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 121: Salvation - Piccie Review
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.

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. :)

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. ;)

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.
