(Oops, I forgot I had a livejournal account)

Time for some updates ( and let it be some)...

I'm still a teacher. A theater of the Arts to be exact...Still working in the middle of nowhere, also known as Sheepsville. Still single and loving it. Um...I've been too busy with my Norwegian blog these months to update this one. I don't know how much more I will be posting on the site at all. I am hoping that I will pull myself together in some way and manage two blogs as the same time. But then again, that was my original plan when I first created it and look how well that went...

I am not thinking about deleting my account. I have to many precious LJ friends and I still comment on their LJ's. But I think the content on this one will be of a more subtle nature. At least until Christmas vacation kicks in. But it is Christmas in a months time, and miracles do happen...
But until then, I rest my case. No assembly required. This matter bares no further discussion.

Ciao!

Update time.

And so I'm done with yet another long day. Honestly, I think I am too eager and just plain silly in class. I don't know if the students think of me that way. But I try not to be too academic and express a certain authority so my responsebilities don't become harder than they are as of now. And at the same time by average and well...not freak the students out with my crazy uni talk and this "she-thinks-she's-better-than-us" attitude. I had this major plan of how things were going to go down in the first days before I left Trondheim. How well organized I would be and how the students would laugh at all my jokes and refer to me as "the funny teacher". I guess I expected too much. I have not acchieved any of my goals of yet. But I guess I just need some time. Come to think of it, they have laughed a little. But if they have laughed with me or at me is a different story I do not wish to start analyzing tonight. I need my sleep and since I live wall-to-wall with some Rock&Metal students, and even thought i LOVE the metal genres, I have a limit on just how much Borgir I can take before I go to sleep.

Going to Jønndalen the day after tomorrow and I am looking forward to a nice and different scenery than plain, white walls inside my room. Pictures will come when I've done some cleaning and gotten more colors on the walls.

Night.

[mood| excited, but a little scared at the same time.
[music| Kim Wilde - Keep me hanging on] Hey, don't judge me. Norwegian radio stations play all the forbidden songs

Why do I wait so long before updating every time?

Where to start? Hmm...Mahone icon! Whee! It's not everyday one can use the excited and the scared icon in one post but I have good reason to. I arrived at Darbu last night after a seven hour drive and my dad stayed the night in my room. An now he's left and I'm the only human being on campus. I have to school to myself. When you think about it it sounds pretty cool right? But if you keep thinking about it you soon find that the excitement turns to anxiety. I have to school to myself, damnit. I'm responsible! I'm in charge! The teachers who live nearby are still on vacation which means I have no idea when they're coming "home" so I can relax a little bit. I guess I have to settle for the old relaxation method of unpacking and studding tons of clothes into the closet. Which I have all to myself! Whee!

Mixed feelings here. Don't get me wrong. I love being back here and I look forward to tomorrow when the academic fun starts. Which in Darbu-speak translates as a kind of planning week along the teachers. I have prepared for a informative week. The pages are white are the pencils are sharpened, so are the ears.

I think I did underwent too much preparing in Trondheim. Reading the curriculum three times were probably not the best way to spend the summer :) But I was absolutely determined to do a good job here and I would hate to look like a amobea if/when the students start asking me questions about this and that. I have spent a year at uni! I should know the different stages of dramatic composition and the representation of the main elements of drama on the stage in all its forms and contexts.

Although I know that the schools prime goal is the artistic and creative develpment in its students, which means strickt academia is a big no-no, I still have a trick or two up my sleeve if the students do start to question my credentials or authority. Unlike the year at uni, I am not aiming to have some major, responsible fun.
And perhaps make up my mind to wether this is something I want to spend my life doing.

*le sigh* Closet needs filling...and I'll try to update as often as I can. But I already have my Norwegian blog to take care of and I don't have as much time as I'd like to. Most of the info will probably be through conversations on the phone with my mother and father, but hey, perhaps they can deliever the message onwards. I'll also try and take some pictures to show off my room and the campus. But if you search my blog you'll probably find some old Darbu-gooodness posts from when I was a student here, which seems like a million years ago. Now I' m a assistant teacher...and it feels great :D

EDIT: And just when I though I had left Richard and Schneider to themselves, Peaches comes along and invades my dreams making me talk in my sleep. Last night it was Mahone, now it's Richard. Perhaps I should consider myself lucky that my walls are more or less soundproof and I don't share my room with anyone :) I would probably freak them out. Probably as much as I freak myself out when I wake up in the middle of a sentence that doesen't mean anything.

I'm out.

Reality check: None

I love this song! Not to mention the guy who sings it. <3 One fine day, Bruce...

Anyways, I am really frustrated with my blogging. Nothing is happening in my life. Well, nothing exciting anyways. Details on my Norwegian blog

What's new? Well, I just celebrated my 21th birthday. Which I expected to set off this miraculous events of epiphanies, sudden realisations of great truths about myself that would answer every question I've had in mind the last twenty years (the earliest year does not count, seing that themind where somewhere else rather on my spiritual and physical being...and romantic life) I got lots of lovely surprises and fortunately a lot of envelope presents (money, yay!) which I would love to spend on

CANON DIGITAL REBEL. Gadget porn


iPHONE


GREEN CONVERSE (and I'm sure I would find a use for that tiara as well)

TATTOO. Something that has to do with lions. And genius Chris Garver would be doing the piece.


