2.) This year I spent most of our national day at my uncle’s together with some of my family as well as my uncle’s girlfriends family. Lots of lovely food, and by that I mean LOTS! I was in heaven hehe. One of those days where you wish you could eat forever. One of the reasons it probably was so much extra goodies this year is because it also happen to be my uncle’s 40th birthday.

3.) Eurovision Song Contest. Now, most of you outside Europe now probably goes “Say what?!”. However in Europe this is a pretty huge thing which you can get more in depth info about here. Nobody actually watches this show (so they say), but the fact is most do (1 billion), it’s tradition after all. This year we (Norway) won the whole thing setting a massive score record, meaning, we get to host it next year. You can pretty much say it’s been crazy lately, with the winning song playing over and over EVERYWHERE, newspapers and magazines writing pages up and down about Alexander Rybak (the winning artist), debates about what town getting to host it etc. I feel like strangling somebody when I hear the winning song haha. But on the other side I watched it, was happy when we won, and will watch it again next year. I just don’t like things being milked to the very last drop ack.

4.) Oh the fun, two weeks at the hospital. No I have to disappoint you, I didn’t get to ride an ambulance with flashing lights and use the siren. Two times a year I got a scheduled control, and once every couple of years, or if things get really unbearable, then I’m in for an extended control like this time. Most of it is actually somewhat lovely, like the swimming, heat treatment and massage/physiotherapy. Though the swimming and massage/physiotherapy can be rather painful at times, it in general is pain relieving.

The annoying part is all the doctors and tests like needles here and there, X-rays, CAT Scans, MRI and the more nasty ones including scalpels and biological injections etc. *shivers* I’m sure the doctors there are set on giving me a 3rd arm coming out of my stomach, a tail, super powers or making me glow in the dark. The radiation I’ve got over the past eight or so years is ridiculous high.

So what did I get out of this control? Pretty much nothing more than more radiation and more pain hehe.

6.) Yes, I started a new project. And as often, I can’t or won’t really say what it is ;) However I can tell you this! It’s already nearing it’s first release, and if lucky you can get your hands on it already within a week! I’ll reveal this much: It’s a small software that will help you ***** your files in a ***** on a webhost.

7.) The resumed project is still a secret! ;)

8.) Past couple of days I’ve been following the annual E3 show in Los Angles and I have to admit, my inner gamer is jumping of joy of things to come, while my wallet is going into cardiac arrest! I think this year there are more games that I want than I DON’T want. Here are some links to trailers of the ones I already got on my watch list in addition to some revealed at E3. Final Fantasy XIII (horrible English dub, give us Japanese with subs!), Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Final Fantasy XIV Online, Heavy Rain, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Assassins Creed 2 (even though the first flopped big time for me), Alan Wake, The Saboteur, Star Wars: The Old Republic, White Knight Chronicles, Splinter Cell: Conviction, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, The Last Guardian, Mini Ninjas, this list will probably grow throughout the next few days as a reminder to myself. Eeeeek!

So what are you up to?

I have to say that this is what good marketing is all about. It’s brilliant in so many ways. It’s funny, grabs your attention in all the right ways, delivers a clear straight-to-the-point message that sticks to your brain. And best of all, it’s dead simple! In other words, genius…

Hands down for this class work. Hands down…
