A Patients View

As I wrote in the last posty-wost, I have debilitating odontophobia that was put to the test today as I had to go to the dentist and actually get my lower right wisdom tooth chopped up in bits and ripped out of my face-hole. I have not been to the dentist and actually had anything done in about four years. Partly because I'm scared shitless and of course the shame of knowing that there indeed definitely was something bad going on inside my cake-hole and doing nothing about it.

Anyway, I didn't sleep a wink last night and was feeling like there was a strong possibility of me projectile vomiting in the dentists face whilst crying trying to climb out a window.

At 14:37 I got a call on my mobile from the orthodontist office asking me where I was. I had mentally prepared myself for my appointment at 15:00, but of course I was mistaken and had to leg it wildly since I was already seven minutes late. Needless to say I broke down in the car... I Cried and hyperventilated like the distressed Mule on seeing the hill-dog of Nick Caves distressing inbred universe.

I managed to stop crying, dry-heaving and awkwardly giggling before going inside the orthodontist office where I witnessed something incredible. My dentist managed to put me at ease just by smiling at me.
Her dark-blue eyes sparkling, her long blonde hair flowing in a low pony-tail behind her with a flower pin holding back her stray bangs and her naturally tanned skin shining in beautiful contrast to her light blue scrubs. Her voice was soft and calming, understanding my distress and professionally explaining every move she made.
She made me feel safe even in that preposterous situation. I hardly felt anything and it was over in about an hour. The tooth was HUGE and she had to sew me up a bit with two stitches, which was the most uncomfortable part because she seemed to be trying to put both her hands inside my mouth at the same time to be able to sew it together.

It was absurd to see her concentrating on her job and then realising that her job is actually inside my mouth. I felt like a baby: unable to speak, only seeing their heads, feeble and helpless; concentrating on her flower pin and breathing as if vigorously practising Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga on my head.

Sadly, at this point my extensive numbing has started wearing off and I need to feel sorry for myself with my favourite "Five a Day:"

Family Life

Sadly, some of this post has to be in Norwegian...

My debilitating odontophobia has brought me back to Bergen for a few days so that THIS bad ass rockin' bitch can have her mummy hold her hand when the fiendish dentist-a from hell chop her wisdometooth into bits and rip them out of my face one by one.

This brings us to a lovely household conversation:
Mummy: Vi har så mye rart der inne!
Sister(Me): DU er så rar der inne!
Mummy: Jeg ER så rar!
Brother: Velkjent familieegenskap...

Excuse the language, but I just had to capture this random moment, if only for myself!

HYPERTEXT - "SCIENCE ROOM"


Summer is turning in to cold glum fall at a frightening pace. Even when it's warm and nice people stare and comment about your overwhelming denial when wearing shorts and a t-shirt solely because the calender tells them to... I don't care for it!

This video is so simple and sad. An unsuccessful Dr. Frankenstein with a disproportionate festival sized spliff between his lips yearning for his "wife in a jar" whilst his child/puppy dies in an attempt to comforts his father... "The taste of science is sweet in this room, but not for her"

Blerg, stupid cold!

From Jared Hess, the director of Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre comes Gentlemen Broncos!
I'm semi literally giggle-shaking on the floor from watching it

Thank you (stupid Singapore fleeing) Owlonius for posting this video on facebook and start blogging again you crab; I miss you!

The stunning proprietor of Fashiontoast and a wicked sense of Vintage style gave me goose pimples today and almost made me forget the depressing sight outside my window; it is raining cats and dogs (ridiculous saying!) out there. Rumi looks gorgeous though!

The Goddess is not in the Hair

I could not believe the incredible femininity the woman exudes in this picture even when bald! Incredible goddess face, body and look; even though she looks as though she's hardly wearing make up there would be no doubt in my mind, even if she wore an oversized tracksuit, that she was indeed a woman with a capitol W...-OMAN! I'm vomit-green with jealousy!

Way to find them Face Hunter!

The Death of Bunny Munro

The new book by Nick Cave is so close I can taste it! I might just have to order it off the internet... Check out the website for this sick ass masterpiece:The Death of Bunny Munro



Nick Cave reads excerpt from Chapter 3

Nick Cave reads excerpt from Chapter 10

Nick Cave reads excerpt from Chapter 11

Nick Cave reads excerpt from Chapter 17

‘Put Cormac McCarthy, Franz Kafka and Benny Hill together in a Brighton seaside guesthouse and they might just come up with Bunny Munro. A compulsive read possessing all Nick Cave’s trademark horror and humanity, often thinly disguised in a galloping, playful romp.’
IRVINE WELSH

Sweet jumping Jehovah I can't wait for this book to be released in Norway in September! I love this man!

Pixie for British Vogue




Yes, I spent the ridiculous amount of 109NOK on the superb September issue of British Vogue... If you didn't, it's your loss. Just marvel at little Pixie Geldof pumping some youthful androgyny into it. She's even drinking something with calories in one of the images (or, at least pretending to...).

Top Gear madness, or just madness?