My original idea was this: Japanese symbol for purity/innocence with the leo on top. A kind of tribute to my "brave innocence" where the lion is a symbol of bravery and strenght and the Kanji symbol for either innocence or purity filing the tattoo out. What term I chose is based on what looks better in the back of my neck because I don't want to show off my tattoo. This tattoo is for me and represents something that has been such a huge part of my life, although I probably won't stay a virgin forever. The first image could be used as  well. It's Kanji for patience, which could translate as endurance, perseverance, fortutude or staying power.

The second symbol is Kanji for Loyalty. Loyalty to myself perhaps? Any ideas?

PRETTY POSTER (allposters.com)

BLEACHED TEETH

A PIANO ( yeah, like that's ever going to happen)

So, there you have it, my drear frends ( who have not yet bought me something :D) I'll finish this post off with movies I am dying to see, which I'm reccomending before watching them, becasue the books are nothing but brilliant. So while we're waiting, we could all go and read them (again).YAY!

Heath. A joker.

Hugh. A beast.

Robert. A vampire.

What more can one want? *drool*

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

2008-07-13T22:50:40Z

[mood| giggly]
[music| Until June - Sleepless]

Okay, the lady herself has just returned from the cinema after sitting through two and a half hours of...and I quote "A rousing fantasy adventure" (imdb.com). And I actually watched it with my mom. Needless to say, the conversation from the cinema to the car got pretty interesting between two people with entirely different relationships to the story and its plot. But nothing compared to the two girls in front of us in the ticket line who managed to say, after 1o minutes of quarreling about what movie they were going to see, finally came to an agreement. " Um...two tickets to Narnia 2"....WTF?!? Sometimes you just want to punch the ignorant people in the back of the head. Until you realize you suffer from a dangerously high amount of pride, turn around and walk away in shame.

Below the cut is my immediately thoughts after seing the movie.

WARNING: SOME SPOILERS BELOW! IF YOU HAVE NOT YET WATCHED THE MOVIE, AND YOU ARE PLANNING ON DOING SO, DO NOT CLICK ON THE CUT!

Ooookay, where to start? The movie did exeed my expectations to the maximum. Especially when it comes to how similar the book and the movie was. Hurrah!

- PRINCE CASPIAN (BEN BARNES): My first thought after watching the official trailer was that the director supposedly made a enormous spelling error in the movies' title and put "prince" instead of "princess", which would have been more than suitable.
Erm, Ben had an convincing accent, not to mention wonderful facial expressions in the revenge scenes, mixed with the soundepartments decision to cut all sound during the most intense scenes. It was an unexpecting choice, contradictory to what they did in the first movie. But, on to Caspian. Ben himself have said, prior the movie release, that he based the whole character of Caspian on Englands prince Harry. Em...I've always thought of Edmund as prince Harry.
Indeed, Ben gave the role a fair amount of charm and grace, not to mention teh sex. Caspian was, in his more masculine scenes, very sexy. Which seemed to be the conclusion of every sighing fourteen year old girl the cinema had to offer.
But he was too pretty to play Caspian. Whenever he appeared at screen I imagined he was standing on the beach beneath the ruins of Cair Paravel, wearing nothing but a speedo, with a shampoo bottle in his hand, saying in that sticky accent: "I am Prince Caspian. Try my new all-shine-shampoo. Reveal the prince in you! (Venus)" with the Maybelline sound in the background. "Maybe he's born with it" Which made the idea even more perfect, since you can interpret way too much into that form the books plot.

- SUSAN PEVENSIE (ANNA POPPLEWELL): ...you have done soooo much better! And pick someone your own age...Ew...Caspian is just a baby...;D

- THE SOUNDTRACK: Harry Gregson-Williams has done it again! Even with the original melodies, he has mixed everything together in a stew of brilliance, creating new pieces which are schemingly unpredictable but strangley familiar. The music made the hairs in my neck stand in attention throughout the whole movie. (Stew of brillinace? Note to self: Have to read through the Oxford dictionary (uni version on a more regular basis))

(SIR) REEPICHEEP: Due to my wish to keep the mystery surrounding this movie, I decided to not check out the cast before seeing the movie. The moment Reepicheep opened his mouth, I cried out "Eddie Izzard!!!" Can this movie get any better? Yes...
I am certain Izzard got in on creating Reepicheeps lines. Because it was like hearing Izzard speak. :)

KING MIRAZ ( SERGIO CASTELLITTO): A perfect blend of arrogance and doubtful looks...pure perfection. I have to admit that Miraz was one of the characters I had highest expectations to. Although he's a bastard, he's got such depth and they picked just the right actor to portay him. I have never heard of this actor before and the same went for most of the Telmarinian lords. They all surprised me with their beliavable acting opposed to most of the actors I knew. Like Popplewell and Mosley.

- BADGER, BADGER, BADGER, BADGER, BADGER, BADGER !!!

- For Narnia!!! For Aslan!!! For freedom!!! For the love of God, could the writers put something a little more original in the next script?!?

- Trumpkinlove!!!

All in all, worth spending the whole of your childhood reading, two and a half hours watching and spending money you don't have on chocolate you shouldn't eat. Looking forward to The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Only two more years!

Lookie here, here she comes! Here comes that girl again!

