Marketwatch.

Soooo. In a stunning, (but in many ways not particularly surprising,) turn i`ve started desiring knowing exactly what these many stock exchanges around the world contain. I think i`ll start with the Norwegian stock exchange and work my way out through Scandinavia as a whole. It shall be enlightening. I shall also have to learn rudely by picking some stocks i like and following their hapless descent at the mercy of whatever trading algorithm whim holds sway at any particular day... Oh well, i can live with that, anything that doesn`t involve me actually assigning blame for inopportune stock selection to myself is a good thing, right?! =)

So, in the "i`m stupid, but learning"-section today we have the case of the Mux. Which i for the life of me couldn`t figure out the last time around. Now i have, mostly because i had no idea that i could use the canonical to find the proper logic gate construction. The DMux is still capable of crashing my brain though... I`ll figure it out somehow.

I`m about to run out of HeadphoneCommute mixes, which is gruesome. Luckily i can start purchasing all the albums said mixes have gathered songs from now, and i have transferred quite successfully to laverna-releases. The question is where to go next. Musictrade is an option, but those releases are, how to put it, dense (and beautiful.)

My lower right back pain is becoming worrisome.

Life etc.

What to report? The tempo is increasing, and i`m comfortable with that. The day/night cycle is well underway to perfection, but i`m still not capable of motivating myself to get up when i awaken in the morning. I still need to run through some snoozing before i can be bothered. I really need to find a fix to that problem. I should be able to get up at six in the morning during the weekends!

Work is progressing smoothly, though i am at risk of being spoilt rotten by my current workplace. They are miles ahead of the other kindergardens i`ve been working for. So what happens when my current assignment ends on the first of march is anybodys guess. Though right after that there is a Kenny Garret concert in Bergen, so i`ll have some fun immediately afterwards.

My dreams are amusing, as always. Norseman Harper, yeah right. So time to start wondering about this years election special! Been a while since the last one! =)

Titular, Arular.

So. Things progress nicely. I am currently flat broke, but my paycheck shows up tomorrow, aftr which i`ll be....flat broke! nICE ISN`T IT! =)

Things of note as of late. Dvorak trending upwards, practicing hitting the ping pong ball whilst not actively looking at it (and knowing when the situation is so out of control that i have to look) trending upwards, listening to lectures (and remembering nary a sentence or concept) trending upwards, excercising trending upwards, work competence trending upwards, surplus energy trending upwards, dietary regimen trending upwards, 30/10 trending upwards, using computer games as therapy trending upwards, etc etc etc. I`m so incredibly optimistic and happy most of the time as to make this all rather odd, considering how used i am to trend downwards (which is sort of a lie, i`m used to trending upwards, but i tend to really tear myself apart after a mild upswing (which i am loath to do this time...)
So, the weekend will contain coop Saints Row sessions, which will be really amusing. With BeatBasement in the background it should be quite the treat, but i do not want to spend more than four or five hours on it, and i think i`ll keep a lecture running on the laptop simultaneously to get a hint of intelligent input along the way.

So, in other news. Project entryism 2012 is a-runnin ahead like a magnitorsk choo choo train. I attended my first meeting at Bergen Arbeidersamfund yesterday and was positively charmed. They`re a cozy bunch. And i lucked out by ending up next to a charming old lady and a former man of the cloth. Both of which ensured that everything went by smoothly and safely. The odd part was having something to do with Simon Selvik on the repeater during/post-meeting, which was quite amusing since when i searched Google for "bergen arbeidersamfund" today i came across the cv of another Selvik which died in 1983 and who had been active in BA. It might also be worth mentioning that Simon founded another reunion-group for the old Vaagen-gang today, which should be an interesting evening. (As long as i get another month to self-perfect in first, vain that i am!) Gotta be the freshness!

