Feeling Dizzy

The question that divides us is whether [...]

The Sarcastic Radio

Sundays are the busiest days of the week, and so even though I work at one of the smallest places in Norway it’s not uncommon for the place to packed full of people wanting sundaes, sausages or hamburgers. These are more or [...]

This Is an International ‘Yay Me!’ Day

This is in accordance with the Laws of Yayness* which clearly states that any person who feels especially yay-worthy or thoroughly awesome, may declare themselves a limited** number of ‘Yay-Days’ to celebrate an especially epic feat that they’ve recently accomplished. You may also [...]

(Take) COVER (!) (It’s the) ART (!)

By Jon Magne | Published: February 11, 2008
I love reading books. I love it above nearly any other form of past time activity. I try to read as often and as much as I can, yet I never seem to get do enough. There’s always another book to read, another story to hear. Yet there are some books that you simply can’t [...]

Secret Agent: Amras Elensar. Code Name: “104″

By Jon Magne | Published: January 16, 2008
So apparently I’ve become a reviewer for Aschehoug, a pretty big Norwegian publishing house. “How did you manage this splendid feat?”, I hear you ask with a trembling, yet avidly impressed voice. Well, truth be told, I didn’t actually manage it. They just took a review of mine without asking and posted it on their agency [...]

I Do Declare That Celebrations Are In Order

By Jon Magne | Published: December 13, 2007
You need to have flashplayer enabled to view this YouTube videoAll my term exams are done and over with. No more tests for this side of Christmas. Hooray! And I think I did okay with most of them.

An Interlude of LOLing

By Jon Magne | Published: November 15, 2007
I’m kinda swamped with schoolwork and other activities for the moment, so all the film, movie and book reviews will just have to be put on hold until the weekend arrives. In the mean time you can enjoy, make fun of or simply Laugh Out Loud at what I did during my two-hour long physics [...]

“I’ll nibble your legs off!”

By Jon Magne | Published: November 5, 2007
I’m a massive Monty Python fan and have probably watched the scene with “the Invincible Black Knight” in their unrivaled comedic masterpiece, “The Holy Grail”, so many times that I can just about quote the entire thing. To put if figuratively; I love it to pieces. Which makes it even more fun when the book I’m currently [...]