[music| Sid Vicious - Something else]

Yes, she is back. Alive and well. And with a new header and impressed she used only ten minutes to color co-ordinate the CSS codes, hence the squeeing because of the Mahone (godgiven angle from above) icon,
I forgot to put a watermark on it but you know the rules. You steal any of my design, you perish, due to a mysterious hard shovel blow to the back of the head.The new header features the most intriguing characters of the Godchild manga. Dr. Jizabel Disraeli, Count Cain, Mary Weather and Viola. So underrated one could cry, and one should, although I do cry because I left out Riffael, Alexis and Cassian. Shame on me.

Anyways, I've been gone for quite some time. Due to a lot of changes in and outside my life. I've lost some friends and gained some new ones, I've lived in an illusion and been too much of a realist, postivity or negativity, all is fair in love and war, the concepts have been synonymous for quite some time. I've really needed some time off to think things through.
And when I think I have some manner of control something else happens, which was not under my control, and I feel helpless yet again. This have been my status for the situation for the past month or so, and needless to say that my mood has been as shifty as a temperamental as a ferret in heat. To anyone who've might suffered through this "phase", I do apologize.

Too much has happened in such a short time. But I have realized that cutting all contact with the outside world is impossible. Now, I am trying really hard to put everything behind me. I want to feel happy again. But my problem is that I think way too much. I always analyze every situation to the point of insanity, which often leads to sleepless nights, a lot of migraines and a lot of unnecessary tears.

But I am back, and I am looking forward to update once more and get back to my old self...in time. And yeah, my computer is infected with spyware in various shapes and colors.

Happy thoughts ( because we all need some of them in times of exams)

2008-04-05T13:05:52Z

I am happy today.

Well, mostly because I applied some months ago for a drama scholarship at the Folk High School I attended last year. And wouldn't you know, I got it! As of August, I am an serving drama teacher! This is of course another step in my training but is the perfect preparation for my second year subjects at the uni. I don't feel like it's my goal to educate the students, learning the stuff I learned at school. I feel that it is my responsibility to guide the students in the creative process, to help them. To teach would, in my opinion, be nothing more than artificial reproduction of objective material. I'd like to focus on each student individual and collective progress and development both in a social and creative environment. I just think of how much I developed and how more conscious I became of myself and the world around me when I was a student there. I hope I can "learn" as much from the students as they can learn from me. That is probably one of my more healthier attitudes :)

I have been emailing with the principal for a while now and I was so surprised that the whole staff wanted me back! I am curious to find out what the principal and the other teachers define as being a scholar. I have my own definition. But I am excited to find out what they demand of me compared what I expect and demand of myself.

I will be working alongside the regular ( the real and fully educated) drama teacher, which I know very well. This goes for all the teachers at the school and the social environment as well. The school is in Oslo, so I have to move quite far I think it'll be good for me to get away for a while and focus on something else. So much have been happening these last few months...but this is a happy thread, so I'll leave that for later :)

I can't wait to start! I have already began the preparations! I have so many ideas!

New layout and morning thoughts

2008-04-05T02:02:34Z

[mood| tired]
[music| Deadwood]

I have finally completed HP-DH. Not that it was such an exceptionally long book but I didn't have time to read it during daytime. So when I finally got to open it and dive into the story, I was dressed and ready for bed. No need to say that I read the night away and my concentration for the next day at the uni. It feels good to be subjective.
After I was finished I grabbed a hold of a notebook and wrote down everything that was going through my mind. And I decided to post it here since...well, just because I feel like it. And to you, honorable spoiler bastards, who completely ruined the experience for me, here is what you should do NEXT time.

03.44 AM

My first impression after I turned the last page was that I had just finished a rather modern Shakespeare tragedy. Of course the wizard deaths ( of which there were too many on both sides) didn't quite occur by themselves. Most of them were accidents...blah, I hate accidents.

I've never grown fond of Bellatrix. She's wasn't too insane. She's wasn't too much of a slut for power. She was just too selfish for my taste. And proud of it. But then again, most death eaters are, aren't they? I did know that Bellatrix was going to die. How or by who's hand I didn't know. That was the small amount of excitement I had left when I read it. This account for Snape as well, but I'll get to that later, Phew, Mrs. W rocks. Seriously. A revenge kill is the best one to read about and I think it's probably most "fun" to write as well. And my, what language in the send off process! Come to think of it, Bellatrix should have gotten a more painful death. That's just me.

Dobby's death; indeed unexpected but not regrettable. Short, innocent and annoying, preferably separated, he harvested no major affection from me. Main reason why I don't like Hermione either. This is the one character I thought Rowling would cut from the plot after COS.

To claim the life of both Tonks and Lupin were brutal and just cruel. And this after she'd brought little Teddy into the plot, just so that Harry might serve as a renegade godfather of the orphan boy, Hmm...where have I heard this story before? Do I smell another concept? Don't tell me it will all happen again. I miss the Lupe. Although I was never the biggest worshiper of the Tonks/Remus ship, I felt that it was wrong to kill the both of them, Yes, if one of them had to die, I would have preferred Tonks. But now I have to think in a new and loving perspective considering the newborn that came into play.

