It’s officially summer. Me, Stacy and two friends went ocean kayaking today, just for an hour or so by the docks. And it was pretty nifty, I might join the kayak club to get free access to a ocean kayak, but the security course I have to take first probably wont be held again until Autumn 
In other news:
- Hopefully Nemi will be getting a new friend in 44 days (+ 6-8 weeks).
- I started to play WOW again (lvl62 priest FTW)
- I’ve not eaten any meat for 5 months
- I got a new sweeet monitor (Syncmaster 22″ widescreen)
- I won 2 out of 4 dungeons & dragons miniatures games in one sitting (new record
)
- I watched all of Stargate (just waiting for season 4 of atlantis to start now)
- Almost done watching Battlestar Galactica Season 3 (Damn the end of season 2 and start of season 3 was totally insane)
- I started watching Dexter, which is pretty good so far

Yaaay! Nemi, that fuzzy little bastard, finally got her new cage
Click to see how big her new cage, compared to her old one
Getting a new 170 cm tall cage and all, she responded by doing the Vulcan hand salute

Haven’t posted much lately.. Things have been pretty busy with work and the moving (only 6 days left, yaaaaay!), I’ve had almost no time for UFO Afterlight or Silent Hunter 4 the last 2 weeks, and I don’t expect I will have much time for C&C 3 when it is released next week.
I took out my scooter today, drove around a bit.. took like half an hour to start the bastard after it being in storage for 5 months this winter. I’m looking forward to not taking the bus to work tomorrow
The other thing that has kept me busy lately is that I have been making a new webpage (that combines aakretech.no, .com, .net and .org into a single page). Not quite done yet but most of the pages are in place. Removing the cocoon webapp for aakretech.org from my Tomcat server reduced the server’s startup time from 15 seconds to 0.7 seconds.
Not much more to say really.. Nemi got her new cage, but we wont get it for her until we move next Sunday/Monday

Haven’t written much lately, but here are a few updates:
- We’re moving in 16 days
- I bought a Wardrums booster pack and only got 1 new figure
- The movie ‘Children of Men‘ is utter total rubbish!
- I got the last dvd box of Babylon 5
- Almost done with season 9 or Stargate SG1, and second season of Atlantis
- UFO Afterlight is very good, quite a bit different from other UFO games, but still a great game..
- 1 week until Silent Hunter 4 is released!
- Nemi is changing into her summer coat
- Iran is not as enthusiastic about 300, as I am
- Iran sucks.. but not as much as Children of Men
- Giving money to ferrets first gives good karma
- Chocolate

After a grueling week of influenza I almost feel like myself again.
I saved up enough strength to play the two tutorial missions last week, got 2 hours of gameplay before I had to go to bed. But now that I’m all better I can try out the skirmish mode when I get home from work. The stuff from the two missions look really nice, and with Michael Ironside (Starship troopers), Tricia Helfer & Grace Park (both from Battlestar Galactica) in the game cinematics, this should be pretty interesting. The game is released in Norway around 29th or March, and since I’m moving on April 1st. this means I wont be able to preorder the game by mail.. Hope I still get my hands on the Kane Edition, maybe I should go to a store and reserve a copy today.. damn.. It just occurred to me that I wont have any time to play the game since we have to move all my stuff.. gaaaagh!
I haven’t had the flu since I was in primary school, and it was much worse than I could remember.. I was looking forward to just lay on the couch a few days and watch TV, but it was really uncomfortable and I was pretty much unable to watch TV or operate a computer
At least Stacy got sick as well (misery really DO love company), but I don’t think Nemi got it, which is a consolation of sorts. Maybe it’s because that little furry vermin eats much better(healthier) than us and maybe got a better immune system
aaanyway.. Season ending of heroes should be “available” today, got to see how that turns out.. Seems UFO:ET has been postponed, but 16. April is not that far away, I’ll probably be to busy moving and playing C&C 3 to notice

My tooth is in need of root canal treatment
I’m home from work today, because every time I sit down (or god forbid, LAY down) my tooth starts hurting like hell.
All I can do basically is to just stand in my living room and watch TV or play some Playstation II, or maybe I should use the newly cleaned kitchen table to play some D&D miniatures against Nemi (the ferret).. or maybe I should rig up something so that I can stand and get some painting done on my Dark Elf army..
Fortunately I got an appointment with my dentist tomorrow, but until then it sucks to be me, as all my favorite activities involves sitting down :/
Update:
You hear bad stuff about getting a root canal, horrible stories that will turn your soul black.. Fortunately that’s all bullshit, getting a root canal did not hurt at all (I love drugs, drugs are your friend), all in all it was not much different from getting a regular cavity fixed.
Also I found a really great dentist, Thorleif Weie at Tannlege Weie, so if anyone in Trondheim needs a good dentist, I highly recommend him

Here are the highlights of the Christmasloot:
Ouh a fancy Hercule Poirot box, already watched about half of it.
What would Wally do indeed
It would not be Christmas without a brand new startrek box.. Voyager, season 5.
“Holy Crap Louis”, the first 5 seasons of Family Guy, my favorite cartoon (better than Simpsons, Futurama and Southpark put together and dipped in chocolate)
I also got a GPS thingy, so I wont get lost.. At least it met with instant ferret approval.
Speaking of ferrets, Nemi gave me a D&D miniature game box
And Stacy donated some money to FerretsFirst in my name
I also got socks, a statue of a seagull and other unmentionables, but they are best left undepicted…
