Bugatti Veyron

Posted on 26. July 2009 20:59 - 127 comments

If you're a car guy, or girl(!!), Monaco is one of the coolest places om earth. Super sportcars on every corner. I dont read the newspaper while drinking coffee, i enjoy the view of the cars passing by. On some streets you might have problems sleeping at night because the sound of italien V8s and V10s at high rpm. I got to try the Bugatti Veyron, probably the sickest super sportscar ever made. Full carbon, 4 wheel drive, 16 pistons, 4 turbos, 1001 horsepower and big smiles guaranteed... I was nowhere close to trying out what its good for, but it was still a blast.

407km/h actually rrroooaaa
30. Jul 11:51 - .... said:
this car can drive 400km/h... but only 10min. because the tyres are "dead" after this 10min. also the fuel is over with this speed after 15min....

the sound of engine is best sound ever... for me the best good night song... it means, I can live in monaco... for me isn´t problem sleep, when the engine souns is on :-)))

geez, 4h without posts, I am a bit concerned, everyone must be eating cupcakes or practising some songs to sing with the band.

Anyway: Okay, okay, I will not fight for forum than (like I had any power to do that, haha, or maybe?..), I am leaving this idea for now, as long as we can post here and have a little chat;-P
That would be all for today, got to go now...see you ;-P
28. Jul 14:17 - christiane said:
yep ;)
28. Jul 14:13 - winter fairy said:
over and out!!!
28. Jul 14:02 - christiane said:
maybe. i m there anyway.

oh, then i ll have to give out my real name. hm. haha
but it would maybe be "nicer" for Aksel not to have his side bombed by us here....
or getting the ploce on us to come to our homes and rip the pcs out of our hands...
28. Jul 14:00 - *I-ski-like-a-girl* said:
Oh meet on facebook...could be fun:-)
28. Jul 13:38 - christiane said:
besides the fact that he ll probably never read thru all this anyway, cause he ll get bored of mental women talking weird stuff about totally immaterial things really haha
28. Jul 13:35 - christiane said:
@Longstockings i agree with you. if we want to chat about whatever god and the world we should meet on facebook or whatever or we make our own website!!
this here is about Aksel and not our chatroom...
28. Jul 13:33 - A. said:
I caused a controversy, wow;-) If Longstockings does not do forums, that's the problem. Actually, I don;t do forums as well, but I thought it'd be more fun that way, if there would be like 400 posts an hour after NBC shows the documentary about Aksel's training before the Olympics, in spandex, hopefully;-)
anyway, maintenancewise, I think I have to go now and actually work. I mean I love my work, but the writing here is tempting. It's a great substitute activity, instead of actually producing some wise sentences for work purposes. Oh, anyway, see you!
28. Jul 13:24 - Longstockings said:
Nah, don't do forums. Blogs I do, forums... not my thing.

Besides, this site is supposed to be about Aksel (u-huh! seriously! that's why it's called "Aksel Lund Svindal - personal site".) and not about us.
28. Jul 13:21 - winter fairy said:
good idea about the forum, I hope Aksel sees that. If not we could organise it ourself, after all we are all smart, beuatiful, sexy sporty women ......(happy smile on my face lol)
28. Jul 13:14 - Longstockings said:
it would be maybe more comfortable -maintenancewise - if we all just shut up! *uncontrollable laughter*
28. Jul 13:08 - A. said:
*laughing* Christiane, great picture you painted for us here, indeed. There's a saying that there's no harm done to the one who agrees (or whatever the english translation would be). So, if the comments are allowed by the owner of the website he cannot complain;-)

