Two days before christmas (and i'm listening to behemoth)

Ha...i ahve a little problem now...it's about this fuckin' Darkthrone song....i' finally reached the point to play it entierely (even if the last two minutes were plenty of shit) and now i can't even play it more than two minutes, withe evn more difficulties than before ! I think maybe i did too much...pain in my shoulder and on the head of my finger...So, i will make a little pause. I'm so curently trying to masterize the White Stripe's song "rag and bone", a pretty grrovy one but not as easy as it seems.
I also got my guitar back, this is a very good news cuz' it sounds better than ever ! I don't know in which extent the reparation work did something or if it's the change of strings but I really like this new sound !
Appart from it, i'm still working on my Norwegian courses...not so hard but not very passionnating too. I'm listening to Vivaldi's Bajazet in the same time and i think that, from now, it's my favorite opera opus. It's sometimes so delicious that i can't concentrate on the Norwegian. By the way, yesterday, when i was working and the "Familien Dahl" , suddently quit to go on the hill to see a diffuse but beautiful Northern lights...Hopefully, i was fully geared (leather gloves, sweater, hat) so i didn't dies, but it was kind of cold here...
I've also orderred some Cd's on the de Profundis label, i should receive them tommorow, if i'm lucky...there are very arre Cd so i'm pretty exited about it...anyway, it would be a very good auto-christmas present.
I think i will leave now, i have useless things to do anyway...
God Jul !

Another day under a sunless sky (but at least it's snowing)

Darkthrone is one of the most influencial band in this god damn earth, but fuck, how fast they are shredding ! But i'm in progress i think : i can do 2,45 minutes against the 2 i've did two days ago. i will probably be able to do the entire song within a week if i'm serious. After it i could finally try to do it well because now i'm soo focused on just bearing the pain in my arm that i can't do it perfectly right.
Tomorrow i will go to the cinema to see Avatar with Fr. It will probbaly be a worthy choice. In the frebch reference webzine "allocine" it had been credited as the third best movie ever, and only for the votes of those who seen it on the first day. It must be something pretty amazing...
Our experimental song "Crushed by the hellish hammer of absurdity" (it's Fr who found the name) is getting more and more serious : I've finished the ambiant guitar tune and we've put one Z-movie quote in the middle of the Burzumesque keyboard part (which has been increased in time) and we've made some vocals for the guitar part : i've recited some words with echo distortion and Fr. read the back information of the "War of the World" DVD in Norwegian...pretty funny !
By the way, the movie is interesting, far more better than 2012 in the realization. I really enjoy Spielberg's way of Filming. he's a real artist. And even Tom Cruise is actually good in this movie, amazing isn't it ?
And the Windir album is extremelly worthy, one of the best i have, here, in Norway. Whatever could happens at the end of the Year, i will definitely keep it with me. Maybe should i also think about learning some songs of the album ? Yes, but i first might be able to finish this damn Darkthrone song...

How can i give a title to this stuff ?

Ha....i wander how some people can have beautifull blogs while mine is so shitty. Anyway it's not important, it's just matter of perfectionism. Raaaah, and all of this technology is overwhelming me out, i shouldn't be here writring things in front of a computer screen...yes i should better be working on my Norwegian...by the way, i've bought some Donald Duck comics in Norwegian in a bookshop. I didn't have the time to read them yet but i consider myself as a lucky guy cuz i've found a Don Rosa one ! The story in which Scrooge is in quest of the lost Alexandria library documents.

Otherwise, i'm also working on my guitar...currently, I focus on the Darkthrone song "Transylvanian Hunger" and the Judas Priest one, "Breaking the law". These two ones are difficults in two completly different ways : The DT's song is pure black metal : to achieve it properly you're supposed to shred without interruption during 6 minutes. Yesterday, i did two minutes, three, maybe, today ? The Priest song is, on the contrary, pretty melodic and more complex than the third riffed' Transylvanian Hunger.

I spend some money today in the Cd shop. I've finally baught the Windir album, "1184" i wanted. Anyway, there aren't so many good things in the Metal part of this shop (not even a single Emperor album !). In an addition of it i've probbaly saved my life by buying spikes for my shoes...i will test them in few hours, in front of the coop. They should better be efficient cuz' they costed me something like 250 KR !

I miss my girlfriend too. i think about the twenty days which are tearing us appart, and i can deeply say that i hate every single one of these days.

Raahhh, the Norwegian guy few metters away from me has just oppened the window of the computer room. Damn you ! Did'nt you've heard that the temperatures this morning were around minus 8 celcius ?!Bof, finally, it's bearable. I'm heading to the library to read some Norwegian stuff anyway.

Good bye, may the ancients gods bless you !
