Stop! It's my birthday!

Yes, it is true. Today is my birthday and I'm turning 28 (not 37 and not 50).

My Bergen arrival and stuff

The Jo is back in town. After the graduation-translocation party party in Århus, Torhild and I had a quick stop in Bergen to drop off some stuff and have a beer before we went to the sea.

'The sea' is my parents summer house in the southern part of Norway (close to Mandal) and our time there was spent relaxing, eating good food, drinking good wine and hiking. The day before we drove to Oslo we also went to the zoo in Kristiansand where Julies (T11-Julie) cousin works. She showed us around the park, catched an intruding snake and we got to play with a King Python and a big, lizzard'ish thing with a blue tongue.

Oslo followed and was really nice. We met up with the priest who will wed Torhild and me on August 11th (did your priest smuggle money to Desmond Tutu during the Apartheid?), celebrated Hansas (Linns Hansa) 30th birthday, closed down my final project at the KP together with Rolf Arne (T11-Rolf-Arne. Wait there is only one Rolf Arne in the whole world) and met up with friends.

And now I'm back in Bergen to find out what I want to do with my life. This process involves a nice mixture of focused talks and free-your-mind-activities.

Pictures of my recent adventures will follow in a coming post. Now to some more random stuff.

1) Here are some pretty cool new Transformers T-shirts.

2) I just saw the video of Elton John singing in Dianas funeral. I never before noticed the impressive eye-brow-action he's got going on.. Special for the occasion? Is it chronic tear surpressing syndrome?


3) "I know a little german.."

Photoshoot and cinematic experience


Rolf and I have delivered our written exam or project report and the 21st we're having our oral exam in Århus. We're leaving Amsterdam the 15th to celebrate May 17th in Bergen and Oslo.

These days we're preparing for our oral and trying to secure financing so that we can keep working on our project after we've finished the pilots. As a part of this we had a little photo shoot with Marit, Marit, Anna, Morten and Guro. Here are some excerpts.


Today Anna, Marit and I decided to go to the cinema. The film was Spiderman 3 - good stuff, highlight being the very nice and corny session in the middle where Peter Parker becomes cool. But the absolutely best part of the experience was the cinema itself. The Tushinski was built in 1921 and is pure Art Deco.

A long and painful stay at Kastrup



Torgersen is back in Europe. After some fifteen - twenty hours of traveling, I'm now at Kastrup waiting for my plane to Amsterdam. Long journey.

I've had some fantastic days in Vancouver and Seattle, me and Torhild had a little bit of illness in our team the last week, but yesterday we shook it off and joined T12s tour de chambres. The themes were Christmas, baby shower, Team 11, Japan and mental institution. Here is some photo evidence and a couple of other pictures from before, after and in-between.

Chronological order or tastefulness is not guaranteed.

Vancouver and Seattle

I've been nine days in Vancouver and Seattle. Here are some pictures from my stay so far. It's been a fantastic vacation so far. The next week will be more work-oriented. I will work on how we shall use the internet to strengthen our project and have meetings with different relevant persons.

But here are the pictures.

Jo in Vancouver

Last weekend was fantastic with Martin, Kaspar, Henrik and Bjørn visiting from Bergen. We did everything four gentlemen in the Capital of Sin should do - and think thats all we need to say about that matter.
And now, less than one week later, I'm in beautiful Vancouver with Torhild and the rest of Team 12. The flight over went really smoothly, much thanks to an inspiring and bright-minded seventeen-year-old from Munich and too little sleep prior to the journey.

The two days I've been in Vancouver, have been spent getting over the jet-lag, enjoying Torhilds company and shopping for vintage tees.

Hotel Singel and Vinyl Extraordinaire

I was pretty sick on the last days before the weekend, but for some miraculous reason I felt better by Friday evening. Beats me.

Since Rolf was going to Copenhagen to celebrate his birthday I invited my sister Anna and her friend Marit to stay in our apartment during the weekend. Also our friend Arpi is visiting this weekend with a friend, so with Anna and Marit at Hotel Singel, they could borrow their rooms.


This morning we got up late. After an hour or so of relaxation and morning small talk, we went to a little place in Jordaan where they have amazing sandwiches. We all ordered the Italiana with pesto, mozarella, olives, tomato and parma ham.

After this delicious meal we went to a market in the northern part of Jordaan. Last week I was there with Rolf and bought some stickers and vinyl. I was hoping to find some more golden tunes today - and boy did I! Here are some of the catches.
