THE SUM OF ALL FEARS

A new day-- sick leave, ech! 10 days left. I'm really hoping to get back to work when my sick leave expires. So, on Wednesday I'm have an appointment with a physiotherapist-- finally. Hopefully, that'll make all the difference, well, not after just one appointment-- but later down the road, so to speak. Anyways, annoyed. Nag. Have a great day :P

gimmie some mo

Listening to some old school Busta.

Phew.. it's nice to finally own the complete series of The Sopranos. Me thinks a re-watch is in order, soon tho. A fantastic show indeed-- IMO. Later.

downtime

Ever since May 15th with the release of Diablo 3 I've been beside myself, sorta. It's hard not to go on YouTube and search for gameplay vids. I'm curious to see what happens after the death of the Skeleton King-- end game of the BETA. The fact that I own a copy of the game doesn't help either.. Mhm.

Meanwhile, rumors concerning the release of the new iMAC is surfacing. The latest talks about it being, supposedly, shipped out with Retina Display-- which will increase the display resolution (more pixels per inch). Oh happy days. Can't wait for it to be released :P My bank account is ready.. Lame.

Hurray.

-.-

Today, a doctors appointment, ech! Got sick leave for the rest of May.. Fuck, I'm growing more and more bitter as each day goes by. Later this month I'm going to have an x-ray taken of my lower back (I think I've mentioned this before, yea), plus, I have to visit a physiotherapist for treatment. Crap. The doctor thought my leg troubles could be linked to my back-- which is worse and more severe, IMO. Bah. One day at the time ey? Hell. Laters. 

unboxing a game

Finally, after several months of waiting-- Diablo is here. Excited? Yea. Most of all, it's great to finally own a copy-- considering being a fan and dedicated follower for years, ever since its' announcement. Now, a new waiting game begins. Hopefully, the waiting will be over in mid June.. Apple, commit! Anyways, here follows a couple of photos from the unboxing earlier tonight.

"Sendingen er ankommet Kiwi Sande". Arrived. Yay.

this, i love

Watched an episode of The Tudors yesterday. ATM, I'm in season three-- which is a fairly short season with only eight episodes in total. I should soon order the fourth and final season-- and that's going to be purchased on BluRay. Some time ago I thought about upgrading the first three seasons to BluRay as well-- because it's better quality and they're not that expensive, anymore. But, I figured I could use that money one something else-- for instance, the complete series of The Sopranos :P Anyways, The Tudors is still very entertaining-- although the historical accuracy is a bit off, still, a very entertaining show, IMO. Me thinks the action/ drama will be more and more prominent in the upcoming episodes-- considering the ever changing mental state of Henry VIII. Bonkers, indeed. Let the beheading begin!

The Sopranos - the complete series | DVD

I do own the first five seasons of the show, but a few years back a friend (not anymore tho, haha jk) of mine wanted to borrow it. Yea, sure-- fine. The kicker tho-- when I got the five seasons back, to say the least, it was badly treated. Pretty much all the discs had scratches and finger prints, and also, the last disc of season 5 was missing. So yea, when I spotted it on a sale @CDON.no, I just had to get it. The Sopranos is one of those shows that needs to be in every collection, IMO. Also, it's probably my favorite show of all time.

ohmg

shpotify

Over the last couple of days I've been thinking about upgrading my Spotify account. As of now, I have the free version-- which is full of adverts and shuts down after a certain amount of hours playing music and whatnots. After a day or two, it's back up-- for a couple of hours, so it seems, but it's probably longer. Anyways. By upgrading I don't have to deal with all that, but it comes with a price, not that expensive but still (UNLIMITED 49,- kr per month). The thing is, am I using Spotify that much which validates an upgrade? Hm, dunno. Well, I pretty much use it every time I'm on the computer.. So yea..

Do you Spotify?

59 times of pain

Sick leave, ech! To some extent, I'm pleased-- because being at work is, needless to say, painful. But even so, staying home from work-- quite boring. Me thinks there will be lots of film and TV-show watching over these next couple of days.. Also, Shift 2 Unleashed. Can't wait for all this to be over with. Really. In a week or so I'm going to take an x-ray of my right thigh, hip and lower back-- in order to figure out what's causing all this pain. Again, ech!

ech!

Ah, childhood memories. Arise, by Sepultura. [full, YouTube]

Yea, what's up with that? (photo/ imgur)

hey june

Predictions sorta shows that the iMAC is most likely to get an update in mid June. Reason being, Apple WWDC'12. An event where stuff gets introduced/ announced. Also, there's a year since the iMAC was last updated, and it's been approx a year between each iMAC update, mhm. So yea, fingers crossed and all that. Finally, that being said, it's going to be close to 'impossibru' to own D3 without being able to play it. Ah, decisions..

Yea! (photo/ imgur)

FREDAG! yay.

Two weeks left. Awesome.

consume this!

In recent weeks I've discovered a somewhat lack of interest in buying new BluRays. Well, there are a few titles that I've accumulated over the recent months, but not in the same quantity as usual. All-in-all, this is great-- a change for the better. Mhm. In the end-- my collection stays manageable, so to speak. Firstly, I'm more apprehensive about the quality of the films-- meaning, I don't end up with a heap of shitty films, which only take up space and collects dust. Mhm. Secondly, I save money. Ever since Christmas I've been saving up for a new iMAC (surprise-- surprise), so my focus has shifted, sorta. All good, and all that being said-- there are some titles that I'm excited about picking up for the collection. In the following list-- I may have forgotten a few titles, so an edit may be in place on a later date. Laters.

