It's Desember 23rd. Time for...

Grevinnen og Hovmesteren A.K.A. Dinner For One

It's one of THE things I have to Watch every year before christmas eve, and it get better and better as I get older. It has been running for as long as I can remember and I've seen it every year since I was a child (well I've missed it two times in my life). Sitting now waiting for it to come on tv so I can watch it on the tv. 

So for those who are missing it or have never seen it here is it! 

Hope you enjoy it!

I'm holding out for the tv version. 

The Mid-Winter celebrations

Today I finished the shopping, wrapping and sending of the Jule (x-mas) presents and got a few treats for this time. The box of Ginger cookies, the rib-roll cuts and the bag of mixed nuts.

I personally don't celebrate the birth of Jesus as I'm not christian. I do however celebrate the old viking mid-winter feast. A gathering of the "clan"(family) for eating, giving gifts(or offerings).  While my mother might be more on the Jesus thing I never truly subscribed to it. 

But this year we're gathering at the house mom grew up in, my granma's house. It's going to be abit wierd as my granma is no longer with us but I'm sure we'll have a good jule-time anyway. Personally I'm so looking forward to the food and stuff and of course seeing the reactions to the gifts I give and what I get. 

Other than that I've sorted the entertainment for the holiday as I've bought Batman The Dark Knight on Blu-Ray and Gears of War 2 plus my multiple reading materials.

Trick Or Treat: A Review

I started to play a little Guitar Hero 3 tonight after having a discussion about games, Nintendo and guitars with my friend Jesse. I Then got in the mood for some old school metal. So I fired up the old cult classic Trick Or Treat, a 1986 Metal Horror, on DVD.

I have watched that one like a least 10-15 times when I was a like 13, and I have had a soft spot for it ever since. Sure it's cheesy and very 80's and the plot ain't the greatest either but I still think it's awesome. And I don't really care what people think of me thinking that. I am after all a child of the 80's -early 90's. And the appearance of Gene Simmons and Ozzy Osbourne is cool too.

The movie is about a boy at a high school that's the target of bullies that love metal and is kinda worshipping the metal icon Sammi Curr and the rest as they say is history. I don't want to spoil it for those of you that haven't seen it. Because I think that you should watch it. it should be super cheap to get a hold of now. I payed like 3-4$ for it on DVD.  And for if you like some good old 80's metal you'll enjoy this. I guess most people growing up during the late 80's have seen this at one halloween or other. It actually ran on tv here last year come to think of it on halloween. (Yeah halloween is somewhat celebrated here too)

Keeping Tabs

Why haven't I posted anything for a while?

Well, I've started to work again, Parttime at the airport, and have been working quite abit lately. Only had time to get up in the mornings and watch the Countdown with Keith Olbermann podcasts before heading to work and in the evenings watch The Rachel Maddow Show podcasts and check the sites I frequent. During the days I've been having off I've caught up on my TV shows and house chores and shopped for food. But it's great to be working again after being on the dole for about 8 months. 

Games I've played since the last blog. Well I haven't really had the energy to play much but I've played Doom on the 360, Pinball FX, Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix, the Portal Still Alive demo, The Sonic Unleashed demo and messed about with PlayStation Home. Home I kinda found "meh" so far, I don't see myself using that alot. 

And reading... Well if reading blogs and news sites and such count.. I've read some. Same reason as all the other things. 

But tonight I plan on playing something and maybe even read.
