“Dexter” – The Blood Stops Flowing, Season 1

By Jon Magne | Published: March 31, 2007
One of my first posts ever on this blog was a preliminary review of a TV-show titled “Dexter“. When I wrote that review, I had only watched four episodes of the show, but that didn’t stop me from naming it one of my favorite shows around. Season 1 of Dexter ended Thursday evening, and [...]

A Man amongst Men; Terje Phlegmont Mendoza

By Jon Magne | Published: March 30, 2007
I’m willing to bet that whoever is reading this post regards themselves as a person with no major flaws in either appearance or character. As a prophet of the forthcoming Apocalypse, I’m required to inform that you are wrong. You are flawed in every possible and impossible way imaginable to the human mind. Especially [...]

Shocking News: The Hugo’s

By Jon Magne | Published: March 29, 2007
This year’s Hugo nominations have been published, and the real shocker is that I haven’t made it this year either. But I don’t let small things like that bring me down; I’ll get that nomination next year. Here is the entire list and some comments of mine: Novel Michael F. Flynn, Eifelheim (Tor) Naomi Novik, His Majesty’s Dragon [...]

The Proud shall be Struck Down

By Jon Magne | Published: March 28, 2007
Man, oh, man; I should get a triple dosage of lightning from the clear blue sky, ’cause I received my very own copy of “You’re not Fooling Anyone When You Take your Laptop to a Coffee Shop; Scalzi on Writing”. It’s easily the most expensive book I’ve ever bought, but I really couldn’t care less [...]

Thomas Myhre and a Monkey

By Jon Magne | Published: March 28, 2007
What’s the difference between a monkey in a cage and Thomas Myhre? Easy; there is no difference. I just finished watching Turkey-Norway, a match which Norway had won if it hadn’t been for “Mr. I don’t understand the concept of being a football keeper”, Thomas Myhre. If he doesn’t get axed after those two dreadful mistakes, I’m [...]

Grøss – norsk film

By Jon Magne | Published: March 27, 2007
What do you do when your Norwegian teacher decides to make you write a blog post, but in the gawd awful language that is Norwegian I could elect not to do it, but that would be wrong. I’m to much of a wimp to choose that particular option. I could write the damned [...]

Give Me a Gun!

By Jon Magne | Published: March 26, 2007
Every day when I walk home to my house I pick up the household mail. I, of course, peruse the address bar of each and every strip of paper, just to see if somebody out there know I’m alive and have sent me mail to tell me so (or maybe some useful stuff to boot). [...]

Mmmmm… Books…

By Jon Magne | Published: March 24, 2007
Even though my hear is flaring and my wallet’s having a nervous breakdown, this was so incredibly worth it. Take a look at the last item on the list: “You’re Not Fooling Anyone When You Take Your Laptop to a Coffee Shop”. I had all but given up hope of finding it anywhere but Ebay, [...]

Embrace Your Dorkiness

By Jon Magne | Published: March 24, 2007
As mentioned in the previous blog post, I was going to watch “Wayne’s World” last night. I bought the movie on a simple whim, and even though it looks really bad judging from the cover, I decided to give it a go. And I’m glad I did. “Wayne’s” World” must be one of the weirdest and [...]

A Lively Update #2

By Jon Magne | Published: March 23, 2007
The past few days have been hectic by my relaxed standards, so I haven’t had the time to write anything major her on The Apocalypse, nor have I really had anything major to report on. This has resulted in a little pile up of things and oddments I’d like to share with you. Why I’ve got [...]
