Wings of Sadness

Today we wake up to a day filled with sorrow after one of the worst acts of terror that has shaken the foundation of Norway as well as the rest of the Scandinavian countries as well as others. An act of violence striking at the heart of my neighbors beyond the forest and mountains to the west. Sadly the hate doesn't end here but poison us all. This poison already took over 90 peoples lives, and even more horrible, the human nature will probably continue to harvest the souls of the innocent. Poison consisting of hate, prejudice and fear. Hope is all that remains, hope that we shall not fall and become savages ourselves. My thoughts and sympathies goes to the victims and those close to them as well as the norwegians I have had the pleasure to know. May this dark nightmare end and the rays of hope shatter the despair that threatens us.

Summer Time

I really don't write that much it seems during the summer. One of the things being that I got a bit addicted when it came to play the Ocarina of Time 3DS, which I cleared twice, 100 % on both. Then I went back home for the midsummer celebration which was a fun time. Then back and try to search for a job. Funny thing happened when one of the municipalities I'm trying to get a job from decided to take a vacation and postponed the hiring process... this makes me want that kind of job even more. Just close down and say "sorry, I'm on vacation, please return in 5 weeks", how awesome wouldn't that be? I heard that there is good to have smaller goals that lead to a bigger one, so one would be this one.

Beside all that I finally got wireless internet via some router or what ever it's called... which has been under my desk for 1-2 years. Yeah, technology isn't my strongest card. Now I can finally have my computer on the web together with my gaming consoles, no need for priority, just use them all... mostly for "tactical and strategic advice" *cough* cheating *cough*. A pity that I must move in the near future (which although it's near is very hard to predict). I also began playing games I have had in my shelfs for a year or so like Resident Evil 5 and Metroid: Other M, but it seems I suck at both of them so I settled for Resident Evil 4, a classic which I'm trying to clear on Normal for the first time (I prefer easy, but they change parts which take away the feeling that you cleared the whole game). On the other hand I noticed that my N64 games I had for the virtual console had lost the save files so I have to finish them once again, which I did for Majora's Mask with Ocarina of Time fresh in mind. Now I got Paper Mario 64 and Star Fox 64 left... although the last one will make it to the 3DS so it might be worth waiting for, the controls are a bit tighter with the 3DS compared to the classic controller, not to speak to my GameCube controller which doesn't work properly (but it is awesome when it comes to target shooting for some reason).
