Impala!!!
It finally happened you guys!!
The car drove straight past me!
It was so close! I could have touched it! I could have jumped into it! (The roof was down. No idea why as it is freezing during day, and even colder in the evening..) It is so gorgeous! I got practiacally star-struck! I could have sucked in all the details, but I wasn't able to (I was able to detect some writing on the side and on the tail, but I wasn't able to read, that would require too much constructive thinking
), coz it went right by me, and it looks amazing, and it(the front) looks just like Metallicar (except for not having the awesome side-head-lights), I just imagined Dean and Sam driving by, and it was beautiful and it went right past me!
I'm almost still shaking
(And now it drove past my window) I want that car!!! I was just coming out from supper (The school and, obviously, it's cefeteria is one building, the dorm building is another one), and I am glad I went in kind of late, and ate just what I did and spent exactly the amount of time I did, and left as I did, coz if just one of those took longer/shorter, I'd miss it! I was walking back, had just gone out the door, when I heard a car and automatically turned my head to the sound. I saw the lights (it was already getting rather dark out) and I thought "..that...can it be..? no... is it?" (Bless SN eps showing us Metllicar driving off in the dark. I can ID it by the headlights
) it came a little closer, and, it had music on (not rock
some Norwegian summer classic. I guess he needed a summer song to keep himself warm), but the engine... this was a big one...and the lights... it came even closer, and, in the light from the surrounding bulidings, and the street lights, and the tiny bits of remaining daylight, I could see it, this truly was the Impala!
And the timeing was so perfect, coz the road goes between the dorm and the school, and with the phase I was walking and the speed the car was driving (which was slow
) I walked straight onto it
It was so awesome! It is gorgeous!!! This chick was walking next to me, and as the car had passed (not as it passed, was too busy staring/drooling to be able to form words), "I love that car!" "Yea, it was pretty cool." "I'm so gonna convince him to sell it to me." "Are you?" "Yes!" "It's probably expencive.." "...Yea...
I do have a plan tho, I'm gonna make him run over me just slightly, and then I'll get the car as compensation." "..Right... nice plan.."
Ahh... I was so lost in my thoughts as I got up here. I went into the kitchen (there's a kitchen in the doorm building aswell, but we get food at the cafeteria 3 times/day) to put something in the fridge and grab some water, and as I was about to go out the door, another chick came in, and I jumped
BTW, I know, too many details, all you really needed to know was that the car just drove past me. But I am on an Impala-high right now, so sue me (or don't, coz I'm gonna need my money to buy the car..)
(So I'll go on
) I actually haven't seen the car in...2-3 weeks. Last week we were on break, so I wasn't here, so, not surprising I didn't see it then. But I don't think I (There it was again!
Yes, I do look out the window every time a car drives by
It's kind of depressing as about 95% of the time it's not Impala, but it is awesome everytime it is Impala, and I don't wanna miss it
) saw the car at all the week before that either, if I did it was on Mon or Tue, and I hadn't seen it this week before now. I was getting worried.
I was in the potatoefield again yesterday, but the car wasn't home so I couldn't take convinient staring/drooling breakes like I did last time
Ok...That is enough Impala rambling for now
SN Thrusday tomorrow!
And then SN Friday the day after that!
I am really looking forward to this one! It looks way, way heavy, possibly too heavy, so I'm not sure I'm gonna like it, but I'm still so very excited! I was tepted to see the prewiev on Facebook, I never do that! I am a complete spoilefobe, so all I know is what the SOON preview in the last ep showed, and the ep description on tv.com. And the title of course. I am expecting a lot of Cas, hopefully some Metallicar action, and hopefully I'll like it.
Hehe..I'm all hyper now after the Impala sighting(s)...

Hope you're all doing good!

It's been a year.... etc
Hello! ![]()
So, I don't know if you remember (or have any indication of time on this matter), but 1 year ago, my grandparent's house burnt down... Well, actually, it was Sept 15th, so it's slightly more than a year, I've been thinking to blog for 2 weeks, just haven't gotten around to it..Anyway.
I cannot believe it's been a year already.. It feels more like three months. Well.. it just feels odd really, I still sometimes feel like it just happened, sometimes it feels as if it's always been this way.. But for the most part, it only feels like a few months, not a year.
