Hi People.
This is it. This will be my blog. I've got too many of you on the brain and I've done too little about it. How are you to know that I've been thinking about you, yes, you who is reading this blog at this very moment?
There is something about living far away from good friends that makes it hard to write emails. I find that when I sit down to write an email, there is too much to say. As a result, I say nothing at all. Ironic, no?
My solution, then, is to just WRITE. I'm gonna put it all out there in cyberspace for you to read, and hopefully comment, at your leisure.
In case anyone was wondering, "pausefisk" refers to the old days in Norway when there was only one TV channel. After the day's broadcasting was finished, the studio turned the camera to an aquarium. So instead of sending static from 2am - 6am, you could watch fish. (I am NOT making this up.) Nowadays, most TV channels broadcast around the clock or just send static when they go off the air for the evening. "Pausefisk" (loosely translated as the "fish break") has come to mean several things:
* A not-so-funny comedy show
* A period of near-comatose activity
* A rebound lover after the break-up of a long relationship
To me personally, it means taking a break in a silly, unconstructive way. Cheers!

I saw a movie named Heathers it was a black comedy about high school
Ayuh, I think we could all use a little "fish break" every now and then. Now we know where screen savers came from. (Though I prefer the current wallpaper on my work computer, which is Thoth the Baboon lecturing Sekhmet the lion -- go Thoth!). Consider yourself bookmarked, habibti. One day, when I get off my dented ass, maybe I'll break down and start a blog too.
