All I want to do, is be more like me and be less like you

First, I have a feeling they didn't show up on my flist properly, and also it's a chance for the newbies to check it out:

Supernatural 122: Devil's Trap - Review with pictures
Dial uppers be warned.

When my parents started this whole thing about wanting to move to a smaller apartement I figured they would take their time, and maybe I'd have a chance to start looking for one of my own before we actually had to leave the house. Seems I was way to optimistic. I've been honest with my parents, said I'm not happy with the situation, but I understand that they want something smaller. 
They put in on a bid on a place, it was a very nice flat, but they got outbid and left it alone. They've contacted the realtor so he can get started on the process of selling the house. As much as I love my parents, even in this house I sometimes feel that we're living to close, a little apartment won't help matters. It's also, that I've been moving back and forth from London for the last 3 years, I was finally looking forward to some stability, not having to think of moving for another year. And I'm uprooted again. I'm so tired of packing up my life and moving around. 
I feel like I can't fully relax here anymore, because I keep waiting to hear my parents tell me it's time to start packing again.
Just feeling a bit hopeless right now, only time will tell.

On the upside. I sent an application via post to Nordisk Film about a moth ago. So yesterday I checked the e-mail I set up for work purposes, and there was a mail from them asking me to send my CV via e-mail, so I would be easier to distribute in between the departments. This got my hopes up a little bit, hopefully there might be something for me there. It's in Oslo though, so I'd have to move, but to be honest since that would be moving to my own place I'd be happy. The more I think about it Oslo isn't a bad place to end up, I really didn't want to initially as I'm not to fond of Oslo, but I have friends there, and it's much easier to come home here to visit my family and friends than any of the other places. Cross your fingers for me?

beluga stopped by here yesterday, was very nice. We sat talking for a while, ended up watching an episode of 'Psych', followed by 'Supernatural: Faith', and the first two episodes of season 3 of 'House M.D.'.
On a side note: I've discovere that 'Psych' used a location that's been used in 'Supernatural'. I can provide photographic evidence if you wish.

Okay, and now for a little project I'm working on. Pimping norwegian artists. Behind the cut are three music videos from YouTube, featuring different Norwegian artists. Have a listen and look and see what you think. We all like finding new music don't we?

Christine Guldbrandsen - Surfing In The Air.
This beautiful Celtic ethno pop ballad from the young rising Norwegian star Christine Guldbrandsen, shot in the dramatic landscape on the saga island of Iceland, was what really shot Christine to fame in Norway. In Norway, many people are saying about her that she might become the new Sissel Kyrkjebø, probably Norway's answer to Carola.
She was Norway's contestant in the Euro Vision Song contest this year, but that was with a different song.

"The Living Daylights" by A-Ha (1987)
The theme song to the James Bond film 'The Living Daylights' featuring Timothy Dalton as James Bond. 
It's one of my fave Bond songs.

Bertine Zetlitz - Girl Like You.
The video of Bertine Zetlitz' Hit of 2003.
She's pretty popular in Norway, I have no idea if anybody outside of Norway has heard of her though.

I'll keep posting vids like this every once in a while, have collected quite a few. Not all bands I like, but that doesn't mean you guys won't like 'em. Hope you find something that tickles your fancy.

I'm so sorry to hear you're feeling that way. I do understand though, I felt the same when my mom decided to sell her house, and I had to pack everything up. I do hope things will work out and that you can find a place for yourself soon.

And I've got my fingers crossed for you and the job at Nordisk Film. :)

I may have gone *squeeeeee!* when I saw you had A-ha linked. ;) I've loved them ever since the early 80's and still do. That song is my fave Bond song. Well that, and Duran Duran's "A view to a kill".

[roguem.livejournal.com]

Thank you. Will just have to take the time and see how things develop.

Thank you very much. :D

Hehe, That song is awesome, and 'A View to A Kill' is also my other fave Bond song. Maybe not the most popular films in the series, but the songs rocked. :D

[cologne-chick.livejournal.com]

I don't read your review...not yet because I haven't seen these eps yet. But I'm pretty sure I will do as soon as I saw the episodes.

