roguem: (Serenity - River Axe Dead Reavers)
It only took two days, but I finally found and watched the final episode of season one of "Prison Break". Good stuff, now I just have to get dad to get started on season 2, taped the first episode for him on Friday, and now that I've caught up I'd like to watch it too.
Can I just say how much I loved Abruzzi and the axe? I know, I know, that's crazy. I can't help it, that moment had me cheering. 

Am now watching "Rome". Have gotten into it now. Not my fave thing ever, but enjoyable non the less. At least I'll learn something.

Have started to wonder if some of my entries aren't showing up on your flists. Or it's just been a quiet few days.

It's been a little while since my latest episode of 'Norwegian Artist Pimping', so I'll give you another episode.
But first, links to the previous entries: Part 1 )  Part 2 ) Part 3 ) Part 4 ) ( Part 5 ) ( Part 6 ) ( Part 7 ) Part 8 )
And now it's time for another exiting episode:
Part 9 )

SOLD

Oct. 5th, 2006 11:50 pm
roguem: (Serenity - River Closed Mind)
We sold the house. No other bids came in this morining, but by the time I finished the post this morning I was pretty sure that's how it would go. So as of 12:00 today our house is off the market and the paper work will proceed. The guy who bought the house rang out door bell at 12:02 asking if he could take a look around again. It was a Vietnameese man with a wife and four kids, so they need the space. He said that they had been looking for a place for a year, and the second he had stepped into this house he'd known that this was his new home. 
Can't blame him, that's pretty much how we felt when we wtepped into this house for the first time. 
We'll be moving out sometime in the middle of January. So at least I'll get a final christmas here, very pleased about that.

I need new icons... think I'll delete all the ones I have and start fresh. 

[profile] isil80 came by in the afternoon. We just took it easy, my mom isn't feeling to good so we sat with her for a while just talking. Afterwards we headed up to my room and watched 'X-Men: The Last Stand'. I've had time to think about the film, and though it doesn't come close to the greatness of the first two I refuse to blame Brett Ratner for that. It's still a fun ride, and it's tried to hold on to what the first two did, it just doesn't do it as nicely as they did. Hard to explain. I know this film will end up in my DVD collection at some point, but there's no rush.
After the movie we just sat talking, was very nice. We watched two episodes of "Angel" I wanted to show her Joss Whedon as Numfar, but we ended up watching two eps; "Through the Looking Glass"  & "There's No Place Like Plrtz Glrb". Was fun. I love Numfar and his dance, so brilliant.

After [profile] isil80 left I just took it easy, been going through my flist. 

Tomorrow it looks like there'll be a trip to the cinema with [personal profile] beluga and [profile] isil80, to see 'Little Miss Sunshine'. Will be much fun.
And let's not forget; I'll finally get to see episode 2 of "Supernatural".

Now new addition of the Norwegian artists, just links to the old ones: Part 1 )  Part 2 ) Part 3 ) Part 4 ) ( Part 5 ) ( Part 6 ) ( Part 7 )
roguem: (Supernatural - promo)

My aunt left yesterday morning. We drove her to the airport and helped her check in. And then she left. This week just passed way to quickly. We're pestering her about coming up and joining us for christmas, so am hoping that will happen.

We had a showing of the house yesterday afternoon as well. My parents and I left the house while it was going on and left it to the real estate guy. When we got back we were met by some pleasant news, we'd already gotten a bid. It was for our asking price, but we decided to wait until the deadline, which is today at 12 a.m. to give a final answer in case there would be some other bids. There were two couples who came after the official showing as well, so they have the details as well. There's a woman coming now, to have a look as well. The doorbell just rang, so I'm guessing that's her. She doesn't have long if she wants to put in a bid... 45 minutes. 
Y'all know I'm not crazy about the whole moving idea, but this still is kind of exiting. Seing how much well get for the house and how many people are interested. There were quite a few interested yesterday, but after the first bid, most of them have pulled out. There is another guy who got the papers though, so if he really wants to put in a bid, we should hear something soon.
I do hope we'll get another bid though, it is a very nice house. Plus it would be great for my parents, that way they know what they can look for if that flat we found doesn't happen.

