Todays topic: why barbie is bad.
I just had to say that. don't know why.

I had trouble sleeping last night. The temperatures
have been at a top of 31 degrees today, and a
low of 21 degrees tonight is expected. It's not
even fun to try to sleep in heat like that.

The panic has settled, and I really don't care any
more. My thesis will be finished one way or the
other.

I was down town to try to arrange with airfares back
to norway. It looks like I'm going via Fiji, LA and London
but I haven't decided yet. I'm not really good at planing.

Geir is in one of his 'super healthy eating super low
fat food'
periods. As a result of this he found a site
on a norwegian webpage, where you actually can calulate
how much energy you stuff your face with during the day.

It's recommended for a person of 65kg to eat approximately
1950 kcal a day, and here is the result of what I've been eating
the last couple of weeks.
400g  bread    1014 kcal
 50g  jam     125 kcal
 7.5dl beer     279 kcal
 total     1419 kcal.

If this webpage keeps it's promise I'll lose about 500g each week,
which should make me 62kg when the thesis is finished. [that's
when I figure I'll return to phat burgers & chips.]

Ok. This one is just really strange.
Frank Buble, 71, pled guilty in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine, in December
to attempted murder for smashing his son Philip, 44, with a crowbar
several times, mostly because he was tired of the son's sexual
relationship with his dog. Philip was relieved at the guilty plea,
pointing out that he is "the first out-of-the-closet 'zoo' (zoophile) to
be attacked because of my sexual orientation, so (lawyers) have
no precedent to gauge how a jury would react."

I just talked to a couple of other researchers here on the lab, trying
to figure out how to solve the problems with my thesis.
they informed me that they had no clue, but they knew that
all the other professors here had given up this approach,
becouse it was to hard to get it stable.. and he fucking expects
me to get it stable?

I had never heard about state space eq, optimal controll or third
order mofo problems when I started of with this thesis.

I now realize that it's more than likely that my thesis won't be
finished in five weeks.

first it felt good to know that my problems was difficult to solve..
but then I soon realized that didn't really help my thesis at all, and
right now I'm just really angry, and feel like beating the shit out
of someone. no name given.

..and now I completely lost all interest in trying to solve 3rd order
filter technique questions. strange.

I'm debating wheter i should spend my last five weeks surfing porn.
ledwich doesn't seem to give a flying fuck anyway. and i kinda
prefer porn to math and simulations.

 
another fucked up day, in a fucked up life.
Come with me
Into the trees
We'll lay on the grass
And let the hours pass

Take my hand
Come back to the land
Let's get away
Just for one day

Let me see you
Stripped
Let me see you
Stripped

Metropolis
Has nothing on this
You're breathing in fumes
I taste when we kiss

Take my hand
Come back to the land
Where everything's ours
For a few hours

Let me hear you
Make decisions
Without your television
Let me hear you speaking
Just for me

Let me hear you
Make decisions
Without your television
Let me hear you speaking
Just for me

after a few long days at qut I decided I had earned
a new cd or two. just to keep my sanity. after an
hour or so, scanning a record shop, I walked out
with a big phat smile on my face. I bought the
following cds:
The Living End - Roll On
Super Jesus - Jet Age
Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP
Lou Reed - The Wild Side (2cd)
Rammstein - Sehnsucht (Australian tour edit. 2cd)

I guess some of my friends would like to
kill me for buying that Eminem cd, but I couldn't
resist. I actually think the album is really good.
shoot me.

Yey. Madrugada was featured in Dagbladet on
friday. they rule my humble world.
they said something like "the people who
vote Frp shouldn't bother to buy our record.
they wouldn't understand the record, and we
don't want their money".
kick ass.

Robert Downey jr's journal - in jail.

my mood:
I feel like printing out the 17 pages I have written
on my diploma, walk into my professors office
and shove it up his *beeep* *beep* god *beep* ass.
I've learnt quite a few bad words down here, but I won't
spell them out.. remember I'm well behaved.