personally, I think it would be cool if the website had forum or something like that, with just little space to comment the pictures. Don't get me wrong, I like it here, but I assume - and I have to say I am usually right ;-) - that the traffic on the website will increase the closer we get to the olympics or generally in the season.
So it would be maybe more comfortable -maintenancewise - to make a forum with organised topics (one called obviously: The Great Cupcake Conversation), but it's just a suggestion. ;-)
28. Jul 12:58 - Longstockings said:
Indeed, A. it's all very Rive Gauche of us. All that's missing is the cigarette smoke and someone quoting Sartre.
28. Jul 12:57 - christiane said:
i dont think Aksel ll complain about us terrorising his blog. he ll sray friendly and say that it is good that there is so much interest and that we are really funny and stuff. and whilest writing the words " ....you are funny haha..." he will be packing his bags, getting his little brother to wait outside the house ,with the engine running car and dark shades and neon blue nike shorts, to jump into the car and rethink his whole lifeplan. And eventually he ll decide to quit skiing and become a top gun pilot with new identity and stuff and live somewhere hidden away in the alps and on Bali opening up a make up production company to live off forever.
28. Jul 12:53 - A. said:
"traumatising the sportsmen" , good one;-) I don;t think that's too easy, I guess we have not yet crossed the line, have we?

There's no stalking, no marriage proposals (yet), not even photos of female fans, no photoshopping etc.

Only an entertaining intelligent conversation, about - basically - all aspects of life (food, clothes, features of desired men, metrosexuality, feminism, transportation, accommodation, beauty, films, books, economy, technology, real estate, international institutions and law).

I would say, it's all pretty intellectual, isn't it?
28. Jul 12:52 - christiane said:
well i am definitely a woman. i mean, now, really, noone ever doubted that. and if they did, they probably didnt say, cause they know i punch the .... out of them and then steal their Audi hooooaaarrrrr

i know - violence is not the answer.

so now you can make your own mind up hehe
28. Jul 12:47 - winter fairy said:
what the hell.....Aksel throws a bone and since he does not have time chewing it we do it for him hahahaha. I don't think he'll be stressed - it is only good for him to see/read the women aspect of sick cars n stuf. BTW how many of you guys here are really actually guys?
28. Jul 12:45 - christiane said:
yeah not bad at all!!! i m tellin ya girls we should get money for this.







and food







cars







food







alcohol





cupcakes and a new sofa





and an Audi for me
28. Jul 12:44 - Longstockings said:
So now we have the Amnesty International, the United Nations, Norwegian Ski Federation and angry naked Jamie Oliver after us? Not bad, for a day and a half's work!!
28. Jul 12:42 - christiane said:
haha, nooooooooo we never really brought it up - that is tru! shame on the man feeding us hackers with info like "lipstick"!!!
he probably needs a therapy after looking at this block. i feel responsible now now for traumatising a sportsman, the norwegian skiclub will be hunting us forever.
28. Jul 12:39 - christiane said:
me? samantha? hm, dunno, i m definitely into the carrer thing ( need enough money to buy new Audi and look super sexy getting out of it...) but the rest.... i m definitely not a sexmaniac like she is haha ( hold on, is that good for me now or bad? bollocks ). and she goes out with this sooooo much younger guy doesnt she? naaa, a younger man is always good ;) but too young can be a desaster also. hm. nope, i wouldnt go with samantha really
28. Jul 12:36 - Longstockings said:
And we have 100. *cracks up completely*

@A. I want on board the jet! Wow!
And we weren't just laughing at our own jokes, we were discussing the lipsticks, and that's NOT a "sex-and-a-city" topic, despite Christiane claiming so, because Aksel brought it up. So we cannot be blamed for that. For a lot of things, yes, but not for that one.
28. Jul 12:35 - winter fairy said:
@christiane and you would be .......which character in SIC......Samantha maybe lol
28. Jul 12:34 - christiane said:
oh, i made the 100th. uups.

@A - i ve seen this video before somewhere. isnt it cool!!!???? this is just pure sex.
i so so os would want to do this one day ( my actual dream), both- in the car and the jet. always wanted to sit in a MIG, dont care if i d shit myself to be honest. or puke cupcakes
down on the ground.
28. Jul 12:27 - christiane said:
i m givin up. it is all a sex and the city thing going on here now....
28. Jul 12:26 - Longstockings said:
@*i-ski-like-a-girl*: nah, we'll leave 200th for Aks. *laughs*

The shoes stay prettier if you keep them in the boxes and not crammed together in a heap on your hallway floor. Just saying...

