A special eye for beauty
Not many have an eye that can capture things that are breathtaking, percieve what that is exceptional or gather all the little flaws, to make perfection.
To carve a stone in to a diamond or to change a piece of paper in to a bird.
Perhaps it requires a special mind, perhaps you need to be detached from other things around you.
Open one door, close another. Let the wind in until the curtains flow the exact right way.
One person, I think, that has a very special way of finding wonderful things, is my uncle Justin, he took a lot of photos when travelling the world, perhaps you would like to see them too?
One day I hope I can be as good as him at collecting things that are angelic.

"Nøkken" Norwegian fairytale creature - by Theodor Kittelsen (1857-1914) is not as beautiful as it is scary, but is in a subtle way, at least for me, a little bit of both.
The things I don't like
I have serious trouble understanding why people would eat pickles.
You say the word 'pickle' and I hear the word 'poop'.
I think the cloying scent of pickles is the only thing that can beat the exceptionally revolting texture of canned mushrooms, and pickles is actually also the only thing that stand a chance at conquering the stinking mountain of sundried tomatoes.
Pickles are in other words a champion at being beastly and repellent.
I do not think that calls for any applause, but I do, however, think we require some Cilit Bang to remove your sudden urge to splutter down your intolerance towards my food selectiveness in the comment box.
To save the cash I suggest I just write down all the things that disgust me instead. (Of course this is not the least bit interesting, but I have been writing several thousand words on my NaNOWriMo novel today and need to express my deepest frustration).
1. Pickles - I believe I have made my point.
2. Sundried Tomatoes
3. Mushrooms - Fresh or canned, you are banned
4. Tom Cruise
5. Rocket - BLEEEURGH!!!11
6. Heavy perfumes
7. Bambi - worst. film. ever.
8. Reality TV
9. Pencils that break when you sharpen them
10. People walking slowly in front of you
11. Excess amounts of honey
12. Physical contact - Touch me, and die!
13. Cross-country skiing - AARGH!
14. Being cold - Which is like, all the time!
15. Compliments
16. Snot
17. Inpoliteness and Arrogance
18. Flaggpunch
19. Green-tea
20. Tellytubbies
21. Marzipan
22. Out-chewed chewing gum - you know when it kind of dissolves in your mouth
23. Sports!
24. Too much Coriander
25. Evil Jellyfish
26. People without confidence
27. Forcing Oneself to Write
28. --- Especially blogs

NaNoWriMo 2006
National Novel Writing Month 2006!NaNoWriMo is about writing 50. 000 words in 30 days (starting November 1st) and to manage that, you have to write approximately 1667 words each day. Today (which is day three) I have written 3. 160 words, so I am lagging a bit behind, heh. The whole thing was introduced to me through Foss, thank you for that :)
Their site is experiencing some trouble, but it is a very nice project I think and you should definitely check it out.
I do intend to reach the goal of 50. 000 words, if you want to have a look at my progress, you can see it here.
Name of my novel (which is obviously quantity before quality) is "Forever Autumn", I believe you can read an excerpt on my progress profile. ZING.

The Norwegian Backpack
Serves one
You will need these ingredients:
You will need these ingredients:
- 1 way too large a backpack, preferably waterproof,
(flourescent or strong in colours and equipped with
lots of little clasps, hooks, buttons, zippers,
pockets and plenty of room.) - 2 oranges, hard to peel
- 1 Norwegian chocolate of choice
(according to regulations: Kvikk Lunsj) - 1 pair of extra woollen socks
- 2 pairs of extra woollen mittens
- 1 camera
- 1 pair of sunglasses
- 2-3 bottles of sunscreen/sunblock
- 1 Jacket
(Anorakk according to regulations) - 1 skiwax kit
(make sure you have all the different colours)
Pack everything in the repulsive backpack and go skiing. Remember to show respect towards the weather forecasts, and more importantly: It is not a shame to turn around!
(Yeah right, if I catch you attempting to turn around ONE more time, I'm withdrawing your Norwegian Passport for good)

Winter!
Winter is here! yes I know that all that sounds a bit early. But it snowed in Oslo yesterday! At first it didn't stay in it's original shape, but melted instantly when touching the ground. However, as the traffic increased and the temperature went down (even further!) it decided to stick around.
So, while I am writing this, I can absolutely confirm the presence of snow in our garden and out on the streets- terrific!
I also did the clever move of stealing my duvet back today, because I had put clean covers on it and let Audun use it when he was here this weekend. But today I decided that it wasn't actually of much use when nobody was using it (strange how that makes sense, eh?)
I have slept wonderfully without my own duvet of course, as I have just been using another one. It's just that there is something special about using your own duvet. I am fully able to sleep anywhere, I think I could even sleep in a fishtank if the opportunity would cross my path.
(the drawing I made is of how well I could sleep in a fishtank, and also how it is possible to drool underwater).
