hei ja, dette er en kirke 

This is just a test on the blogging features available for "blogger" bloggers in firefox.

If this works correctly (I will see in only a few seconds... *oh the anticipation*) there will be a link to a page containing Periodic Table - Flash Version riiight about here.

Anyone interested in learning more about the elements that make up our reality would be well-advised to give it a try.

On a completely different, yet oh so identical note, I would like to add that Firefox really is the ultimate browser. anyone who haven't yet converted should do so IMMEDIATELY!!.....

..... YES that does mean you too.... what are you waiting for?

Todays rantings:

I went to a concert yesterday with a band from St.Olaf college USA. they were really good, three "bands" in all. A concert band (hmm, concert bands and jetlag don't mix). The St.Olaf choir (OMG they are so good!). And the orchestra (the concert master was sooo into the music, the guy sitting directly behind him was SOOOO not!).
My fiancee went to St.Olaf for 4 years, so we hung about a lot talking to the ones she recognized (she was in the concert band).

The concert band conductor Timothy "Tim" Marr seems nice, we talked to him in one of the intermissions "Hold on to her.. she's a fine girl" and "I hugged her before she hugged you". I'm sure he's a barrel of laughs with a beer in his hand, too bad he had other plans last night. Oh well.. I guess it's fair enough that when you travel halfway around the globe that you have a tight schedule.

A bit irritating was the fact that the Queen was present at the concert. Not that I think she shouldn't be allowed at great concerts, but why couldn't she use the box on the wall... IT'S THERE FOR A REASON!. Instead she chose to sit with the crowd. which meant that 6 times we all had to stand up and wait for her as she entered or left. (good thing she didn't need to use the toilet during the concert!)

ACK ACK ACK... Uni finally chucked me out from their computer systems a few days ago. I am now officially homeless. Too bad they didn't give me nearly enough time to salvage my data (a month is such a short time these days) so my old blog is lost.I've had to fall back on this blogger one. oh well.. the old one was shait anyway.

not much to rant about today, had my last written exam EVER! (unless I start
on my doctorate or go for a year of ped.) It feels good, it feels great.. but the
best thing was walking to the exam-hall next to a couple of first years doing their
first exam at uni ever, going on like "oh, I hope they allow us to go out and smoke,
do you reckon they let you go to the toilet?".... ah, they'll have four more years before
they can stroll into the exam venue with the same confidence I strolled and answer the
questions with the same degree of "this really is beneath my stature" air.

I weren't really nervous, coz the subject was an easy one. The only thing I was a bit
anxious about was getting out of there in time to do a concert with my student orchestra
Dei Taktlause. However, being
the smart student that I certainly think I am, it took me no large amount of effort to finish
an hour early and even organise a get-together later this day for playing board games, and
all that before venturing out into mother natures bloody weather. Adresseavisen even had an article on the
bad weather. It's crazy. Looks like I don't have to worry about a white christmas this year.
Being my first encounter with Trondheim at its nastier in over a year (Australia just doesn't have
anything quite like it) I was actually laughing the whole way to the concert and back. The weather
was so bad that it was like walking in a bad 60ies movie where the budget is running out and
they really need a blizzard for that last scene.

ah well, enough for tonight. not much ranting.. maybe life will be more miserable tomorrow...

Have you ever noticed that when it rains and it's below zero degrees the streets gets mindblowingly slippery? Now this is where salt comes in. By salting the streets, theoreticly, the melting point for ice is lowered so that all we get is a nice and wet street. Now, how come the bloody city can't find it in their hearts to salt the bloody streets?
Silly me riding my bike with no decent tyres, it was an accident waiting to happen.
Forunately though, there being no friction on the roads, in addition to making me fall like 4 times, meant that falling was basicly like riding a waterslide. Except from a few bruises from the impact and getting wet from the water (that was still pouring, can you believe that? it was minus for crying out loud) I was pretty much ok. Tomorrow I'll walk though.
