The saga ends

October 11, 2010


Guess what I'm looking forward to

There and back again

July 22, 2009
Six hours, sitting in a bus and looking at trees and mountains as they fly by. Six hours of complete and utter boredom, of staring out the window and wishing the time would go faster...or that the bus would. Six hours of bus, and then an hour and a half by car, over the narrowest road across the mountains EVER. That is the journey I had to make to get to Ingrid (my best friend). I only went for the weekend and spent most of the time sitting on a bus there and back again, but it was totally worth it! Not because I happened to catch the latest Harry Potter film while I was there (because it sucked awfully, so don't waste your money on it), but because I had so much fun while I was there.

I got to see and play cards with Ingrid and her family (who've been like my second family for 10 years), and a couple of people I hadn't seen for nearly 2 years, I had time to participate in the making of a movie (I played the boss of the Russian mafia in Norway, wooohooo), AND Ingrid and I finally had time to organise and plan our interrail trip for next summer. It's gonna be so awsome :D

Sadly I had to leave all too soon, but I had to get back to work to earn money for our trip. But I love visiting Sauda, so I'm probably going to head down there again sometime before the term starts. Either that, or I'll visit her in her new appartment in Bergen ;D She's planning to live there and study maths (CRAZY girl :P)


Here are some pictures from the set of our film:

Ice age 3

July 7, 2009
I finally found the time (and the company) to go watch the last ice age movie, and it is awsome! Very funny in a true ice age style, with a right proportion of old and new characters to capture one's attention.

This time around Manny and Ellie are having a baby, which makes Diego realise he's got to leave, and Sid that he is not part of this new family. Sid is therefore thrilled when he finds 3 eggs underneath the ice. He declares himself their mother (oddly enough) and calls them his new family. The suprise of the eggs holding tiny t-rex dinasours is nothing like the one of their mommy showing up and taking Sid with her under the ice where a whole new pre-ice age world is in full blossom. Manny, Diego and the others follow to save their friend. They soon realise that the world under is nothing like the one above and previously unseen dangers lure behind every corner and they soon realise that a guide would be nice. This is where they meet Buck - a one-eyed, slightly crazed, british weasel, who helps them find their way.

Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs is cute and interesting with a quite a few grown up jokes (which I can't see the kids getting), the visuals are stunning, especially since it's 3D. And if you forgive the obvious historical loophole (there were no dinosaurs during the Ice Ag, duuh) you can actually have quite a good time. The dinosaurs add a lot of thrill to the plot, and there's actually a very nice sense of adventure throughout the film. I would not hesitate to recomend this film to everyone!!!