I realized around the middle of Aug that it was 11 months, one more month and it'd be a year, and, so, in a way, the 11 month day was harder than the 12 month/one year day.. (of course I had been thinking of it for long before that, I just didn't realize in the same way) . On the 15th we had a bit of a family reunion. All my aunts and uncles, and most my cousins, and Grandma of course, live close, so we often meet, but we rented a location for the day, and (I think it was) 27 of us got together in the evening. First we went to the grave,and then we went just to hang out and eat together and stuff. Just to mark the day in some way. Just to be together. It wasn't sad at all actually, I did half expect I'd cry, but I didn't. It was nice. Grandma had spent a few hours by the house aswell (well, not the house, the house is gone, but where their house used to be, in their garden), and talked to the guy who first arrived, and practically saved her, the night of the fire. She has talked to him on several occations after the fire, but he still told her some things she didn't know. Coz she doesn't remember. Like, she remembers being inside, she remembers detecting the fire, and trying to get both herself and Grandpa out. (He didn't get out.) She remembers the grass was cold, how her feet were absolutely freezing, and she remembers screaming for Grandpa to get out, and for someone to come help them. She partly remembers this guy, R, coming, and getting into his car, and that's about it. Just bits and pieces after that. She does not remember seeing the fire from the outside. She does not remember seeing her house on fire. She remembers it from inside, seeing her livingroom on fire, but she does not remember seeing her house on fire from the outside. She remembers running around outside, screaming and freezing and scared and disoriented, but she cannot recollect any image of the house burning. Which is good, I guess. Blocking that part out. Now, she does not remember everything else from being outside, such as where he found her, that she does not remember. She remembers him coming, but not where they were. This guy, R, he just happens to be married to, I think it's her cousin's daughter. So when he came, he said "Do you know me?" and she said "Is it you R?" She kind of remembers that. And she remembers she was so happy, felt they were soo nice to let her sit in their car. (Him and his son) After that she only remembers bits and pieces. She does not remember the ambulance coming, or getting out of the car and into the ambulance, but she does remember my dad came into the ambulance. And she remembers they asked her over and over and over and over when she was born. She remembers slightly struggeling to get the words out, but managing it, and getting just a tad bit annoyed that they couldn't just write it down already so they didn't need to ask her all the time
Wow..I write too much...
Like I said, I've been meaning to do this blog for 2 weeks, and decided that this week I would do it. But honestly, I have to admit, why it happens now, is coz of school. In my homework for tomorrow, it includes quite a few pages and tasks on protection against fire. Some days, that would be okay, some days, like today, it's not. So I just needed to get it out of my system on a more personal note, before getting into reading/doing the tasks. Coz I do not want to cry at school tomorrow, and I think if I am able to distance myself from it while doing homework, it will be easier to distance myself from it at school aswell. But I don't know. I still got no way of knowing how I'm gonna react to fire. Like, some days, just randomly hearing the word, even if it's like "Fire in my heart", that kind of thing, that's all it takes for me to start crying. Other days I can watch a movie or something, and there'll be a house burning, and I don't care, (I mean, I do, but I don't) I'm able to smile and laugh, not necessarily about the fire, but joking about something else, and then smile while seeing the fire on the screen. Honestly tho, photos are the hardest. I mean, I didn't see the fire, I didn't actually experience it, physically nor visually, but I did see the house after. So now, seeing pics of a burning/burnt down house.. That often gets to me. And there's a picture in the book... I keep looking at it (I'm not sure why I don't just close the book/turn the page really, but..). Ah.. No, I'm gonna finish this blog, and then I'm gonna do my homework. If I cry, then I cry. And if I cry at school, then I cry at scholl, I'm sure everyone will understand. I might txt the teacher, haven't decined yet. Haven't made up my mind wheither I want him to know or not. I'm not sure I want him to know, coz then he'll be thinking of it, and then I'm gonna feel some kind of sympathy, weither he shows it (to the class) or not, but then again, if he does know, then he'll know why I might react to it.. But it's not until after lunch tomorrow, so I got several hours to prepare, and to find out how the day is.. But, again, if I cry, then I cry, it's not worse than that.
