Enter my lair
As we say here, late is better than never. I suppose that goes for my post here as well. I’ve been moved in in my new, little apartment for about two weeks now, and I thought it was time to post some pictures, both of seriousity and randomness.
First of all, I’m really content with the neighbourhood and district in general. It’s maybe three kilometres or something away from Oslo city centre. Bjølsen is in reality an old industry worker’s district, but today, the area is covered with small, but fashionable houses and newly-built blocks of flats. Yet, it isn’t a part of the poshier districts either, even though I believe you have to be somewhat well off to live in the ordinary residences here. Altogether, it’s a nice, quiet place, yet very central.
Another positive thing is that I live only a couple of hundred metres away from Den Lille Kokosbollefabrikken . I’ll end up all broke if I continue going there all the time. ;P
But time for some pictures!

Suspicious. Very.
It’s small and cute!
I went to have a look at my student-apartment today. It was reeeeeally tiny, but as expected and it looked really nice. The Student Housing at Bjølsen altogether seemed like a pretty peaceful and idyllic area to be honest, and even better - I’ll be living only a couple of hundred metres away from a café selling homemade coconut-buns. ;D
I didn’t do much with the apartment today, only washed it and left some minor stuff. The major moving will happen on Saturday.
I will leave some quick snapshots of my little apartment. ;D
And now for something completely different…
…pizza!
I made dinner today. Something as un-original as pizza. So why would I like to dedicate a post to pizza-dinner? The reason is because this is a pizza of my own invention. I’ve baptised it the “Monsterpizza”, and in my own opinion, it’s reaaaally yummy! Therefore, I wanted to share the secret here, in my blog. This entry is something as simple as a recipe. ;P
Pizza-base:
One of your own liking - whether it’s premade or homemade doesn’t matter as long it’s your favourite. Personally, I use a specialty premade base at the moment, since I’m never happy with my own pizza-bases
Topping:
- 300-500g Meat - I prefer using sliced porkmeat, but almost anything goes
- Enough to cover the base - Sauce made from pastasauce and salsa mixed together
- 1 fresh tomato or an equivalent of sundried tomatoes
- Some cashewnuts
- Sliced jalapenos
- 200g cheese
- Sufficient of cucumber-mix
- Spicing: I use black pepper, chili, oregano, rosemary and fresh garlic
How to:
Fry the sliced pork meat and add pepper, chili, oregano and rosemary (or other spicings of your liking).
Mix pastasauce and salsa together. Grate two cloves of garlic and blend into the sauce. Apply sauce to the pizza-base and then add the meat.
Slice one whole, fresh tomato and add together with jalapenos and cashews. At last, you grate the cheese and sprinkle it on the pizza. In the end, you add some cucumbermix on the top.
Roast for about 15 minutes at 225C
Personally, I think it tastes really good with garlic sauce instead of the ordinary ketchup. And just as a warning, this pizza is really filling. I ate three small- to medium-sized slices and I’m stuffed beyond redemption. xD
A small note: I read through my blog-stats today and observed that the most frequent searches which led to my blog were “naked women”! Haha, must be those Gorgoroth-pics, I presume. It’s still a bit amusing. ;P
A touch of inspiration
I wonder if it could be called inspiration eating a huge, green and sour apple while solving a task about ascorbic acid?
En tanke eller to…
Mennesker er en del av naturen.
Alle ting i naturen streber for å oppnå balanse.
Når man åpner en demning vil vannet fortsette å flomme til vannhøyden er utjevnet.
Når et menneske føler seg til overs har det det bedre der det vet at det er savnet.
Wh00t!!!!11!!
I’ve got an apartment, I’ve got an apartment! Nah nah nanah nah!
Me ish happee. ^^
On Saturday, I got a letter from SIO which told me I’ve received a student’s apartment in a city area called Bjølsen in Oslo. Oh dear, I’m looking so much forward to moving in!
And as for the more eventful happenings this weekend, another blog will come as soon as I’ve received some photos. 
Wanderlust
I’ve decided I want to go on a holiday - or I don’t know if holiday is the right word - I want to travel! There are loads of places in the world I want to visit, basicly even all of it. THere are quite a few countries and places I’ve had on my wishlist for some time, especially Finland and New Zealand, but I’ve discovered that at the moment, Iceland might be on the top of my migratory wishlist.
The past months, it seems like I’ve been developing symptoms that might turn into some sort of Iceland-interest. For some reason, I’ve been reading a bit about Iceland lately (and looked at LOADS of pictures of the scenery), and been pretty attracted. The music I’ve been listening to and books I’ve read lately haven’t helped much. I’ve been listening a lot to Solefald’s Icelandic Odyssey and Falkenbach. Not to mention that this autumn I had a special-study project in Norwegian where I chose Norse sagas as my subject (I got a 6 on that project, btw 
). I’ve also read “Gudenes Fall” by Cornelius Jakhelln, which has, despite its fantasy/sci fi-nature, loads of fascinating description of both countryside and the cities. Knowing that the author resided there for a longer period makes the frames of the tale even more tempting and genuine.
As a conclusion of rant: I want to Iceland!
Anyone who wanna join me? ^^
A howl for a new blog!
At the moment I feel just like Bambi. I’m Bambi, and this is the ice. I knew I wanted a new blog, and after keeping an eye on my friend’s (I should have had a link for her blog, might add it later) blog, I thought WordPress seemed okay. Let’s see if I can figure anything out sooner or later and let this be the first, wee, little try.
I used to write a lot in my Windows Live Space until about a year ago, but since I’ve grown more hostile towards anything controlled by Microsoft, I wanted to change. On the other hand, I feel that lots of the content in that former blog belongs to a different time. Neither am I a fan of LiveJournal and I didn’t want a blog which only was a part of a webprofile of which I have a few. So here I am! I guess I’ll write a little, both in English and Norwegian.
Well, as the template said; Hello world!
(hopefully, the future posts will be more comprehensive)
