Here's the 7 o'clock news

The Happy List:

The blah List:
Fever
Snot
No voice
Had to call in sick at work tonight.

But that gives me another note on the happy list, cause now I have saturday off work, even if it's my working weekend. Would of course prefer to have a voice and less of a cold but hey.

To sponsor this weekends post, here's

Not exactly mojito madness... more like mad cow disease

Ever thought about getting something exciting, phenomenal, out of this world to drink?? Well, search no more, now the best product ever has come to a place (relatively) near you!!

In India a new beverage has been produced, with the extracts of -------------- wait for it----------------- Cow urine!!!

So, why not switch from lemon/vanilla/cherry/whatever to Urine Coke!!

As delicious as it sounds I presume... Moooooooooooooo!!!

Copycat??!

Another saturday, another round of Eurosong 2009. This time I'm wondering if one of the songs has been ripped off and altered slightly from another quite popular song actually...

What's your opinion on it??!

The "original"




The "copy".. or eurosong from another band

the soundtrack of my life

Here's how it works...
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc).
2. Put it on shuffle.
3. Press play.
4. For the first question, type the song that's playing.
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button TWICE.

Happy valentines my friends!!!!

She's Madonna

I'm a big admirer of Robbie Williams and his music, everybody who knows me, knows that. I've been to his concerts a few times, travelled continents and what not. And i've met him. But that's not what this blog is about.

It's about the coincidence that he has a song about someone we're going to see in concert this summer. Madonna.
She's actually never been to Norway, and as I've mentioned in a previous blog, I have people around me who really want to see her.

The idea of witnessing her has grown on me too, and I decided to take part of it. So my sis in law, who's 9 months pregnant, was up really early this morning, as the tickets went on sale. Our target was golden circle tickets, even if they're ridicioulsly expensive. I'll just live on noodles and water for a month instead haha
And she got tickets for the pair of us!

So now all left is to get time off work, as it's mid summer holiday. Exciting!!

And now, for the best part; Robbie Williams singing his song about... Madonna!!

Eurosong and stuff

These days we have to suffer through endless lines of horrible songs. Every saturday a new pile of horror is presented to us on tv, if we choose to watch. 'Cause in 2 weeks we're presenting Norways 2009 contribution to the Eurosong finals in Moscow. I haven't really paid any attention to any of the finalists so far, but last night I watched. Some songs were absolutely ghastly, some quite awful, some boring as hell, and then a few catched my attention. Like this one.. It awoke the Britpop loving Lisa anno 1995.



This one actually made it through to the finals, and it's not that bad either. Think it's gonna win the whole thing.. not internationally of course, but at least in Norway. We'll see!! (or stay away from the tv heheeh)

Beware!

Was goofing a bit around with my extremely sucky mobile cam, since I was wearing my facyschmancy bunad. Thought I'd share my ugly gob with you lol

...embrace yourself :p

Is that so? (and The Godmother)

I used to work with a woman a while back. I'm not gonna spill out her name, but whatever I used to say to her, she responded with "Is that so?". At that time I tended to zone out a bit about mid shift (we did night shifts together), and if I had a laptop near, I'd be chatting away on msn, commenting on whatever Isthatso used to do.

Well, we've had changes in our work schedules, and I no longer work nights with Isthatso. She was a nice lady, but she often got on my nerves, so now I'm just happy to have a bit of variation. Like tonight, I'm working with a really great sub who'll be working here for quite a bit.

Other than that, what's new? Not much really. I managed to get hold of 2 Madonna tickets through pre-sale yesterday, so if I get my holiday week when I want, I'll get to see her. Beate wanted to know how I could afford it, planning the LA trip and all, but it's all a matter of priorities :) And, if I didn't have anything planned for this summer, I'd go completely bonkers. Cause September is a long wait, when you see people starting their summer hols in mid june.




On sunday I'm going to a christening of the son of a good friend of mine. I already have 7 godchildren, but when she asked if I wanted to be the godmother I couldn't refuse. (yeah she made me an offer I couldn't refuse... pun indeed intended) So now I have 8 godchildren!! Who needs kids of their own huh?!
And this night I've watched a bit of the Godfather movie, and it's sort of the same with me.. Only with less horses heads in beds and shooting, and more giving expensive gifts for christmases and birthdays. So from now on you shall all refer to me as Don Lisa hehehe
