morghus' place

By Vegard Hjartholm.

This is just fantastic. Vegard has made a guitar made with a cigarbox foundation and some other items I’m not sure what is. The sound’s really cool. It’s been recorded with a cellphone, so that’s not the best quality, but the blues sounds awesome nonetheless! Enjoy :D

Oh, and here he is in his gothmetal glory. At least I think it’s goth metal.

So I headed off from the good ol’ valley, trekked to the big scary city of Bergen, and stayed overnight at a kind relative of mine; whom I have no idea why I don’t have more contact with, honestly, him and his wife are so awesome, kind and generous. It’s such an amazing feeling to visit them.

Then I travelled with Norwegian over the country to the eastlands, landing on Gardermoen. We landed, for some reason, at the non-domestic area, so we had to be shuttled to the domestic area. Which sucks, because here I was hoping to sneak by the tax-free in a jiffy. No such luck! I’m hoping to pick up some goodies on the way back or something for people, like Lagavulin. God that whisky is awesome.

Which reminds me I should see if I can find something for those I’ll be staying at in Israel, who seem to be slightly troubled by it all, the stay. I hope I’ll be able to soothe their minds and put them at ease that I’m not some pillaging viking…

Did I mention I had to get up really early? Like 5:45 in the morning. So when I reach my brother’s, I’m so tired and broken down. Also due to lack of sleep, I’ve been excited about this trip for weeks now… and the Strattera’s straining my sleep too. Oh, did I mention I’m on Strattera now? Anyways, I reach my brother and we have a bunch of good laughs. That guy’s the best, I can’t help but love meeting him. His girlfriend’s freakin’ awesome too! Both funny and cozy people.

Eh, anyways, early in the morning on friday, and we’re both tired. I get home to him, chat a bit. Fall asleep on the couch when he’s picking up his missus, and then we chat and crap, see a few places. Good fun. They’ve got the cutest kitten, and she sleeps on my belly when I’m taking the nap! So damn cute! Oh, did I mention my relative had a kitten too? Gah, I just melt into a puddle of “Awwwww…. ” when I’m around kittens.

And today we were at a place called Sakura Sushi here in Littleletricity, nice place, nice people, and massive portions on the plates. I never thought I’d say this, but they might’ve been too big, especially since I’m trying to lose weight. Mother of god… wow… and the tempura was amazing. Perhaps the cod was a bit boring, but it went down. They did some magical things with coconut milk and curry, holy crap that was nice. So I’ve got a new recipe to try my way to getting right!

Right, too big a portion, pig out on Ben & Jerry’s Cookie Dough + Haagen Dazs Strawberry Cheese Cake. So good! Now my brother’s playing Final Fantasy 12, english dub which sounds horrible, and it looks a bit unengaging to be honest. Dull as fuck in other words, and sounds bloody awful. Poor bastard, stuck with dubbed version. Might as well have gotten the russian dub or something, or the french one, at least he’d have gotten a few laughs out of that…

Right, I’ll go play with the kitten and chat some more with the wonderful little woman… :3

An extremely interesting, albeit short, explanation of emotions and responses in a human. For example that merely forcing yourself to smile can do things to your brain and make an experience positive. Highly recommended that you check it out.

This is just hilarious, and so is creationism… xD

Text by Michael Shermer, editor of “Sceptic Magazine” and author of “Why Darwin Matters”:

“To convey the logical absurdity of trying to squeeze the round peg of science into the square hole of religion, I penned the following scientific revision of the Genesis creation story. It is not intended as a sacrilege of the poetic beauty of Genesis; rather, it is a mere extension of what the creationists have already done to Genesis in their insistence that it be read not as mythic saga but as scientific prose. If Genesis were written in the language of modern science, it would read something like this.”

… but you would confiscate it!

Tim Kuik, managing director of Dutch anti-piracy gang BREIN, has publicly admitted that he’s currently using a Sony VAIO laptop previously confiscated from a ‘hacker’. Although he doesn’t elaborate on how he obtained the machine, it is hard not to conclude that it has been misappropriated.

This… I… gah! I HATE THOSE FUCKERS! Someone pull their asses to court for bribing and breaking the law by taking it into their own goddamn hands?

If a man takes a photo of me when I’m in a (if I ever would) cosplay costume that I made myself and then shared it on the internet without my permission, would I fucking go take everything eletronic he has and confiscate it? No, I’d get sent to prison for that, so why the fuck do these people get away with it?
