Projects

Projects that I'm a part of: Other/personal projects/stuff/pages located on this site (that should be updated regularly): Back to page map.

Interests

I like to write/read fiction (poems, short stories and novels, mostly related to crime/horror) and facts (e.g. psychology, philosophy, religion, art, culture, politics, local history and mythology).

I like music: rock/metal (e.g. Behexen, Black Sabbath, Carpathian Forest, Darkthrone, Deathspell Omega, Emperor, Katharsis, Koldbrann, Led Zeppelin, Mgla, Pink Floyd, Tool, Tsjuder and Xasthur). I also like some electronica (e.g. Drexciya, Kraftwerk, Mortiis and Underworld).

I like movies: giallo, crime, horror, thriller, sci-fi and drama (e.g. A Blade in the Dark, Alien, The Beyond, Brokeback Mountain, Cruel Intentions, Donnie Darko, Lost in Translation, The Omen, Profondo Rosso, The Silence of the Lambs and Suspiria). My favourite TV-series is Band of Brothers and The X-Files.

I like beer (mostly norwegian) and whisk(e)y (mostly scottish and irish). I especially prefer scottish single malt whisky from the following regions: Highland, Islay and Speyside. Occationaly I drink cognac, gin, mead, sherry, vodka and wine as well, although I tend to prefer beer and whisk(e)y. I'm trying to drink responsibly (with various degree of success).

I like various pipe-tobaccos, but I tend to prefer regular Amphora. Note however that I don't use illegal substanses, although I am positive when it comes to decriminalization of cannabis and other mild (and currently illegal, in most countries) substanses, which you can read more about elsewhere on this site.

The following are mentioned because of my fascination/obsession: Animals with silly walks (e.g. penguins, crabs and turtles), watching people arguing - or watching people in love with each other, a dry sense of humor, people with comb overs, paintings/pictures/drawings of desolated and/or abandoded places/people, numbers (e.g. the binary and hexadecimal numeral systems), colors (e.g. black and green) and shapes (e.g. pentagrams, hexagrams and octagrams).

For those who care; I have a screenshot of my terrible desktop (from my laptop; kittelsen), as well as a screenshot of my main computer (named xasthur) and an ogg vorbis-file of me prounoncing the word "Linux" in Norwegian.
