Reenergized

I've been working fairly hard for the past couple of days, and am well on my way to actually finishing something i can be proud of. Goodness.

Next semester starts on the fourth, with my first bachelor-seminar. Whee.

Still completely blank regarding Design, which I am taking this semester, no information has been forthcoming. Bleh, I might just complain to the ministry of education, this is ridiculous.

On another note:

Metallica, last chance. The first album of yours I ever heard was Reload, which was an integral part of my teenage existence, and only recently, in the past few years, have I come to appreciate your "old" music. Needless to say, your earliest albums are now on my personal top ten list of best metal... ever. That being said, I don't hate any of your other albums. Not even St. Anger, I just don't listen to it.

But you pulled some seriously dumb shit back in the day, with the entire Napster incident. It has been a long while since then, and I've never really dwelled upon the issue, I've been to a few of your concerts, and they were good. Especially the one at Roskilde Festival, you know the one I'm talking about. That one was absolutely epic.

But it all comes down to the music. Most reviewers are ambivalent about the upcoming album, but not entirely negative. It's hard to live up to the legacy you've created, I know, but just... try to do your thing. Be Metallica again.

Laissez-faire

Lately I've been feeling rather useless. Not much has been happening, and I certainly haven't been helping things along. And I don'r really seem to care all that much either. I've been playing World of Warcraft like a proverbial motherfucker, and basically that's it. The daily goings on of a household excluded, I've become the pinnacle example of a waste of skin. In Azeroth though, I've made more than 2000 gold on the auction house, and levelled my paladin from 48 to 62 in a month.

Recent activities:

Read my first Jules Verne ever (the shame) Journey to the centre of the earth, went to Oslo with Cecilie, planned a trip to Germany this christmas, at the moment reading Sherlock Holmes, different texts on logic and argumentation that will surely come in handy once I begin studying again. Taken up bicycling, which is much more fun than I remembered. Procrastinated.

We've been out and about rather more than is usual for us this summer, Cecilie, the kids and I.
Have rather a lot of photos lying about on my harddrive(s) that should by rights be online. These include but are not limited to:

Andreas starting at school, with his giant Schultüte, Clara reading a book with one eyebrow raised, Cecilie looking beautiful in the Norwegian capital. Me sitting on my couch gazing deeply into my navel.
