How is it possible that I've caught another cold? I've barely been outside the door for days..
Just been sitting here screaming at the computer. Or just staring at it. I thought that maybe if I concentrated real hard on the keyboard, the keys would start moving, and my thesis would write itself. Unfortunatly it hasn't happend yet.. But I've only been trying for a few days... probably haven't found the right wavelengths yet..

Ok, so I'm a total geek... or dork.. What's the difference between those two anyway?

I am USELESS!!
Haven't written a single word on my thesis for days and days. Not words that make any sense anyway. Independent thinking - fuck that!
Not cut out for this master crap.. Why did I deside to continue doing this shit. Not even that interesting.
Oh and I found six white hairs on my head today! And I mean WHITE, not blonde or gray. White like the teeth of your average hollywood star.. Having pitch black hair - they kinda stood out.. All this not writing is getting to me.. But I thought stress turned your hair gray.. And I'm not even 26 yet..
But my hair is weird I know that. I once found a fire truck red hair, and I have found several white ones throughout the years.. but never that many at the same time.. And a few times I found hairs that were black at the basis and went lighter and lighter towards the tip, which was platina blond..

Short visit to my parents. Read Doppler by Erlend Loe on the way down, and South of the border, west of the sun by Haruki Murakami on my way back. A good way to spend some hours on a train/bus.. They are both short and well written, so it's a fast read. Can recomend them both. The norwegian translation of Murakami's books are very good. I've read some translated books where you were left wondering if the person translating actually knows the original language.. Oh and when they replace pop cultural references to something norwegian. Sometimes if say a british tv personality is mentioned, in the translation they replace him/her with the norwegian equivalent.. It's annoying. If I don't know who they are talking about - I look it up! Now that I think about it, I'm not sure if I actually have read books where they have done that.. It's seems like a ridiculous thing to do. Maby I'm just thinking about the subtitles in movies and on tv shows.. because they often to it there.. But no, I have a feeling I've read books where they've done that.. God, now I probably won't be able to stop thinking about that until I find out what books I was thinking of..
Came across a recording of Grant-Lee Phillips from Norwegian Wood in 2002. Haven't listened much to his music recently. But my god, he's good! Wonder when he's going to release something new.. Hopefully soon - they say he's in the studio now so.. Fingers crossed.

Listened a bit more to 30 seconds to mars... and well.. Jared Leto seem to have gotten quite a bit of help on his vocals in the studio.. Saw a live performance clip, and his voice seemed very weak when he was singing and kind of drowned in all the sound. But then there wasn't all that much singing.. alot of screaming though.. I guess that's the only way he can be heard.. But to be fair, I've only seen his one clip, so he maybe just had a bad day..
But the cd. Well, listened a bit to this A beautiful lie. There are some very catchy MTV friendly songs that managed to get to me. So yes I kinda liked the obvious singles. But the album as a whole was really boring. Haven't listened to their first album yet, which I hear is better. I think I'm intrigued enough to check it out. But I have to admit that it's mainly because its that guy from Requiem for a dream, Fight Club and My so-called life.. Which I guess is exactly the way he doesn't want his band to be recognised..
Oh, and speaking of movies. Tried now on several occations to watch this movie Edison. I thought, Kevin Spacey - I would be all over it. But MY GOD. How fucking boring. Can't even manage to sit through 1/4 of it. I think I'll have to watch it in like 10 minute clips if I ever want to see all of it.. But I don't really think I want to.. So if I have to compare the two cross-over artists - I would have to say that Jared Leto is better as a musician than Justin Timberlake is as an actor. Oh forgot about LL Cool J. I guess he's probably one of the most sucessful cross-over artists. But what's with the name.. I just can't take anyone named that seriously as an actor. It's like Meatloaf. For fuck sake. If your going to try and be a serious actor - change your fucking name. Like anyone is ever going to say and the 'Oscar goes to Meatloaf'... Well, I guess anything is possible. Cher got one didn't she?..

Was looking for information on these super-hyped Arctic Monkeys, which, yes, sounds pretty good. Coming to Oslo in december. Wonder if there are tickets left - I might just go then.. Somehow got from them to 30 seconds to mars. Had no idea Jared Leto was in a band. And from the look of it, he's been at it for a while. Ahh.. I remember my friends and I thought he was soooo cute in My so-called life. Teenage crush aside, that was a good series. Felt much more real than most of the other crap that was around then... It's like Freaks and Geeks. Why did they cancel those after just one season? Or maybe it's for the best. Have one great season.. Like take 24. I really liked the first season. But then I thought they should have called it quits, or at least changed the main character.. I mean how many bad days like that can one guy have? But I digress.. the music.. Now, I haven't heard too much yet. But it sounded alright. Some of it was a bit too nu-metally.. But I think I'm going to give it a bit more of a listen.. Don't know if he's on the list of ridiculed actors turned singers - but from what I've heard so far, I don't think he should be. I totally get that alot of actors will turn to music and vice versa.. But most of them should probably just kept it as a private hobby.. Just got a copy of that show that aired on MTV a few years ago. 25 lame.. and on the top - Don Johnson with Heartbeat. I've only seen that like once before, so it wouldn't have made my list. But I can see why it won..

this is brilliant, hadn't seen this before. The two BBs at Glastonbury 2004.

I used to buy my chips from an oppressive chip shop regime.
The girl who worked there, she seemed happy,
But I knew it was not what it seemed.

"Do you want salt and vinegar", was what they made her say,
But in the language of the ghetto,
That means, "Help, I'm a woman in chains"

I wanted to free her.
In my dreams I would see her.
Running naked through the woods round Rainham,
If I had some tigers I'd train them.
To protect her

From the sexual fascism that was lurking, round the gherkins
(yeah)

I'd lean across the counter and we would talk,
I carved the name "Debbie" on a little wooden fork.

But into the shop came a skinhead gang,
They snatched the fork from my hand.

Debbie, she looked at me, to assert my masculinity.
I said "Oi!", they said "What?", I said "Nothing..."

Hufu? Are you fucking kidding me - is that for real?
Yuck! And how do they know that it tastes like humans?
Probably tastes like chicken.. most weird meat is said to taste like that isn't it? Dogs.. lizards..

oh.. no it doesn't apparantly.
"Hufu is designed to resemble, as humanly possible, the taste and texture of human flesh. If you've never had human flesh before, think of the taste and texture of beef, except a little sweeter in taste and a little softer in texture. Contrary to popular belief, people do not taste like pork or chicken."

'If you've never had human flesh before...' Now that sounds like whoever wrote that has tried human flesh.. So is there a large cannibalism community out wherever this was made..
A bit hungry now.. Maybe I'll make me some tofu..
