Christmas Eve all over again













It is Christmas Eve today and it seems like a good opportunity to update this weblog. Just watched "Reprise" again this evening – a treat for anyone like me; who enjoys scenes from bleak parks, the city of Oslo, snapshots from Paris, people who are mostly wearing black, talking about films, music and literature. In addition to other subjects of life-saving of course. I´m also working my way through the Book Thief by Markus Zusak which is rather entertaining (...must hurry this post and get reading again, as I know I will commence reading my xmas-present tomorrow night...). I have (as usual) chosen the book I will receive myself. Still exciting to unwrap it though. Quality is a requirement, then I am easily pleased.

Also finished "Ensemble, c´est tout" since last posting here, and it is a book I can recommend to anyone. Feel-good book, but not at all in a bad way! Missed the film at the cinema, so I will get the DVD whenever it is available for approximately NOK 100. (Me...? I hardly ever buy a film for more than that...)

All the best for the holidays – and for 2008 – to anyone who should happen to swing by this corner of the internet. Quite pleased about the fact that it was exactly you who became the reader. Feel special - you are almost all alone.

I have also recently bought the books "Bikubesong" by Frode Grytten, "Eg vil at nokon skal vente på meg" by Anna Gavalda, the film Infernal Affairs by Andrew Lau and Alan Mak.

I think it´s going to be a nice break - - -
(and psst...it is still Kill The Lights with "Buffalo of Love" who´ve released the best record so far this year. All other bands must hurry! A revised list from me will be published here early next year.)