Moving is nice sometimes on the one hand but a lot of work. And you said that you had to move several times? That sucks. I totally can understand that you feel hopeless *hugs*

Oh "Faith" was a great episode. I loved it :-)

[roguem.livejournal.com]

No worries, take your time. :D

It can be nice, I agree, but right now I was looking forward to some peace. But will just have to take the time, and see how things develop.

It's one of my fave episodes in the series, just awesome.

[moonlightstorm.livejournal.com]

I've never moved before, so I can't say that I know how you feel, but that's completely understandable. I can't even imagine that. :/ I used to have to fight with my parents to keep us from moving, and the idea was just scary. I hope you're able to find something that works for you. ♥

[roguem.livejournal.com]

We're looking. they actually found something today that looked apealing. Only time will tell :)

[zellyr.livejournal.com]

I am really sorry you feel this way :( Moving around is never easy. How did your parents react then you told them how you feel?

I cross my fingers for you so hard the almost bleed.

What is beluga up to? She haven´t updated in a long time.

[roguem.livejournal.com]

My mom starts explaining that the house is to big for them, so I'm kind of tired of explaining things.

Thank you very much. I'm hoping too, would be so lovely to have steady employment.

She's busy in boyfriend land. She made an update a while back.
Think they're getting an internett conection at his place sometime next week so she should be back to some degree then.

[zellyr.livejournal.com]

I see, still sucks for you thought.

Thanks, I started thinking the other day, that she haven´t been around for a while.

[roguem.livejournal.com]

We actually saw a flat today that was really nice, and would mean some okay space for me too. Right now I'm trying to focus on the possibilities.

Yeah, it's been a while. She tries to check in every once in a while though, don't know how much she actually manages to read.

[m-agda.livejournal.com]

I'm most impressed with the reviews. There are pictures. Many many pretty pictures. Awed, I am.

For all the hassle with home-swapping you certainly deserve the movie job. That's how karma should work. I'm sure the Nordisk Film people will see the light.

I was thinking about checking out this 'Psych' stuff. Heard good things about it. Said checking out probably won't take place anytime soon, with the recent massive tv attack, but sometime somewhere someway before the next season. When all my beloved tv babies go for the inevitable break, there's nothing like a good summer show to help with all the pining. But the question is, does it actually live up to the hype?

'Faith' is definitely one of the best one to work through a Dean withdrawal. Now I have this crazy urge to dig out my 'Supernatural' dvd and see for myself. Just to, you know, make sure. It's right there, in the drawer, at the hand's reach, you could say. Or I could go to bed and sleep a little, it being 3 a.m. and all. Dean is, sadly, no sleep substitute. I don't really know why, it would be wonderfully convenient. Would make my life a whole lot easier, too.

Oh, dear. I'm rambling. Sorry. Moving on.

So, how's the new 'House' looking for you? Oh oh oh, and remember my not-so-awestruck-reaction? Episode 3 is totally awesome. Season 3 is definitely a go.

And you have videos, too. Music with pictures. I like pictures. Preferably moving. But they are kinda blurry. Oh, it's my dropping eyelids, really? My bad. I guess I'll check them when the sun is actually up. Ehm, noonish that is.

[roguem.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much. :D
Glad you liked them. I have a review like that of 'Provenance' too, can dig up the link if you'd like.

Yes, am crossing my fingers for Karma to kick in, so I'll get a steady job.

It's funny. Don't know if it deserves all the hype it's been getting. Hard to say. I have weird humor though. It has however in the last six episodes featured one location used in Supernatural, and two actresses that have been in Supernatural, if you're desperate for something that links to Supernatural. ;)

I just finished 'Home', am having a little marathon before the start of season 2, started yesterday. Means I'll have to see 'Faith' again tomorrow or the day after, but I don't mind, I love that episode.
3 a.m. might not be the best time to start watching TV, no. Save it for the day after. I can't remember asking you.. what are your fave SPN episodes?

No worries, Supernatural rambling is always good. :)

I like it, was a little thrown, and am worried about what'll happen now, he seems to be loosing it a bit. Still love the show though.
And I felt really smart when I cracked the 'two people in one' thing long before House did.