I guess that's enough fire talk for now. I'm not sure the whole "getting it out of my system" angle worked, but
It is therapeutic to talk about it anyway ![]()
Ok, otherwise.. School is good... Still not entirely adjusted to this dorm life.. But I can say I totally understand people complaining about their roommates
(We only share a tiny hall and a bathroom. Kitchen and shower is shared with the entire main hall, which should be 12 but is 11 people.) She's okay really, she's just annoying. ![]()
Here are a few, more or less random, SN assosiations ![]()
One, some of you should know of already, as I mentioned it in my last blog: One of the neighbours has an Impala!
It's not an exacly Metallicar double, but it is an Impala
It is black and gorgeous. Drop top. I think it's a 66, but I still haven't been able to identify it really. I will talk to the guy who owns it, and I will convince him to sell it to me. That's the plan!
I haven't seen it this week
But saw it quite a bit last week, when plucking (what do you call it btw? "taking up" maybe?) potatoes. The potatoe field was just below the Impala's house.
My effectivity may have sunk when I realized that
Was too far to really see any details, but I could clarly see the car, so I was like "Ok, time for a break *drool all over Impala*" ![]()
Also; the sound the door into the main hall (from the stairs) makes. It is just like that creaky sound that is part of the S3 namecard sequence! Amuses me every time
(And I walk thru that door several times a day!
)
Third: Oxytocin. You remember it? It's the hormone Cara was talking about in S&V, the one that all the men who'd killed their wifes had such high levels of. She said it's produced during child birth, lactation and sex. For me, this is a topic in school because of lactation. You know, cows, milk, lactation: Oxytocin. It is not impossible I smiled pretty much every time it was mentioned, and it did help me on my test ![]()
Speaking of SN: It is SN Thursday!
I just rewatched FTBYAM just before sitting down with my homework (which wasn't a very long sitting at all
) And I get to see the new eptomorrow!
It kind of sucks tho, I haven't figured out a way to see it at school
Not able to dl here. I don't know if it's just me or not. I think it may be a firewall (fire..) thing, and I don't really wanna mess with the school's set ups so.. But yea, that was one of my big concernes before moving here; Will I be able to dl SN?? Is there Internet? No (I think), but, (obviously) yes.
Another tv concern of mine is when biathlon starts back up in a couple months. Will I be able to see it??
Here are a few tv's but everyone has to share, and I'm at school, you know. Hopefully I'll figure something out. And I can always watch in the weekends, at home. ![]()
From the topic of TV, we'll smoothly jump over to movies.
I'm gonna go watch Up with my bff this weekend
I've already seen it tho
Misha twitted about watching it 3 times, and it was so good, and if it wasn't then he'd be furious (something like that) about a month ago, I figured, since it was so good he'd watch it 3 times without being furious, then it had to be good. I'm not really that into animated movies, but this one was amazing! I loved it so much! So much deeper than I thought it would be. It was so fabulously unrealistic, yet so amazingly believable! Told the bff about it, and she said we'dgo see it when it came to the cinema, and it came here last weekend, but we couldn't go then, so we're going now
The local/district paper gave it a 6
I'm so excited to see it again!
It's been over a month since I saw it, and I have made myself not watch it again coz I don't want to remember the whole thing when seeing it now ![]()
Okay, I'm gonna wrap this up. Seriuosly, I need to learn to keep my blogs to a reasonable lenght! ![]()
Just one last thing. Fall has definitely sat in. It's been COLD this week. Snow on the mountains. Bring on winter.. The trees look amazing
There's this huge, yellow, almost golden tree just outside my window, and there's another tree just behind it, about the same size, but still green, and seeing them up against eachother..beautiful!
Ok, that's enough! Time for food and homework now. Thanks for reading.
Supernatural!
As we all know, this week will bring the return of Supernatural!
I'd say that totally deserves a blog ![]()
I've spent the last month rewatching the entire series. Started Aug 3rd and finished Sept 5th. Saw the two first seasons in 10 days, then chilled after that. Started with worrying weither I was even gonna make it, but ended up being done a week before I had to, and I could have been done sooner. I think I did good. ![]()
Figured I'd do a little review.
