Lille Silje.

2010-04-15T11:59:00.005Z

Som dere vet ble Silje født den 22.03.10, når har vi også fått fødselsattesten hennes så nå har hun offisiellt fått navnet Silje Loge Wahlstrøm.

Nå er det ikke lenge til hun er en måned gammel, og akkurat nå ligger hun og sover søtt heldigvis, det gjorde hun ikke i går for å si det sånn. På bildet er hun nyfødt og ligger i senga de får utlevert på barsel. I videoen ligger hun og drømmer om en tutt mens pappen er inne på butikken og kjøper en til henne.

Venter fremdeles...

2010-03-18T14:13:00.001Z

Sitter her med stor mage og venter fremdeles på at noe skal skje. Håper at det ikke er så lenge til nå for nå er jeg litt lei av å vente og vente.

Etterheving.

2010-02-16T13:39:00.001Z

Nå er det bare etterhevingen igjen så er hun klar. Bollen som ligger i magen hvis noen lurte. jeg vet det kommer til å ta litt tid enda, men jeg er klar så snart hun er klar, men hun bestemmer selv når hun vil ut. Det er vel den første individuelle avgjørelsen de tar her i livet disse små, og det er lite vi som foreldre kan gjøre for å bestemme over det. Eneste jeg kan gjøre nå er å vente.

Snart går jeg ut i perm så frem til da så er jeg på jobb, men bare ut denne uka så etter det får jeg holde meg hjemme og ettterheve litt...

Now in 3D, not on ice...

2010-01-31T14:15:00.004Z

Teknologi er en fin ting, jeg liker når den går fremover. Ny teknologi betyr nå at en kan få flotte ultralydbilder i 3D. Disse er fra før jul, men jeg har ikke kommet så langt at jeg har lagt dem ut enda. Vi fikk også noen flotte videoer, men dere får nøye dere med bildene her på bloggen min...

Klumpen min.

2009-10-09T15:54:00.004Z

Vi fant plutselig ut en dag at det var en klump i magen min. Den har nå klart å bli 18 uker gammel og på tirsdag skal vi gå å se på den en gang til på KK på Haukeland. Her er et bilde av klumpen når den var 12 uker.

Jeg har funnet ut at denne må være en kakemons for hver gang jeg spiser noe med sukker så begynner den å romstere i magen. Jeg kaller den fremdeles for den for vi har ikke fått sett hva det er enda, men håper vi får vite noe mer på tirsdag. For de som er dårlig i matte eller ikke vet hvordan dette funker så blir den altså født i mars neste år.

Den virker fremdeles.

2009-10-09T15:53:00.001Z

Jeg måtte nesten sjekke nå at den fremdeles var oppe å gikk siden jeg ikke har skrevet her på evigheter... Vel den virker...

Today is the day.

2008-10-15T08:28:00.000Z

Today is the day we've been waiting a long time for. Today is the day when we get our new house.
Today at 17:30 we will be handed over the keys and the house is finally ours.
This means that 2,1 million NOK has now been paid to the previous owner, and now we have to pay it back:(

Well at least we have a nice house to sit around in when we don't have any money to go out (not that we do so much of that anyway).

Brothers and sisters.

2008-10-08T12:10:00.000Z

This week we have a brother visiting. He has vacation from school and needs a place to stay while his parents are away, so we have taken him in for the week.

Next week my sister will be visiting to help us move our furniture.

I wonder when my boyfriend's mother will visit us to see our new home, I think it
won't be long...

As you can see we get a lot of visitors, and we won't be lonely in a long while.

One week to go.

2008-10-08T12:09:00.001Z

We were very lucky that the exchange date was changed, and the we will be able to move into our
new house a week earlier. This means that it is now only a week to go before we get the keys to our new house. We are of course looking really forward to be able to view our house for the second time in our life, and to just stand there and think that we now own this and we can do whatever we want with it.

The weekend after the exchanging of the keys we get visitors from the south, my sister and her girlfriend to be more exact. They are going to help us move all our furniture.
That means that by the end of next week we will have a new home!

Playing the waiting game...

2008-09-08T13:13:00.002Z

These days I'm playing the waiting game, counting down to October 21st. What happens that day, well that day we get the keys to our new house and are able to move into it.

Until that day, I can just sit and wait and dream of the day I will move into my very own house with my very own things...

Old classmates.

2008-09-08T13:07:00.002Z

I was @home this weekend for a reunion of my junior high school classes of 98. There was a lot of people who turned up, not all of who I was able to remember, but some of them were very familiar to me.

It was especially nice to see a few of the best friends i had in my class those years I went there, you know who you are, we talked and talked about everything, as we had not seen each other for almost ten years more or less.

It was real fun, and I hope to see some of you in a more intimate setting in a not so far future...

Pictures of our new house.

2008-08-26T14:52:00.010+01:00

Here are some pictures of our new house.

Our House in the Middle of our Street!

2008-08-21T16:06:00.003+01:00

If you would like to know we have just now today bought our very own house, if you would like to take a look please look here. Did you like it?

We are looking forward to move into the house but we have to wait a few months because the owner has to move out first. But we hope to move in late October beginning of November.

This story will continue throughout the big move.

Buying houses.

2008-08-14T13:43:00.002+01:00

It's not easy buying a house. Everything is so expensive, and everyone has more money than you. We have been looking at a few houses in our price range, well a terrace house to be precise.

We tried to put an offer in on one of them but we were out bid by another person so we didn't get it :(

Now we have to look for another one to put an offer in on, that means we are still on the hunt for our perfect home...

Looking for new home.

2008-08-01T11:56:00.002+01:00

After being approved for a mortgage we are now looking for a place of our own to buy. So now we have started searching high and low for the perfect place to spend our future in, or at least a few years. Next week we will try to going around looking at some houses, or apartments which we might consider buying. Maybe just maybe we'll find one that we will put in an offer on...

This story will of course be continued and updated throughout the search...

Tea.

2008-07-28T12:51:00.002+01:00

Tea is a wonderful thing. Think about it, you put some leaves in warm water and then it becomes something drinkable...

You also have infusions though, which is tea not made by the tea plant but by other things like fruits and stuff.

