World's Best Diet

Doesn't get any easier than this;

• Sit next to your cat when trying to eat.
• The cat will then stare at you every time you lift the fork.
• You will be overcome with guilt and will not be able to get down one bite.
  

• After a while you give in - this is stupid and the food will get cold.
  
• The cat notices this and follows your every move.
• You then proceed to give half your food to the cat to avoid it staring at you.
  

That's all!

I've effectively reduced your calorie intake by half!
And in the process given you a very stubborn (and potentially overweight) cat.

Enjoy!

To live or not to live...

I was going to write something stupid as usual when my brother called. He said a friend of his had died. Taken his own life.

Nobody seems to understand why. I guess that's how these things work... if someone understood, it might not have happened.

I don't know the facts and I didn't know the guy. I just want to say that even in his death he made a difference to people... even those who didn't know him. I hope there's something better up there.

If death meant just leaving the stage long enough to change costume and come back as a new character...Would you slow down? Or speed up?” - Chuck Palahniuk

Wedding Cake!

With all those bridezilla stories it's good to see someone with a sense of humour!

Me: “That will be 17.50, please.”

Customer: “Are you a Christian, dear?”

Me: “Why do you ask?”

Customer: “Are you?”

Me: “Well, no. Why do you want to know?”

Customer: “Oh. I would like to be helped by someone else,
please.”

Manager: “Good morning ma’am, I hear you’ve been having
a problem with the clerk?”

Customer: “Oh, she didn’t make any trouble, it’s just that I
don’t want my money to be handled by someone not of the
faith. You should be careful, she’ll probably nick from the till
when you’re not looking.”

Manager: “You’re right, ma’am, I shall definitely have to
reprimand her.”

Me: *surprised* “What for?”

Manager: “For failing to notice that the lady was not planning
on paying for the three Mars bars and the map of Europe she
must have put in her bag while you were fetching me.”

(The customer freezes for a second, then looks at her bag.)

Customer: “Good heavens! I must’ve been so distracted I didn’t
even notice the devil putting them there!”

Election '09

For the first time I don't know which party to vote for.

I decided to take a bunch of tests offered by the various newspapers and TV-networks to see what they say. There were seven in total, I got four different results.

Four of them tell me I should vote for the Centre Party.
One for the Labour Party
One for the Socialist Left Party
One for the Christian Democratic Party

(I choose to ignore that last result since something clearly went wrong there...)

Now... should I simply vote for the Centre Party since that's what most of the tests said? The party was among the top three in all seven tests (most included the seven largest parties in Norway) so clearly I agree with most of what they say.

A few things do make me question the results though.

• First off, a party which was among the top four in all but one test was rated in one as the party I have least in common with.
• Although the results are similar they are not identical - clearly the various tests are focusing on different things; how do I know which one focuses on what is more important for me?
• The tests show very different results as to how the general population should vote.
• In the only test which included the party Red, it was listed just below the overall winner - the Centre Party, the rating being almost identical. This clearly indicates my results would have been different had that party been included in the other tests.
  

Seems like I should check out the party Red some more after all. If you're gonna do it, do it right. So if I'm gonna go way left, go waay left this time. And for some reason I'm reluctant to vote for the Centre Party..


Now, why am I writing all this, when it's not of any particular interest to anyone? Simply to share my confusion, frustrations, and (in the case of you Norwegians) - the links to the tests;

Anyone seen my bills?

I seem to have made a habit of misplacing bills a few days before they have to be paid. The only bill which comes in the post is the electricity bill, and for some reason it is no longer where I put it (as usual I put it somewhere "smart" so I wouldn't lose it when moving).

Oh how I sometimes wish I was my former organized self, not the scatterbrain I've become!

Bergen goodbye

Yesterday I packed up my umbrellas, threw out my rubber boots and left Bergen for the last time.

The city decided to give me its very best send off - what is more Bergen than days on end of pouring rain? It followed us through the night, all the way home, and doesn't seem to be leaving any time soon.

Five years is a long time...

Too much information!

A lot of people complain about their Facebook-friends constantly updating their statuses with useless information. "Going to have dinner"... "Just had dinner"... "Watching a movie" - I know, who needs that right?

Fortunately I don't have too many of those. What I do have, however, is an aunt. Almost. She's my uncle's wife, 41 years young and kinda all over the place. Today she posted her quiz results from the test
"Where should you have SEX?";

On the bus
You know how to get around, traveling doesn't have to be boring! Spontaneity (and perhaps untamed horniness?) is a word which describes you well!

I like it when people are open and honest, but isn't this just a little too much information to share with your entire network of friends (not to mention your whole family.. including your 18 year old son)?

Then again, the test did make me curious... where should I have sex?

On a trampoline
A bouncy person like you whould enjoy the bounce of the trampoline! With the right rhytm and songs this could get pretty hot!

Now that's a thought...
(and no, I did not post that on Facebook!)