All in all, what I'm left with.. I dunno, I'm a little underwhelmed, but not really.. I don't like to say it but in a way I feel like Kripke, without really doing it, has sort of ruined his own show. What I mean is, it has been building up, and building up, and building up.. Which of course is amazing, but looking back, albeit the quality of the show is just the same, meaning it is still an utterly amazing show, but the impact it leaves, is getting smaller.. I like to use the finale of S2 as an exsample, coz I remember I was all over the top excited about it, and it was so awesome, and we thought we were really starting to see some of Kripke's plan, and we knew all about YED... But, turns out, we were wrong! Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. It just lowers the impact. Of course, S2 is a long time ago, lots of things have happened, we know so much more now. But that's not ethe issue. Not really. It's not what has happened, it's how it's happened... Uhm, I feel this got messy, makes more sense in my head...
Further on this tho, and I know I said this upto several times during last season, everything has gotten too big now! It is too heavy! It has taken away the impact from previous serasons, but has taken on too big an impact so it's hard to comprehend it all.. And even bigger it gets...?
But ah, bring it on!
Ok, on to some of my thought that I have collected during my watch, and that I still remember right now ![]()
I just can't get over John! Everytime when I rewatch, it builds up all thru S1, more or less stays with throughout S2, then sort of fades away a bit, gets a boost every now and again, especially early in S4, and still, now.. I'm left here, wondering; Just how much did John know!?!?! Supposedly, he knew. But knew what? Did he know the full extent of YED's plan? Did he know only to the end of S2, or did he know beyond that? Did he know all the way thru to the end of S4? Is it even bigger? He did not break for 10 months/100 years, which might indicate he did know. But did he really know the whole, full plan? Everything? All the way down to the Apocalypse? Why did he keep it to himself? Did he know Sam was gonna (be tempted to) go down the rute he did end up going down? The "Save him or kill him" idicates he might of. But how? And did he know that Dean might start it by going in after he got out? I could go on, but you know where this is all going. How much did John know, and how did he know it??!? Also, have to say, John, IMO, has to be the best hunter! (That we have been introduced to anyway. I know there are others that we have not heard of, and there are those we have breifly heard of, and those we have met briefly, and there are those we know...and, by what I can tell (and if John really did know...which I'm leaning towards he did), he has got to have been the best!)
Another thing that I can't let go, but I think we're supposed to get an answer to, Croatoan!??! I hope so... but I'm not sure (No spoilers please! Uhm..ok, if you know anything, you can confirm or disconfirm it, but no more info!
)
One more thing: Do we know why the CRD said she could get in trouble for dealing with Dean?
The best episode: What Is and What Should Never Be! Such a fantastic episode! It is just about perfect! Honestly, it's the best episode I have ever seen, of any show, ever! It is so amazing! I love it so much!!! I mean, the story, the writing, the acting, the directing, the editing, everything! It is all so incredible! It doesn't hurt that it is kind of special with the fact that it was the first ep Kripke ever directed. But that's just a bonus. And he did a great job!
And, I mean, the acting! Jensen, the guy who always deliveres, outdoes even himself on this ep! I just can't get over it! Why did he not get an award for that ep!?! And the editing/cutting! It is so amazing! Seeing Dean's reflection in the pictures/the computer. And when he sees/remembers from the warehouse. (The girl and the people hanging) The first time he saw those people hanging in his closet, I thought that they were actually there, hanging in his closet! I thought like, "what, the dude thinks he's normal, got a normal life, and then the poor kid goes off to find people hanging in his closet!?!" But then the girl was there, but then she was gone, and so were the people... Man... Aw, Dean continually broke my heart! Seriously, the first time I saw it, I cried straight thru the whole ep! From the first scene with Mary, and throughout. And occationaly I lughed. And then I cried again, then lauged, etc..such an emotional rollercoster for me this ep!I love it! I mean, the jokes were so great, and maybe, because it was so emotional, those tiny moments of humor just became all the more pleasant. But come on! "I can't believe were even related." ... "You're still my brother." "B1tch." "What are you calling me a B1tch for?!" "You're supposed to say jerk...nevermind."
And the end!!! Dude is actually apologizing to his imaginationary family (and he knows they're just his imagination) for not staying! And he's willing to kill himself for something he's 90% sure of! He had everything he ever wanted, but was 90% sure it wasn't really, so he killed himself! Or, he almost did, then they confirmed it was imaginary and tried to convince him to stay, and then he apologized and... And he "wanted to stay so bad"!!!