Hope you like them when you get a chance to look and listen. Better to be awake when you do though. :)

[m-agda.livejournal.com]

A 'Provenance' one with pretty pretty pictures? Sure, bring it on.

May you be granted a steady job that would keep you in chocolate, cimena tickets and Internet accesses. I'm with you on this one, girl.

If it's funny, then I'm sold. Me and 'Psych' will certainly make a closer acquiantance somewhen in the foreseeable future.

Oh, dear, the withdrawal really hit you bad, didn't it? Fret not, just four days to go.

I think my favorite would be 'Provenance', 'Hell House', 'Faith', 'Pilot' and, hmm, 'Asylum', I think. But, you know, all the other episodes that have Dean in them are worth watching, too ;)

I worried that House seemed a bit off, too. His jerkitude (his most winning attribute, certainly) seemed to be kinda damaged. Episode 3 helped a lot, though. It seems Dr Gregory House is fully back.

Kudos for the 'two people in one' thing. I didn't suspect a thing. Good percepto there.

Christine Guldbrandsen has quite impressive voice, but it appears that ethno pop is not really for me.
Liked the A-Ha piece. And, Timothy Dalton, while decidedly not my favorite Bond, was kinda rakish back then, don't you think? He was the Edgy Bond, I believe.
I'm so-so about Bertine Zetlitz. I suppose I just prefer the heavier stuff.
Do you have something in Norwegian? I don't believe I've ever actually heard that language. Wait, I watched 'Elling', so technically I did. Anyway, I'm curious.

[roguem.livejournal.com]

Yes, with picturea, and even a little snark. ;)
http://roguem.livejournal.com/181483.html

Hehe, thank you very much.

Hope you enjoy 'Psych'.

Yes, the fandom owns me, but only 3 days to go till I have a new episode to squee about.

Yes, I was worried about his jerkitude as well, but that's the part that made me sure that his leg wasn't healed, and that he'd snap back into his old self soon.

I only got the 'two people in one' thing because it's been on an episode of CSI. If someone has two different types of DNA that tends to be the reason... on TV at least.

Glad you checked out the music, have some different stuff for the next round. Can include one of the Norwegian language ones.
Heavier stuff?
You've seen 'Elling'? Cool, what's you think?

[m-agda.livejournal.com]

Oooh, pretty. Well, first creepy, then pretty, but OOOOH, PRETTY. Man, I loved 'Provenance'. The breaking-and-entering scene was so ass-kicking that I genuinely squeed out loud. Which actually shocked the hell out of me, because I'm an Silent Internal Squeeer kind of a fangirl - I do goofy grins (a lot), dreamy eyes (a lot), but sounds? not really (unless I'm watching with my friends - a much too rare an occurence - it seems I perform better with an audience ;) There was just so much good stuff in there. Dean denied reading 'Da Vinci Code' (though I think he totally did read it), Dean in just a t-shirt and not his usual seventy-four layers of over-garments, Dean hacking at the glass with a gun before realizing that he can just shoot at it, Dean-- oh my, I'm getting wound up again. I already did a mega-review (well, not as 'mega' as yours, but pretty big for me) of it, I thought I vented enough. Seems it's never really enough.

Don't worry about House. Last Tuesday's episode proves quite nicely that the Snarky God of the Mean is back. Unless they screw him up again this week. Which would be bad.

Hehe, CSI. And people say that watching tv is not educational.

Yeah, I like my music to be on the heavier side (or whatever the actual term for that is). Rock, punk, metal, they are friends of mine. Though they are kinda annoyed that they have to share me with jazz and instrumental movie soundtracks

I thought 'Elling' was a lovely movie, in fact. It was cheerful. It was funny. It was slightly bizarre. An excellent mix.

[roguem.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked that spam too. :)
I love that episode, so many brilliant moments, and like you I squees out loud a few times, which I rarely do.
I loved that scene when Dean was sitting on the bed with nothing but the t-shirt, man that was hot.
That episode was just great on so many levels.

Hopefully I'll get caught up with 'House' on Friday or Saturday. Need to download ep.4.

