Rompe

Dagen i går var litt av en dag.
Startet tidlig. Veldig tidlig. -I alle fall i forhold til vanlig Tonje-standard.
Var på jobb så tidlig at jeg fikk spilt igjennom mesteparten flere ganger før prøven, veldig deilig. Burde bli en vane...
Deretter var det generalprøve, og så gikk dagen slag i slag.
Måtte innom den ene av orkesterets fysioterapeuter for et intervju (du vet, et sånt "vet du hvaslags risikogruppe du tilhører, hva du kan gjøre for å unngå belastningsskader, hvaslags skader pleier cellister å få... etc.etc), hjem for å spise litt, hvile litt - og så hive på meg konsertfiller før en times musikkskolehjelp (ministryk fra 17.30-18.30) - møte Jon Are kl.19 for avlevering av billett og så klistre på et fjes før oppvarming og konsert.
Etter konserten var det duket til fest "backstage", resultatet av bratsjprøvespillet - og første tilbakemeldingsmøte for Jaakko og meg. Grøss!
Superskummelt.!
Men, vi overlevde heldigvis begge to. Noen ting jeg skulle ta å jobbe litt med (litt overraskende, men ok.) men ingen store greier. Heldigvis.

Dagens morsomhet fant jeg på ICAnær på Stavanger Storsenter. Leser stadig vekk i "Broken English spoken perfectly" som jeg fikk av Eivind for noen år siden, så var inne i tankegangen.
*knis*

What an outfit!

Natasha was very inventive!

Saturday night fever

Saturday night was dedicated to the immortals.
First Robert and I went to see the old silent movie "Nosferatu" - accompanied live by Kitchen Orchestra (free jazz impro. Quite loud, but good anyway). They had announced half price for vampires, and I could not resist that. Had to dress up!

Afterwards, we went to a place called Sting. It's an art cafe/pub. There Tor was celebrating his 50th birthday, and so what would be better than get two vampires dropping by?
There was music, food, cakes and great people.
It all went way past bedtime...

Exactly!

Frode Øverli. I say no more!

Guess what!

At hotel Ernst, where Peder also lives this week, they have something quite interesting. Chewable omega 3 capsules. They tempt up with "fresh taste" and that they're in vegetable gelatin. Yeah, right. I'm sure it's some kind of tourist gimmic. When you try, you chew it and then you burp horrible codliveroil-taste for a week. Gotcha!

Cactus

This guy took a short rest to smoke under the cactus. What a lovely sight in Havnabakken!

Hahahaaa!

This is amazingly funny :)
But I guess you have to be Norwegian (or an extremely intelligent Swede) to understand it...

"Svensker er virkelig dumme"

Look!

And then we met Islam who taught mea how to put on this scarf. Don't I look kind of cute? Wonder if I should turn muslim.. Well, maybe not.

Hundvåg ink

Robi has got some bruises after the Chinese treatment yesterday, so I took the advantage of it to make a "tattoo". Longevity!

Monkeys

I've found my favorite seats on the buses around Stavanger. There are pictures of monkeys around. I feel very at home...

Knerten special!

Thought this might be a good alternative for your Japanese sugar pop game!

SUPLISE!

Fruits

In Sandvika. Helene, they're here too. It's safe to come back ;)

Norwegian is difficult

A new sort of Dolls house?

More fun

Possibly most fun for those who reads norwegian. I spotted this commercial on a bus stop in Stavanger.

Another observation...

At the bus terminal, checking the schedual, I noticed these boards. The right one is in fact right, while the left one is in a different time zone. I think.. (Would have had more boards in the picture if I would have flash installed in my high-tech phone)

Fun observation

Vojta reading a score, in a tu-tu?!

The Norwegian Operas new hobby

Headhunting! And so far they've gotten quite many...