I don't know what or who Lou Reed was thinking about
when he wrote:
"baby when i watch you cum,
I just wanna run, far away"

I'm thinking, she must have been goddamn ugly.
gott weiss ich will kein Engel sein.

so.. how do we promote NTNU to our english speaking
students who search the web? I present you exhibit A,
www.nuts.edu

some girls just don't know when to quit calling.
not that I have had any problems with that lately.

asians.. what is it with asians. they seems to be unable
to lift their feet when they walk, which makes
the most annoying shuffle-sound ever. they tend to
eat really loudly, and I never, ever heard somebody
talk so much about strip clubs as asians. one of
the PhDs here doesn't talk about other things. or
nudie bars as he likes to call it. I don't think I'm a racist
or anything, but I can't take to much more of bad
english and smelly nudles. yuck.

can you see anything wrong with the following
statement? "I have to go home early today, since
I have no clean clothes left. laundry day is fun."

I just wrote this, and realised how fucked up my days
here at qut have been lately. The time is now 21.00, and
lately I've been hanging around here, writing and fucking
with my diploma until midnight or even later.
and.. it's not becouse it's so fucking amusing here.

Goes out to cruise and to meet his connection
He never scores he just gets an infection
Dreams of a place with a better selection
Still it takes him all day just to get an erection

how did this happend?

Outcast - MsJackson fuckin freaks me out. I think
I've heard it a zillion times just the last week,
and everybody seems to like. well. I did like
it the first times, but now it just makes me
nauseous.

"Happiness is good health and a bad memory."
could this be why I'm happy, even though my thesis
are on it's way down the drain?

yesterday was a strange day. first of all, I woke up and
I was freaking fucking cold for the first time in 5 months.
even a hot shower didn't help, so it ended up with me
dressed up in long sleeves and jeans. yikes.

since there was no food in the fridge, we had to shop on
the way to qut, and as we walked down Queen st. Mall,
there was a band promoting their cd. as we got closer I
was absolutely certain that I had seen them before
somewhere. once they started playing "don't you worry"
I recognised them from mtv, as Madasun.
it was kind of strange.

Madrugada have released the first single of their up comming
album "the nightly disease". can't wait to get my
hands on that cd.

the most beautiful girl, waiting for the bus.
eyes met, smiles exchanged.
why didn't I talk to you

last night I tricked Geir into drinking again. he have stayed
sober for the last three (3) (!) weeks, and we decided we
should grab a beer on our way home. I guess nobody is
really surprised that we stayed out drinking all night.

oh. and I finally found out how to get Geir more drunk
than me. usually I try to keep up with him, thus getting
the most drunk. the e x c e l e n t solution is to let him
stay sober for three weeks, and he should be recovering
from diverssickness. what I'm trying to say is, I don't think
it is going to happen again very soon.

|^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^| ||____

so. that was yesterday. it shouldn't be to hard to figure out
what today have been like. tired, lazy and waterdrinking.
some links that I found interresting:
- diary of an addict - Ernie's house of whoopass - stile

ok. just a little add-on: "Police have arrested a 10-year-old
boy accused of sexually assaulting a 4-year-old girl"
. more..

    All Your Base Are Belong To Us.
    I guess that ment nothing to you if you haven't played Sega games since
    you were 2 yo. your loss. or it might actually be a good thing.
    I really don't know.

    here is a "How-to: avoid speeding tickets". are to be read carefully.
    if that's to boring, check out the badasschicks.

    I finally made the P3-stream work. can't wait to listen
    to Karate. triple M and triple J are my favorite radio channels in
    Australia. don't ask why they both are named triple something. I have
    no clue at all. I just know they have some hilarious reporters, and
    that is all I need ;)

    apen post kicks ass. I just spent the last 30 minutes watching the
    last program on a stream. good stuff.

    attrition.org is actually one of the few, good, informative sites,
    where you can actually learn some usefull.

    oh, one more thing. if anybody reads this, and know alot about
    linear quadratic regulator desig or want to offer me a well payed
    job, my mail is listed below. hurry.

