The story of a bored individual...

Norway day.

roguem — Sun, 22 May 2022 09:58:15 GMT

Been really busy. Hoping to make a real entry / flist visit tomorrow. Just wanted to post a few 17th of May things to show you a little of what it's about.

And a little video of the festivities on the day here in our little slice of town.

Friends cut.

roguem — Wed, 22 May 2019 07:44:09 GMT

Am doing my friends cut now.
If you feel I've made a mistake by cutting you, please let me know.

Update:
All done with the cut. I doubt the people I cut will notice, but I was a bit more harsh than I usually am. However I am still kind of on the fence on a couple of people, but decided to give them a chance.

The Greatest Showman

roguem — Thu, 18 Jan 2018 11:15:37 GMT

So on Tuesday evening laraneia and I went to see The Greatest Showman. She loves musicals, and I'll watch petty much anything with Hugh Jackman. Plus one of the people on my Tumblr had been raving about it since its release in the US. I'm not the biggest fan of musicals, but I wasn't going to miss an opportunity to see a musical with Hugh Jackman on the big-screen.
I'd heard about this movie for a long time, and I knew that it was a passion project for Hugh, he's spent close to 8 years getting this movie made.
I still went in keeping my expectations low, but pretty much from the first lines of the first song I could just feel the love that had been put into this project. It's definitely a spectacle, but in the best way. I just loved it, the music, the acting, the costumes. It was also so obvious to see that the actors were having a good time, especially Hugh, as every smile seemed so genuine, like he was just so happy to finally be making this movie. I love that, I love when you can actually see that this is a movie they really wanted to be a part of. The movie is just magical.

I've been listening to the soundtrack on Spotify almost on a loop, and every time I think this is my favourite song, the next one starts and I change my mind. So yeah, if you like musicals and haven't seen this yet, go see it! Heck, go see it anyway, it's worth the trip to the cinema.

#TheGreatestShowman was magical.
It'd heard it was a passion-project for @RealHughJackman, and it really showed.
I just love it when you can clearly see how much the actor is enjoying themselves.
Will be listening to the soundtrack on a loop for a while. pic.twitter.com/xjiYbWYSR4

Seriously, if you haven't seen it yet, go see it!
It's pure magic, and has awesome songs. pic.twitter.com/ahn9PS4EUy

I'm not saying that I've been listening to #TheGreatestShowman soundtrack on Spotify all day, but it's not very far from being true.

For the book lovers on my Flist

roguem — Mon, 10 Apr 2017 11:24:14 GMT

Found on Tumblr:

I’M ABOUT TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOREVER, BOOK NERDS

Do you like books!?
OF COURSE YOU DO

Do you like reading books?
DUUUUUH!

Do you collect books and let them sit on your shelf!?
WHAT IS THIS!? AMATEUR hOUR? OF FUCKING COURSE!

Do you spend WAAAAAAY too much money on books even though they’re totally worth it but holy fucking shit fifteen dollars is the median and why is the world so effortlessly cruel?
Who’s got two thumbs and an empty wallet! Yes yes and yes!

WELL HAVE I GOT A SOLUTION FOR YOU

Thriftbooks is an amazing online site that sells used books! These books are, for the most part, in great condition. I’ve used this website for everything from textbooks to fiction to everything else in between! It has a wide selection with an even wider selection of options per book!
You want softcover? They’ve got it! Hardcover? Of course! Audio? Why not!
Hell! They even sell the books in other languages!
You might say to me, humanity, why are you telling us this? We already have barnes and noble!
Because, my poor, naive friend, thriftbooks sells the majority of it’s books for under four dollars.
That’s right. You heard me. Under. Four. Dollars.
And right now, they’re having a huge deal!
2 books for $7
3 books for $10
4 books for $12

But wait! There’s more!

If you leave a book in your cart for long enough, chances are you’ll be alerted when a seller nearby, for a cheaper price, has the same book! You’ll get it cheaper and faster, with less waste of paper and time!
And prices change! That book that would have cost you $3.79 one day might be $3.45 the next, and man oh man isn’t that the best thing to see when you check up on your cart.
So what are you waiting for, book lovers! Go! Go shop!
Go and rule the world!
Be the book lovers I know you can be!

I just ordered my first batch of books from this site. I was astounded by how cheap I could get hardbacks. Yes, they're used, but that doesn't matter to me. And by shopping with them you're supporting a good cause.
The free shipping reward is only open for Americans, but with the discount codes and other bonuses you're able to get that won't really be much of a problem in the long run.

I might regret this

I've finished my friends cut.
Mostly cut people I felt haven't really been around here much or at all.
Wishing you all the best in the future.

roguem — Tue, 05 Jul 2016 10:54:22 GMT

Am considering doing a friends cut before I go to Poland.
Just let me know if you want out and I'll remove you.