The epilogue was totally unnecessary. Let it be said that I never opposed the Harry/Ginny relationship. But come on...Albus Severus? Snape would have been so proud...No doubt that the kid will have to BEG the sorting hat to place him in Slytherin just to have the slightest chance to gain some respect. Being the kid of the previous student who saved the world ( with an A in History of Magic, proving once and for all that it depends to be street smart, unless you want to be stamped as the fuzzy haired sidekick-kid), will not be enough. Anyways, I do think Rowling would have been better off not revealing his future and giving the readers the chance to continue their interpretation based on all the books.

Before I started reading reading this, as I've already mentioned, I had had my fair share of spoilers. The biggest of course, the my all time fav Snape, had to die.
Deviantart was swarming with pictures of him and Lily in assorted romantic scenarios. So, that kinda ruined the whole flashback, which was awfully long.
And as I've mentioned previously, I did know that Snape was going to die, I did not know HOW or WHO killed him, although I had my suspicions. I knew he would turn out good in the end. And who would kill him if not Voldy?
And of course, the "Severus, please" line of Dumbledore's is HBP gave it all away. That was planned to an uncensored degree. So I pretty much had the thought of the good Snape in my head while reading DH, which with Rowlings fantastic portray of human psychology, created an exciting contrast.

Although I had hoped he would die, Harry did prevail as I expected. Hurrah for colorful magical combat! I was a little disappointed that the fight didn't last that long. Seeing I read my way through six books and 600-something pages to get to this final point. Come to think of it, I'm kinda happy that Rowling decided to keep it short. Any artist who dares to more away from the conventional, orthodox structure, what we as readers expect, is worth a pat on the back.

Just worthy of mentioning; The silver doe. Snape. I had a hard time placing the concept of patronus and Snape in the same context. I now imagine him running through the forest singing: " Doe, a deer. A female deer!" *shudder*

Hmmm...old Dumby was gay. Who knew?

Killing Fred was possibly one of the most vile choices this author made. And I know she will be deeply hated for it. First of all, hasn't that family suffered enough?
Was this the price to be paid so that Percy was allowed to come home and take his rightful place? A new one's coming, an old has to go. Neither can live, while the other survives? I state it once and for all, Fred over Percy anytime.

I was surprised after the encounter with the one and only Oliver Wood ( be still my heart). I thought I might never hear form him again! And he didn't die! Yay! Although killing Colin Creevey was incredibly stupid!

Draco...where to begin? The guy is brilliant, if you overlook the fact that he, in addition to Harry, is incapable of naming his own sons properly. I have never been fond of family reunions, but the scene with Luci&Cissa running about the castle searching for him, brought some kind of warmth in me. They're actually human after all...I had difficulties deciding how i felt about him. Is he evil, i he good? I think that the most unflawed person has a little bit of both.
I could go on about Draco all day but I am tired.

I knew that Ron/Hermione were going to happen, seeing it was what the public wanted. Can't friends just be friends? This was the one relationship I had put my foot down on from the moment the hints stared appearing. I can tolerate a fling, maybe a heavy make out session in a state of absolute panic and desperation but NOT marriage, and definately not kids!

But lo, the second favorite death eater, Fenrir Greyback did not die! He got to play until the bell rang ( yup, Fenrir is my bitch for life. Which makes sense, seing he's going to be locked away for that amount of time) I was a little disappointed that he didn't get to chew ( I am conscious of my concept usage and resent using words like "taste" or "play") on Hermione a little bit. I'd been looking forward to that! Every animal needs his treats after doing his tricks. How else can you tame them?

Lavender Brown. No comment. At least Ron's safe.

See? Not so complicated, is it?

Just like antiquewritings , I've fallen for the LJ lists, too, and started using smaller text...:D Oh yeah, I live the most exciting life...The purpose for this list is to watch 500 Tv-episodes, 100 movies and read 25 books. With weekends like this, I have no problem watching lots of episodes. Books will be the hardest, if I can't add the books on my curriculum to this list. Are they supposed to be books we WANT to read...? Anyways, I have a feeling that I am going to love finishing this.

Two texts to share on a Sunday evening...

2008-03-09T22:10:36Z

I bought a book before the weekend and I've spent it reading...I adore this book by all my heart. It's so honest, direct and let's face it revealing to the point of unbelievability. The texts I want to share with you, are in Norwegian and I don't have any plans to translate them just yet, since the author's first and prime target, are us Norwegians...Norway is the greatest country to live in? Been voted the greatest country in the world? Read the book and understand why whoever gave us this title, never did.

