Now, happily married and all I just wanted to make 2010 a productive year. Like:

1. Finish my book while juggling school and design work within this year. I know I mentioned that I’m going to be done with it last December, but I can’t just pull off a Stephenie Meyer. Writing a 500++ paged book in 3 months time is a feat that I can’t emulate when I have other tons of stuff to do on my plate.

2. Create a new daily routine that raises productivity 200%. It’s like inventing a meal between breakfast and brunch.

3. Master the art of multitasking so I can handle the new daily routine.

4. Speaking of art, I am starting to make some cute stick figures with Illustrator CS4 and turned them into wallpapers. Like this:

+ Odd Roald and Charles.

If you find it beautiful and if you want me to make one for you just drop me a message.

5. I think that’s all I can think of for now. Btw, here are some pictures I took during my Christmas vacay in Fredrikstad.

+ Odd’s cat, Gulliver.

+ The bench was full of snow.

+ Snow and frosted reeds.

+ Cold but beautiful horizon.

+ Moi on a ski trip.

That’s all.

This is always the lovely time of the year well, except birthdays of course! But the thing is this year it’s a bit special for us who live here in Bergen since we’re having a white Christmas! You see, it rarely snows in Bergen despite the coldness during Christmas time. We usually get snow after New Year or something like that.

+ The view from my kitchen window.

Snow is a magical blanket — it hides what’s ugly and makes everything beautiful.

Merry Christmas to everyone or God jul as we say it here!

That’s all.

From this picture of an old helmet we borrowed from the war museum here in Bergen…

…I managed to make something like this:

+ The whole look of the cd cover that goes around seamlessly from the front to the back.

+ The front part.

+ The back part.

+ This is how the interior looks like. It’s like you’re on the other side of the fence. The cd itself was designed to camouflage with the background.

+ The left part.

+ The right part.

I am very satisfied with the final result. What do you think guys?

That’s all.

Before everything else, I’d like to thank everyone for the well wishes. I am definitely healthy now and quite busy since it’s exam month at school. Before I am going to disappear indefinitely from my blog, I just have to make an update before Twitter takes over for tidbits of my boring life.

I noticed lately from my blog entries that I’m losing this panache I used to possess way back. I mean where is this guy who wrote about vaginal visas and other thought-provoking articles? Certainly not here now. Sometimes I thought that married life tamed me and so I have to take some drastic measures. According to my slutty mother (yes, she’s a slut, but in good way) that in order to have an exciting married life the wife which means me should act like a mistress. Wise words from someone who’s not even married. Yes, I was born out wedlock which explains the slutty-ness on my mother’s part.

I asked Odd if I bored him to death. He told me that I was never boring and he even confirmed that I’m a walking entertainment department as my father noted. Honestly, he’s right since I do have crazy ideas like one time I asked him if he could pay me after sex so I would feel like a prostitute. I can’t help, but laugh when I saw his expression. He said that being married to me felt like a wonderful adventure or misadventure that never ends. I am happy to hear that because I love him like crazy!

If I am living a vivacious life then why I can’t translate it into writing? I hope I am just having a mental menopause and it would just go away after some time. I haven’t even written a single thing in my novel so there goes my self-imposed deadline which is next month. I need a stimulation badly and probably some psychological masturbations too. Hehehehe.

I hope this post makes sense.

That’s all.

+ Dramatic news from the Hundred Acre Wood. Got this from an email sent by my mother-in-law.

Despite the road to recovery, I am stuck at home for like 8 days as the doctor ordered. I am bitching because as a gym rat, 8 days without going to the gym seems to be a persecution. I am afraid to lose the muscle I built and be fat again. On the bright side, I’ve heard that getting the swine flu makes one thinner and I thought it sounded promising.

Anyway, I’ll keep this short since I am still working on my project in the comforts of my sickbed with my Mac connected to a wi-fi. Thank God for technology!

That’s all.
