I succumbed to the dragon, and if any of you did too, we have an easier way of keeping in touch, yeah? In case you do later, I added the link to my blogroll.

An Update, Telegram Style

Saw Athens with fun people. Loved it. Stayed home, wrote papers. Got bored. Visited Rome with nice persians. Hated leaving. Wrote paper. Worked. Bought tickets for Dinosaur Jr. Found out 6 months had passed. Wrote this post. Send more money.

A Plague! A Plague on Our Houses!

By terje | Published: May 24, 2008
In my Last.fm shoutbox, I was recently asked by one of my readers to post more frequently in my blog, and seeing as your whim is my law, I bring you this: an essay of sorts about the last topic you’d expected me to write about! One of the things you might not know [...]

Some things I suspect I believe to be true

By terje | Published: April 22, 2008
About eighteen months ago now, I realised I’m a materialist; I believe that everything in this world is matter, that there is no such thing as spirit, that what others might perceive as “spirit” can be explained materially. And for some thirteen, fourteen months, my Christian flatmate Håvard has challenged me on this. To him there [...]

In case anyone cares…

By terje | Published: January 25, 2008
I updated the “About” page yesterday. I thought the old introduction to Terje was a bit too whiny, so I deleted it and wrote a new one. For your bloody convenience, too, you disrespectful ingrates! (Whoa, from whence did that last part come? )

This does not bode well…

By terje | Published: December 24, 2007
I was in Molde yesterday, to have dinner with a buddy of mine from high school, and somehow at least two thirds of the four hours we spent together were spent talking about World of Warcraft, which said buddy, like so many others, had been pretty much addicted by the last couple of years. Personally, [...]

Curses! Or constructing next term’s schedule

By terje | Published: December 21, 2007
I checked my course registration page at NTNU (ooh!) about an hour ago, and much to my delight I discovered that I’ve been registered for not two but three courses this spring, and that these three combined fill my required term quota of 30 study points. English Linguistics gives me 7,5 points if I pass it; [...]

Wastin’ money

By terje | Published: December 15, 2007
Be that as it may, seeing as I don’t think I’ll fail any of my exams, I decided to take a quick trip downtown, to visit my favourite purveyors of fine leisure activities. The first of these was Avalon, also known as Gotham. I was primarily looking for John Scalzi’s Ghost Brigades, but it as turned [...]

I’m concerned for my university

By terje | Published: December 14, 2007
I had my fifth and final exam for the term today, and unfortunately, I thought it was just like the four previous ones. You see, based on the curriculi and the lectures in the courses I’ve been taking this fall, I’ve been expecting to be satisfied with a straight Cs. Global English had a lot of [...]

w00t!

By terje | Published: December 13, 2007
Finally! Almost two years since I bought and started playing it, and some five or six years since the game’s release, I finally finished Neverwinter Nights! I was close about half a year ago, too, when I had this rather nice Half-Orc Paladin going for me, but unfortunately, he proved to be no match for the [...]