As for hair... you're right. Besides, my current hairdo is a cross between ancient Greek goddess and 50's pin-up girl, so how could I resist?!? As for having both straightening and curling iron... variety! D'oh! How else are you supposed to go from sexy anime-like look to California surfer girl in two hours?

I bet Aksel's wishing we return to the topic of cupcakes now... hahahaa.
28. Jul 12:26 - A. said:
Look what I' ve found! To return to original topic (and pretend we're still commenting the car instead of being so egocentric to laugh from our own jokes like we really did not need Aksel to post anything more because we already have tons of fun ha!)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3OYZyRzZ1k

Man, I have nerves of steel generally, but I think I would faint if I drove with this guy....
28. Jul 12:25 - christiane said:
here i am again. had to do some work, you know - that stuff you do once in a while to keep your fridge filled up ;) (which means basically keeping me filled up and happy)

me and speechless??????????????? that is about as much possible as me running up this streif racetrack WITH SKIES ON!!!!

Beckham sexy?????? ah well jesus!!! i want a man to go out with and not a handbag!!!!!!!! eyeliner on a man? no way, i hate things like that. Real men dont need this sh..! as longstockings said - a tall handsome guy to protect you, who has good manners and a gentleman's side and makes me laugh. that is all you need. according to the body treatment subject - nice smell, clean clothes and nice hands, and off i go with him haha. uuuuuu not into this meterosexual thing aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat all. and yes, we are there to be beautiful anyway, so the man doesnt need to be. he s just supposed to be a deadsexy dude whehn smiling ;)

@longstockings were the guys picking up the sofa at least good looking?
28. Jul 12:11 - *I-ski-like-a-girl* said:
@Longstockings: Haha you gave them to charity to have more space for moving (shoe)boxes. Well that's the reason why I always leave'em in the shop.

Don't bother...it's not wrong that you have fallen in love with your hair. For women it's even kind of normal (in my opinion). I'm always wondering, though why I own a straighter and a curling iron. Who knows but at least we don't have to concern about receding hair:-)

By the way: Who is allowed to post our 100 th comment???? Probably Aksel???
28. Jul 12:05 - winter fairy said:
"sick cars", fancy watches, high tec h this and that, now lipsticks.....OK, Aksel be so kind and reveal do you wear perfume and which one is no 1 on your must have list......
28. Jul 11:52 - Longstockings said:
@*i-ski-like-a-girl*: no, I no longer have a sofa. Nor an armchair. Two men came and took them away. (read: I gave them to charity.) Oh well, more room for moving (read: shoe) boxes.

@A.: I know! It's insane how many posts there is. And you're right, I don't think Aksel's seen them yet, either. Boy is he in for a surprise... *laughs* It's going to take him forever just to read through them all.

By they way, is it wrong that I've fallen in love with my own hair?

Re: lipstick. That's almost too easy to joke about. I wonder, was it more of a nude shade, or something pink and summery? Corals are always huge during the summer months, too. Or maybe they went for the dangerous and smolderingly sexy look with deep red. To match the Bugatti. (see! I returned to the original topic!! I so deserve pictures now, after being a good girl for once in my life...)
28. Jul 11:50 - Susanne said:
93th??^^
28. Jul 11:28 - A. said:
going for 100 baby!!!
seriously, I spit my coffee almost when I read about the lipstick.