So, after having been enticed by a co-worker it seems that i will drag my perky ass to some dancing classes this semester. I don`t think i can blame Dan Klein for that, but it was amusing te see that he gave up martial arts for dancing. Though taking it to a competitive level seems kinda icky, i don`t really see why i would ever do that, even having started earlier...... Whatever, different strokes and all. So, BSI it is (again.) Should be immense fun. And then i`ll desperately try to look cool by sitting outside the dancing hall with the satest issue of Tanz. Yeah right, interesting magazine, by all means, but in the semesters when i don`t dance it`s a ridiculous expense which i hardly look at.

Doctor fuckn Doogie out.

Pogress.

Half part pogrom half part progress, but i digress.

The first real week of work has been finished, and this looks viable out through february. Which means i`ll have 20+k inbound, which is nice considering my very limited expenses. What to use them for is still somewhat up in the air, but i suspect i might hold on to them for a while. (Except of course some of the media services i should support and the software i need.) And if i find some waterproof gear i just HAVE to be in possession of then the notion of saving might go out the window (as i`ve already done myself... Hahahahaha. Defenestration is fun, as long as you aren`t the main actor. But in retrospect i`ll call it a worthwhile experience.)

Yah. So, this week i`ve been practicing some Dvorak, which is nice to gain proficency in (and easy to practice in ten-minute timeslots, which is part of the reason.) I`ve also gotten the full diet and exercise regime back in action, which causes me to feel quite well. Plenty of energy to do what i need to do. The first roleplaying-session of the year was a success judging from the amount of laughter around the table, but i should get into the habit of preparing for at least half an hour before our sessions..... :P
I`ve also managed to squeeze in some "De Nasjonale Strateger", and i have, to my great surprise, decided that i need to improve my note-taking skills, which i will then do throughout the reading of "DNS". It should be fun. And when i`m donewith that i can start reading the biography about Ole Jacob Broch, which will be very interesting indeed.

Other than that my brain is operating in a pretty average fashion, the odd visual alteration here an there under sensorily deprecated circumstances, but otherwise smooth sailing. It is indeed sailing, there are currents, and this should come as a surprise to some of us, which is why it bears pointing out.

Classic Tysnes.

So, last night was classic Tysnes, with chain smoking, continual and strenuous mental "alterations" with the same traditional flow. Seriosly, know how to sail that, and pretty much every part of the procedure before they even start. Granted, some of the impressions are novel, but the underlying attempt at either refining resistance or establishing a state of submission is the same as it ever was. Still strenous though, i`ll grant that, and the feeling of being exposed to the barest bone of my own idiocy is annoying, but not too problamatic, since i am aware of said idiocy, and consider the alternative, passivity, to be an unacceptable solution. And besides, the standard is still to not consider any of it actionable intelligence. (Though i may at times be considered doing such.)
So anyway, I`m going to actually watch a movie today, here`s to the hope that Sucker Punch doesn`t suck.
I actually downloaded iTunes yesterday, and discovered that movies were available in Norway... the horror, though i assume it won`t be too hard to limit myself. Now do me a favour and make the library of movies available as large and as varied as Karagarga and then we`re getting somewhere.
Other than that i discovered that Myka 9 AND Freestyle Fellowship both released albums this year, both of which i`v now bought and put on hold, i still have my kahvi-countdown project to work my way through. and then there is the Access to Arasaka - stuff, but hey, that`s for later.

When it comes to kahvi i`m currently on 097, which has one horrendously poor track and many good ones.

I started the new year with a bang! Also known as Dudley Perkins - Expressions (2012 A.U), it just seemed fitting.

The speed in my Dvorak-writing is improving, rapidly. This is nice, though i am still prone to looking down on the keyboard (whilst writing that line i did it, not surprisingly, all of the time. Dvorak feels really good!

Soooo, i just downloaded a 1.6 GB video in 10-15 minutes. I remember sitting in bed at night in the adjacent room twelve years ago with a 56k modem! Absurd, but eminently predictable....

Anyway, i need to create some twitter accounts and then watch a movie.

G out.
Bathing freshness 2hrs 20 minutes. We`re go!
