      Tenkte det var på tide å legge ut ønskelista til jul. Husker jo ingenting når noen spør så da er det lettere å legge den ut her. Well here it is so far: Yoga-matte, helst med noen form for bærereim/bag så jeg kan ha den med meg penger til reising...

    5. Concerts and workouts

      Hi, there! Yes, I'm still here... Been a bit busy lately. Thuesday the 6th was a big day. Jay-Z was playing in Trondheim. Loots of happy dancing people. Jay-Z did a good concert despite the "small" audience, just 7000 in the "walley of death".

    6. Jay-Z at UKA09

      Today it was annouced, Jay-z is playing at UKA09. UKA is the studentfestival in Trondheim, which is running every second year in October.
