Alright, old news for most I suppose (since it's actually three years old), but check out The Shield if you haven't already. In Norway it's been on Canal + earlier, and although my first thought was "ooh, another great series from the HBO network" it's actually from FX (don't ask me :p). Anyways, it's totally mindboggling and awesome -- I know the phrase might be overused, but it's really a groundbreaking series in its true meaning. Anyways, just got to borrow Season One on DVD from a friend, and woah it's just SO good. Forget everything you thought you've seen about cop series on TV. Watch this one instead - you won't regret. Seriously.
NB: Not for those faint of heart. I guess.
as a single mom just started this morning, after saying goodbye to Simen in front of a bus counting what, thirty, fourty, an even larger number ?? of twelve year old kids anxious to go on school camp. It's "only" for a week, but right now I seem to be in it for a looong week with a five month old baby crawling everywhere (and I mean everywhere!) and a four year old who's having a tendency to be pretty whiny too fast. *lets out a deep breath* It'll be okay...I'll survive...I *think* I might be better off than Simen, who's got like, loads of kids to look forward to 24/7.....I mean, some of the best things that I recall from these expeditions from my own childhood were to stay awake at night visiting each others and hiding when the poor, sleepless teachers tried to put us back to bed....:P And the noise level at the bus must be quite fun right now, with all those excited kids :P At least I only got two to look after right now :P And besides......there's like, loads of women (and some men) being this, alone with children, like, every day. I'll be ok......I really will.......... I think...
