This blog is about me.

It’s raining.

In an effort to keep myself somewhat updated in the music world, I am frustrated by how many new artists out there that I’ve never heard of. Dashboard Confessional, The Kooks, MGMT… how come I haven’t heard of these earlier?

A trip to Prague lasted from the 6th till yesterday. It was fun, though I didn’t get to see much of the city itself. The grown-ups spent most of their time in the Viet markets they found there. The markets are an exact copy of how markets generally are in Viet Nam. It’s almost uncanny. I probably missed out on half of the things I wanted to see because of that.

E3 is on.

Titles I’m anticipating:

• Final Fantasy XIII (on Xbox 360!)
• Left 4 Dead
• MadWorld
• Mirror’s Edge
• Prince of Persia: Next Gen
• Project Origin (edit: now F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin)

PS. Best trailer EVER:

I haven’t been able to do anything ever since the last exam. I don’t know if it’s because I’ve become sick of everything or that I’m just plain lazy. Either way, I don’t like it. It is not a good position to be in. All I’ve managed to do so far is to install Arch Linux on both the new laptop and the desktop computer in my room in Oslo. Also, Ubuntu on my parents’ media center. XD (I’ve become such a geek.)

I got a new Wii back from service. It happened pretty quick too, within a few days. Finally finished The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (it was friggin’ awesome). I also managed to find copies of Super Paper Mario and Super Mario Galaxy on sale. I ordered the latter one some days after the former but got it first (stupid shop). At least I’ll keep myself entertained this summer.

A month back I managed to brick my N80 with some Hotmags. I was playing with them while waiting for Team Fortress 2 to load and put them down next to the phone. An hour or two later, it stopped responding. So now I’m on the lookout for a new mobile. Current contenders: HTC Touch Diamond, … I’ll probably add some more later.

Otherwise, both my sisters are in Europe. One in Norway, the other in the UK. Girlfriend is in the US, and most of my friends are not in Oslo. Yup.

PS. Job seeking sucks.

Saw Iron Man today. It was better than I would expect from your typical comic book adaption. In fact, I thought it was great.

Windows XP Service Pack 3 was, well, not much of a huge difference. Except from the fact that I no longer have to download tons of updates after a reformat, there aren’t that much to see on the surface. They STILL don’t have AHCI drivers included, so you will have to force-install those post-setup. Apart from that, I guess it’s just Windows XP refreshed.

On a totally unrelated note, these are the registry tweaks I use on my Windows Vista laptop. I’ve uploaded it here not for you, but for me. Feel free to use it though.

The light from my monitors are the only lights that reflect off the bare walls of my empty room. The late nights of pointlessness are back, but at least this time, I’m trying to use it for something more recreational. Or at least I’d like to think so.

Whatever happened to the warm, fuzzy feeling inside when walking in the sun during summer, I wonder? The good feeling you get when the sunrays hit your shoulders through your t-shirt, all while you try your very best to cling onto your most treasured in your feeble hands? Nowadays, it feels like an echo of the past. Routines are what they’ve become, like doing the dishes after dinner or catching two episodes of The Simpsons every evening at 1900. It is boring. But it used to be fun, for a while.

Sometimes I wonder if the late nights ever went away. Have I always felt this demotivated? I no longer know for sure, if that really matters for anything anymore.
