you pull out of the parking lot outside the store you have […] Read more