<3<3<3 Credo

La oss knulle hverandre til vi ligger langflate grøftelangs og hikster i veikanten. La oss ha gledesstrålende orgieritualer og seriesamleier, som om morgendagen bringer impotens og overfølsomhet til alle.
Glem verdiene fra oppveksten, glem at du var mammas lille gutt eller jente. Ikke tenk på at besteforeldrene dine var gift i 50 år. Det gir deg bare dårlig samvittighet uansett. Drikk bøttevis på forhånd slik at du slipper å lete etter en kjemi som passer, men kan begrense behovet til noen du passer inn i, slik at vi kan ligge på hverandre som Legoklosser og pese, kreve og prestere nok til å beholde selvtiliten dagen etter. Ikke at det spiller noen rolle - så lenge du var flink og utholdende og aktiv og skikkelig mens det stod på. Fortell hvordan det var til vennene dine dagen etter. Legg gjerne på litt, og fortell endelig navnet på den du lå med, dersom du vet det, da. Da spiller det ingen rolle at dere var to om å glemme for en liten stund, glemme at alle er helt alene i verden, for det blir du greit nok minnet på to timer senere uansett.
Ingenting er behageligere enn å kunne sitte på et utested og si at han har jeg pult, eller hun var kjedelig - omtrent som en sekk med grøt. For intimitet gjelder aldri etter at dere har stått opp.
Og minnene du ble opplært til å tro skulle være spesielle, når ikke en gang opp til dem du knytter til den første kalde halvliteren etter en lang uke. Den skyller i det minste bort smaken i munnen av tomhet, følsomhet eller kanskje til og med kjønn - dersom du var ute på torsdag også. Etter fire - fem doser er vi klare, klare for å begynne på`n igjen. Som små hvite mus i et løpehjul, iført fransk åpning og ståkukk - jo hardere vi strever, jo mer må vi løpe fra alt, på jakt etter mer. Før eller senere faller vi av, noen illusjoner fattigere. Med holdninger vi skal overføre til en ny generasjon. Besteforeldrene våre var gift til de døde. Mutter'n og fatter'n ble skilt etter tre år. Vi er aleneforeldre som puler med alle. La oss glede oss til neste generasjon...(Karlsen et al. 2006:75)

[ for all del, la oss holde på denne illusjonen av glede. Om at kanskje denne generasjonen vil skrape opp de bitene av forrige generasjons sosiale bunnslam, og safte deres erfaringer for å bygge en ny sivilisasjon...Det lukter moral og verdier lang vei. Yeah right...keep dreaming]

Helg

De fleste gleder seg til helgen. Mange benytter anledningen til å plukke dressen og finkjolen ut av skapet. Nå er helgen vanligvis ikke tilden for å tenke på barna i Afrika. Men la oss bruke et par minutter på det likevel.
I løpet av en helg konsumeres det rundt 200 000 liter øl i Norge. 150 000 av dem blir drukket på restaurant til en snittpris på - tja, la oss gi en tilbudspris her - 38 kroner for en halvliter. Det tilsvarer 11,4 millioner. I tilegg kommer 86 000 liter vin, hvorav halvparten drikkes ute til ca. 250 kroner per flaske. 30,7 millioner kroner. La oss til slutt toppe dette med 38 000 liter sprit på bar - og hjemmefronten, til en samlet pris av 41 millioner - og vips, så har vi drukket opp 82,1 millioner kroner på en helg. Når vi da tenker på at det koster hundre kroner å holde liv i fem mennesker i Sudan i èn måned, blir det tyve kroner per person for èn måneds liv. Dermed kan vi konkludere med at vi denne helgen drikker opp 4 150 000 menneskeliv bare på bar.
Dersom vi plusser på det vi drikker hjemme, kan vi plassere ytterligere 600 000 mennesker i grava. Men så er det jo også rasende billig å drikke hjemme i stedet for på pub. Da har vi enda ikke tatt med taxi-, mat - og inngangspenger. La oss for eksperimentets skyld at hver person bruker to hundre kroner - i tillegg til at han eller hun drikker. Og vi kan basere oss på statistikk som viser at det er minimum 150 000 av oss som er ute hver helg. Sannelig min hatt om det ikke utgjør 30 millioner kroner det også.
Da har vi altså drukket opp 6 605 000 mennesker bare på èn helg. Dette er før vi tar fatt på årsstatistikken - la oss nå si at denne helgen drikker vi litt mer enn vanlig, derfor koster vi på oss en del frihelger. Av 52 helger kan vi regne med 40 av dem, selv om tallet trolig er langt høyere. Konklusjonen er at vi minimum drikker opp 264 200 000 mennesker i løpet av ett år. Da har vi drukket opp hvert eneste menneske i Norge, Sverige, Danmark, Finland, Island, Nederland, Belgia, Sveits, Tyskland, Spania, Portugal, Irland, Skottland, Bulgaria og Frankrike. Samt alle på Malta.
Dette altså dersom vi legger regnestykket på et menneskeliv i Sudan til grunn. Akkurat nå går det mennesker der nede med de samme tankene og drømmene som du og jeg, og for hverhalvliter vi drikker i kveld, kunne to av dem vært reddet.
Ha en god helg (Karlsen et al. 2006:77)

[music| "Phone", one of my favorite Korean horror movies]

Well, my poor Richie had to go. I replaced him with a scene from "Sweeney Todd" featuring Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter. It turned out okay, I guess although I would have loved to make one in colors. But as of now, It's pretty much like the last one. Since I don't want to change my layout colors yet, I have to make my banners synchronize with the journal colors. And I have to remind people again; DO NOT STEAL MY BANNER.
Thank you.

Starting a new assignment on drama pedagogic soon. Perhaps I should work some on the stuff in my sidebar. The border of my fandom icons turn out blue in Internet Explorer, while they remain brown in Firefox. Hm...I guess it's safe to say that my site is best viewed in Firefox...

Ranting now...

[music| Broken Sword Game Rip - Chapter 9: Return to Paris

Ze updates...