I have a suspicion that Aksel really has not yet seen all those posts (being busy getting makeup and stuff) but somehow he synchornised with us here, intuitively writing about something that would surely cause comments LOL

LIPSTICK - I sympathise dude, but being honest - tell me guys, wouldn't you like to see the picture of Aksel with a lipstick on, here? I would, with all due respect, I would!
28. Jul 10:59 - *I-ski-like-a-girl* said:
@ Longstockins: You have no longer a sofa??? My deepest sympathy. Well as a student I never had the privilege to own one. In the last few years I'd rather spent my money for new skis. Let's call it prioritize...
28. Jul 10:30 -
@*I-ski-like-a-girl* you have a point but like I said he is beautiful and sexy by nature he does not need anything I mean anything just maybe a layer of matifying compact when photoshooting in order to have "matt" pics hahahaha . OK maybe sweet lip balm ........ lol
UR wondering what Victoria fancies about him well I am wondering what he fancies on her.........like a squeezed bag bone......what the hack we all have our own taste and likes and dislikes......and thank god for that.... Longstockings and Christiane: are you wordless/speachless when got the make up news? Are you out there somewhere? Can't let go without your comments to that.....enlighten us please........
28. Jul 10:27 - Longstocking said:
@Christiane: I thought that was a turkey. (just kidding!)

@i-ski-like-a-girl: Let's do that.

re: metrosexuality. I have to say I've never been into pretty men. I like them roughed up a bit. Call it vanity and me wanting to be the pretty one in the relationship, but there you have it. A strong pair of shoulders and a broken nose make my knees all wobbly. (and no, that's not the whisky talking.)

I no longer have a sofa.
28. Jul 10:20 - *I-ski-like-a-girl* said:
In times of metrosexuality, lipstick on men can be extremely sexy and so is eyelash and eyeliner:-) Just look at David Beckham ...but I still don't get why Victoria fancies him. Well I have to continue my studies...Time's up
@ Longstockings: Let's go shopping
28. Jul 10:03 - christiane said:
gluck gluck gluck (that is supposed to be the sound of swallowing liquid in case it is not coming across clear enough!!)

haha

dont like whisky. yek. you could probably make run up the streif in kitzbühel from bottom to top just hunting me with whisky. uuuuaaaa although it is great stuff made ( 11 years of gastronomie working...), irish ones are good i think. but, yeeeak for me. did i mention i dont like whisky?
28. Jul 09:58 - Longstockings said:
I'd rather take full whisky bottles. I mean, yeah, they hurt more, but you'd get the whisky. (What happened to me not sounding like an alcoholic?!?)
28. Jul 09:53 - christiane said:
haha! well, keep going, i m sure you ll manage to write some stuff anyway!

i am considering to go looking for a nice plave for all d lunatics here, so we have a place to run to in case Aksel starts hunting us in a car, on a bike or a boat, threatening us with looks and throwing horrible lipglosses and empty whisky bottles from Jansrud.
hm, if we all pull together i can find us a good enough hideaway. comissionfree haha
28. Jul 09:49 - winter fairy said:
good morning sweethearts >< well new subject is opened -> Aksel in photoshoot with make up?! OMG, poor Aksel, I sincerely hope he did not agree for the lipstick. I mean hey, he is beautiful by nature, do not mess with that!!! Curious if he'll post a pic though.....
28. Jul 09:48 - Longstockings said:
Takes one to know one and all that...
re: words on blank paper. No, I didn't. But thanks for asking. I did manage a blog post that even made it to the blog this morning, though, so it wasn't a completely useless day.
28. Jul 09:43 - christiane said:
ah, we would never get the wrong impression. how can lunatics get a wrong impression of other lunatics?? haha
it is like the modern internet version of "one flew over the cocoos nest" meetin "sex and the city" haha. ooooii
28. Jul 09:38 - Longstockings said:
Yeah... so... so far on this blog I've come across as sequin-wearing ABBA-loving alcoholic who regularly OD's on cupcakes and does dirty things for shoes. Great. I need to stop posting here, before you really get the wrong impression of me. hahahaa.
28. Jul 09:35 - christiane said:
we need new blog food here before we cover it with worse nonsense haha. it is reeeeaaally bad already...

@Longstockings - did you get to write some words on ur blank paper yesterday in the end?
28. Jul 09:28 - christiane said:
there you go haha *LOL*
28. Jul 09:27 - Longstockings said:
@Christiane: no no, don't be hurt. *laughs* It's just incredible that it happens all the time. I must really check what sort of vibes I'm giving out...

