After a quick breakfast & morning swim at Gressholmen, there is no better place than the deserted study halls. (at least for the nerdy person). Perfectly air-conditioned….  

Making it work.

Recently arrested for breaking the terms of his parole, spending the evening at McDonald’s with wife and kids, instead of dropping by the police station.

A true menace to society….

The battle of contemporary “journalism”.  

While most people are faithful to either Dagbladet or VG (or recent them both equally), some shifty souls decide on which to by after a quick glance at the front page. The July 1st edition presented, for once, completely different covers… 

“Puuuh, Now its 33C” and “Dog saved by Chemotherapy”

VG

• Au-pair (21) drowned in Norwegian mansion
• Unfortunate-burglar broke into …boxers home.
• Puuuh! Now its 33C
• Cheap sunscreen is better
• Monster ladybugs to arive any time

Dagbladet

• Espen Eckbo of to see Michael (Jackson`s) dead body
• Norway’s 25 best Crime books
• Dog saved by Chemotherapy
• Girl 14 survived (plane-crash)

Now, which one to bring to the beach?

The water trade is no longer the cash cow it used to be. Sales dropped almost every month this year compared to previous years.

Looks like financial crisis beat global warming…

Despite the slow market, Tobias Skretting from Jæren have invested 40 mill NOK in the development of Morène spring water, aiming for the luxurious European market. 

Competing with Voss, the first Norwegian water making international waves. The trendy Voss water is now feeling the draft, loosing money despite being endorsed by superstars such as Madonna and Lindsay Lohan.

Isklar, a new brand partially financed by the sultan of Oman (300 million NOK). Thinking of it, selling glacial mineral water to the rich and thirsty middle-easterners sounds like the greatest idèa ever!

Note to developers of Isklar, bottle looks great but the cap is way too tight, impossible to open when dehydrated and lethargic.

A stylish accessory chasing the bugs away…

*Warning: The smell of geraniol and linanol might also chase away people.  

New collection inspired by Soviet science fiction film “Stalker”, embracing gloomy shades. Glamorous depression….

The film plots around a mysterious meteor crater called “The Zone”,  everyone who gets there alive, will have their innermost desires come true!

Available at Freudian kicks, late August 09

Luv the shoes.

Artist Unni Askeland follow the footsteps of Anne-Kat Hærland and Finn Schøll, launching her own sparkeling blend og wine.

The use of celebrities to sell wine have several advantages.

#1 Its all in the name, Love X is much easier to remember and pronounce than “Chateau de …..”

#2 Surpassing the devious law against alcohol advertisement, bringing on lots of “redaksjonell omtale” (commercial in disguise) which is protected by the constitution of Norway § 100, freedom of speech.

Love X is available at Vinmonopolet from July 09

Simen looking super sweet (yet manly), carrying pink logs.

The collection contain some improvements regarding shoes, implementing high-heels. Pointy heels, effectively plow through the skint soil of Norways boundless farmland.

Giving tractors a run for their money…