I have a favorite tea and that is green tea, they come in multiple variations of course, but since I have not tasted all of them, I have no idea which one is the ultimate one. i think most of the green teas have something to offer when it comes to taste, so I leave it up to you to tell me which one is the ultimate. Also I quite like Rooibos, the read African tea, if you haven't tried it, them you should try it one day.

I'll leave now with the request that you tell me which is your favorite tea...

Doctor Who season 4 ep 12 + 13.

This time they want to make a bomb that will destroy everything by that i mean everything as this bomb dissolves atoms.

In order to make the bomb they have to move 27 planets including earth, therefore the earth suddenly finds itself in a different place in the universe surrounded by strange planets. To help find the Doctor Martha, Rose, Torchwood and Sarah Jane joins forces. This is a multiple cameo episode you might say.

The Doctor is located, almost killed, Donna makes a new Doctor from his severed hand, and becomes a Doctor herself. What a mess, bur with three working doctors they manage to save the day and kill all Daleks.

Rose has to go back to her own dimension but she gets to keep the new Doctor, who is mostly human after all.

Donna gets her memory wiped before she burns up inside, and then she has to go home.

Doctor Who season 4 ep 11.

2008-07-07T13:16:00.002+01:00

Turn left turn left for GOODNESS sake turn left. Or everything will be ruined...

Donna goes to see a psychic finds herself in a situation which have previously happened and makes a right turn in a junction. This makes her never meet up with the Doctor and all what has happen will never have happened. So now what.

Everywhere she goes people keep staring at her back like she has got something there. Then she meets Rose Tyler and she shows Donna what is hanging on her back. She is able to remove this, but the damage has already been done, so she is sent back to fix it so that she turn left in the junction instead of right... Rose tells her that the darkness is coming, but Donna does not understand what she means.

Doctor Who season 4 ep 10.

2008-07-07T13:11:00.002+01:00

Who wants a train to midnight rather than a midnight train? Who you say, the Doctor oh that's right he did that in this episode. Train brakes down a strange monster comes on board takes over a woman's body and starts copying everything they say...

Later the monster takes over the Doctor's body generic woman saves the day killing the monster. We never get to know what the thing was, or if it was really bad... We'll never know.

Doctor Who season 4 ep 8 + 9.

2008-07-07T13:04:00.002+01:00

Bad bad shadow creatures who sneak up on you form the back and eat you alive...

These are the monsters in these two episodes, but the episodes are about more than that, it's about a living machine made up of a living girls mind. Who else have got a vivid imagination than children, she is able to save literally save thousands of people and create a world for them. Hmm Matrix anyone...

Anyway the Doctor saves the day and brings the people back to the real world Neo, no not him he's not in this one I think.

Meets a girl which knows him from the future, she nearly dies, but the Doctor saves her in the girlie computer.

Doctor Who season 4 ep 7.

2008-07-07T13:00:00.003+01:00

This is called the Unicorn and the Wasp. This is a real Agatha Christie mystery as they actually meet Agatha Christie. The whole story develops like one of here mysteries, when they try to figure out who or what killed the people who are being murdered.

Who did it then.... A mad half wasp half human, beat that Poirot.

Back to work :(

2008-07-07T12:42:00.002+01:00

Vacation this year is over for my part, two weeks gone by so fast i can't really believe it.

We've done some nice thing during the vacation thought. The first week we were, as I said before, visiting the summer house with the little brother, who is nearly 17 by the way. Time went by reading and playing badminton. The last weekend there Anitra and Thomas visited us and stayed for the weekend. We also went to a little place called Vikebygd, which is the home of Norway's oldest bakery were they serve some mean buns. Since Per Christian and Marianne were visiting Haugesund at the same time as us, they came to our barbecue party on the Saturday that weekend.

Sunday we had to drive back home to Bergen as Bjørn Even only had one week vacation. The little brother named Andreas had to come with us as we were to look after him for two weeks. We tried to do fun stuff while he was here visiting, the must fun we had was at Vannkanten
a waterworld in the outskirts of Bergen with, apparently, thrilling flumes. I'm not made for flumes so I just stood there watching Bjørn Even and Andreas, as one of the flumes have a kind of doughnut were spectators can watch you go round and round. The maximum they were able to do though was two rounds.

There you have it, my vacation in two short sections.

Soon vacation!

2008-06-20T11:58:00.002+01:00

Today is my last day of work before a two weeks vacation. The first week we will be going to the Wahlstrøm's family country house, for a nice relaxation together with Bjørn Even's little brother. Next weekend we will also be joined by two of our friends who will be staying for the weekend.

The next week we will be at home on the mountain where we live, we will take the little brother with us though, but only I will have time of as Bjørn Even only have one week vacation.

I'm looking forward to the next two weeks.

Spread Firefox!

2008-06-17T08:14:00.002+01:00

Today is the day you can help set a world record. The Mozilla Foundation would like you to download Firefox today, and maybe make Firefox the most downloaded software in 24 hours in the history of the Internet, or something like that.

Today is the download day, and we who live in Europe should begin our downloads at 16:30 Paris time. And we should be done by 21:00.

Everybody please go home and download.

Bring your Fedoras...

2008-05-22T12:41:00.002Z

Today is the premier of the new Indiana Jones film. It's been a while since the last film, and the visual effects have med quite a progress since the 80's.

George Lucas is no stranger to visual effects, and uses them in a manner which pleases us who like the adventure genre. Therefore we look forward to this event this evening, and hopefully the film will not disappoint us.

Happy 17. May!

2008-05-16T17:25:00.002Z

Tomorrow we celebrate our independence day. If you would like to read more about it you can do so here.

In regards to that I would like to wish you all a happy 17. May! Hopefully the weather will be nice this year...

Doctor Who s4 ep 5 + 6.

2008-05-16T17:13:00.002Z

Episode 5 was the continuation from episode 4. Here we get to see what happens when the gas from the Atmos is released. We also get to know why the Sonatrans want to release the gas into our atmosphere. What they want to do is in fact to make the earth into a cloning planet. The Sonatrans reproduced by cloning you see. To save the earth the Doctor, or in this case the young man which I do not remember the name of, has to blow up the entire gas-field, and the Sonatrans.

