WOOHOO !!!!!

For the reminder of the day I would like you to loudly exclaim WOOHOO!! Homer Simpson style, each time you: open the fridge, see yourself in a reflection or hear/see the punchline of a commercial

Thank you.

Oh oh oh oh!!!

I just stumbled over a website which is all the good stuff from youtube, but should be safe for kids to navigate.

How about this one for my freinds in Illinois.

:-)

Today is not Saturday.

My phone rang at around 9:30 this morning.

"Torben!"
"Hi It's Michael"
"Hi Michael" (Michael who! - I sort of recognized the voice but couldn't place it)
"What are you doin?" (Didnt' want to tell him I just woke up)
"Nothing much, wh..... OH - DAMN!" (It dawned on me which Michael)
"Why arn't you at work?"
"ehh I thought it was Saturday, grab a coffee I'll be right there..."

It was a technical contractor that I had a meeting with this morning, not good.

In retrospect I should have made up some car problem or other because, he spent the time he was waiting, telling ALL my collegues about my mistake, so I'we been ridiculed all day.. Bummer. I'll probably hear for it the rest of the summer.

Luckely it's a long time since I done anything equally dumb.
I remember one time in high-school I jumped out of bed and were litteraly getting dressed on the run as I sprinted for the bus-stop. And as I got there, I wondered when the bus would arrive, and why there were no traffic, then slowly realizing that it was Sunday.

The worst one was also in high-school; got up Wayyy to late, grabbed my dads car (It was allright with him) and drove 4 miles to the school, where i noticed that the parking lot was empty.. Because I somehow had woken up more than one hour early without noticing.. - Later the same day I got on the bus for home and had travelled half a mile, when I noticed the car keys in my pocket.....

I may need blinds for my kitchen windows.

While I was cooking dinner tonight, listening to a CD I picked up at a garage sale, I realized 2 important things; First, I really am looking forward to the moment when I can start picking up tomatoes and stuff in my greenhouse and start to cook Italian with my own produce. And secondly "The Chemical Brothers" album "Push the button" Is excellent for jumping up and down, making assorted rhythmical movements - So stupid of me not to have known that earlier.

Name dropping nobody

I went to high-school with Nicolaj of New Amsterdam, which has just aired here.
I don't recall him though I probably saw him around, but he's in my blue book (year book).
Where among other things it says: "Nikolaj dreams about a career on stage" And "Nikolaj is his class' answer to W.C. Fields (Not only when it comes to his liver, which liver? ed). He is extremely entertaining when the mood takes him. Often he has put on a one-man show that brought the class into laughter cramps."

Considering becoming a Guerrilla

I think this could be something for me.

Then I'd get an excuse for wearing my secret Ninja Spandex outfit.

...

Uhmm Spandex.

First Kiss

(got this in the mail today):

It's your First Kiss and several questions might come to mind:

Is it the right time?

Is anyone watching?

Does your partner even want to?

Is your breath fresh?

AND,---Should you use some tongue?

Then you say . . .

'What the heck!' and Just Go for it!!!

Alice

I think this is so kewl.
I really appreciate stumbling over something like this on the Internet, it almost makes up for all the crap you also come across.
This is made (90%) out of samples from the old Disney classic by a young Aussie guy called Nick Bertke. Goodone mate.

HISTORIA DE UN LETRERO (THE STORY OF A SIGN)

With a stroke of the pen, a stranger transforms the afternoon for another man in this emotionally stirring short film by Alonso Alvarez.

Alonso Alvarez Barreda won the NFB Online Competition Cannes 2008 with the short film Historia de un Letrero (The Story of a Sign).

Fairground attractions

Today has been a beautiful presummers day.

Every year at this time 4-H turns one of the prettiest spots near the lake into a fairground. The kids bring their rabbits, dogs, horses, chickens etc. and there are shows where they display their animals along with lots of others shows, shepherding with dogs, veteran automobiles and motorcycles, camels and elephants.

There is a really nice and relaxed feeling, people smile and even talks to strangers, I had a conversation with an older man who like me, were watching the 'tiny' veteran tractors plow and harrow, and he remembered having driven one similar to the one we were watching and started to tell me about the different tractors he had owned.

As I was cooling off with a cold beer searching for shade among the horses 'stables' I had a chat with a driver of a 4 horse marathon wagon. That seems to be an interesting sport, being able to handle 4 big horses in tight turns is not for sissies I think.

You know - For kids!

I am guessing this is a pacifier, apparently comes with its own Egg-sack. If I had a kid I would buy one - which I know is kind of disturbing.

Cats

I have cats. Lots of cats. All though not my own, instead all the cats in the neighbourhood pops by all the time. These two came visiting today. But I guess they were probably visiting the birds rather than me. (I'm not sure if they are brothers or what, but I'd like to think so).

It's not bothering me much, the birds usually have the upper hand, and it is rare that anyone gets hurt.

TopGun trainee

Today I've been at the local glider club where I met up with my dear friends Kirsten and Asbjørn and their two boys for coffee and home baked.
But the more important reason was that their son Peter is now old enough (he just turned 9) to try flying with his dad, something I think he has been looking forward to for a long time (well they both have I imagine).

Are you sure he will be safe?

yesyesyesyes

Last adjustments

Look at his face, that is one happy guy. (click pics. to enlarge)

Waving down to mom.

I think he grew at least 3 inches.

And after there even were the bonus of getting to drive the cable puller.

No Kristian, you will have to wait several years son.

But he does not mind as long as he gets to ride 'his' big red tractor.

They even had garden gnomes

He is such a goofball.

Messing with uncle-BoP.

Let's save the world shall we?

Country monday

I went out into the country yesterday, they say the weather is changing and a front is moving closer, so I thought I'd go out to enjoy the sunshine.

Then I came to spot this pretty girl on a field by the roadside.

She batted her eyelashes and looked at me with those big brown eyes.

I am pretty sure she was flirting there.

But Im nobody's fool, and it was obvious that she were just trying to make her boyfreind jaloux. - Women!!!

Bad Chewie

Mom, Dad - There's a monster under YOUR bed!

I find this a bit scary and I don't even have children.

Wedding toast

Perhaps this was an idea for Myrtle's wedding.

The garden today.

Bop the builder

Finally those countless hours of playing with lego payed of, just followed the instructions and presto - one green house.