I'm having a slight identity crisis today. I've just realized that I have seen and enjoyed 13(!!) seasons of Top Gear... This frightening, if not rebarbative fact poses the question: "Why?" Why do I like it so much that I have seen 13 seasons of this petrol-head show? Why did I see two seasons of that wine tasting show even though I care about as preposterously little about fancy-pants wines as I do about the different types of trees they might have in Finland?
Behold! James May off of Top Gear was in that wine tasting program, being dry-humoured and weird and I absolutely loved it! Why? Are James May, Richard Hammond and Jeremy Clarkson hypnotizing me with some kind of Bugatti Veyron, "We-hate-the-Prius-because-it's-a-big-fat-fake-that-causes-just-as-much-pollution-as-a-supercar" aberration of my pink squishy thinker?

I read weird books about memory/thought-eating sharks made of letters and words; and books about films that never existed about houses with expanding and retracting hallways that slowly disintegrates everything inside it and disappear. I go to art museums and am a member of a film "club." I read Vogue! VOGUE damn it!

I don't even have a drivers licence. Well, that's not entirely true, a have a scooter licence that I got at school when I was sixteen and have never used. It rumbles the core of my thought-machine that I can find a show about cars this entertaining.

The kinds of people who watch the show voted THIS to be the best driving music of all time:

10 Fleetwood Mac "The Chain"
9 AC/DC "Highway to Hell"
8 Led Zeppelin "Immigrant Song"
7 Kenny Loggins "Danger Zone"
6 Motörhead "Ace of Spades"
5 Deep Purple "Highway Star"
4 Steppenwolf "Born to Be Wild"
3 Meat Loaf "Bat Out of Hell"
2 Golden Earring "Radar Love"
1 Queen "Don't Stop Me Now"
(I can't tell you why the list is the wrong way around, I simply copied it off Wikipedia, so take it up with the petrol-heads who wrote it. It should be noted that a Top Gear watching person/persons probably wrote this and thought it a grand and ingenious idea to have a descending list... A person with the mental capacity of a labradoodle in other words)

Just look at this ridiculous image:
Three middle-aged men (a dwars, a fat guy and the gay one), fast cars, massive explosions, sexism, dry humour and testosteronian stubbornness... Apparently this is what floats my boat!

Hare Krishna and I'll see you next season Top Gear!

ZOMBIEWOMBIES


"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains." So begins Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, an expanded edition of the beloved Jane Austen novel featuring all-new scenes of bone-crunching zombie mayhem. As our story opens, a mysterious plague has fallen upon the quiet English village of Meryton—and the dead are returning to life! Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is determined to wipe out the zombie menace, but she's soon distracted by the arrival of the haughty and arrogant Mr. Darcy. What ensues is a delightful comedy of manners with plenty of civilized sparring between the two young lovers—and even more violent sparring on the blood-soaked battlefield as Elizabeth wages war against hordes of flesh-eating undead. Can she vanquish the spawn of Satan? And overcome the social prejudices of the class-conscious landed gentry? Complete with romance, heartbreak, swordfights, cannibalism, and thousands of rotting corpses, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies transforms a masterpiece of world literature into something you'd actually want to read.


Jane Austen is the author of Sense and Sensibility, Persuasion, Mansfield Park, and other masterpieces of English literature.

Seth Grahame-Smith once took a class in English literature. He lives in Los Angeles.

I need to read this book. When I know if it's any good I'll get back to you, but how can it not be?!

Milking brains

This is finally happening, start of a new semester at the University of Oslo. I almost didn't come back for another semester because the last one was so mindbogglingly tedious that my brain box thought it wise to quit and look for greener pastures in the bosoms of a full-time job. HA, ridiculaaaaaaas! I was not made in Gods image to sit behind a counter at the local gas-station for a year, I was made for greater things! Not save the world great, but at least entertain and annoy the world.

I shall not settle for mediocrity, damn it!

This is why I have chosen to study Aesthetics another semester and there I shall jam the proverbial straw into the brains of professors and doctorate students to sooth my insatiable need for knowledge; that I probably won't need outside a discussion at UiO... I shall grow evermore of an artsy-fartsy besserwisser, sip red wine, smoke my marlboro "ridiculasly lights" and force whomever lends me their ear to understand that my name-dropping is more intelligent than theirs!

And with that I leave you with a photograph of the way I like my angles and boring old grass put to good use:

I'm not completely up to writing at the moment, but some pictures might just pop up here anyway!

I don't know, nor have I ever met this person, but if she died I would be saddened of Farrah Fawcett proportions! I hope I haven't jinxed her now... I'll knock on wood or something equally preposterous to save her from the danger she never faced!

Je l'aime girls with off short hair!



I want to cut my hair really short, but I'm afraid I will look like a really tall prepubescent boy... But I just love these ladies and I think I'll be inspired to cut my hair somewhat like them:

Shannon Sossamon

Pixie Geldof
Selma Blair

or

Madonnas original or Peaches in a new (and improved?!) 80s thing...

And of course, the undisputed queen of short hair:

Agyness Deyn

I'm pretty certain that I won't go blond though... I'm thinking short and red! Since it's autumn and I've always wanted to be a redhead!
