“I’m the invisible man / incredible how you can / see right through me” – BS7×03

By terje | Published: August 25, 2006
SPOILERS, obviously… (Although they’ll be moderate…) Immediate impression: Wee! Willow’s back! Willow’s back! Yet another good episode. Perhaps the best of the three S7 episodes I’ve seen this far. Again, there was a monster-of-the-week villain — and ’twas a creepy lill’ feller, indeed — which (I’m unsure of wether or not it’s correct to use [...]

Beastie Boy — BS7×02

By terje | Published: August 25, 2006
It took me a while to get there, but I finally managed to goad myself into seeing the second episode of the seventh season of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” (and how cheesy a title isn’t that?). “Beneath You”. A nice, ambiguous title. Again: SPOILERS! I finally figured out what I think I suspected during the opening of [...]

Punk? Terje?!

By terje | Published: August 23, 2006
Yeah, I know. I don’t exactly seem like the archtypical punk fan. And I’m probably not. But although I don’t look like a punk, and probably don’t think like a punk either, I can’t help but like the music, as well as what I see as the quintessential message of punk: Don’t care what anyone [...]

Ah, the brilliance of online shopping…

By terje | Published: August 23, 2006
Last week, I visited some three or four bookshops here in Trondheim in search of R. Scott Bakker’s “Prince of Nothing” novels. The only thing I found, was a trade paperback copy of The Thousandfold Thought, volume three in the series. And I’m not that keen on trade paperbacks, really. They have a great format [...]

Introduction to International Relations

By terje | Published: August 22, 2006
This was the first lecture in the course, and also the first lecture many new students of political science attend, so there was quite a lot of generalities about political science — basic definitions, rough overviews of social scientific method, and more practical information. Most of it I already knew, as I’ve taken courses in [...]

Blogroll updated

By terje | Published: August 21, 2006
Some links added, mainly links to my favourite forums at the moment: Fantasyforumet.net, Tolkiens.net, Tidshjulet.net, and Guardians’ Grove/Everestia Community. I also added a link to Loki’s blogg, which I read daily. And if I link to it from here, I won’t have to go the long way via bookmarks/blogs to get there.

Curse upon curse upon blasphemous curse!

By terje | Published: August 21, 2006
Today, I found out that the day the American Drama Group Europe perform Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew in the Archbishop’s Palace here in Trondheim, is the second day of the Bjørnson Festival of International Literature, where I’ll be working as a volunteer. This is kinda crappy, as I’ve been looking forward to seeing the [...]

A New Purpose

By terje | Published: August 20, 2006
Today, while out walking in my neighbourhood, I came up with a new, or additional, purpose for this blog. I study Social Science at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology here in Trondheim, and I’m working towards a Bachelor degree with a focus on Political Science and History. I have one year to go before [...]

Arthur wassisname?

By terje | Published: August 20, 2006
King Arthur – Director’s Cut (2004). I remember seeing an advertising poster for this film once, it must have been around Christmas 2003, and I just couldn’t wait to see it. However, for various reasons I never got around to watching it in the theatres, and after it was released on DVD, I’ve basically only [...]

C’est la sense de la vie!

By terje | Published: August 20, 2006
Ok, I’ve mentioned Monty Python’s “The Meaning of Life” (1983) a couple of times now, and so I thought I’d finally get around to writing a kind of review of it. Mind you, I rarely, if ever, write reviews of anything, so this’ll probably be a badly constructed one. The first thing that struck me, was [...]
