Christmas is… white

… and apparently it will be at least for another three weeks.

The view from my work-room window. 

But enough with the romance already. A true Western Norwegian is actually quite surprised if Christmas is white. The hard-core ones of us prefer the snow ready plowed (read: rain). We are a water-proof breed. Snow is beautiful. On film. In real life it´s quite unpractical. So my plan is to take lots of pretty pictures while the snow is here, and then celebrate when it´s gone. I mean, pretty as it is, it is cold. And I freeze easily. It´s a good thing electricity and floor-heating has been invented!

As I said, enough with the romance. I went to a concert tonight. A Pink Floyd  tribute band. Boy, those guys didn´t PLAY rock-stars! The concert was great! I mean, not just did they play great, but they had a whole concept. Lights, lots of lights, a film set-design, part live and part pre-recorded, sometimes at the same time. It was just way cool. Loud enough to totally get absorbed into the music, but not so loud that you couldn´t hear the details of all the instruments and voices and sound-effects. So I´m totally putting this on my 41 things-list!

They made me re-discover pink Floyd´s music. And finished with a totally not-commercial song called “The trial”. Seriously. I though I was the only one who liked crazy-weird music like this. The music is so visual, there are loads of pictures just waiting to come alive!
