Agderlørdag

Once every few moons, a class at Agder will be in charge of something known as Agderlørdag, or, Agder Saturday. This usually includes a themed sort of get-together with a dinner and some form of entertainment. Past Agderlørdags have included: 1950s, Bad Taste Party, Halloween at Hogwarts, etc. Yesterday evening the Art and Photo class held our Agderlørdag. The theme was "M Party", and we ate moussaka, mandlerkake (almond cake), meringues, and chocolate mousse. Afterwards we held a spoof of the Emmy Awards, the "M" awards, in which I was the "M"cee. We had a magic show, watched a short mystery film, and then showed Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Costumes got pretty creative. Pictures below. And, as an added bonus, I am including pictures of my roommate's gigantic box of shoes. From 2 angles.

Mummy.

Mahatma Ghandi.

Mexicans.

Munch and his Madonna.

Maler (painter), marihøne (ladybug), unidentified something that starts with M.

Happy New Year.

“So this is the new year, and I have no resolutions.”- Death Cab For Cutie

 

     Well, Death Cab For Cutie, you sloths, while you were producing bad album after bad album for Barsuk Records, I was writing productive resolution upon resolution. One of them being to update my blog…not bi-annually, not semi-annually, not monthly, not bi-weekly, not whenever the heck I feel like it, BUT EVERY FRIGGIN’ WEEK. The apocalypse must be upon us, you say! But neigh, I am indeed a changed blogger.

     Now I only have one problem. What do I blog about? As you have probably noticed, I’ve not blogged since October 7^th, 1785. Instead of long ramblings about each day since 334 years ago, I’ll just give you a brief bulletin’d update.
