I'm back home!

Ah, finnaly.... at "home" in Bergen!
I've gotten off that stupid noisy and claustrophobic train and am now sitting in my grandparent's with the laptop (which my English teacher claims I have an alarming addictive relationship with...) on my lap, haha.
I've been reading Nick Hornby's High Fidelity on my way over here (that's six hours) and I found it surprisingly depressive, even though I have read it before, and then I actually enjoyed it a lot!
Maybe I'm just in a gloomy mood these days... It's all the darkness! The sun's only around for about six hours a day, which is very frustrating if you don't wake up until elleven, and then don't get out of the house until one.

But I'll keep only happy thoughts as I'm here, 'cause I am after all going to hang with my very best mates, Steph, Marianne and Magnus:)

In the afternoons that is, until then I'll be hanging with farmor(father's mother) and helping her out with her shopping and other important chores.

Positive and soothing thoughts from Sun (who is seriously concidering a trip to the solarium one of these days)

Scary Who-cd's

I've been reading my last blogpost over and over the last days, and I now realize that it made me sound very conservative and I didn't mean for that at all! I've found out recently that I can concider myself a socialist:p

Anyway, as I keep saying, this blog isn't for discussing politics and booring things like that...



What I originaly wanted to tell you about was a very scary thing that just happened to me.

I'll have to tell you about an incident from this spring first though, 'cause one day I'd been out with Maria and bought Quadrophenia on dvd and the Who Sell Out on cd. I was listening through the cd, which by the way didn't give a very good first impression, when suddenly it started to skip the songs! I got really mad and put it in a different player, but still it kept skipping, and stopping and then went on playing... And this never happened at my dad's place...(duhluh-duhluh...)

And today, while I was copying music over to my computer, I'd put in another Who-cd, and left the room, well knowing that the sound was turned off. Then when I came back, the sound was on and the cd was playing!


Ok, this has happened to other cds, but no more than once per cd.
Haha, I guess I'm a bit paranoid and superstitious:p
And I've never really experienced any other super natural things in this house...
But a girl can dream that she might just have a ghost in her room who also happens to enjoy the Who...

Provocative art?

I watched a tv show last week called "Safari" which is about culture stuff and art and so on.

That nights show was about feminist artists, and abortion and other issues that women can relate to.

They had this thing about this Swedish feminist artist, who had decided to make a sort of exhibition called something like "Birthday Party For Happy Aborted Children".

She had made all these cakes shaped as small foeteses and said that her intention with this little birthday party, was to provoke and remove the taboo around abortion, which so many women will have to go through. I have to say, before I continue that this "artist" once masturbated in front of her cat, and recorded it on tape and called it art so...

Anyways, she had this exhibition in Bergen, one of the cities in Norway that contains most free and freaky people, so I'm not exactly impressed.

I mean, what is she trying to get at? She's in Norway, whith total freedom of speach, where there are no demonstrators standing outside the locals waiting to stone her or disfigure her face because of the exhibition.

I would respect her so much more if she was actually at the risk of being arrested.

If she went down to, say, an Amish village, or maybe Iran and did this, I would probably see the point, but she isn't risking anything.

This week there will be a thing about this other artist who takes pictures of naked people in the middle of New York, and gets arressted almost every time.

Somehow I feel that that is a little more impressive, because he is actually provoking someone, whilst this swedish lady is doing nothing like that. All she is accomplishing is to annoy a couple of women, and maybe a couple of men, but there is no "revolution".

That's my thought for the day... tudluh!