Episode 6 was quite different, here we get to see the Doctor reproduce. No not like that you pervert, his DNA gets collected and a daughter is created from that DNA. All this takes place on a planet which is inhabitable, but the people sent there is supposed to populate it. First they have to make the planet inhabitable, but instead of doing that the two different species sent to the planet are fighting a war. The Doctor finds the gadget that will make the planet hospitable, and the two species stop fighting. His new daughter gets killed in the end, but as a Timelady she is able to regenerate, but only after the Doctor is gone. He never gets to see his daughter regenerate...

Weekend.

2008-04-28T13:19:00.000Z

This weekend we had visitors from the big city, also known as Oslo, which is the biggest city in Norway.

As proper tourists we went to see the Picasso exhibit in the Bergen Art Museum, together with some lovely paintings mainly from the romantic period.

We also had fun making our own sushi for dinner which we ate with utter most pleasure.
Guitar Hero on PS3 is a fun game to play with all of your friend, so we played it till our arms hurt,
and the next day we checked out Wii Fit.

All in all an eventful weekend.

Doctor Who season 4 ep 3 + 4.

2008-04-28T13:17:00.000Z

Episode 3 was quite an emotional episode i think. It was called "the planet of the Ood", and is about the Ood,
where they come from and how they work.
We all know the Ood from season 2 and how they live to serve humans as some kind of slaves.
In those two episodes we are led to believe that the Ood likes to be kept as slaves for humans.

In this episode though we get to see how the humans "make" the Ood to become slaves.
The humans remove the Ood's brain and replace it with the lighting orb thingy.
This causes the Ood to rebel, because they want to be free, and not be slaves any more.
The Doctor of course saves them, and they are very grateful.

Episode 4 was number one of at least two episodes. In this we get to see Martha again as she calls the Doctor for help.
There are some nasty aliens lurking about making it difficult for the human race.
This time they make really evil Sat-Navs for all the cars in the world, and they also
equip the cars with a zero-emission unit, which later reveals to let out toxic gas rather than clean it from the cars.
What it all means we'll get to know in the next episode.

Doctor Who season 4 ep 1 + 2.

2008-04-14T13:29:00.003Z

The Doctor is back to heal our mental wounds which we got by having to wait for so long for a new season.

Episode one features Donna, and her struggle to find the Doctor and join him again on his travels.
We get to see her family, and her miserable life that she wants to get away from.
This episode also features the cutes monsters in science fiction history, at least I think so.
The monster, if you can call it that, is a bunch of babies made by people's fat, cute little pink babies.
The real monster is the nanny who gives people a drug which creates the babies.
Well Donna finds the Doctor, and she is able to reenlist on the TARDIS crew.

Episode 2 is set in Pompeii, the day before volcano day. There lurks a creepy magma monster inside Vesuvius, that
wants to take over the world. It uses the local people to help predict the future or something.
The Doctor stops the monster from taking over the world, by making the volcano erupt, killing over 20000 people.
He's not happy about that. Donna makes him save a few of the people, namely the family they got to know while staying there.
This was the only way she could live with herself after the incident.

Torchwood finale.

2008-04-14T13:29:00.001Z

Bad bad brother...
Jack's brother can really hold a grudge, he sends people through time to mess up Jack's life
all to get even with him.
He blames Jack for being taken prisoner by some nasty aliens, and being tortured for years.
Now he wants to get even with him, by hurting him.
since Jack cant die, his brother has to be inventive, and he hurts Jack in the only way he can,
namely by hurting his friends.

Two of the characters dies in this episode, Owen and Toshiko. They will be missed.

Saturday is the day.

2008-04-03T13:34:00.002Z

When it all happens. What you ask me...? Well you should know, shouldn't you.

I'm of course talking about Doctor Who the new season. Season 4 is here, with lots of new episodes for us to watch.

I'm looking forward to that!

Torchwood s2 ep 10, 11 and 12.

2008-04-03T13:31:00.002Z

Whoa this was a lot of episodes into one simple little blog post.

Anyway, I'll start with number 10. This episode was all about freaky carnies which lives on film.
It's been a long time since traveling carnivals were popular and the thing to see.
Movie theaters you might say, killed them.

These particular carnies were caught on tape literally, which means they now live on old movies made of them when
movies were young. And when these old movies are being run again the people on them come to life,
and starts stealing peoples last breaths.

Weird I know, and many people die one gets saved. End of story.

11, Gwen gets caught up in a missing persons case, and she finds out that a lot of people had gone missing during
rift-activity. She finds out that the rift goes both ways, which means that not only do things fall down to earth,
and weird aliens get stuck on earth. No people from earth gets sucked into the rift and ends up on other planets.

With a little help from Torchwood they find their way back to earth,
but is so damaged they can never live a normal life again.

Gwen gets a little upset about that.

Episode 12 was quite interesting because it showed the members lives before joining Torchwood.
Jack has for example been with Torchwood since well a long long time ago.

Toshiko actually stole some secret government documents to save her mother's life.
Jack recruited her because she was able to build an advanced alien object from just looking at the plans,
and the plans were not even accurate.

Ianto used to work for London Torchwood until the Canary Warf incident.
After that he went to Cardiff to plead Jack for a job. After a little persuasion he gets it.

Owen had a fiancé that died from an alien attack, and Jack recruits Owen after that,
because he needs a medic on the team.

By the way someone tries to bomb them...

Easter holiday!

2008-03-26T15:02:00.002Z

I've just come home from a lovely Easter holiday in the country side. Bjørn Even's parents have a summer house in the country side close to the lovely Norwegian shores, or something like that.

Anyway I used the time to relax and do nothing more than drink coffee and read books, end of story.

Oh by the way, did I mention that we kind of bumped into a three with our car on our way home. we now have a shortage of a side view mirror and a nice dent in our door. Sweet. I have to mention that the road was very slippery because of heavy snowfall, that now had begun to melt, and we slid off the asphalt and hit a three.

Torchwood s2 ep 9.

2008-03-26T15:01:00.000Z

This was one of the funniest episodes I've seen in the series. It starts with Gwen being bit by an alien the day before her marriage to Rhys.
When she wakes up the next day she is heavily pregnant, I mean 9 months pregnant. This of course makes Rhys very, very upset, and they have to find out a way to explain this to their parents. Their main concern is the disappointment of their parents when they find out they are not going to be grandparents after all...