* Gotten myself two new icons. Both from Hellsing volume 4 Integra orders Seras to lick her finger after she cuts herself. Through her gloves! Ooooooh, I am so anxious to find out how Victoria Harwood and Yoshiko Sakakibara interpret that scene if it appears in the Ultimate Hellsing vol.4. It has to! And speaking of Hellsing, I`ve just discovered 9 glorious parts of Hellsing ultimate English cast panel on YouTube. It features most of the actors from the series. Why do I watch this, you ask? I happen to more than often prefer the original Japanese audio, because I`ve seen my fair share of BAD English dubbing. Well, the English cast for Hellsing is just awesome. The Japanese is a little bit better, but it is a worthy adaption of the Japanese audio. It`s really worth taking a look...You`ll never want to miss Josh Phillips` ( Jan Valentine) impersonation of Integra..."They`re eating my people..." with Ralph Lister ( Walter) adding ..."why the fuck are they eating my people?" And if you've ever heard Crispin Freemans ( Alucard) SUPER SUPER SUPER line, please watch these clips. And the best part of it all; hear Jan Valentine say inn an old, Italian accent: shut the fuck up you god-damned son of bitching fucking kids before I stab your eyes out with a pencil" by request from an overeager spectator. I'm so glad I go this series for Christmas.

*...and oh my god...my cat actually snores...loudly! Her snoring actually reminds me of my grandmother.

* My dad have managed to find suitable homes for all the kittens. The house is so quiet now...I really miss them.

* I got an A on my History of Theater/understanding of genres exam...which should just not happen. I never thought it was possible to get a top grade in your first year. This was just the motivation I needed before starting my second term. And I passed both my ex.phil and ex.fac...

* I've finally found Lion King SNES and Lomax game rip on the net. It's unbelievable, I tell you. I thought they both were extinct...I only had the PC rip of LK ( yeah, I am squeemish with geeker-joy)
*Um...I noticed that the gymnasium in my elementary school has changed its curtains...oh, I need a life...

Which brings me to the third part of "my list". I`m not even sure what I should call it now...The "bed- fun- list" in every sense you want to interpret it. I just think it is fun to put my imagination down on paper. Warning: May contain unflattering angles, comments and perspectives. And if there might appear some pictures of women on this list I want to make this clear once and for all, I am not bi. I have never been and I never will be. I did note that you can interpret this list as you want. I, on the other hand, interpret the list quite different. So there.
WARNING: Image heavy!

What's funny is that I seem to notice the "little people in the background" rather than the major protagonist during movies and television shows. What's good about it, is that I get them all to myself ( and not having to plow my way through massive amounts of fans to get to them), but the catch is that I don't have anyone else to rant and squee with than myself. It often gets boring, one way tracked and in most cases, leads to lists like these. But I will still try to present my thoughts the best way I can.

Ralph Lister: Really goes without saying doesn't it? The English voice of Walter in the Hellsing animè series.

"I'd recommend pissing yourself. And of course praying to your impotent God..." :D

Øystein Karlsen: For any Norwegian who've watched the " 7 Deadly Sins" with Krisopher Schau, Morten Ståle Nilsen and the delicious Karlsen. What's so special about this man, you ask? Well, he's (only) 35, single, owns 29 suits ( I can't even begin to describe how yummy he looks in them. I will try to cap something off my DVDs later), has a deep and rich "narrator-voice". The kind of guy who could make millions reading books on tape. He is deliciously malevolent with an incredible entertaining laughter...You learn so much from commentary tracks...
Throughout the first part of the series he also has a "soul patch", a small patch of beard on the center of his chin. I've never been a fan of it, but he actually makes it look pretty tasty! He's managed the impossible! And surprisingly enough, he has a tan throughout the whole show...Hmmm...some men are too worthy...I managed to cap some few pics of him from my DVD`s last night. The more entertaining moments. I've also found some pics on the net from "reliable sources"...I've also managed to get a hold of a ticket for a show Schau and Karlsen are holding in Trondheim due to the DVD release. YAY! And Schau's clothing style have really began to inspire me...O.o

Karlsen (left) and Schau. I was going to warn about explicit content but I figured it was no need unless I told you what he's actually eating here...

while he was still working in radio...before he got fired...*hush*...such good influence on today's youth...I strongly recommend listening to "Finns diary" on NRK3 if you ever get the chance ( and if you speak Norwegian of course)...

watch the episode and you will understand...

Kristopher performing his last show as the extraordinary "Forhoudini" - the great cock show. Under appreciated art...

Grrr...I am no good at capping. I didn't manage to capture the "real him" Oh well...and now fore some shots of the entire group de brilliancè.

...okay, enough of that...moving on.

James Spader: I've been listening to one of my friends prattling about this guy for ages. So I decided to check him out myself. When I actually saw him on screen I noticed I'd seen him in lots of films. The last film I saw him in was "Crash" where he got a little too friendly with Deborah Kara Unger. It's a small world. I am never watching "Boston Legal" again...

Alexis Denisof: I found my Angel season 1 DVD the other day, which I have been looking for for ages. So, I pretty much spent the next three night watching all the episodes. And long story short...well...(Ps. I included Spike in my last post so quit yet whining...you know who you are...;D)

"Wesley Wyndam-Pryce, Rogue Demon Hunter, and I'm here to fight you, sir, to the death...preferably yours."

[REF: You're beginning to see a suit-pattern here...?" Tihii)

Sarah Connolly: My favorite mezzo soprano. Her technique is flawless, breathtaking...simply fantastic. All images taken from her performance as Guilio Cesare at the Glyndebourne Opera Festival. A fantastic performance out on DVD NOW!

