dvd update.

A DVD update you say? Yea, they're scarce at best-- but even so, here it goes. I've just ordered a documentary entitled "Håkon Bleken, maler". The documentary depicts an artist/ a painter, Håkon Bleken. We get to join him in his studio while he's creating new paintings and such. Art, other artists, society/ politics and upbringing are some of the topics he discusses throughout the film. The first time I saw it was a couple of years ago, when it came out, and when I found out that it was going to be released on DVD-- I couldn't be happier. Yea.. that's that. Have a nice evening.
Tuesday morning, getting ready for work.
Listening to the Chico & Rita soundtrack.
Mhm, me thinks this day will turn out great.

Anyroad, within a week or so, you should expect frequent posting in the-- TV: Californication section :P Love that show, so I'm friggin' excited to start watching season four, mhm. Yea, that's that. Good night.

Blood, Sweat & Tears, good deal.

ch-ch-ch-changes II

In advance, fuck my life. Secondly, I've done some more changes to the design of my blog-- mhm, awesome. After a quick glance, nothing special. But there are a few subtle, erm, changes. Some HTML-coding had to be done to achieve said changes. Bah. IN CONCLUSION-- fuck my life.

ch-ch-ch-changes

Yea, had to do some changes to the layout and such. And yea I know, the changes made are barely visible-- but even tho, there are changes. Mhm. I'm actually considering making a new head banner-- but, not now. Damn, a more uninspiring post is hard to find. Bah, who cares anyways.
An easy Sunday indeed. A summary:
Chillaxing in the sun. reading a book
Watched a couple of films
A nice dinner with the missus
Listened to some sweet music while surfin' the internets
Yay Sunday!

canadian club & cuba crisis

Season two, done. Excellent show. Over these last couple of days I've been on a, somewhat, high on this show. In my opinion the show gets better and better by each season-- so what's in store for season three? Dunno, I'd imagine-- pretty much the same recipe as we've witnessed in the two previous seasons. But that's great, it's great to sit back and enjoy the world this show, I'd suppose, so brilliantly depicts-- IMO tho. Yea, I guess that's that. MADMEN, highly recommended.

please, ingrid, pretty please

If someone could just release Ingrid Olava's Lullaby For A Tired Heart-- I'd be very chipper. The only sufficient version is the one performed @En Vakker Dag, w/ Bjørn Eidsvåg (TV2). One of the most beautiful musical performances I've ever seen, in harmony with a perfect arrangement and a backing band which delivered a breathtaking experience. Yea, it was that intense.. :P Anyways, laters everyone.

Actually-- Lilyhammer is pretty entertaining. At first I didn't think much of it, but as I've now watched the third episode-- the show has turned out to be a quite fun experience. Mhm. It's not perfect by any means nor is Lilyhammer an instant favorite-- but even though, greatly enjoyable, IMO. So yea, looking forward to ensue all the crazy shit Giovanni and the others get themselves into. Yea, that's it. Laters.

"I heard it on Twitter".. yea, care to elaborate?

re:views / months past

L' année Derniè à Marienbad, directed by Alain Resnais, 1961. A classic, although it's not for everyone-- because it's quite demanding, so to speak. But, as you venture further into the story it becomes more and more gratifying. Recommendable!

Touch of Evil. Directed by Orson Welles, 1951. A crime/ mystery with an intriguing plot and some solid acting performances to boot. So-- all in all, if you're into the classic film genre, recommendable!

Incendies, a Canadian film from 2010-- directed by Denis Villeneuve. A highly intriguing film IMO. Great storyline and acting performances. The film also conveys a subtle yet powerful landscape-- both literally and within the characters, their struggles and such, recommendable!

Within the upcoming week, I hope, fingers crossed-- yea..
Here's to easy evenings.

Hell, my gf has taken possession of the TV and she's now watching Eurovision Song Contest. I couldn't be more uninterested in said show. Really. So, just to set things right-- to make this Saturday survivable/ manageable, erm, whatever-- on headphones;

REFUSED - the shape of punk to come.

Yea, since I've decided not to buy that many films-- this event is kinda rare (that's what she said). Bah, let's make this long and boring story short. Fuck my life. Anyways, just minutes ago I pre-ordered  THE HURT LOCKER - steelbook edition @play. This particularly edition looks pretty sweet, and I'm pretty excited too see how it looks on BluRay. Mhm.


Speaking of which-- yesterday I, again, re-organized my film collection. In the process I parted with a hefty amount of DVDs-- titles like Hot Tub Time Machine and Transporter 2, fuck, what was I thinking.. Anyways, approx 80 titles-- gone. Now, the collection is more condensed, yea.. And overall, hopefully, it contains more quality. I guess. Fuck my life.

ellinor

Before writing what's supposed to be the main subject for this entry, I realized that I have yet to written an entry about my niece, Ellinor. She was born on September 23rd, 2011. She's the second daughter of my sister Marianne and brother-in-law Jörn. So, yesterday-- Sunday, we attended her christening in Re. We had a great day together, all of us-- 16 in total. It was good times to see my family again-- because it's not that often I get to see them, so yea-- good times indeed. While hanging out, we planned our next trip back home to Trysil. Looking forward. Bah, enough family-jibba-jabba :P Laters.