After a while they find out what kind of alien she is pregnant with and that this particular kind of alien tend to kill it's hosts.
Then the race to save Gwen is in full swing. Did I mention that this alien is a shape shifter, witch leads to it changing into Rhys' mother and stuff.
Lovely wedding by the way...

In the end the alien get killed Gwen and Rhys gets married, the wedding party gets drugs that make them forget everything. Happy ending.

Momsvedtaket og TG.

2008-03-26T14:51:00.001Z

Av og til blir jeg sint, og dette er en av de gangene jeg ble veldig sint. Jeg leste nemlig at The Gathering blir krevd for 3 års moms fordi noen ikke synes at dataspill er kultur. dette er stikk i strid med det regeringen netopp har gått ut og hevdet.

Det som skjer da er at TG kanskje må legges ned og ikke kan arrangeres flere ganger, det er dette som gjør meg sint.
Det virker som om alt for ungdom som ikke har med idrett å gjøre skal tas knekken på. Alle de ungdommer som ikke er interresert i idrett er liksom ikke noe å ta vare på, ikke verdt å lage gode arrangementer for.
TG har vært en institusjon siden 1992 og et bra sted for kreative ungdom som er interresert i data kan møtes og omgåes.
Dette kan vi visst ikke ha noe av...

Nei takke meg til nå er jeg lei, der sitter folk og klager over at ungsom ikke finner på ting og så skal de apåtil ødelegge for de som ønsker å finne på noe kjekt.

FY skamme seg skal de ha!

Spring is in the air...

2008-03-03T14:05:00.004Z

Or is it...? Who knows.

During the weekend I did see evidence of both, I saw lovely sun, but also snow.
I saw flowers, but also naked branches.
It is now March and I hope that, regardless of anything else, spring will come soon.

Rain or snow or for that matter hail, it is inevitable spring will be here shortly, or at least I hope so.

Have a lovely March, which is one of the spring months.

The death of Owen Harper.

2008-03-03T14:02:00.000Z

Torchwood episode 7 and 8 is about the death of Owen and how he is reanimated, and how he learns to cope with being an undead.
In episode 7 he gets shot and afterwards he dies from the injuries. Jack runs around trying to find a missing resurrection glow
to try to resurrect Owen. He finds it and uses it on Owen, but it comes with a price.
Together with new life, Owen brings death with him, I mean Really Death. The Grim Reaper starts making trouble in the nearest hospital
as he only need 12 souls to raise hell on earth.
Luckily Owen manages to stop him before it goes to far.

Owen is still stuck in limbo and is now a walking dead. Episode 8 is about how Owen tries to cope with the fact that
everything has now change in shall we say his "life". He is no longer able to do the things he liked to do most like
go out drinking. He thinks that he is going to go mad, until he at the end of the episode finds a reason to keep going.
He now sees that he can be a productive member of the staff even though he is technically dead.

Hopefully everything will work out for Owen.

Torchwood s2 ep 4,5,6.

2008-02-18T12:45:00.002Z

This weekend I had three episodes of Torchwood waiting for me, lucky me.
I will now comment on all of the episodes I watched on Sunday.

Episode 4 called Meat by the way, was about human greed, and what humans will do to make a lot of money.
In this episode a group of people discover an alien which grows continually, and in a way they find it natural to
carve up this alien when it is still alive and sell its body for meat.
The alien is in agony of course, because it's being eaten alive sort of.
Human nature is cruel you might say.
In this episode Ryhs also finds out exactly, what Gwen does for a living, and he also gets shot while trying to help Torchwood.
Quite a interesting episode.

Episode 5 was a quite interesting episode, with an alien that tampers with peoples memories.
Our memories, we think, is the only thing no one can take away from us.
Therefore it scary to think about someone, or something altering our memories and maybe deleting some of them.
In this episode Gwen, when her memory is tampered with, forgets who Rhys is. She is unable to remember her own fiancé.
What if you forgot something so important in your life...
It's like welcome to the world of Alzheimer's.
I kind of liked this episode, because it was so absurd, hope no one ever alter my memories.

Episode 6 we get to see Martha Jones again, and she gets into trouble with scary alien bugs.
I wonder where the doctor was when she got into trouble, he should have been there to help her.
But alas I have to wait just a few more months to see the doctor again in brand new episodes.
Until then I have to make do with reruns of Doctor Who...
The episode was all right, nice to see Martha again.

There is a similarity between these episodes, as they all deal with human nature, and human minds.
how we work and how far we are willing to go to make money or gain fame or something like that.

Today a special day!

2008-02-14T15:18:00.001Z

Today is a day not quite like all the other days.
Today is a day to celebrate love and to celebrate each other.
Today is no other than Valentine's day.

Happy Valentine's everybody!

Daffodils.

2008-02-13T12:55:00.000Z

Dear daffodil, nothing says spring like your beautiful yellow colour.
Daffodil oh daffodil won't you come out and play soon?
I really miss you, as I have not seen you since last spring.
Please oh please dear daffodil show yourself.
You are the most beautiful flower I know.

Posts on my blog.

2008-02-05T15:02:00.000Z

I wonder if I'll write more posts this year then i did in 2007. If I'm going to make the magic number I have to write more than 84 posts...

Maybe they will not all be interesting, but they will all be here anyway.

Torchwood s2 episode 2 +3.

2008-02-05T14:53:00.000Z

As I didn't watch episode 2 the week it came out i had to watch it together with episode 3, which I did this weekend.

These two episodes were more like the episodes in the last season than episode 1, I think. Episode 2 was a bit creepy with the implant and everything, what if you found out that you actually were an alien...

I think episode 3 was a bit sad, with poor Toshiko having to send the person she loved to his death and all. I do hope that she will finally find someone to love.

Do you have any comments about Torchwood, then please leave your thoughts in a comment.

Torchwood again.

Last Friday I watched the latest episode of Torchwood, the first in season 2. It was really an action packed episode, and Spike(from Buffy) also appeared as old co-worker of Jack. Although he disappear at the end of the episode, I´m sure he will return... Of course I´ve seen the trailer so I know he will.

Anyway, I look forward to see the latest episode maybe today.

Flat tyre.