Sir Intergra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing: Do I even need a reason at all?

Mikael Persbrandt: This man has one thing in common with Stephen Fry, Alan Rickman and Jeremy Irons. You could listen to him read from the phone book for hours. And yeah, a descent actor as well. The one difference is that he's a bastard...In spite of that, he still was voted "Man of The Year" by Sweden's most popular magazine. The ignorance of some people...

Asia Argento: Not only does she have a genius for a father but her beauty is astonishing.

Hermann Sabado: Norwegian actor who played Alan Strang in the Norwegian version of Equus.

Timothy Olyphant: Deadwood, Die Hard 4, Hitman...hmm...interesting titles...somehow they all...converge...

Ben Wishaw: Portrayed Jean Baptiste from The Perfume in the movie with the same name.

Sweeney Todd ( the character, NOT the actor. I repeat, THE CHARACTER) Wonderful movie. Tim Burton never ceases to amaze me.

There's a hole in the world like a great black pit, and it's filled with people who are filled of shit, and the vermin of the world inhabit it...

...AND BECAUSE I'M TIRED OF POSTING PICTURES NOW...HERE'S THE REST OF THE LIST:
-Ian McShane
-Powers Boothe
-Stephen Dorff
-Christian Slater
-Antonio Banderas

I`m sorry about the write text but my codes are screwing up. The text is supposedly green ( as you can see below) but then again...meh...

In my previous list I posted a picture of one of a music student who my class and I spent a week with when I was in High Shcool. When I log onto Facebook, I see that one of my uni teacher has joined the "Andreas ******* in momoriam". He's dead...? Why...? How...?
I do not know how he died but as far as I'm concerned, it doesn't matter. A great voice and a rich personality has left this world and I am at a loss for words. Although I didn't have a chance to know him that well, I was still captured my his spirit and his presence. He had the most glorious voice. At least I have a cd with two recordings of him that I begged one of his friends to send me. He was 27.

May he rest in peace. :(

[music| Hellsing OST - Requiem for the living]

I remember watching the Hellsing anime series when I was in High School, but I never figured I would come across a site that had all the episodes available for FREE. I don't understand the whole fuzz with Arucard ( by the way, isn't it supposed to be Alucard? Or is it the way japanese seiyu talk? They also add the -o at the end, so it becomes Arucardo. I'll never understand that language). I mean, he's got a killer outfit and great hair ( that stay perfect even after a half night's fierce battle in the Tower of London), but I just end up annoying myself green over him. I really think a little modesty would suit him better. You're Intergras bitch, so behave...

Ah yes, Integra...I didn't recall her being quite so hot when I first saw the series but I have to admit, after seeing it a second time that I've totally fallen for her. She's drop dead gorgeous! ( okay, I rarely fall in love with anime heroins, so this is a special character) Posting some pictures of her underneath the cut, so you can gaze upon the female wonder and drool. ( Obviously the images below contains SPOILERS. You see, Deathly Hollows spoiler bastards...is not that difficult to warm about them!)

Guess you were expecting something else, huh? I adore androgynous heroins. There's just something about them...

Yes...she smokes. Small, brown cigars. Oh, the endless style of it all...

Try and ignore the lucky purple creature, Incognito.

She's got such authority and control...even in life threatening situations! <3

And, at last, the 13 year Integra ( in a skirt [insert shock icon here]) rounds up the evening by giving us the "aaaaaaw" factor.

I am highly tempted to post the "oh-you-weren't-really-my-sister-after-all" seduction and hostage scene, but if I'm going to be able to sleep tonight, I think I might save them for another time :)
And just for the record; I am actually following the stories, rather than pointing out gorgeous men; in this case women, left and right. So, there. The defense rests.

[music| Wierd flute music ]

Okay, if you are going to watch one historically incorrect, 50% badly acted, badly directed and not to mention endless scenes of terrible dialogs, which [...] the paper it's written upon isn't worthy to wipe my ass ( Geoffrey Rush as the Marquis De Sade, 2001:Quills), watch the 1996 movie version of Marquis De Sades life. Which cleverly enough is entitled...The Marquis De Sade. Oh, how original! This will be a long rant so I hope you`ll stay with me in my state of momentarily logical blindness due to this rare piece of extraordinary crap ever to be captured on film.

First of all, the acting was BAD. Apart from Nick Mancuso who plays the lead, which I consider be the remaining 50% of descent acting in a 40 piece cast ensemble, you can do nothing but laugh as the rest of the struggling actors and actresses try to imitate states of fear, sadness and above all sexual ecstasy. In which they fail...big time...This kind of acting is what brings the sensory, artistic and fictional levels to shame...I didn't even know that was possible. One example; Janet Gunn, who plays the female lead. Gorgeous outfits and lovely wigs, but obviously got the lead because of her two illustrious and voluptuous benefits...The director failed to notice her obvious speech impediment as well. She continuesly says "Monsieur De Sod" instead "De Sade". Why don't you dance on his grave while you're at it...And by the way...you're supposed to play dumbstruck and disgusted like the aristocratic and pure personality your character has, when the Marquis does obscene hand gestures towards you, not play hard to get. It is true that throughout the movie you will develop stronger feelings for him ( oopsie...spoiler!) but you do not need to rub yourself against the bars of his cell during the your FIRST meeting. It's just not natural with the way you were brought up...By the way, that was major rubbing. The Marquis has a fair chance to indirectly shag you through the fabric of his waaaay too tight breeches. Seeing certain aspects of the male anatomy moving though a tight fabric is not what I prefer to see on an actor who's just passed 48...(that goes for Bowie in Labyrinth as well) But Nick's acting really stands out among the cast of monotony sheep. I won't say his performance is breath taking, neither is it excellent but compared to the others, his portrayal of a mans corruption of proper young ladies, is both chilling and psychologically sickening. He plays his part well. He has the right devious smile and the right piercing eyes, but compared to Geoffrey Rush's outstanding portrayal of the same character in the movie Quills from 2001, the performance is average. He kinda reminds me of James Hook from Peter Pan as well. Now that I think about it, the resemblance is uncanny...Freaky...*June imagining Hook and Peter Pan in Philosophy in the budoir * Yikes...And not to mention that half of the actresses were dubbed with überamerican accents because of the original audio was not understandable...

