As already mentioned before, they're quite bright :P But they do have the advantage of being able to grill and chill outside until at least 11 p.m. Like at Magnus' going-away-barbecue last Tuesday at St. Hanshaugen park. They also let you kinda lose track of time. So you might end up drinking wine with your roomies at 1:30 at night without even noticing while you in fact have to hold a presentation the very next morning ...

Other than that, not much has happened here since I got back from Germany. Working hard as usual, trying to deal with some issues at home and slowly getting accustomed to the thought of moving back in less than two months time. Next to Bleed I'm doing some side projects at the moment – logo and t-shirts for André's (our flash developer) online kitesurf forum and a book illustration for a publication due this fall. While I'll be putting up some final results of the first task very soon, the other will take at least one more week. Also enjoyed a nice dinner at Astrid's last weekend, some after work wine and sun rays on Wednesday and Thor Viggo's very first live performance at one of my favorite bars here, the tiny Sound of Mu. Stian, who fixed him up with this gig, djs there on a regular basis.

By the way, please excuse my mediocre choice of movies these past weeks, it's just that lately I'm usually quite mashed at the end of a day and not really in the mood for anything demanding. And well, aXXo provides me with just the opposite sort of films :)

Last Wednesday, two of my flatmates – the swedish ski bum duo Niklas and Magnus – left the building for good. The guy who's originally renting the room wants to move back in. While Niklas is staying in Oslo and just signed the contract for another flatshare (with more swedish ski bums), Magnus headed home for a couple of days before jetting over to Los Angeles to try his luck on a very expensive music school. Really sucks that he's leaving as he is definitely one of the three or four people here I actually had something in common with, a sort of connection or whatever you wanna call it. Anyways, good luck over there buddy, don't catch any STD's off them american biddies and maybe someday we'll go wakeboarding on swedish lakes :D