While spending tomorrow off work, it being May 1st and all, tonight-- calls for a cold beer. Hm, I couldn't think of anything better to do-- erm, nor write.

April, laters.

The A-Team just parachuted into Borneo,
to rescue the general's daughter. So-- what else is new? :P

THE TUDORS, season 3-- let's do it.

A sunny Sunday morning, nice!

I'm soon off to visit my family in Ramnes.
It'll be nice to see my sweet nieces again.
Have a great weekend.

*coming soon*
..pfft-- yea right.

sigh and stuff

Had to call in sick, yesterday and today. It's increasingly more and more difficult to walk-- so I called my doctor today, again, but he basically said-- yea yea yea.. I'll send you a new prescription, of the same medicine as last time. And I was like, yea-- thanks. Hopefully, all this will soon be over. Because, staying home from work, boooooring. Sigh.

pripps blå/ classic, haha.

h. sweet h.

Just got back from my hometown of Trysil. A great weekend indeed. Visited my grandmother at the local hospital-- she's been terribly ill for the last couple of days. On Saturday we got a chance to talk to her-- so, needless to say, I'm very glad that I visited her. A very fond and a quite sad get together. The remaining weekend was spent playing cards and eating a vast amount of waffles. Did I mention it was a great weekend? :P

@trysil. Enjoying breakfast, the weekend has now landed.

day eighteen

Time for an update, I guess. For approx two weeks now my right thigh has been hurting like hell, so-- yesterday, I had to go to see the doctor. It was a tendinitis-- which I had in my left thigh last October. Anyways! Got a prescription for some pills, so yea, good times. NEEDLESS TO SAY, my plan regarding a "new and improved" lifestyle-- kinda fell through. Well, I'm eating healthier, but still, I'm a long way from my initial goal, yesh. When my thigh is back to its healthy self-- the work out part of my plan will be significantly increased, mhm. Shit, this is boring.

MUSIC, gotta love it.

Yea, that 'HTC One X' looks pretty awesome.

the beginning of the end

Just thought I'd post a short comment concerning the criminal procedure against the terrorist who shot and killed 77 people in Oslo and at Utoya, on July 22nd of last year. Today, the trial began. Personally, I'm not going to intensively follow the trial-- I'm not going to give the terrorist that kind of satisfaction. The terrorist has reported that he'll use the trial against him as an arena to broadcast his twisted believes, so yea, not giving him the attention he wants-- suits me well. That being said, in weeks to come-- the trial will be in every newspaper, on every news coverage and on every news site. So, in some aspects-- the terrorist has made some kind of impact. But, and this is important-- he'll never 'conquer' the Norwegian people with his, as before mentioned, twisted believes. His plan has worked against him, ever since that fatal Friday last summer. THE BEGINNING OF THE END-- began today. The survivors of the attacks will prevail, the terrorist won't-- fucker.

spa-francorchamps, ftw

During the last couple of days I've been playing and enjoying lots of Shift 2 Unleashed. Fun times indeed. My newly purchased, tuned and upgraded Audi RS4 is quite bitchin'. As for my before promised Games/ Expired series (link), dunno. It sounded like a good idea at the time, but now, dunno. I will get to it, eventually. Now, more S2U, øøørn-øøørn-ørn!

Four weeks left. Awesome.

BluRay Update/ DRIVE (2011)

9 months past, trial

Surviving victims and relatives of both victims and surviving victims are now preparing themselves for the criminal procedure against the man who on July 22nd of last year-- killed 77 people in downtown Oslo (Regjeringskvartalet) and Utoya. Ever since that tragic day, 7/22, the media has shown a tremendous focus on every aspect of said case-- for obvious reasons, and I believe the surviving victims and relatives have been dealing with it to the best of their abilities. It's quite hard to even comprehend the struggles they've been going through-- for these almost 9 months past. So now, a new obstacle for them to overcome-- the criminal procedure.

They'll prevail, he won't.

Ah, there's nothing like some Nick Drake in the morning.
Here's to easy mornings, and sunny weather-- because, now it's raining.

Bah, have a nice day.

games: expired / introduction

For some time now I've been thinking about doing a series of posts regarding video games. Or, better yet-- awesome games I played a lot while growing up. I've NEVER considered myself a, so called, gamer.. but still, there are some titles I've been almost religiously attached to, sorta. A weird sentence I know, but yea. Here's the initial reason to why I thought about doing this-- a couple of weeks ago I watched some gameplay vids of Command & Conquer: Red Alert on YouTube. There you go. Then I started to think about other game titles I used to love growing up.. Mhm. So, in the weeks to come I'll highlight some games I've, as before mentioned, played a lot over the years. Personally, I think it will be fun to revisit these games, and maybe some of you will remember some of these games as well. Which titles that will be included-- I'm not sure, yet. That's not important either-- at least, not at this point. In which order will the various games be posted? Eh, randomly I'd reckon. Some titles may be compiled in a single entry-- based on genre, media and such.. Obviously, the posts in this series will be highly subjective, but hey-- there's no other way to do it I guess, it being a nostalgic topic and all :P
