In Norway, one of our main Easter traditions is reading and watching crime fiction, which we will often sit down to enjoy after a long nice walk in the snow.

Deconstructed Red Mars/Green Mars/Blue Mars – Bar
As March is the month of the Roman god Mars, I decided that for this months geeky recipe, a deconstructed mars-bar would do nicely.
InterRail 2010 – Part 2: Exploring Berlin
After my unsavory experiences in Hamburg, I was very happy to finally start doing some real touristy stuff in Berlin.
Not a lot interesting happened to me in Berlin. I just had a nice day, walking around, taking pictures. Then I moved on to Amsterdam.
My Year In The Norwegian Airforce
Between the summer of 2009 and 2010, I served my mandatory military service as a guard in The Royal Norwegian Air Force.
InterRail 2010 – Part 1: From Bergen to Berlin
I am continuing my project of curating my own Facebook photos, and this post is the first in a long series about an InterRail-trip I took during October in 2010.
‘The Witcher 3: Hearts of Stone’ and ‘Pan Twardowski’
I have always been fond of subversions of fairy tales and fantasy, so it came as no surprise that I ended up loving ‘The Witcher 3’ when I played it about a year ago. The game was so full of subversions of different stories from my childhood that I was absolutely giddy!

Time Travel Stories
I love time travel in fiction.
That is one of the main reasons why I love Doctor Who.
I love how this storytelling device can put ideologies from vastly different cultures, separated by decades or centuries, up against each other. By doing this, we can compare them, and find strengths and weaknesses in both. It can also just lead to funny jokes, or cool imagery, like a medieval knight riding on a velociraptor and wielding a laser sword.
Games as Literature – Alan Wake
I have previously expressed my love for video essays on YouTube, and I now have yet another great example in “Games as Lit. 101”.
Alan Wake is a game about creative creation, specifically writing.
Any writers who are reading this should definitely watch the video above, even if they have never played the game.
I loved the game when it first came out, but I feel like
the subject-matter hits closer to home now that I have started intentionally writing