2008-01-25T15:22:00.000Z

Sweet...! Our tyre went flat today in the middle of the city while we picked up our loudspeakers.
That was kind of annoying when we were standing there like two idiots looking at our flat tyre, but as we are members of the Norwegian AAA called NAF we were able to call them to come help us.

As we are waiting for our new sofa to be delivered today, I had to take the bus home to wait for the sofa leaving Bjørn Even waiting for NAF. Hopefully he´ll be home soon with a tyre that is not flat...

Torchwood s2!

2008-01-18T14:10:00.000Z

By the way Torchwood season 2 has started. I've not had the opportunity to see the episode yet, but if I'm lucky we'll see it today.

If you're lucky I will tell you all about it...

Merry Christmas and happy new year and all that.

2008-01-18T14:00:00.000Z

Forgot to say merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you, so I'll just say it now.

The road after Object orientation.

2008-01-18T13:56:00.000Z

Isn't it funny how we always think we have found the best solutions to solving problems or doing things.
In the next second though someone has found a better way to do exactly the same things.

This is true for object orientation in database and programming as well.
When it comes to database we recently had relational database before object relational database became popular.
Now it's all about object orientation wherever we look.

Everybody is in on the notion that this is the best solution for programming and making databases.
I'm pretty sure that they though the same thing before.

This makes me wonder what will come next, I mean after people are bored with object orientation...

Wii big!

2007-09-13T18:00:00.000Z

Wii is bigger than anyone else, when it comes to sales figures that is. 9 million Wii's are sold and only 8,9 million Xbox 360, and 3,7 million PS3's.

Just thought you'd like to know…

I've got Wii, yeah wii too!

My sister.

2007-08-21T07:16:00.000Z

My sister visited us this weekend, and when she was here we had to find something cool to do.
We settled on visiting the "Vitensenteret" also known as "Bergen Science Center".

It was quite nice, but it could have been better. A lot of the exhibits were out of order, and I
don't think that was optimal because the center is brand new and we were there on a Saturday.

My sister said she thought it was educational, and that she learned quite a lot form the exhibit.
Although I think it's more suited for children rather than adults, my sister is 18 if you didn't know.

We also watched a lot o "Family Guy"!

Oslo.

2007-08-20T14:33:00.000Z

We went to Oslo the other weekend to visit our friends Per Christian & Marianne and Joakim & Mariann. We had never visited Joakim since he moved to Oslo, and Per Christian's new apartment.

On Friday when we arrived we had a nice barbecue party with all the people above, that was quite lovely.

Saturday we went around town looking at what Oslo had to offer, including Per Christians office. We visited a few coffee bars and the nicest little French boutique you could imagine. We had dinner at a nice restaurant serving Mexican food, afterwards we had drinks at Joakim's.

Sunday we visited one of the few Coca Cola coffee bars in the world called "Far Coast", and we also visited the Fram museum at Bygdøy.

Long time no see!

2007-08-20T14:30:00.000Z

I'm back! those of you who read my blog on a regular basis has probably given up on me by now. Well I'll try to write more regularly from now on.

Maybe I'll write something worth reading…

Vacation.

2007-07-24T06:35:00.000Z

I've just had my weeks vacation now. In that week we went to Bjørn Even's parent's country house to babysit his little brother.

When we were there we had the opportunity to see his parent's new apartment, and we wanted to barricade it and move in there. It was really large and air, with big windows and a patio. On the patio you could sit and enjoy the view...

The weather wasn't too nice though, but with satellite TV you could at least watch some nice shows on TV.

Now I'm home again, and going to work as usual...

Funny car.

2007-07-06T11:24:00.000Z

Today I got to ride in a very funny little car. My workplace have a few cars that you can borrow if you have to go somewhere to do something. And I had to be somewhere to change a toner in a printer, or rather I had to accompany the person whose job is is to change the toners.

The only car available was the little funny electric car. It is very small and red, and looks more like a toy than a car. One funny thing is that you have to push a button to be able to reverse the car, it's like playing PlayStation or something. The car is by the way called Buddy, like anyone has ever heard of that manufacturer...

Coffee.

2007-06-16T16:14:00.000Z

Today we received a new load of quality coffee in the mail. Bjørn Even went online to find some good coffee we could use with our espresso machine. Now we have two kg good coffee so if you'd like to try some just give us a call, and we'd gladly make some for you. This requires that you don't live to far away of course as you would have to come for a visit in order to taste the coffee. I've heard of take away, but not mail away, if you catch my drift. Although our coffee came in the mail, but that was beans and not ready made coffee.

The bottom line is that I love coffee, and we have a lot of it to consume.

Confusion.

2007-06-09T20:34:00.000Z

I'm quite confused these days. The reason for this is that in my new job a use a computer with Windows, and at home a use Mac. This may not seem like a reason for confusion, and of course it's not that different, but you do use different keys on the keyboard for different things. So when I tried to copy paste just now, I had a hard time hitting the right keys.

Other then that I don't really think it's a problem, other then I do prefer my home computer before the one at work. Who doesn't you might ask yourself, and I do quite agree. Everyone prefer the computer at home which give you a good feeling when you use it to surf and play games.

Hail to the home computer, may you live, not forever but rather, may you not crash today

Analytics.

2007-06-09T20:28:00.000Z

Google has made a lot of changes to their analytics tool. This enables me to see how many people visit my blog every day, and what they look at. I can also see where my visitors comes from, but this I've been able to do all along.

I think it's quite fun to see who visits my blog, as it's kind of like you are visiting my home. My blog will contain portions of my life.

I hope that people will continue to visit my blog.

Work.

2007-06-05T21:33:00.000Z

All work and no play makes Inger Marie a dull girl. Now that I'm a working girl(no not that kind), I can look forward to the weekends like the rest of the working crowd.

Up early and to bed early, this is my life now… Wish me luck!

First day.

2007-06-03T21:33:00.000Z

Friday I had my first day in my new job, and on Monday I will have my second. It's nice, but weird to begin in a new job. I hope I will have a good time in my new job…

Bloody big flies.

2007-05-31T20:02:00.000Z

Why oh why are you here, and where oh where did you come from, you bloody big flies.
That is what I have been wondering about today…

I's finally here!

