I like caffeine...

.. or more specifically : beverages containing caffeine. Coffee and cola mostly. Tea? No thanks. Tea is secreted from the scrotal area of old donkeys, and contrary to popular beliefs NOT from plants in china.
Anyways - I drink 2 cups of coffee in the morning, and usually about 1 liter cola during the day - give or take. If I don't, I get splitting headaches. Like today. I had no cola yesterday, and today I'm paying the price. I really need to cut back, but it just tastes so much better than water, and I like hot coffee as much as the next guy (yes, I'm eagerly awaiting GTA4...)

Back to the treadmill

It had to happen. I just wish it happened following a nice, warm, sunny vacation. But I guess the transition is easier this way.
- with my luck, the sun will come now.

I'm gonna have to install LUX lamps everywhere in the appartment. The upcoming vinter depression will go down in history...

Minor poop changes

I've changed the layout a little bit, and made a new header as well. I really like the homemade font - I should make a complete font set.
I've always been a bit annoyed about the label listing thingy on blogspot only sorting alphabetically or by frequency, so I've made my own menu hack instead. You should now have easy access to all categories on the site, from the top menu. The history is still in the right side menu.

*edit* and another little update. Integrated the menu a little bit better.
*edit 2 & 3* now there's visual representation (with link) of the most recent graphics uploaded, as well as a random graphics thingy.

Don't be a square


- yes it IS addictive...

Viking Moot 2007 (Aarhus)

At roughly 9am today, an sms from Thomas "morfar" ticked in. He wanted to know if we should take a trip to Moesgaard. I was a bit puzzled at first by this request, but I quickly came to the conclusion that it was about time for the annual local Viking Moot. So after a bit of sms-debating, we agreed to head out there for the first battle of the day - and some mead and meat. Me, Liv, Thomas and his daughter, Nanna (with her trusty sword and cape).

There was ominous clouds approaching, and it did rain now and then, and it was muddy - but we came prepared. And with Sammy in Berlin, and not able to laugh at my rain boots like he did at the Metallica concert (so much that I decided to be cool and not wear them, despite the chances of a muddy experience), I got to test them finally.


It looked like rain - and it was. But the blacksmith didn't care.


Food was prepared - and food was eaten.


We were knee-deep in poop, but we were happy still.


And the warriors we're preparing for battle...


... and lining up and... well - battling.

All in all an enjoyable event, all things considered. Even if I got in the wrong queue for food, and ended up getting pork and not lamb. And even if Thomas was not as good with the bow and arrows as last year.
But we did loot a bit, so if you're in the neighbourhood - pop in for a glass of mead.

Death of the ear drum...

What better than the good old classics like AC/DC's "Highway to hell", or "It's now or never" by Elvis? Perhaps you're more of a Beatles fan or maybe you fancy the grand musical themes like "The phantom of the opera"?
So what better? Well - all of the above (and then some) in the hands (or should I say vocal chord) of a middle-aged, chinese woman called Wing.
But don't take my word for it - judge for yourself...

Wing - coming to a rest home or hospital near you. And if you're lucky, you'll have passed away before that happens.

WE LUB JUU, WING!!

*edit*
- and just as you think it can't get any better : Ladies and germs - Wing, live

Call me Mr. fix-it

I managed to assemble and adjust Liv's new bike in about 1½ hours, give or take - so she's buying me sushi tonight - yum-yum.
I've also installed my parents' new laptop - my first Vista experience. Next on the agenda is a header for Mike's new website.
Unfortunately the vacation is rapidly nearing the end. I think the weekend is reserved for absolutely nothing - except perhaps breathing... and maybe eating... and a shower or two.