You can learn a lot from TV, jup. :)

Okay, kind of what I guessed, but wanted to be sure. Well, check my latest post, rock group singing in Norwegian as per your request. :)
I'm kind of all consuming when it comes to music, but I tend to stay away from most Rap and Britney Spears.

Yeah, that was a pretty accurate description I think. I haven't seen that film in ages, but I really enjoyed it.

[m-agda.livejournal.com]

The funny thing is, all that 'Provenance' squeeing made me go back to what I actually wrote about it (http://m-agda.livejournal.com/16654.html#cutid3) fresh after it aired. And, while I thought it was good, I really wasn't all that wildly enthusiastic as I'm now. A beautiful thing, the passing time, don't you think? Makes everything prettier. Well, makes most of things prettier. Anyway, NOW I think 'Provenance' is absolutely great.

Thanks, I already checked it out. Liked it, too.
Good, keep up the evasive moves. Britney Spears might damage your brain.

I'd write something more, but your icon keeps distracting me. Really, I just stare at it and can't stop. It's a danger to society, girl ;)

[roguem.livejournal.com]

Read your review, good stuff. I tend not to pay too much attention to the whole 'Heroes get longer time to escape/destroy evil thing' in scary movies as it's pretty much usual fare. Though I think the Winchesters have the upper hand in those situations because they have weapons/knowledge.
I've had a few things I've grown to love more over time too. I loved 'Provenance' from the get go though. Think it's the only Sam-centric eppy on my faves list. But a lot of that is due to Dean.

I saw.
Oh, yeah. Am staying well away from Britney.

Hehe, I love that icon. Love that scene. It is rather captivating.

[yeuxdebleu.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, I'm so sorry you'll have to move. I hate moving.

I hope you get good news from Nordisk. That would make you feel better, I'm sure.

[roguem.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Am hoping it'll still take a while. The though of packing just exhausts me at the moment.

Thank you very much. I am hoping too, obviously. It's the biggest firm in Norway, and spans to Denmark and Sweden as well, so would be an awesome opportunity.

[yeuxdebleu.livejournal.com]

Yes, packing is exhausting and time consuming because you have to pack breakables very carefully, plus mark the boxes to indicate which room the movers should put them in.

It's the biggest firm in Norway, and spans to Denmark and Sweden as well, so would be an awesome opportunity.

WOW! A great opportunity indeed!

[roguem.livejournal.com]

Very true. Also you're forced to throw stuff away as well. And I'm not to keen on doing that now.
Anyway, they're still looking. Never know if it'll still take a year as the market looks a bit depleted.

[yeuxdebleu.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you'll get a job with Nordisk. Then you can move into your own place. That will make moving not so bad, I think.

[roguem.livejournal.com]

Thank you and Thank you. :)

[lizamarie.livejournal.com]

It's a very difficult situation what you're having to go through. Change is always a little scary. I'm sure once it's all over you'll feel a bit better as time goes by. *hug*

*squee* a-ha! I loved them back in the 80s and still do. Morten Harket is just so gorgeous. *grin* Same here, I also think it's one of the best JB themes.

[roguem.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I'm sure it'll go okay. It's just exhausting as I had finally settled back in after London and now have to move again.

A-Ha were and are great. Will be posting some of their newer vids later on. I love that JB theme, I think that on and Duran Duran's 'A View to a Kill' are my faves.

[starlit-woods.livejournal.com]

Hi sweetie, sorry I can't comment properly I'm feeling a bit sick at the moment, but I saw this link on my flist and thought of you. It's around 300 pics of Supernatural *hugs*

http://community.livejournal.com/sunny_roads/6696.html

[roguem.livejournal.com]

Sorry you're feeling sick. Take your time and rest. We miss you here, but will still be her when you get back. *Big hugs*

Thank you so much for the link.

[sexy-wolfy.livejournal.com]

I hate moving. Me and my wife just moved into our new house and we still havn't finished. There's so much stuff to move, it's crazy. I don't want to move again for a long time.

[roguem.livejournal.com]

It's so much work, isn't it?

Well, congratulations on the new place. Hope you get everything in place soon. :)

[tygerx.livejournal.com]

Sorry you were feeling so distraught! *hugs and crossing fingers too* ;)

[roguem.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much. :)
