Well, now that Blogger’s not acting up, and I’m not busy erasing my hard drive (on purpose), I can finally show you my new hairdo. I got tired of the blond stripes and wanted my brown back. And while I was at it, I changed the cut, too. I’m ready for more change. I wasn’t […]
Making the rounds of some Norwegian blogs is a meme about what you remember from 1987 (a 20th anniversary).
