    Did You Get An Allowance?

    When I was a kid, a got a small allowance: One Norwegian Crown, (then about a cent?) pr. year I was. I put them in the piggybank and saved for something nice. When I became a teenager, from my 13th birthday, I got a bigger allowance of about 100 dollars pr. month. (Very difficult translate...

    Relax...dont do it?

    Good relaxation trick: Cooking. I work with my head, so after a long, stressfull day I need some help to unwind my thought. (I can't just "turn off" the work going on in my head.) Cooking dinner does that. I have to use my brain on something else, ( I like to experiment, or cook something not to...

    Besame cosmetics

    Yes, I think the dark set has a "dark translucent powder." (??) It also seems like the vanity case refills are beeing discontinued, at least I couldn't find the products anywhere on the beasme website, so buying the case with the hope to replace the colors and products might be not be a good idea.

    Calling all Danes and Swedes! (Heptown.com/Hepcat related)

    I have to say I rally don't know anything about the "scene" in Norway, I don't think I'm a part of it. My only "vintage scene" is the LARP scene, (levende rollespill/laiv p?• norsk, en slags rollelek/ full improvisasjons teater) where I seek out the ones with historical inspiration. But I...

    Calling all Danes and Swedes! (Heptown.com/Hepcat related)

    Heisann, og velkommen til deg! I live in Bergen, but am originally from Larvik. (Neighbour city to Tønsberg.) Small world at the world wide web! Great to se eanother Norwegian here. When counting with the Smithy who moved to Trondheim, we are now three I think!

    Just watched LA Confidential again...

    Good movie, but nothing like the book. Ellroy is difficult to make movies of, because of the very long timespan of the books, and all the many different characters personal plots and agendas that have more or, often, less do to with the main plot. What makes the books great makes them difficult...

    Just one of those (rare) days

    I once read about something called "The random act of kindness movement" or something like that. The whole point of the thing was that the members once in a while should do random acts of kindness to strangers, like giving up their place in the line or helping to carry heavy things or something...

    If you said you looked like one celebrity from the Golden Era...

    I know it's not golden era, but I've been told I look like miss Lemon in Poirot when I wear my glasses. I choose to take that as a compliment!

    Mineral Make-UP

    I have just bought eyeshadows from Everydayminerals.com and thought I'd share the experience with you. I already love their skin make-up, and I am very happy with the eyeshadows, especially the pearl and shimmer ones. They are rich in color, highly pigmented and have a beautiful shimmer. They...

    Capt. Hastings

    Speaking of the Poirot series, (the good ones, with David Suchet of course), I have noted that Poirot himself often wears flowers on his lapels. He has some kind of silver (?) "broch" shaped as a tiny cone, that he puts the flowers in. Kind of a portable micro flower-vase! (I wonder if he...

    What Are You Reading

    I have not read "The Log of the Sea of Cortez" yet, I hope my library has it. "Of mice and men" is very good, but so sad I only read it once. I love his light-hearted books like "Cannery Row" and the one about the lazy men. (Can't remember the english name.) "The moon is down" is a strange one...

    The Hardest Noir You've Ever Witnessed

    Someone mentioned The Fountainhead? We watched in in at school in when I did my bachleor in furniture design/interior architecture. I have also heard it's a big hit at architects parties! I love and hate that movie! True, the characters are selfish, the acting and directing is grossly...

    What's cooking?

    Maybe I'm getting :offtopic: here but, hey, it's about food, right?;) That's right, Voss and Bergen and other parts of the west. Here we also eat pinnekjoett, "stickmeat", for Christmas. That is dried, salted and often also smoked lamb, that you water out and steam. You should try it, it's...

    What's cooking?

    Wow, you are a brave man. I have never touched lutefisk, and I am a native! What's next? Smalahove? (Burned sheeps head.) Tr??ndersodd is nice, though. Do you like the Norwegian browncheese?

    What's cooking?

    Mmmmmm, soup. I make the best Muwligatany soup ever, that's my best dish! I also know a extremely simple potato soup, very cheap and yummy! And tomato soup made from fresh tomatoes... Mmmmm. I have to host a soup party soon, I think!

    What Are You Reading

    "The pastures of heaven", John Steinbeck. I love Steinbeck, and have a personal project going right now to read all of his books I can find at the library. After that, I'll do the same with Graham Green, my other favorite writer. Oh, and "Death is a lonely business" by Ray Bradbury. Science...

    Any stories of the unexplained?

    The Big Bird Miracle (This story is the only thing I have ever experienced that I can't really explain. It is not supernatural or anything, everything can be explained as pure, happy coincidence. But still.....) My big brother, (1,5 years older than me), was very obsessed with birds when he...

    The good vintage life = eco friendly!

    That is why I will not change my IKEA couches until it is absolutely nescecary: When they falls apart. Sadly, it will. I regret we got it in the first place.I was planning to buy couches at the Salvation Army, but the sad and absurd thing here is that Salvation Army charges more than IKEA for...