Friends cut

roguem — Sat, 14 Nov 2015 15:21:40 GMT

I've finished my friends cut. Sorry if you're hurt or offended.

My main reasons for cutting:
Those who commented here less than once a month.
Those who never or very rarely replied to comments.
Those who've been gone for over two months.

I wish you all the best.

I'll never understand what the terrorists think they accomplish with such horrible acts of violence.

ACTA in a Nutshell –

What is ACTA? ACTA is the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement. A new intellectual property enforcement treaty being negotiated by the United States, the European Community, Switzerland, and Japan, with Australia, the Republic of Korea, New Zealand, Mexico, Jordan, Morocco, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, and Canada recently announcing that they will join in as well.

Why should you care about ACTA? Initial reports indicate that the treaty will have a very broad scope and will involve new tools targeting “Internet distribution and information technology.”

What is the goal of ACTA? Reportedly the goal is to create new legal standards of intellectual property enforcement, as well as increased international cooperation, an example of which would be an increase in information sharing between signatory countries’ law enforcement agencies.

Essential ACTA Resources -

Read the authentic version of the ACTA text as of 15 April 2011, as finalized by participating countries here: ACTA Finalized Text
Follow the history of the treaty’s formation here: ACTA history

I've cut 15 people, a few hadn't posted in a long while, some I can't even remember the last time we commented in eachother's journals, and the rest I feel ike we've just grown apart.

If I cut you and you think I made a mistake, leave a comment.

roguem — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 14:18:03 GMT

I'll be doing a friends cut in the next couple of minutes/hours/days.
I feel like I've lost contact with a lot of people here, we don't talk anymore and seem to have moved on to our our own things.
A very few I just feel like I was the only one making an effort, and then i really don't see the point.
I'll let Y'all know when it's over.

Batman: Under the Red Hood blazes onto DVD July 27! Starring the voice talents of Bruce Greenwood, Neil Patrick Harris, Jensen Ackles, and Jason Isaacs.

Some thoughts on recent, and not so recent TV.

roguem — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 12:32:14 GMT

Just my thoughts and opinions on a few shows.
I'll try to keep it short:

SUPERNATURAL
I don't understand the hate towards Dean. It boggles my mind.
Seriously? He's not alowed to feel lost, and beaten down and just out of hope? Would anyone here say no to Michael? Dean was just doing what he's always done; wanting to sacrifice himself for the people he loves.
After the shit Sam pulled last season, and how it seemed so many were defending his choices, I just can't see what Dean has been doing as something wrong. I'm just baffled. If this were real life wouldn't everybody want Dean to say yes?
I actually feel like Dean's actions and everything that's happened have brought Sam and Dean closer again. And I'm so glad that Sam had faith in Dean, even when Dean had no faith in himself. To me that was a very important step forward for them.
I don't mean to step on anyone's toes with this post, but this is one of those times where I really don't understand the other sides point of view.

I have been really enjoying season 5 this far, I have to admit there was a point in season 4 where I my devotion to the show kind of wavered, but I'm really glad I stuck with it. I am really exicted to see how the rest of the season unfolds.


GLEE
I wasn't very impressed with the return of Glee. I feel like they crammed 2-3 episodes worth of story into one and it just felt forced. I would basically have let Finn dump Rachael a little later in the episode, and then have her meet Jesse once or twice before she thinks it's real love. The reveal that she's dating Jesse could have waited until next episode.
Same goes for the Will/Emma thing, their story could have gone the way it did, but having Will make out with Shelby before he and Emma decided to wait a little would have been better. Now I just feel like Will is a douche, not impressed by that.
Also I would have liked to see more of how Puck and Quinn are dealing with what happened, and I always want Kurt to have more screentime.
I hope the next episode won't feel as rushed, and that they can find their stride again.


SONS OF ANARCHY, ses 2.
I liked the season and the buildup, but I wasn't so impressed by the end of the season. It's probably because I usually hate it when characters dig themselves into a hole so deep I really can't see them getting out again. Also not a fan of baby-napping as a plot device.


HOUSE
Cameron and Chase are idiots.


WHITE COLLAR
Really enjoyed this show, and can't wait for it to come back.


BEING HUMAN
Have been watching this with laraneia and Ray. We have 3 episodes left, but seem to be kind of stuck there. I'm sure we'll finish, but I'm not in a big rush. I enjoy the show, but I suddenly realized that I stopped caring about what Mitchell is up to, and I'm also loosing interest in George. Still, the last 3 episodes might change all that.


Think that's it for now, real life will hopefully be posted within the next few days... or hours. ;)