2007-05-30T16:58:00.000Z

The little wonder I've been waiting for arrived in the post today. This little wonder's name is IRiver s10, and is a little Mp3-player. What is nice about this Mp3-player is that is got a tiny screen. So it it mainly a Shuffle with a screen. I'm looking forward to using it, while I sit on the bus, or just go for a walk. It is very very tiny, only 42 x 29 mm. Actually the picture might be bigger than the Mp3-player.

Mobile phones.

2007-05-28T19:41:00.000Z

I was thinking about the mobile phones I've had over the years. One thing that struck me is that I have never had a Nokia mobile, although Nokia is one of the leading mobile manufacturers. The first one I had I think was a Panasonic or something like that, this was a long time ago, I think I was 15 or something. It would take a few years before I got my next one, which I think was round about when I was 18. This was a lovely Siemens, without a colour screen, would you believe it. After that, I think it was a couple of years later, I know I had moved to Bergen by then, I bought one that was on sale, I don't even remember the brand. This one I traded with my sister for a mobile she had that she didn't like. That was a Motorola, which I had for a few years, this one had a colour screen by the way. What I really wanted by this time was to be able to take photos, and send them, so I bought a Siemens CL75, but this didn't have bluetooth. This is why my boyfriend bought me a new mobile for Christmas, my current phone a Samsung E370.

This is my mobile history so far…

Happy 17. May!

2007-05-17T18:32:00.000Z

Most of you might not see the signification of this title, but I have a good reason for saying this. 17. May is as some of you might now, Norway's national day. Norwegian people like to go out in the streets and march around on that day, and we also put on our national costume called "bunad". A common misconception is that Norwegians wear their national costume all the time, the truth is that we usually only wear it on this particular day. What we celebrate is our independence from Sweden, and the writing of our constitution. Just so that you know…

I'm home.

2007-05-15T22:01:00.000Z

After a weekend with lots of happenings, I'm home again. I came home yesterday though, but I haven't been able to write before now. The confirmation was lovely, I think Andreas was really happy with the gifts. He did, amongst a lot of money, get a mobile phone the new one from Sony Erickson K810i. Guess who stood looking at it drooling… I do have enough money to buy it, it's just that I have a brand new mobile already, so I don't think it's appropriate to buy a new one.

The food was heavenly, the meat was so tender. It was leg of lamb, with nicely cooked vegetables. The dessert was something that some of you might not have tasted before namely cloudberry cream. Although it does have an English name, so it might be more common then I think. The cakes was also quite lovely. I had a hard time walking out of the premises after all that eating.

Confirmation.

2007-05-11T09:12:00.000Z

Norway has a tradition for confirmation as we have a state-religion, which is Protestantism. As Norway tries to include all kinds of people with all kinds of religions, there exist alternatives to the traditional confirmation. Bjørn Even's brother is not a Christian and consequently would not like to have a Christian confirmation. Due to this he is going to have a civil confirmation, which is a choice you have in Norway if you are not a Christian.

Both me and Bjørn Even also had a civil confirmation as we are not Christians.

Out and about.

2007-05-11T08:53:00.000Z

Today we're out and about again, we're going to my hometown Haugesund to got to Bjørn Even's brother's confirmation. This means that Bjørn Even's little brother is officially a big boy now. Confirmations means good food and cake and who doesn't like that, you tell me. So I'm looking forward to it as you might imagine.

I'm the purest of the pure.

2007-05-08T18:26:00.000Z

I took a couple of test that I found on Facebook. They were ment to show if you are evil or pure. I found that I was 32% evil and 72% pure. That's not bad is it…

***You Are 72% Pure***

Well, you're not exactly an angel - but you're pretty darn close.
But chances are, you have a couple juicy secrets deep in your closet.

How Pure Are You?
http://www.blogthings.com/howpureareyouqui

***You Are 32% Evil***

A bit of evil lurks in your heart, but you hide it well.
In some ways, you are the most dangerous kind of evil.

How Evil Are You?
http://www.blogthings.com/howevilareyouquiz/

Now you can find out for yourself how evil or pure you are.

Tests.

2007-05-04T14:04:00.000Z

I took some tests that I found on Facebook and I would like to show you the results.

If I were in Family Guy, I would be Brian

http://www.brainfall.com/test1...

You are Brian. You are smart, sophisticated, and somewhat of an alcoholic.
I agree with some of it, but I'm really not alcoholic…

If I were in Heroes, I would be Hiro

http://www.brainfall.com/test4...

You are Hiro. You are everyones favorite Japanese tourist. Your time is well-managed and you make sure things get done. On top of that, the girls always want a second chance with you.
I like this, because he is one of my favorite heroes in Heroes.

My Major Should Be Computer Science

http://www.brainfall.com/test5...

Your major should be Computer Science. You like nothing more than spending long nights with friends in the computer lab... which is a good thing since that's exactly how you'll spend the next couple years. I'm glad I chose the right education for me them…

I've also posted the links for the tests if you would like to do them yourselves.

Hot Chocolate!

2007-05-04T13:55:00.000Z

I kind of like hot chocolate, well who doesn't. That is why I have found my favorite place in Bergen to buy and drink a lovely hot chocolate. This little cafe lies a little bit hidden on the ground floor of Galleriet(a shopping mall) and it's called Augustin's kaffe lade or something like that. Unlike some of the other cafes this cafe makes its hot chocolate with real chocolate and not syrup. This makes the hot chocolate taste wonderful… If you're ever in Bergen I would recommend this cafe and the hot chocolate there.

Nice weather...

2007-05-02T12:28:00.000Z

Surprise surprise, there has been lovely weather outside for quite a while now. But all I'm doing at the moment is sitting inside watching television. When you live in a town like Bergen were fine weather is a rarity you tend to want to be outside every sunny moment. Although it's not possible to be outside that much, especially when you don't own a garden. So I just keep sitting here wondering if I should maybe go for a walk if I bother...

Facebook welcomes me...

2007-05-01T12:39:00.000Z

I have now added myself to Facebook. So I'm now officially one of them. Hurray to me, and go find me if you like.

Hello.

2007-04-30T09:22:00.000Z

Long time no see... I know I haven't been writing here for a long time. Sometimes you know, you just don't have anything to say.

