New York

February 8, 2009

Yesterday i ordered a trip to New York. I have never been to New York, I’ve never even been in the US. So this will be really exciting!

I’m going to be away for a week. It’s not until May 29th, but it’s worth the wait. I can save money that way. Haha. I’ve heard with some of my friends that has been there this year, to know how much to excpect to use… its A LOT.

So now i was wondering if I could get some help from my readers. Have you been to NY? Have any great/cheap places to stay? What do i HAVE to do? Well, anything I should know? I could really use this help!

Wow, I really can’t wait now. Haha. I AM SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS!

And btw, I also got a flight that doesn’t stop in Amsterdam, how awesome is that? Direct flight, Norway  – New York. Haha! YEY!


Lyrics

February 4, 2009

Hey guys.

I know there is a few music-related blogs these days, but it’s the most important thing, so I will have to let it be like that. When music is dominating in my life, i must write about it!

Well, the thing I wanted to share today was this.
I love lyrics. Behind every great song, there is great lyrics.
For me, lyrics is the best with every song. Really.

And now i found this new site! SongMeanings its called. Under the songs (i will not promise its under EVERY song) there is comments, where people try to explain the songs and the meaning behind them. I found this really helpfull with a few songs i was really uncurtain about!  People have different theories, and some people know stuff for a fact. So i loved it. Now i dont have to lay awake at night thinking about a songs meaning. Thats helpfull for my sleep ;)

If you have more places like this, where people LIVE for the lyrics. Please give me a comment :)


The Script

January 25, 2009

I fell in love with The Script the minut I head them. I have to thank my very good friend Lou that introduced me to them. They have changed my life. They have changed the way I feel about music.

The Man Who Cant Be Moved stood out, together with Break Even.

I wanted to share with you some of the lyrics to Break Even. It’s just beautiful <3

What am I suppose to do
When the best part of me was always you
What am I suppose to say
When I’m all choked up and your okay

Isn’t that the best thing you ever heard? and the sadest?
Wow. this band has not just blown my mind, but my heart and soul. I love them.


Spotify

January 16, 2009

Have you not yet heard about Spotify? Have you missed the BIG thing? Do not fear, I am here to help you ;)

So, spotify is this magnifisant program to play music from. You can think of it like a personal mp3 player, on your computer, which gets songs from the internett. So you dont have to have all the songs on your computer to take up alle of your space! And the best part about it, its COMPLETELY leagal! They have cooperations with the labels and they give you the songs, you just have to search for them.

So this is how you get it:
www.spotify.com is the site. You can download the player. But that wont get you places, cause this is an “invite” only now that it’s a beta. So after you download, you have to google for an invite kode, to make your user. Easy enough? Alot of people have invites, and give them away.  Good luck.

This is how you use it:
You search the millions of song for the songs you like, and click play. WOW. And you make lists, thats easy. You click “create list” and you drag songs into it. Then you share your list with people, and people share with you.
Then you visit: http://topsify.com/ to get “official” playlists. Like UK top 40, and stuff like that. And you can just play them, simple as that. There are alot of list-making-sites, but from the spotify blog i found 5 list making pages, and i found this most helpfull!

Extra stuff:
Spotify comes up as “show what im listening to” on you MSN.
Spotify is cooparative with last.fm, and scrobbels to your last.fm profil after you gave it your username and password.
If you have other people lists on your spotify, it gets updated automaticly every time you start your spotify program!

And now i thought i’d share with you my playlist (this only works if you have the program).
Karin’s Best of

Enjoy!


Twitter Sucks

Twitter Sucks

Twitter Sucks

Yep. This wirstband i found at Boys Like Girls lead singer Martin Johnsons own Blog: Martinsays. I am starting to agree, and im wondering if I should buy it.

People are using twitter as a messenger system. And all I see is replies for people i dont know, and do not care about. I dont need that. I want to follow the people i like, and want to know what they are doing. That’s it. It’s plain curiousity that drove me to twitter. Not im unfollowing new people every day. Thats no fun.

What to you feel about twitter?


Twilight – Director’s Letter

December 14, 2008

If you are not up-to-date on www.stepheniemeyer.com you will not know about this letter, so here you go.

This is a letter from the New Moon directer to all of the twilight fans. I thought this was amazing, he wants to satisfy the Twilight-Fans. This really made me trust him, and that he really will do a great job with New Moon and keep it close to the book!


Studies = Worries

December 8, 2008

 

How do you know you chose the right subject to study? How will you know when you have never worked with it? 

Did it take you multiple tries to figure out what you want to do in life? Have you done the first thing you thought of for your entire life? 

Did you go to another country to study? Far away from all your friends and family? Did you start over? Did you do it in a foreign language?

I have all these questions in my head. Some people say I should change my major all the time. That I should just keep going and when I’m finished i will be happy.  And some people encourage me to change, do what is right for me in the moment. 

I get confused. I dont know what to do or where to go. I don’t have only myself to consider either. And I dont know actually what I want. I am just in the starting face of knowing what I like. 

From education studies, to economics. Yeah, huge difference. Well, now, through my bloging, vlogging and broadcasting, can you guess what i thought of? 

Journalism. 

It is extreemly hard to come in to journalism schools in Norway. I dont have a shot, in a million. But it seems interessting. It seems like what i should do. 

You people who have seen my live shows on blogtv, or seen my thoughts on youtube, or even you, who are reading my blogs; Do you think this might be it?


The All-American Rejects

December 6, 2008

I haven’t had anything lately that wanted me to write anything. So that’s the only and the simple reason of my lack of posting. But today I have seen a video that got me totally excited again. 

This video is from SoarOfTheConchords and is a music video with one of The All-American Rejects songs from their new album, “When The World Comes Down”, which will be out in the stores 16th of December. 

First of all, Alex has done a GREAT job on this video. Used alot of time, and the result is excellent. I favorited it myself, and have watched it many times. The song is great, and the filming is basic and simple. The result is, as I said: Excellent. 

Second of all. This is the first really GOOD video by Alex since i first subscribed to him. He had this character named Kyle, which one a competition by Andrew Bravner. And because of that video I subscribed. I think lately it has been alot of not-so-good videos. But this one is over the top. Really great job!

Third of all, it made me want to by the album. I haven’t even heard about them comming out with a new album, and i think that is kind of weird. But anyway, now i have. Now i like. Now i will.


Thumb Wrestling

November 8, 2008

Haha. Isn’t this the coolest thing you’ve seen today?
I must say, it would have been pretty-cool to own one of these, so when you are having a thumb-wrestling match, you can actually have the right gear ;)

Anyone know if or where you can buy it?


Edward Cullen = Just Fiction

November 7, 2008

edward

I just stumbled upon this site called “onesentance.org“, and this one sentence caught my attention.

I know how this girl feels, and I can’t even imagining how this boy felt. Not being able to be a fiction character. I know boys must hate Edward, cause he isn’t real, and he does and is how no boy could ever be able to be. Cause he isn’t real.

But that makes him more fantasizeable, cause he is the ultimate boy, the boy every girl wants. Or at least a lot of girls.

I’m not saying im on the girl’s side here. Cause destroying a relationship over a fiction character is quite extreme. But i know how she feels, cause i know what I think about Edward. Omg, Edward is h0t :P