Then again, for the right pair of shoes, I'd totally do dirty things. *cracks up*
28. Jul 09:23 - christiane said:
i am very hurt and disappointed now about the accuse of corruption here. ts ts have to have some biscuits now. grrrrmpf
28. Jul 09:22 - christiane said:
@longstockings

ah come on, i only tried to get a nice present out of this for you :( :( :(
28. Jul 09:19 - Longstockings said:
@Christiane: I would have pegged Aksel more as a lip gloss type, too... *laughs* Poor guy. (What?!? I ATTEMPTED sincerity! That counts.)
28. Jul 09:17 - Longstockings said:
This is incredible! Wherever I go, whomever I meet, within 10 minutes they're like "Oh, just get her a pair of pretty shoes and she'll do anything for you!" What the ...?!? Do I have a note around my neck saying "will sell out for shoes"? One on my forehead going "Does dirty things for footwear"?

As for cupcakes, there's about gazillion (yes, that's SO a number) recipes. And I happen to make the most amazing ones. With and without frosting.

I'm still upset over my apparent perceived corruptibility.*stares her screen in shock* I need to go play with my hair now.
28. Jul 09:10 - christane said:
haha guys, just laughed my heart out! the poor guy is at a photoshoot being abused with make up again! read the last twitter entry!

i think lipstick does go a bit too far though.
28. Jul 09:03 - christiane said:
ssssss! nicht fluchen!
selber backen :)

have to continue in english again, german is unfair and impolite to the others here.
get longstockings to make some nice cupcakes for you!! you just have to buy her a pair of shoes, that would only be fair in return i guess ;)
28. Jul 08:58 - *I-ski-like-a-girl* said:
Right. Und dieses Sch*** frostie oben drauf. Echt ätzend...da hilft dann nur Vodka oder ne Ladung root beer float:-)
28. Jul 08:56 - christiane said:
haha!
@i ski like a girl weil die in amerika einfach keine gscheiten rezepte und ECHTE zutaten haben. Pfui stimmt also. da hilft nur runterspülen mit vodka hehe
28. Jul 08:53 - *I-ski-like-a-girl* said:
You guys are crazy...Unfortunately I missed the whole discussion. Still have to prepare myself for an exam before l'm waiving goodbye:-) Crazy...

There is only one more thing to add. I just came back from the States and they wanted me to try the as they said most delicious cupcakes in the world...Well don't wanna be rude so I did what they wanted ...Gosh, in Germany we'd say -> Pfui Teufel. I don't know whether there are better recipes but those were unenjoyable.

Don't know whether we can reach the peak of 100 entries:-) haha, don't panic aksel

Cya, *I-ski-like-a-girl*
28. Jul 08:53 - christiane said:
well gud morning boys and girls ;)

First - i very much doubt that Mr. Svindal will kick us out of this blog. i actually do believe that he should start payin us some wages or food or so for this hard work we are doing here every day ( well, me only since yesterday really, but i think i caught up quite well...).
of course i personally dont mind being payd in Audis ;) or shoes.

second - well it is no surprise that this blog brings up so much interest ( guys, can we really call these hyper intelligent comments of ours "interest"??? hm ). car, guy, monaco. well, i am not so intersted in Monaco, but i am mad about cars, so it had to happen! and mad about food, so that had to happen also. i was basically forced into this. yes. poor me. need a cup of tea now to calm me down. stress.

and the guy , hm, well yes of course that is a very nice part of the blog too. but i think i would still take the car for a good drive first and then pick him and the cupcakes up haha ;)

third - dunno, but the post about Thor doesnt really bring up that many dirty thoughts in my head ( didi i just say that?????? ). maybe if d bike would be a 4wd and smell of diesel or so (sorry Thor...). but i have so very much respect for all these guys and what their bodies are able to is fantastic. I havent followed that much of it to be honest, watched a bit of d F1 instead and collected a few freckles out in the sun ;)

so, we re on our way to the blog record! very cool guys, ;) you are all sound!
28. Jul 00:16 - justi said:
Dear Aksel's fans: your replies are like a story about cars, car guys and car girls, cupcakes, chocolate etc. It's a true pleasure for me to read this all. :)
Greetings and good night!;)