Obviously, I'm glad he didn't stay, and I appreciate all the crap that happens to them, coz the show wouldn't be what it is without it (the core of the show is to torture the main characters) but it breaks my heart every time! And there's the lawnmower scene!!!
And the graveyard scene! (had to be mentioned..)And I could go on, but I'll stop myself there
I LOVE THIS EPISODE!!!!!!!
The ep I wish I loved: The Rapture. I want to love this ep, but I can't. It just..it could have been so much more...Or maybe it was enough, but it could have been done so much better! I mean, it's a great story, and Misha is....well, he's Misha!
But the writing just... Especially some of the dialogues.. and some of the monologues aswell.. and just general conversations.. Some is good, but some just doesn't sit right with me. Also.. the guests could have been better. Actually, the girl, Claire (Not bothered to go find their names) she did a good job. She was just sort of there as Claire, she was an important, but not a very big character, but I felt she did Castiel justice. And that is not at all a bad accomplishment by a young girl
Amelia on the other hand.. Ok, to be fair, she was abit victimised by the bad writing I mentioned. It was especially the (first) dialogue(s) between her and Jimmy that felt odd to me (After he returned. Present time, not past.). I blame both the acting and the writing there.. The one when he is about to leave again, and she is sitting in the car, he's kneeling down outside the car, that one was nice tho
So yes, all in all a good episode, but it could have been done better. And I wish it had been done better. I can't fully enjoy it when I know it could have been so much better! And very easily so! And I wish Castiel/Jimmy/Misha could have gotten a really fabulous episode! Considered how big and important Cas/Misha is, both to the show and the fans, he should have gotten a truely fabuous ep! He had a great story, but, unfortunately, they just weren't able to execute it..
That's all I can bring to mind right now...
How excited are we tho!?!?!?!!?
I cannot wait!!!!! It's gonna be gooooooood!!!! I am fairly spoiler free, but the little bits and pieces that I know.. It's goona be gooood!!!
So excited!!
(Please go wild on the comments, but no spoilers
)
Stupid, stupid, stupid tv.com! Stupid A**!!
Argh!!!!! I am so freakin pissed at tv.com right now! I might be overreacting, but come on! I'm sure you are all familiar with the Facebook Connect thingy.. Well, I've been clicking Cancel, I don't even know how many times, but the stupid window keeps showing up, and today I accidently clicked Connect, realized it and immediately clicked Cancel, but too late. And now I'm stuck, coz this stupid site don't even have a freakin disconnect option!! Seriously!!!! Stupid freaking ass of a site! Seriously you guys, if it weren't for all of you, I'd be long gone! It's like the people behind this site are putting all their effort into draging all the fun out of this place! All was good before the changes started, why do they have to ruin everything! I am seriously tempted to leave. But I wont, coz I don't wanna leave my friends here, so... Again, I am staying here ONLY because of you guys. I will not let tv.com ruin the friendships it helped me create.
Edit: For the best kick, read thru this:
http://www.tv.com/tv.com-general-user-support/facebook-connect/topic/15904-1312911/msgs.html?msg_id=13419949#10
In short, tv.com is actually violating FB ToS by not providing a disconnection option. Also, they advised us to change our name on FB to make sure it doesn't suddenly show up all over this place ((I think, so far) it only shows at the top where my username is supposed to be, so only I can see it, but who knows if that'll last
), but even that is a violation on FB Tos. You're supposed to use your real name there. Not to mention, FB is for real life friends, not just for random online chatting, how are people supposed to find you on FB if tv.com is forceing you use a fake name!?
Hello!
Hello you all! I know, awesome title.. Ok, I'll just get on with it ![]()
I've started back at school. I'm at my nature/animal/agriculture school now.
Well, not right this second, I'm at home for the weekend, but yes. All week I'm staying at the school/dorm. It's fun. I like the school. It is exhausting tho. I don't really have much/any spare energy to be social after school, so that gets kind of boring..it's actually a lot harder to be anti-social when there are bunches of people running around right outside my window.... But I just gotta try and get into everything, learn how much I can take during a week, and so on.. So yep.. The actual school is pretty cool tho. I get to hang in the stable during school time
Also, I drove a tractor this week! That was pretty awesome. It was sooo slow tho! I walk faster than what I drove that tractor
But that's ok. It was an old tractor. And they're not made for fast driving anyway, they're made for working. Hard work.
