These are drawings. They can not hurt you. They can make you feel something, but the people who drew these drawings are not responsible for your feelings.
If these drawings make you angry, you should leave this web page. If these drawings offend your religion, you should just say "whatever" and take solace in the fact that I, according to your believes, will burn in hell.
It's not unnecessary or unwise to print these drawings. It's important that people can't silence your right to expression by using their precious feelings as an excuse. These drawings should be printed everywhere.
If the imams who travelled to Arab countries (and even brought with them pictures and drawings that had nothing to do with this) and the Arabic leaders who demanded that the Danish prime minister should punish the cartoonists, could simply have let this go. This would then have gone away a long time ago.
They're just drawings! They can't hurt you or offend you!

In the advents calendar today: A big chocolate Santa.
24 blog postings this month. That must be more than the last two years put together.
I truly hope you all have a wonderful Xmas and a nice holiday!

In the advents calendar today: A chocolate cone with milky cream
A few years back I made a a compilation CD of Xmas tracks, something which I repeated the following year.
Unfortunately I never had time to make another one, but then Spotify came to the rescue. So I made a third CD (I downloaded the tracks) but I also made a play list that you can listen to if you have Spotify. (Note that I've managed to include yet another version of Snowman (Walking in the air))
In addition to the tracks from the third CD I made, I've also included all the tracks from the two previous CDs that I could find on Spotify. Enjoy.

In the advents calendar today: A sour vinegum coke bottle.
Been out on the kind of newspaper job I love: Taking in Molde High School of Performing Arts' completely non Xmas-related Xmas concert. It was great. Took a series of photos for the paper.

In the advents calendar today: A Four Leaf Clover (Milk chocolate with nuts)
The offspring and I had a mini Xmas Eve tonight, since he went back to his mother's place, and I won't be seeing him until the 27th. We therefore decorated the house, put up the tree and had porridge. Offspring won the almond contest and received the chocolate prize (as none of us likes those pigs made out of marzipan).

In the advents calendar today: A candy crocodile
Crashing in to a mountain with my car less than two weeks ago, didn't faze me. When my son went missing for 50 minutes today I almost freaked out.
I put on my clothes and went up to the shop and asked for him. They told me he had been there just ten minutes ago, but that he had left after paying for the bread.
By now I was starting to react like a woman, and I visualised everything from a hit and run to kidnapping.
When I came home, he was waiting for me at the top of the stairs leading down to our flat. I gave him my evil eye and asked him with a loud voice where the hell he had been.
Turns out he was late from the shop because he had shoveled the snow away from the stairs and porch so that I wouldn't have to later.
All my anger pretty much faded, and the immortal words from Calvin & Hobbes entered my mind: "Being a parent means wanting to both strangle and hug your kid at the same time." Bless him.

In the advents calendar today: A chocolate cone filled with milk cream
I can't even begin to describe how annoying it is when people don't follow through, especially when you have put in a lot of work yourself. Only to see it all fall apart.
Oh well, at least I've got the offspring this weekend, and it's snowing outside.
It's snowing in Molde/So magical/So beautiful

In the advents calendar today: A candy peace symbol
According to a psychological test done on me today, I'm a workaholic, or in immediate danger of becoming one.
My friends, and myself for that matter, have joked about it in the past, but I've got to admit that this was a bit of a wake up call.
I like being busy, and I'm one of those who wants to do it all! But I think I should cut down a bit now.

In the advents calendar today: A candy frog
Sometimes you get annoyed thinking of all the missed opportunities that passed you by because you were too slow to act on them, or you just didn't take them.
Sometimes you get annoyed thinking of the opportunities you did try to grab hold of, but you still missed them.
I seriously don't know what's more annoying of those two. The thought "Well, at least I tried" just doesn't cut it for me.