P.S. Axl, don't be shocked about so many entries...:)
27. Jul 23:45 - Longstockings said:
@A.: I was going to make a joke way too dirty to this blog, thanks to your last comment, so I guess it's time for me to bow out. :) I need my beauty sleep, after all.
27. Jul 23:33 - A. said:
Oh, winter fairy, it got really crazy, as you see. it must have been the heat or sth that affected everyone, right? LOL

"Stockings, yeah, I think you're right about the meaning of the word, it's not exactly the situation like that in here. we indeed really want a car! (in real life, not a blog life, associating a guy with a car or a car with a guy can be very misleading ;-) of course, here, association is good -Bugatti fast, Aksel -fast, all in its place;-)
27. Jul 23:09 - winter fairy said:
well after the killing training I had in fitness today I just stopped by the blog to actualy see what excitment was on the menu today for Axel. And Omg so many replies - i bet he did not think what a hurricane would come out of it. Well, I think we shoild all wait and see what Simpaticus has to say in the coming days...... I wish him & all of you good night. And sweet dreams with whomever wherever......
27. Jul 22:51 - Longstockings said:
A., your summary of the earlier developments in the Adventures in Aksel Lund Svindal's Blog made me laugh out loud.

As for the car being a chick magnet... I believe the term is applied in the sense that a car that cool would make the driver look cool by association, and therefore girls would want him. Now... We want the car!! *laughs*

And I'm sorry. I cannot speak with a serious face of someone named Thor. I mean, hello?!? Hypocritical of me, I know, given that I share a name with a goddess.
27. Jul 22:40 - A. said:
we can stay here and go for 100 posts to shock Aksel completely or we can move to the previous post and comment on Thor Hushovd or wrote something about Andy Schleck, I am all alone there;-)

also, I know what was missing here all day: noone really named the car "chick-magnet" - isn't there a truth in this name? one post about a car and there are 60 posts, mostly from girls, I assume. No offence intended to Aksel, I do not think he really predicted the effect of this one innocent post with a cool car, it's beyond control LOL

ok, I am after my workout and obviously not in a mood to sleep, someone has to take the keybord from me...
27. Jul 22:37 - LeSkA said:
oh my! Lots of reading to do if you're leaving the blog for some days, both from Aksel and the fans! And I like it, love it, like it! Seems like funny days for you Aksel, and as the rest here; I wouldn't mind joining you :)
27. Jul 22:18 - la said:
60
27. Jul 22:06 - A. said:
good lord, guys, I leave for a couple of hours and what I come to: naked Jamie Oliver cruising around UN headquarters with Jolie-Pitts, adopted and somehow banned Longstockings and Christiane, almost in spandex, oooo myyy god!
I will rescue you guys, I am a good in rescuing, I will come in a Bugatti I will hijack from Monaco and rescue you!

Seriously, this is ridiculously funny after all, great ideas, great plans, sky is the limit LOL

And honestly, I do not know how you get to try Bugatti for 1million euros, really. On the other hand, I have not yet built my credibility of being trusted with speed by skiing down the mountain on ice 130km/h wearing only tight spandex and little helmet, so maybe that's the key to that right? Like the Bugatti owner knows that Aksel is able to at least keep the line while driving?

I am also -again - afraid that the comments options could be switched off after all, we must have a plan B for a place where we would be up to no good *grins*

27. Jul 21:32 - Too curious said:
The real question is :
WHO does this car belongs to ????
Not Jon's car because his Lamborghini is white... Or maybe he got a new one...
Let us know :) Thx
27. Jul 21:15 - justi said:
Haha, Aksel will be surprised that you left so many comments... ;)
27. Jul 20:48 -
MY GOD PEOPLE!!!!! 55 comments!! Really?!?! (and about cupcakes!)
27. Jul 20:05 - christiane said:
oh, BONO would be cool. i have deep connections to Ireland. love it.