    Some crackwhore cunt of a cleaning lady
    had thrashed my water bottle for the 4th time this month. she must be really
    retarded or something becouse it was totally covered in letters; "don't trash this
    bottle, I use it for drinking water"
    . yeah. that helps. I could forgive her the
    first time, but now I'm really pissed off. I've spelled out a A4 letter in king-size
    letters. "leave my goddamn bottles alone". the worst thing, in Queensland, there
    is no refunds for bottles which makes me belive she thrashes them just for the
    hell of it.

    The beautiful morning continued as I read my mail; "We are writing to notify
    you that you are in violation of section 4.1 of the terms of your free Namezero
    domain (mariuseilertsen.com). We enforce a policy of zero tolerance, and therefore
    cannot continue offering you our free product."
    . I guess they didn't like the fact
    that I hid the commercial menu without their consent. shit happens.

    I spent alot of hours at qut today. simulating
    and writing theory is fun, but Joe Rogan kicks ass.


    Thursday, February 15, 2001
     
    shopping is always fun. today I came home
    with a Nina Simone cd, a big glass of coffee, two tubes of smoked
    cream cod and I even got back to qut before lunch. not to bad.

    spent my day trying to figure out how to make
    the next part of my simulation to work. without any success.

    I finally found out why I'm struggling with my
    thesis. I haven't stated a problem yet;
    "A problem well stated is a problem half solved."
    - Charles Franklin Kettering (1876-1958)

    Valentines day. yey. spent most of the morning rearranging desks in
    the lab where I study. somebody decided to stuff 2 more people in here,
    and we had to rearrange all the desks to make 2 more fit. phun.

    in an attempt to keep my sanity, I found some new music today. it's a
    sad thing they are forcing napster to close down.

    don't know what bandwidth you have? check it.
    it would have been fun to try RSVP. dating? well. it could be fun.

    somebody once said;
    "If you love someone set them free, if they come back you were
    meant to be, if they dont they were never yours in the first place"


    Tuesday, February 13, 2001
     
    words for the day are tired.lazy.fedup.
    the shocking truth hit me in the face last night.
    we were out of beer. therefor today is shopping
    day. beer & bread. what more can you ask for?

    I'm scared. today I read that somebody spent
    five days at their office desk, dead, without
    anybody noticing.

    nobody, nobody can eat 60 eggs.


    Monday, February 12, 2001
     
    way.. that was one helluva day.
    Geir got home from his advanced padi course last night,
    and felt a little headache and tingeling in his arms.
    first he thought he was tired from all the dives, but decided
    to call the dive emergency line just to be sure. after a couple
    of calls, he was adviced to talk to the people at a nearby
    hospital. the next thing I know is that he spent almost
    5 hours in a pressure chamber, and had to go back today,
    and tomorrow for additional treatment. scary.
    the strange thing is that all his dives was within the dive tables..

    as we speak of diving. lately the sharks have been kinda hungry
    down here. somebody should feed them something different from
    people.

    girls are orgasm-addicts. it's a good thing we have
    doctors to help.

    the final proof, I'm going crazy;

    as i was walking in the shadows,
    of the earth, i realized im no more
    than a chicken, with a little more
    weight. I can't really breath,
    under water, either.

    bought a new book today. "natural capitalism, the next industrial revolution". I figured
    I'd better be prepared. I'm going to ride that revolution.. I don't really understand my urge to
    read books, but I really enjoy reading these days. strange.

    I'm constantly thinking about my traveling. maybe I should plan to get home to the
    16th of May. huge party and alot of friends would have been nice. I'll have to check how
    expencive the flight tickets are. I might be home along time sooner than that. time will
    show what happens.

    some internet sites are more interesting than others. how cool wouldn't it be to design
    your own fetish doll? if you need more excessories, this is the place.

    national masturbate-a-thon is the 7th of May. "Between now and National Masturbation
    Day (May 7th), ask people you know if they will sponsor you for every minute that you
    masturbate on May 7th."
    I could make a helluva lot of money :ț

    yesterday I put up some new pictures from December and January. they might
    be worth having a look at, no nudes though. I regret that ;)


    Friday, February 09, 2001
     
    I have this empty feeling. like.. I almost feel like laying in the sun all day.
    screw uni. fuck grades and cunt-ass professors. sun is healthy for your
    body.

    two more months in this hellhole of a university, and then there's sun.
    beach.backpackers.parties.ladz. what more can you wish for?

