Merry Christmas!

And so it was this time of the year again. The much-awaited school holidays started some days ago, and yesterday I celebrated Christmas with my family. Too bad we didn’t get any snow here in Lillehammer in time for Christmas, but we had a nice time regardless.

As for the presents, I got among other things a couple of books about the London Underground (I got really fascinated by this when we were in London this summer), lots of candy, an Iron Maiden T-shirt, an Iron Maiden poster and… 1 GB RAM for my laptop! :D I’ve got to say, only having 512 MB has been tearing away at my soul recently. :P

I’ve also had the time to watch some DVDs — Kill Bill vol. 1 and 2, The Bourne Identity and The Bourne Supremacy. Great movies, and yes, I’m lagging a bit behind. :P

Anyhow, merry Christmas to all of you, and enjoy the holidays!

    Merry Christmas to you too! :D The undergrounds could be facinating, indeed. As for the movies, WTB! =D I love movies, but I ain’t got any :

    Woah, great movies. Especially Kill Bill.
    Yeah, I think 1 GB RAM should get Vegard’s soul back to normal.

    I know, Kill Bill is art.

    I just watched another movie — V for Vendetta; rather confusing movie, but I guess it was good nonetheless. :P

    I have seen that one. It’s a bit weird, but good :)

    V for vendetta is one of the best movies I’ve seen, it brings up political problems in an action-filled way. :>

    Well, nice to hear you got that book of yours.

    - “Remember, remember the 5th of November.”
    I saw “V for Vendetta” at a cinema in Oslo. I agree woith you, Vegard: A darn great movie, but rather confusing.

    Haha, I had that verse stuck in my head for several days after watching the movie. :P

    Still, I think this quote is better:

    Voilá! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance, a vendetta, held as a votive not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose. So let me simply add that it’s my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.

    You’ll have a bit more trouble getting that one to stick, though. :P