I like tractors. I want a New Holland
The school don't have any of those (Tho there was one visiting one of the days) but they got several others, so, you know, it's cool
Otherwise.. I've only really been there for a week, so I'm not entirely adjusted yet. Will bring the rabbits there sometime next month I think. Beyond that, there's not really a whole bunch more to say on that... Except for this one really, really awesome thing that I am totally, completely, freaking excited about
One of the closest neighbours to the school has got an Impala!!!
I don't see the car/house from my room, and, seeing as it's a big school (you know, it's an actual farm, so they got quite a big area) closest neighbour isn't entirely close. Well, not far either, a few hundred metres. They gotta drive thru the school area to get to the main road tho, so, if I'm by the window, hear them coming, look out....
It's just annoying that 99% of the time it's not the Impala but some other car
One of the times I saw it drive by, despite the obvious differences to Metallicar, it was just like seeing Dean and Sam dring by! And the sun hit the car perfectly, it was so beautiful
Some day tho, I shall be lucky and actually be outside, about to cross the road myself (gotta cross the road to get from the dorm (and most other places) to the actualy school building) as the car drives by... I do have a plan tho, I'm gonna be there for 2 years, I got plenty of time, I am so gonna convince the dude to sell me the car!
It is not a total Metallicar double tho. It is black and gorgeous and well kept and all of that, but it's a drop-top and it is not a 67. I don't know exactly what it is.. Haven't seen it too close ( Was close enough to read MPALA on the side
That was the first time I saw it, we were out on a little sight-seeing and drove past the house), and I have to admit, my general Impala knowledge could be better... But it really does look like the Metallicar, so, based on what I do know, and Google Images, and the fairly little that I have actually seen of this particular car, I'm guessing on 66 (possibly 65, or some other year, but, based on the detailes that I know and love on Metallicar and the quick comparison I was able to do, I'm gonna put 66 as my official guess). Close enough. I am in Norway afterall, and the car is living right next to my school! What are the odds!?! ![]()
Another thing I'm excited about is: A1 is back!
Well, semi back anyway. For those of you who don't know them (wouldn't surprise me if none of you do
) they're a British boy band from late 90s to early 00s. I love them, I really do. They are still my faves
a1 is Ben, Mark, Paul and Christian (Chris is Norwegian btw, that's kinda fun. One of Norway's biggest/most selling artists
). They were formed in 99, released 3 albums, were huge in Europa and Asia, then they split in 02. Paul left first, then about a month later the rest of them decided to «take a break to work on solo stuff». That break has now lasted for almost 7 years. Chris has had success in Norway, 2 solo albums, plus a Christmas album. I don't remember exactly (don't pay much attention to the charts) but he's had at least one top 3 (think there was more than one), and several top 10 (singles and also the albums I believe). He has also been writing and producing for several other artists. Mark just released his solo album this summer. He's been doing a lot of writing (and producing I think) for bunches of other people aswell. Ben (my fave, I have to say
So he's the one I've been paying closest attention to. I keep up with the others aswell, and I kind of get some free info on Chris seeing as he's Norw, so that is always fun
) Yes, back to Ben. He released one single. It flopped. I do know which song he should have done instead, and that was supposed to be the next single, but then he broke with his label (he did that upto several times) so nothing more has happened on that front. He has also been big on writing and producing for others. They all do that. That is one of the reasons why I love them so much. They're not just some pretty guys thrown together, where half of them can't even sing but are there just to make it look like a band. For each of their albums they wrote or co-wrote most of/all of their songs, and played their own instruments. Not all (boy bands) got that quality. As for Paul, he was for a while in this cover band (they covered RHCP mostly), so he stayed with music aswell. Just in a smaller/less recognised way. Supposedly he left coz he was uncomfortable with the celebrity status. Also the reason why he's not on now with the comeback. I miss him too, tho...
