Song of the Day: I Will Survive
March 4th, 2014 on 18:23The last night of my 5 days carnival experience is about to start which ‘naturally’ means that we are running in survival mode. 🙂
A last check revealed that most of the gladiators and gold-digger/pirate/mail(wo)man sidekicks can use a boost of energy and music is always a great source for energy. Our motto for tonight is SURVIVE so it should be no surprise that todays Song of the Day is ‘I will Survive‘ by Cake!
Personally I like this version much better than the original by Gloria Gaynor; way too much disco/dancing/swinging/upbeat/high pitched voices for me at this very moment! 🙂 (click this link though if you dare and/or prefer Gloria)
Enjoy y’all!

Back in Cycling-land
February 26th, 2014 on 23:06After being  home in Norway for two consecutive months (!), it was about time to get my ass in an airplane again…helloooo NL! 🙂 Bringing Misha to his mommy and five days of carnaval festivities from this weekend where the main reason, though I will stay for two full weeks to catch up with friends.
Similar to Norway, NL experiences an extremely mild winter; no snow and spring-like weather…being back in cycling-land brings me to the following YouTube video; amazing what this guy can do on a bicycle! His name: Danny MacAskill, a cycling artist…amaaaaazingggg!!
