Shakespearian Slaughter

By Jon Magne | Published: February 28, 2007
When you attend high school in Grong its very normal to attend at a play in the first year. Going to the theatre isn’t very popular among students and for most of them this is a once in a lifetime experience. My class went to see “King Lear”, written by William Shakespeare. The play was staged [...]

Bouncebackability!

By Jon Magne | Published: February 28, 2007
I’m raping Ian Dowie’s famous phrase for the sake of a very cool title. Hopefully he won’t take offence at this evil deed and rather see the purpose with taking his football-phrase and giving it a new meaning. The last week has gone by without much Lotta-ference (a.k.a. I haven’t had the chance to pester [...]

Arsenal-Chelsea 1-2

By Jon Magne | Published: February 27, 2007
As requested, I’m posting this little post of misery so everyone who don’t support Arsenal can gloat and do their pesky victory dances, while I’m browsing through the kitchen cabinet – looking for a suitable knife. It’s not like we didn’t deserve to lose. We fielded a team who a are light years behind Chelsea in [...]

“We must away, ere the break of day!”

By Jon Magne | Published: February 21, 2007
I’m taking off tomorrow morning and will most probably not find a Internet connection before Sunday. The reason for this is the aforementioned “Trondheim-Oslo”-tour, which starts out as a school trip to Trondheim so that my class and I may watch “King Lear”, a play written by a nobody that went by the name of [...]

PSV Eindhoven – Arsenal 1-0

By Jon Magne | Published: February 21, 2007
Well, I guess it had to happen sooner or later, but I’d have preferred later. Our very first defeat of the year came against PSV, and even though it wasn’t deserved, ’cause we were better then them, you could see it coming a long way down the road. It just wasn’t our night, which isn’t [...]

America; I’m sorry!

By Jon Magne | Published: February 20, 2007
It was late last night that sat down to watch ”World Trade Centre”, directed by Oliver Stone and starring Nicholas Cage. I can’t remember if I’ve watched a better film in 2007, ‘cause this one made a mark upon my soul that won’t come off easily. I expected a cheesy, American film which celebrates its [...]

I Try not to Judge

By Jon Magne | Published: February 18, 2007
I just discovered that Tom Henning Øvrebø will be refereeing Tuesdays clash between Arsenal and PSV Eindhoven. I mentioning it because the last two games that Arsenal have played (excluding the away-win at Reebook) has been riddled by bad refereeing (the keywords here are: “Aliadiere”, “Penalty” and “You must be fucking kidding me, referee!?”), and [...]

A New Addition to the Shopping List

By Jon Magne | Published: February 18, 2007
Christopher Moore is fellow I’ve been wanting to check out for quite some time now. This is supposed to be his funniest book ever and the “enjoyability” should align itself with “The Lies of Locke Lamora”, which is more than enough praise to win me over. Wondering what the “Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, [...]

Roses are red, violets are blue, but my Scarlett heart belongs to…

By Jon Magne | Published: February 17, 2007
Yesterday evening I sat down with “Match Point”, starring in particular Scarlett Johansen and directed by Woody Allen. If she hadn’t been casted for this role I am certain that I wouldn’t even have considered buying this DVD, but as things stand I’m glad I did. “Match Point is a good romantic drama (tragedy?), but [...]