I don't really have much else to tell at the moment. Kind of caught up in the whole sale thing. 
They were just up here looking, I don't know, they didn't seem that entusiastic, but they might just been holding on to their poker faces.

I'll spam you with some more Norwegian artists:

Part 7 )
Previous installments: Part 1 )  Part 2 ) Part 3 ) Part 4 ) ( Part 5 ) ( Part 6 )

It's 11:45 a.m. now. In 15 minutes the house will either be sold or we'll have a new bid. I don't really know what will happen, but at this point I'm thinking that it'll be sold by 12:01.

I promised [profile] lizamarie some Sam Winchester icons a while back, I made a few, so the ones she doesn't want are up for grabs. There's a couple of Dean Winchester icons as well.

[profile] miss_nightowl I know I promised you some caps from the Amadeus movie, could you remind me which scenes you wanted?

Any other requests? Let me know, I'll make icons, banners & friends only banners, screencaps and sound bites.

roguem: (Supernatural - Spoilers)
Am frantically trying to download the season opener of "Supernatural". Got to 83% on one download before it crapped out on me, so have started a new one, it's on 5% so far. This hectic downloading stuff can be seriously stressful. I refuse to go through my flist until I've seen it, which sould hopefully be sometime today.

Okay, lets rewind to Wednesday afternoon. We were looking at a flat on the othe side of the city. It was gorgeous, it was perfect for us, and I could actually imagine living there for a while. Sadly we lost the bidding, well, we didn't even get to start bidding before our maximum was reached. But it's made us hopeful that we will find something that everybody can be happy with.

When we got back home we were pleasently suprised by a phone call from my Aunt Teresa, who lives in Germany, saying that she would be coming for a visit the next day. She'd booked the flight and would be staying for a little under a week. I was very happy, haven't seen her since Graduation, and that was such a short gathering, so I was glad that she'd be coming.

Anyway, Thursday I spent some time at work helping out, and then my parents picked me up on their way to the airport. The plane arrived early. Was so lovely to see her again, whe was very happy to be coming too. We all piled into the car and drove back home. My aunt got all her stuff in order. She'd brought some sweets for me, jummy. Sat downstairs with them talking for a while. They went to a showing, I opted to stay home as nobody was overly enthusiastic about that flat and I had stuff to do.

In the evening we all just took it easy, sat watching telly and talking a bit. I started playing with my aunt's phone, as I can never stay away from new toys. My mom's been nagging me that I should get a new cell, so I just wanted to check out what my Aunt's Motorola had to offer. I'm really a Nokia person to be honest, but figured I had to see what the others are offering. Ended up playing with all the functions on her phone for a while. Kind of in an offhand remark I told my mom that I wanted one of those phones for christmas. As it is a phone and MP3 player, awesom. My aunt understood this and said I could have her phone. I had no idea what to say... I mean I did want it, but I couldn't just take her phone. I said it was too much, but bothe her and my mom said that my aunt didn't need half of the functions on that phone, and she could have one of ours. So now I have a new Motorola phone. Which rocks. I spent rest of the evening sorting out the phonebooks in the mobiles that had been exchanged. My aunt will have to send me the applications to the phone when she gats back to Germany, so then I'll be loading it up with some choice tunes. I still think it was way to generous, however we do trade a lot of stuff within the family, so it's not unusual.

I finished my "Supernatural" marathon this morning. Now I'm just waiting for the episode I'm downloading to finish and for [personal profile] beluga to get here, so I can finally watch the season opener. 43% so far, just hope this one works.

Wanna hit the cinema this weekend. 'Little Miss Sunshine' actually made it to the bigscreen over here. [profile] isil80[personal profile] beluga? Wanna join me?

Okay, now for part 3 of my Norwegian artist pimping, you can find part 1 & 2 in my previous posts.

roguem: (Supernatural - Spoilers)

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?

[personal profile] 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?

In here )

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.