The script...my my my...where do I begin...? This brings me to the female leads name; Justine...who in the midst of the plot is trying to find her sister Juliette. Absolutely no reference to the two books...[insert witty sarcasm icon here] Stick to one story, please...Oh, and there are these unbearable questions from Justine when the Marquis is telling his story...2 minutes into his story we know that the actress he is pleasuring himself with is Justine's sister and after an inscrutinizing 15 minutes of the other sister playing the hard to get game as well, Justine looks up from a veil of tears with an incredible monotone voice and facial expression..." That actress...was my sister, wasen't it..?" Well, DUH...! We even knew that it was your sister when the Marquis asked you to dictate his sixth chapter " The Seduction of an actress"

What else...? Oh yeah, John Rhys-Davies is in this one. Eh, no biggie...After watching LOTR beforehand, his performance cannot be described as anything but boring...He is meant to portray crazy little dwarfs or narrate Discovery Channel documentaries, not authority figures.

So, in conclusion...If you have a proper insight in the Marquis` history and literature ( which means that it's not enough to watch two, three movies about him), please do not watch this movie, you will come manically depressed...as I am...But to cheer myself up, here are some quotes from the man himself...

"I find pleasure in humiliation. No other thrill is quite so forbidden as profaning that which is sacred..."
"Pain is remembered long after pleasure is forgotten"
(when asked about love, wrote) " Love...that is a word that is truly obscene. Love is what we aspire to but never acchieve. Love is an illusion. The most we can hope from life is passion"

Oh, be still my heart :D

And before you all start calling me a sadist, no, I do not practice nor fantasize about the practices he preaches about in his fiction. But then again, what I practice or fantasize about is and has never been any of your buisness, so cool down ( blah, the italic button is screwing up YET again)

H A P P Y H A L L O W E E N !!!

In honor of that I`d like to present my new favorite villain ( although he proves good in the end) And he had these "human fangs" as well, that emerged every time he got mad. How can you not adore him...? " I don't LIKE food, I LOVE it. If I don't LOVE it, I don't SWALLOW"...The pure articular genius of Peter O` Toole.

Arg, the frustration. Why couldn't they keep him evil...? Because its Disney... Anyways, behave during you trick&treating or i will send him after you...( and he will unleash his awesome and terrible power....and you don't want that...!) Ref. "The Road to El Dorado"

I hate exams. I really do.

Snagged from aquila0212

Comment and I'll give you a letter. You have to list 10 things you love that begin with that letter. After, post this in your journal, and give out some letters of your own.

I got the letter "M"

1. Mom - Don`t really have to explain this, now do I? Just hoping you`re reading this.
2. Mann gegen Mann - One of the best Rammstein songs EVER.
3. Metrosexual man - My own caption creation and Richard Kruspes (evil) alter ego. I love him. Hair gel for all! I might consider reposting his adventures on LJ if interested.
4. Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus- Genius man, genius music, genius attitude.
5. Music - In general, most of it.
6. Men - Gotta hate them, gotta love them
7. Marquis De Sade - The writer of my heart
8. Mahone, Alexander - Be still my heart...!
9. "My family" - The best British sitcom
10. Muraki - My favorite anime villain.

* Started reading HP Ootp again, so I can begin on Hbp soon. Unfortunately some carefree spoiler people revealed THE secret in DH, so no fun in taking up the last book.

* Got both my ex.fac and my ex.phil assignments approved. Now I just have to wait for the "big bad" aka. History of Norwegian Theater approved.

Other than that, no news...

Remember how Richards voice makes me giggly? And guess what I found when I opened my mailbox today? The EMIGRATE cd I ordered from play.com!!!!!! *does the Flake happy dance*
The confusing thing is that I ordered the edition with two bonus songs but I got the normal edition with just 11 songs. Hmm...But anyways, it`s Emigrate!!! *head banging*

Going with my theater class to see Equus tonight and I am really looking forward to it, but now I`m writing on my History of Norwegian Theater assignment. Fuuuuun...Especially when one of the formal demands are 400 words pr. page...

Frau Schneider...grrrrrrrrooooowl.....;) I can only imagine Schneider as a step dad, Johanna. He is kindness personified, so that kid is probably not suffering. Although she might experience some kind of trauma walking in on her step dad trying on her mummy`s clothing.
I`m so mean...;) It`s Zorans fault!!!