Now, info on the comeback! It's not a comeback for sure (They say they don't wanna call it a definite comeback, tho they also (always have, and still) say they don't wanna rule it out completely. Then again, they also didn't call the split a split at first, they called it «break»
I stay optimistic, they have proven they don't always stay entirely true to what they say
) It is just a reunion, a 10 year anniversary. This summer they performed together as a1 for the first time in 6 years. They played on a Norwegian show. Coz they asked! The people from the show called Chris and he called the other guys and they just thought «Why not?», so they did it! And, despite all the time that had passed, and even the one member missing (they did perform a few times just the 3 of them back right before they split aswell but still), they claimed it felt like no time had passed, it just felt natural, and all the songs were still in their heads/fingers
And they enjoyed it so much, the guys were here for about a week (they were gonna do that anyway. They've been keeping contact and have visited each other several times over the years) and did some writing and stuff, and, they decided, to the total excitement from all their fans, to do 4 gigs in December! In Norway! And I might go!!!
And, you know, I got online friends from all over, who I met just because of a1, and might meet up with them..some of them.. There's this one chick in particular, I've been talking with her for years, she's from Holland, and she might come! I don't even know which I am more excited about! Seeing a1 or seeing her!

To continue my music talk, Good Charlotte are working on a new album aswell!
Well excited about that! I love those guys!
I think there's only like 2 songs out of their 4 first albums that I don't particularly like. All the others I like or love on some level. They are so wonderful!
They got amazing songs/lyrics and Joel and Benji got great voices, and they all seem to be genuinly nice guys all thru
I heart them.
And yes, there you got my top 2 within music. ![]()
TV! I am in the middle of rewatching SN before S5! Very excited!
I think I've decided on doing a SN blog once I'm done watching, do a rewiev of sorts of the first 4 seasons, coz this is getting long enough as it is, and I'm not done with S4 quite yet, so. And when I get done, S5 will be really, really close!
It already is really close but then it will be even closer! That will be so awesome!
Harper's Island: I am really slow at getting to this (even for me, as I finished about 2 weeks after the rest of you guys ) But you know, with everything that's been going on with the blogs and all.. And I promised Emiko I'd give her my thoughts, especially on the finale, so here it comes
(possible spoilers) : Basically, the show, thruout, it just got better and better. I LOVED ep 12. It was awesome! The end was the most fantastic thing ever! I mean, the whole, with Trish running thru the forrest in her wedding gown, that was gorgeous! I love that scene! And then, she runs into Henry, and then the whole revelation.. It was amazing. Incredebly well done. And I never, ever, not in a milloin years did I suspect Henry! Never! I thought, if anyone were to get out alive, it would be him, Abby, and maybe Trish...well.. I was kind of almost right...tho not right at all....
I started suspecting the sherrif (Jim!
) rather early. Until they started blaming him on the show, then I figured it wasn't him afterall. Didn't believe it to be Jimmy, but I did start to suspect Sully becoz of his total convintion(sp?) it was Jimmy. You know, like he was trying to hard to get everyone against Jimmy so that people wouldn't start questioning him. But then it was Henry. Again, I never saw that coming. After it finished, all I could do for several moments was to just sit and stare at the screen going «Wow...wow...Wow! ....wow...»
Ep 13... I was a little underwhelmed. Probably becoz of what happened in ep 12, so ep 13 kind of didn't have the same klimax.. I didn't really like the end.. I mean... Once it was all out in the open... and Henry started explaining himself etc...it kind of didn't make sense... It just....I dunno, felt weird... Obviously, the guy killed everyone so that he could be with his sister, still.
And him not killing Jimmy, that was random and unneccesary
So yea.. The show was good, the finale was not, but the second last ep was fantastic. ![]()
I only really liked one character here. It was kind of odd, seeing as I usually watch, at least partly, for the characters.. But here, the only one I actually liked (and him I really really really liked
) was Cal. He was so adorable! And his death was so heartwrenching! ![]()
Castle: (Kinda slow on this one also, tho I only finished a couple weeks ago) I really enjoyed that show! I've seen it now, over the summer, following the Norw TV schedule. I don't think I'll be able to wait for Norw tv for S2 tho!
Plus I want to rewatch...
