• The console lovers

  Tags: Daily Random, Games

  That’s us! Right now, we have no less than four gaming consoles in regular use, and we haven’t even bought the Playstation 3 yet (and too bad that is, as the one that is sold now isn’t backwards compatible, meaning we’d have to have both the PS3 and the PS2 out still. Why, Sony? WHY?). As you can imagine, this causes some

  We had our meeting with the bank today, regarding our complaint that they hadn’t given us the proper guidance before we signed the papers to take up a loan to buy that house you’ve heard me yammering on about for the last month (wow - it’s really been a month since we found out that it would ruin us!). They’re not in

  I am sorry for being weak. I haven’t gone to the gym as much as I - and you - would have liked. I fail at that. I promised I would go at least once a week, and not even that have I managed. To my defense though, I have had a lot going on lately that has weakened me mentally, causing me to not want to leave the house at all. The other point I

• My upcoming dilemma, let me show you it

  Tags: Daily Random

  Ok, so. As mentioned in a previous post, our wedding is now only three weeks away. Almost everything is in place. We have our clothes for the day, photographer is booked, hairdresser is booked, food is being taken care of… But for me, there is still one decision that has to be made. I don’t necessarily have to make it before the

• Will you come home with me and see my stamp collection?

  Published: April 18, 2008, 4:42 pm

  Tags: Daily Random, Dad, Stamps

  One of the things you can’t see from my sparse photos of my office space, are the piles of used stamps that I have lying around. They are not for me, I haven’t yet reached that level of geekiness. My dad, however, has. He used to collect stamps as a little boy, then stopped when he got older. But now that he is unable to work, he has

  the system we use in our daily work. Today the administrators had had the audacity to change the left-hand menu without notifying the rest of us. How rude. Paper clips. I always liked paper clips, until I started this job. Now, they are THE ENEMY. I prefer them to staples though. Staples are enemy #1. They are my nemesis. Why? Neither paper

• Friday I'm in love

  Published: April 18, 2008, 9:58 am

  Tags: Daily Random

  Friday! Friday! This week has been so long, for no particular reason at all. And today was no good at all to begin with - yesterday I fell asleep on the couch after taking painkillers for my headache, and I had a utterly horrible half hour of sleep. Then I went to bed again at 22:30 and fell asleep immediately, which caused me to have slept for

  Tags: Daily Random, Computer, Laptop, Windows Vista

  I have a problem. Or, Windows Vista does. Or my laptop does. I don’t really know which one of us it is. Here’s the deal: Whenever my laptop connects to the wireless network (it disconnects when I close the lid, then reconnects automatically when I open it up again), Windows Firewall turns itself off, which of course causes Windows to

  Tags: Daily Random, Depression, Positivity

  Ok, it’s not really post-crisis - financially, the crisis hasn’t even begun, it’s just looming in the distance. My mental state, however, is more post-crisis. Or at least getting there. I no longer have trouble eating (one week of slight depression resulted in a quick weight loss because I didn’t eat much - not really the

• Renate vs the insurance company - the battle continues

  Published: April 25, 2008, 5:00 pm

  Tags: Daily Random

  Someone please book me a ticket to Bergen so that I can show up in person and shake my fist angrily at my insurance company. Everything is so complicated. In January, I started asking for offers from different insurance companies to find a good package deal for us (two cars, travel, death/invalidity for both of us - full life insurances, not term

  Yes, I’ve been abroad today. To be fair though, we only went across the border to Sweden, to buy some beer and wine for the wedding (it’s cheaper there than here). It was an eventful journey. Tor was tired, and I was worried that he would fall asleep and drive us off the road. I always keep an eye on him when I know he’s driving

  If I thought I was done fixing things and buying things for the wedding, I was wrong. I suddenly remembered yesterday that I had to get a strapless, white bra to wear under the dress. So off I went, to brave the city on a Saturday. It went surprisingly well - I found an already decently priced bra that I loved, and even got 30% off for being a

  I love giveaway contests. And I love handbags. I love them so much I recently went out and spent NOK 700 on one that I somewhat already have - I just bought the smaller one (the big one I bought to use as a travel bag, one that could fit my laptop, DS, book(s) and every item big and small that I NEED when I travel). However, a girl can never have

  Feah’s post with 10 random facts, and one thing in particular caught my attention and prompted me to write a related post of my own: I still can't remember what right and left is. Therefore, when I'm writing a stylesheet (or something else that requires left/right knowledge) and have to put in certain values for the right and left