    I finished "notes of a dirty old man" yesterday. Charles Bukowski
    was a genious. I'll have to buy another book tomorrow.

    I put in for a job today. e-mail is great. Exxon mobil would be a
    nice place to work. do they want me?

    Ivo Caprino died today, 80 years old. Thank You for a lot of nice
    childhood memories.

    I also concider a job as a consultant.
    thats it for now.

    I wonder what was hidden in my food today. I've been full of bullshit all day, and stupid
    small poem-thingys have been poping out. I think I might be on the edge of going insane.

    during the day I'm located on the 9th floor in a lab, where I try to study together with
    eight others. today I've had the pleasure of walking all the way down the fire-escape
    stairway, all the way down. twice. fire alarms sure are amusing.

    if i was. would you be. what would happen?

    last week when I got a virus on my computer, the Computer Department had to
    install everything from scratch. oh, happy day. any way, by a mistake they installed
    the upgraded version of the office 2000 virus. and what happend? each mother f******
    god damn document that I open, opens in a new window. the worst thing was, that
    I couldn't find a switch to make them open in the same window.
    searching microcrap.com - no result.
    looking for contact info to mail them. - no free support.
    they did have a form to report piracy of crap product though. I told them what i meant.
    I was kinda pissed.

    I want to order alot of books from amazon. to bad I'm broke.

    during the fire alarm there was heaps of time to look at girls. which I did. it's just
    to bad that 90% of the girls have filled their backpockets with shit. mobilephone.
    wallet.keys. - yack.

    love is everything. sex is enough. - Buckowski.


    Tuesday, February 06, 2001
     
    Ok. So, today I've been lazy. The constant smell of paint mixed with the fact
    that I dont understand whats wrong with my matlab-code, made me write
    e-mails and do other shit instead of solving the problem.

    Someone recommended Nina Simone to me, and I couldn't find to much
    online. I guess I'll have to buy the cd or something.

    I need to decide on how to travel, and where.. soon. It would be nice if some
    travel agent just read my mind, and came with a offer. Then I wouldn't have
    to walk all the way over to the travel agent.

    I cleaned my desk today, as a part of the "I am not working very efficient
    today"- strategy. I found quite a few missing items, though my thesis
    writing enthusiasm is still lost.

    surrounded by emptiness
    blessed with silence
    lost in eternity.


    Monday, February 05, 2001
     
    I finally decided it was time to visit The Australian Department of Immigration. I called a month ago and
    asked if it was possible to extend my visa for another month, and I was told that would be done
    in just a couple of minutes. Happy that the solution seemed so easy, I grabbed my visa and
    went down there today. "fill out this form and come back with what we ask for." And they
    did a s k . A letter from friend or family supporting your stay (insurance isn't enough), letter from
    the university in Norway confirming that my thesis is finished, letter from qut, evidence of adequate funds
    and a airline ticket. Just to top it off they charges $170 just to handle my request.
    I'll be leaving Australia as late as possible the 31th of May. Fiji, here I come.


    Andrei, the Yugoslav PhD who works here recommended a
    book called "Factotum" by Charles Bukowski.
    After 2 hours of stroling around in bookshops I had to settle with
    another one called "Notes of a dirty old man" by the same genious author.
    I've read some poems and biographies online, and I like it so far.
    He seams like a really kewl person.

    I spent the most of the afternoon writing a job application. Exxon Mobil sounds good to me.
    The question is, do they want me? Of course they do, but do they realize it?

    Tomorrow somebody is going to paint the lab I'm working in, which could make it an interesting day.
    The smell of paint always helps me focus and think clear.


    Sunday, February 04, 2001
     
    This have been the strangest day in a long time. I woke up at 05AM for some reason, which beats me. After twisting
    and turning for another hour and a half, I gave up and got my lazy ass out of bed. Since there wasn't alot of other
    things to do, I found myself on my way to qut just as the clock past seven. I don't think I've been to qut this early
    before, and it was strange.