I loved the Pilot. It kind of didn't really get much better, but it also didn't get worse. It evolved nicely. Excited for S2! I want more back story. Kate has really grown on me. I didn't not like he to begin with, but she has gotten so much deeper thruout the season. Rick is just..Rick
Alexis is probably the one who has grown on me the most. I still find it semi annoying with the, like, not at all rebellious teenage daughter vs her partying grandma. But they have sort of toned it down a little bit, it's more bearable now. And, like I said, Alexis has really grown on me, I like her now, and I love how they do her and Rick's relationship ![]()
And the finale! Man, I got so mad at them!! I was so ready to get some huge revelation, then *black!* Me: *.....Huh? WHAT! NO! Nooo no no no no!! :O :O :O That is so mean! That is so mean! That is like.... almost Kripke level!! :O :O :O * hahaha So yes, bring on S2! And, coz I'm lazy I'll just ask here so I don't need to go search for it
: Do any of you know when S2 starts? And how many eps will there be?
How I Met Your Mother: I really wanna see HIMYM. I don't know, I've only seen a few randoms eps, but the last couple of weeks I've been having these like withdrawls. It's weird
I am kind of in the middle of watching L&C and Heartland, but I had to pause them to get to SN, so maybe I'll just continue keeping them on hold, and start watching HIMYM just as I finish SN.. Or I'll watch all 3 shows at the same time, that works too (Possibly rewatch Castle also...
). All I know is I need to get to it soon
I have been thinking to watch it anyway, just didn't think I'd feel it like this, making me push other things aside to get to it
I saw Flight of the Phoenix last night. Was on TV. It was good. Jared wasn't in there a whole lot, he was there only to get lost really
I found that rather amusing, how he got lost, and the last bit we saw of him..all.. hah! If you've seen the movie, you know what I'm talking about
All in all, a good movie. Not a great movie, but a good movie. I didn't really feel any of the characters tho. Uhm..what's his name (see, I don't even remember his name, that's a great sign!),*looks it up* Elliott. He was kind of interesting. But not really. He was a bit odd. And then too odd. So yea.. I think they tried, a little, to provide some kind of connection to the characters but they failed. More or less. I mean, at the end, there was this far shot where all of them were shown, and I counted them just to see how many where there, coz I had no clue. That's about how fascinating they made their characters. Ok, enough with that. Despite the lack of fun characters, the movie really was good. The consept sounds kind of over-done and all, but it really could have been executed in a far more terrible way. It has been done in more terrible ways.
It was actually a pretty good version. It was kind of frustrating tho, coz everytime they (characters) got something right, made some improvement, got some hope, soething happened to put them back again. And again. And again.. Like I said, good movie, don't avoid it if you're a Jared fan just coz he's not in it much, coz it is still worth the watch. And if you're into House/Hugh Laurie, he's got a kind of big part. And those are the only two that I know from before. Enoguh.
On an entirely different level, Firefox has stopped working on my laptop
I love Firefox! I thought it was only at school, coz that's when I first had the problem, but now I can't get on here either
No way I'm gonna do with IE, so I'm on Opera for the time being. I miss the Firefox tho!
I gotta get it fixed. Probably take the lappy to the computer dude at school. Supposedly he's a genious. ![]()
To jump on something entirely different again: Election: Monday September 14th is the Norwegian election. Stortingsvalg. I suppose this is when I tell you about how things work in Norway?
We're very much like UK really. We do have a king, but he doesn't really have any political power, he's just got the title. His job is to represent Norway in other countries, go on official visits all around the world, and to visit places and organisations and stuffs in Norway. Our Parliament is Stortinget. That is where the prime minister and all the other ministers are sitting (or standing or whatever it is they do while they're at work.) (Also, if Misha was Norwegian, Stortinget would be where he'd be at when working as an intern
He would not stay at the prime-minister's house, he'd be at Stortinget
). They are the ones with the real power. Tho they can't really make any big decitions by themselfs either, it all goes thru the people, or at the very least thru lots of seperate divisions. So yep. More or less. I don't really care, nor know, too much on this really. Might show?
But, election is this year, I am old enough to vote this year, and I plan to do that. Only problem tho, I have no idea who to vote for! Politics bore me.. I mean, I know it is important, and I want to do my part, but I have never been able to pay attention, and I still can't. I'm trying, I actually sat down last week to catch a tv debate, but I zoned out all the time... I did find out who not to vote for tho, that's a start!
Also, I do have one «safety» lot(?) that I'm gonna vote for if I'm unable to make up my mind on a more constructive level. I might vote for them anyway, of course, but I just want to make sure I really do agree with them on as much as possible, and compare them to all the others etc. Make sure there is no other I should vote for instead.
Ok. I guess I have bored you enough for now.