I can update you on my life though. I have bought some new clothes, Bjørn Even helped me buy some new tops and a new pair of jeans. They're all nice, so I'm pleased. BE also bought a lot of new DVD's with that season 1-5 of Family Guy, I have now seen them all. Yesterday we started to watch the Godfather, we only saw the first one yesterday. Saturday we went to HIB to see Star Wars IV, the theater edition, there were a lot of people watching it like it was our personal movie theater.

I think that is about it, I'll write some more if I remember some more.

Wii Games.

2007-04-20T13:15:00.000Z

I've been trying to find a game to buy to play on my Wii. As of now I only have Wii Sports, and I would like to see what the controls can do in other games. The problem is that I don't like any of the games in the store, many of you would probably recommend Zelda, but I have no connection to that game, and I wouldn't like to have that. I can see that there are some Mario games waiting to hit the market, but that is not until November this year... If any of you have a recommendation for me, don't hesitate to tell me.

Update.

2007-04-18T11:06:00.000Z

We went to Stavanger this weekend to go to a wedding-party. Bjørn Even's cousin had been married for nearly six months though, but she wanted to have the party now. When we were in Stavanger we were able to see Bjørn Even's brother's house, it was quite nice. He has done all the decorating himself.

My birthday was also this weekend, which meant I had travel from Stavanger to Bergen on my birthday, if you didn't know I'm now 25 years old. BE gave me a nice Pilgrim necklace, and a lovely scarf/shawl.

Yesterday I bought myself some new shoes, they're quite nice I think.

This was my weekend.

New suitcase.

2007-04-11T18:28:00.000Z

My boyfriend bought me a new suitcase today, a lovely little red one. My birthday is coming up so he wanted to find something to buy me, and we are going to Stavanger this weekend. That is why I needed a new suitcase to pack my things in, and now I got one...

Doctor Who episodes.

2007-04-10T11:58:00.000Z

I haven't written about the new episodes yet, so I think I have to do that now. The first episode "Smith and Jones" was very extravagant, with a lot of special effects and stuff. It was a good intro for the new character Martha Jones, with some nasty alien police figures. I liked the second episode better "The Shakespeare Code", it was obviously set in 1599 in England. It had some spooky witches and stuff. What I really liked was the sets, they were really fantastic, I liked the story too of course. The new character Martha has really started to grow on me, partly because she seems a lot smarter than Rose, I like to see smart women on TV and not only dumb blonds. Goo Martha. All in all it has been a good start for the new season, I cant wait for the rest of it...

Wow!

2007-04-10T11:46:00.000Z

You wouldn't believe how many people who's been visiting my blog during the Easter holiday. I have never seen so many dots on the map in Google Analytics. I was just so amazed to see how many people who has been reading what I have been writing. I do hope that some of the people will return to read more of my blog posts.

Anyway, I hope you all have a nice day.

Happy Easter!

2007-04-08T22:08:00.001Z

Happy Easter everyone! Easter is almost over, but I'd like to wish you a happy Easter anyway. My sister has been visiting the last few days, and we played the Wii quite a lot, until our arms hurt. We had quite a lovely time. Yesterday we had leg of lamb for dinner, that my boyfriend made, it was absolutely delicious. He also made cake for dessert with lemon mousse, mMm lovely.

Because we spent the Easter at home we had to make our own good Easter food, and we are not through yet, we have something planned for tomorrow as well.

We have also been eating a lot of candy and other snacks so we feel quite bloated at the moment. Have a lovely evening.

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!

2007-04-04T09:11:00.000Z

Guess what I have bought myself... Well you guessed it a Nintendo Wii. We spent all day yesterday playing Wii Sports, I've never been this good at sports as I am when I play Wii Sports. By the way it is so much fun, I recommend everybody to buy a Wii. It's decent exercise too, or Wiisercise as they call it.

Back to normal.

2007-04-02T09:22:00.000Z

Finally I think everything is back to normal concerning my computer. You know that it died a little while ago, but now I've got a new hard disk, and I have also got all my preferences in order, and just right now I fixed my desktop and screen saver. Yet again I can have everything just the way I like it, which means I can actually find the things I'm looking for, and of course I feel at home again. Brilliant!

Doctor Who.

2007-04-01T16:35:00.000Z

Because it is Doctor Who weekend this weekend I would like to show you a picture of the Doctor Who action figure I bought in London. I have not seen the new episode yet, but I have downloaded it... I have also downloaded the Weakest link Doctor Who special.

I think I will watch them later today. Hurray... !!

Pictures of glasses.

2007-03-29T13:27:00.000Z

I tried to take photos of me with my new glasses. I hope they give a good representation of me with glasses on. I do look a bit intense on the photos though. If you are wondering, I'm sitting on, or beside the desk where I write my master's thesis at the moment.

New Glasses!

2007-03-28T17:26:00.000Z

My new glasses are here! They are D&G if you wanted to know. I have also cut my hair and shopped some new clothes, so I'm quite new today.

It's nice to have a part time job...

Nice!

2007-03-27T13:26:00.000Z

Do badgers badger badgers? No dogs dog dogs. Really? Yes, and Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

If you think I have gone completely bonkers by now I can assure you I have not. These are in fact complete and grammatically correct sentences. If you doubt me you can see it all on Wikipedia.

Have fun everyone.

Hurray!!

2007-03-25T17:34:00.000Z

Hurray it works again. My laptop if you didn't understand that. Now I can yet again do the things I used to do with my laptop. Like writing on my blog as you see. MmM. Lovely weekend. relaxing and stuff.

See you later alligator!

Entertainment.

2007-03-20T14:21:00.000Z

There is different kinds of entertainment. This is one of them, or so I've been told.

Have fun.

Taking Sexy Back.

2007-03-20T12:56:00.000Z

Due to the feminist movement in modern society, women have become somewhat androgynous. Especially career women, it seems like you must either be a bimbo girl who only thinks about hair and makeup, or you have to be a career pursuing woman who only thinks about status and money.

I think it's about time to take sexy back, and be allowed to be a little of both. Both brains and looks. I am an educated woman, but I still like to put my sexy on. I'd like to wear sexy clothes, and fix my hair and stuff.