    After working seriously for the first couple of hours, I was lost in mIRC around 11AM.
    the rest of the day passed with matlab simulations in between the irc-sentences. It was a delightful day on irc, and
    I can't wait to get back home tonight ;)

    One of the things that really bother me these days is the fact that the firewall at qut deny me the pleasure of
    watching video-clips like these. I think that must be the only reason I hate to spend my whole fucking days at qut.

    I only spent a short time surfing today, but as I read the news at excite I stumbled across the strangest story.
    We all know that people who get seriously drunk on a plane can be dangerous, but I wouldn't expect the dangerous, drunk person to be a
    Catholic missionary who desided that he wanted to leave the airliner in midflight.
    The crew of the flight tied him to his seat, and he passed out.
    As the flight reached it's destination in Brasilia (Brazil) the missionary was found dead.
    Maybe he knew he didn't have long time left, and tried to do a short-cut to The Man himself ?

    I just realized that it's not a very long time until 30th of March. That is a bad since I need to finish my thesis by then and I have been
    thinking about that for a while. The thing I haven't thought about at all is the fact that I'm going to travel for almost 2 months after this..
    and I don't know where I want to go.

    Mainly there are two options, through Asia or USA. I don't have any special desire to see either Asia
    or USA, and that is what causes my trouble. What I do want to see is Fiji, Vanuatu, Hawaii and Tonga on the way to USA and Bali,
    and the islands around. Ok. at this point it looks like a easy choise..
    it's more to see if I leave through USA, but I don't have alot of time, and would probably just stop a couple of hours in LA and Montreal
    on the way back to Europe.

    So.. what if there are some good things to see in USA and I just flew across without noticing it.
    Pain. I'll probably end up with the only flight available at the time I decide to get a ticket, which will probably be around 29th of March.
    I hate to make plans.

    When I got home last night, Geir had been out grocery shopping and guess what he had found?? I've never thought it
    would bring me pure pleasure to have a slice of bread with smoked cod roe on top, it was incredible. After more than
    three months with cheese, ham, egg and tomato on the bread, it tasted reaaally good.

    Today have actually been a quite interesting day. First, as I was eating breakfast, a thin long green snake came
    crawling across the backyard. It's the first time I've seen snakes down here, and rather exciting. Due to heavy
    rain I couldt get a good picture of it though. I also saw a big fat lizard on the bikeway which almost caused me to
    run over a pigon.. long story.

    Nazis used irc to fool youngster into a trap and kill him.. i didn't think people with that low iq could usa a computer, but it seems
    they just proved me wrong. Apparently one of the girls was in #trondheim, where I hang out. Anyway.. I think they should
    all be deported to a nice little island someplace far away and really cold.
    Aapen post is a kewl norwegian tv-show which people give a hard time, becouse they made
    fun off, and showed animal porn in their last show. Hilarious. I'm also out of coffee, which is sad.

    quote of the day
    I met God once. He was all "jibbity-jabba, rat-a-tat-tat" So we had sex. The end. [DasBub]

    As time have passed by, I've realized that control theory implementation in Matlab can drive a person crazy.
    I really miss the time when I was back in high school when the math was fairly easy, and nobody expected me
    to understand everything by myself.
    This mpg-clip and the fact that it's pizza for dinner, made my day.
     
    First of all, how stupid can people get? I'm stunned. Alot of strange stories these days.
    American men love their cars more than they love their kids.. must be nice cars.
    How can't you love this site?
    What can I say, it's been another day without to much progress, but full of hard work.
    I've found "Modern control system theory and design" to be quite
    an interesting subject. Kinda scary.

    Thursday, February 01, 2001
     
    Just another shitty day. Woke up to rain. a lot of it.
    Spent most of the day at qut, struggling with my thesis.
    State space equations and modern control system theory really isn't to much fun.
    Just to top the day off, it still fuckin' raining. can't wait to walk home.
    I think I might be in love with Edie Brickell.
