I've let this quote marinate for a bit and I just keep laughing as a response...perhaps because I sub-consciously feel this way at times.

What an impertinent question.
But, you are right. What am I doing now? Skriver på norsk. Hvorfor.
(Writing in Norwegian. Why) And even translates it.
You know why?

Piece of cake: Alle foreign language movies here are subtitled into Norwegian. That's ok, when the actors speaks slowly or shortly, but when words pouring out of their mouths like waterfalls, or people are shouting against each other, it's rather hard to follow chinese and russian movies a.o.

What was the point????

breal: the third Doctor (Jon Pertwee) had a lot of good lines and exchanges, although, he (and every other doctor) are overshadowed by Tom Baker’s Doctor.
I think it is more powerful without the “My dear, chap” preface.

cavalock: it is considered by some to be a weaker episode, but I liked it. I thought it provided a good illustration of e = mc^2.

toraa: I don't think the question was impertinent at all because it wasn't directed at anyone it.

Eleven years ago today

So what happened 11 years ago today? According to wikipedia and BBC’s On This Day – not much. Lot’s of things have happened on March 10th, but, apparently, nothing newsworthy happened on 10-March-1995. On this day, I met Sofia for the first time. I remember this, not because I was so impressed with Sofia, but because of the way I remember things. I remember most of my first encounters with future friends – but generally not the date I met them. But … there is one thing I do tend to remember – birthdays. I remember meeting Sofia because I was asked to pick her up and bring her to a friend’s birthday party. How did this first meeting go? Me: Hi. Are you Sofia? Sofia: Yes. Me: I’m Richard, I’m supposed to pick you up to go to Olga’s party. Sofia: Yes, let me get my coat. Me: I think you should change you skirt and put on a pair of pants. Sofia: No, it’s ok. Me: This is Canada, it is still winter and it can get very cold. Sofia: I’ll be fine, besides we’re going by car. Me I sti...

Desperately Seeking Souls

Saw this blog thing over at Lunafish 's site and, since I liked my results, I decided to do it on my blog as well. You Are a Seeker Soul You are on a quest for knowledge and life challenges. You love to be curious and ask a ton of questions. Since you know so much, you make for an interesting conversationalist. Mentally alert, you can outwit almost anyone (and have fun doing it!). Very introspective, you can be silently critical of others. And your quiet nature makes it difficult for people to get to know you. You see yourself as a philosopher, and you take everything philosophically. Your main talent is expressing and communicating ideas. Souls you are most compatible with: Hunter Soul and Visionary Soul What Kind of Soul Are You?