The feminist movement should be about allowing one self to celebrate our feminine side, to be able to be a little girlish sometimes. We really have to take sexy back.

Death and destruction...

2007-03-18T22:23:00.000Z

My hard disk died today, may it rest in peace... This means that my laptop is currently not operative, and I don't like that. Luckily for me I have backed up of my master's thesis so I have not lost that. What I have lost though is all the things you don't really back up, like my screen saver, desktop photos, bookmarks and things like that. Of course I lost all my preferences which I will use a long time putting together again. I just hate doing it all over again, it just suck...

I had just been grading some papers for my students, and of course I did not back that up, so I lost that and I have to do it all over again, bloody h...

I have ordered a new hard disk so it will arrive in the post in a few days, and then my laptop will be operative again.

Jobs.

2007-03-11T20:29:00.000Z

My boyfriend has just got himself a full time job for three months. Thar equals a lot of money, so now he thinks about what he wants to do with the money he's going to get....

Anyway, I want to congratulate him on the job.

Buying new glasses.

2007-03-11T20:24:00.000Z

I've planned to buy some new glasses when I get paid. I really want to buy some designer glasses, but it is very difficult to make up my mind about witch one I want. I think I need to visit all the shops present in Bergen to see what they got before I make up my mind.... Maybe I but some Prada, or maybe Versace.... I did look at some nice Björn Borg's though. Well if you see me in the near future maybe I have some new glasses on by then.

Childhood toys.

2007-03-06T21:35:00.000Z

When I was a little girl int he 80's approximately I had some toys that I really loved. I have though about them in later days because I have been unable to find them in the stores and I had no idea what they were called.

When I was in London we visited Hamleys you know the five-storey toy store. When we were leaving I caught a glimpse of the window exhibition and there I saw them... There they were my little friends from my childhood. You might remember them if you are about my age since they were popular during the 80's they are called "The Sylvanian families". I found they were Japanese, I could not guess that from the name, they don't sound like Pokemon or Tamagotchi which are other toys from Japan. If you would like to buy some you could always visit Hamleys online they do ship all over the world.

The waiting is almost over....

2007-03-06T21:29:00.000Z

The waiting is almost over he is going to be on TV. Who is going to be on TV? Yes exactly Who. Who do you say? The Doctor of course Doctor Who you know. The date is 31. March...

I'm looking forward to that you might believe...

Life...

2007-03-01T22:54:00.000Z

What is life..? you and I and everybody keep wondering about this issue. It's not an easy question, and I will not answer it today, if that was what you thought. What I was going to talk about is what life is today, and just today. I must say that today it is Take away food, red wine and candy. This little mundane things can make you fell better in second, so why must life be so complicated, sometimes it's just not....

Hope you too have those little things that just make the day...

Things I forgot to mention.

2007-02-27T15:49:00.000Z

Seemed like we did a lot in three days right? But it was actually not everything, I forgot to mention a few thing. One thing I forgot to mention the trip to Harrods. Harrods is a huge shopping center in the middle of London, where people go to see the interior, it was quite extravagant. In there we bought some cheeses like Wensleydale(Wallace and Gromit) and Manchego, we also bought some Parma ham that we nibbled on in the hotel room. We didn't leave before we caught a glimpse of the shrine for Diana and Dodi, which his father who owns the center put up.

There might be more I forgot to tell you about, in that case I will tell you about it later.

Pictures.

2007-02-26T18:58:00.000Z

Picture Sushi restaurant and of Hamleys, and of me with Big Ben.

The London trip.

2007-02-26T18:26:00.001Z

What a surprise, I will now tell you all about my London trip. The flight to London was quite alright, not anything out of the ordinary, although I had to remove my shoes in security, they beeped in the metal detector. When we arrived at Stansted we took the bus to Liverpool street station, and from there the underground to Paddington station. Our hotel was situated between Paddington and Bayswater.

The first night we ate at a nice little restaurant in Bayswater. It was a Greek restaurant, it was not fancy, but cozy, and the food was fantastic. We had Kleftiko by the way. We also strolled around Bayswater, and took in the scenery.

On Friday we went to the British Museum where we looked at some wonderful artifacts. The museum is so large, you actually need two days to cover it all. We only covered half of it ourselves, but we managed to see mummies and stuff. We also strolled around Covent Garden, and we even had lunch there, while some music students played some live classical music. Later that day, we went to Oxford street and Regent street, and of course we had to visit Hamleys, you know the five floor big toy store, mMm wonderful, I bought a toy Doctor Who there with a remote control K9. The dinner was eaten at a restaurant called The Four Seasons, I don't think it has anything to do with the hotel chain by the way, but the food was amazing, especially the Peking Duck.

On Saturday we went to see London Eye and the Houses of Parliament, with Big Ben. After that we went to have a look at St.Paul. Outside St.Paul there were a Sushi restaurant which we wanted to go to, and the reason for that was that it was the kind of sushi reaturant where the food travels around the restaurant on a conveyor belt. That means that you had to pick the meals you wanted form the belt and eat them. Later that evening we went to a Medieval Banquette, with dinner and entertainment. People dressed in clothes from the medieval times served us dinner, and entertained us. Lots of drunken loud people, with that a hen party as they call it in England(bachelorette party for those of you who didn't understand). A peculiar experience I might add.

On Sunday we had to get up early, and then I mean EARLY, we had to get up at half past five in the morning, how about that. And then we had to get into the taxi and get to Stanted. Shopped a little and took the plain home.

I'll be off then.

Good bye. See you in a while, I'm off to England and London.

Rule Britannia, Britannia rule the world.

Or at least they used to some odd years ago. Now they have to settle for ruling my thoughts. For those of you who haven't noticed, I am indeed going to Britannia. Though not by myself, I will be accompanied by my boyfriend, you know Bjørn Even, his parents and his little brother. The only one missing is his big brother, he couldn't make it due to a thing called work. Then it will be like a family trip only I will replace the big brother, same number of people though.

Rude Awakening.

I just hate it when the radio host starts yapping way too early in the morning. If that wasn't enough they even start up some lovely 90's hits. I must say, some of them give me flashbacks to the wonderful good old days when I was a teeny little girl, wanting to be a big one. Now I am a big one, and still has to listen too the same tunes over and over again...