Brad? naaa. Angelina? nope. dont like them.
and if anyone adopts me he would need food for me constantly and 2 fridges and a cook :)

did i mention that i am actually super sporty slim? looking back it sounds like you d only need a plug and some shelfs in me and i d be my own fridge... bollocks, no no!!!
27. Jul 20:01 - christiane said:
i actually wonder ( haaaa, super fast thinking girl i am... it is only the real topic of this blog and was up there 52 comments ago.... ts ts ts. it s the thoughts about food s fault ) how did he get to try a Bugatti????? i mean, i never get the opportunity to try a car like this and hey i am oil and engine - smelling addicted - super multitasking woman!!!
man only try the " hey, can i show you my carseats?" thing on me.
:(
27. Jul 19:59 - Longstockings said:
I'm expecting Bono to throw a concert for us and Angelina and Brad to adopt us soon. That or they'll send us to the Hague for crimes against humanity and the general protocol of Internet that forbids you to hijack innocent alpine skiers blogs.
27. Jul 19:44 - christiane said:
hahaha! yeah, creativity seems endeless here.

well, i opened the office today at 8:30, had a glass of icecold water to start with ( super hot here...) ( and, yes i do wear clothes too ), did some office work and shared balabala thoughts on this blog drinking more ice cold water and using the super mini van in my office ( it is tryin to convince me of its existance as a real van...), looked at a really cool place to be sold, let my boss invite me for lunch ( that s what you get from high heels ;) ), drove around a little, got back here and now i m putting mainly senseless stuff on this page makin amnesty international AND the United Nations probably think - poor girl has no home to go to and definitely needs some kind of therapy. life is tough really.

and yep - shoes are great. yep. yep. :)

I've been staring an empty page the whole day, trying to write something. Sorted through my closet (it calms me, and shoes make me happy) and then returned to the writing. Cooked a bit (with all my clothes on, mind you) and stared at the empty page some more. Ran some errands and returned to the writing. Loaded the laundry machine and still didn't get a word on paper. I'm blocked.

Oddly enough, I seem to have plenty to write here on poor Aksel's blog! *laughs*
27. Jul 19:26 - christiane said:
i would have never dare thought anything different there!

i m actually preparing stuff for selling a niiiice building ground tomorrow ;) yep, still in the office.

and yes, i do have some private life also...
27. Jul 19:18 - Longstockings said:
For the knowledge of everyone, I'm actually getting some chores done at the same time.

As for Jamie Oliver, yeah, he thinks he's the coolest thing since sliced bread and everyone knows that's me, not him. *laughs* No no, I just don't like his style. Then again, there are very few British things I enjoy, so...

And I'm not sure if my cupcakes (no, that's NOT an euphemism for anything naughty!) can survive this act of betrayal. I better eat them before they find out.
27. Jul 19:13 - christiane said:
peeew, getting tired. old women....
sometimes i wish monday would be an international officially accepted part of the past sunday to mentally recover from the lazyness of the weekend and properly prepare yourself to the hard upcoming 4 days left of the workweek.
27. Jul 19:12 - christiane said:
ha, you re gettin very sympathic! i totally agree, in the beginning i kinda watched his stuff on tv sometimes, but by now i became some kind of "in your face too much" you know?

little cupcake making and stuffing urself with taccos and stuff is much more sympathic. yep.
27. Jul 19:11 - Longstockings said:
I wouldn't know. I've never really paid that much attention to him. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for flagrant displays of nudity, just maybe not in the kitchen, you know?
27. Jul 19:08 - christiane said:
do we look bored and hopelessly selfentertaining or what!?

hm, should stop the chocolate biscuits i guess. ( i m cheatin on your cupcakes, sorry!!)
27. Jul 19:05 - christiane said:
ah shit, that' s hard now.

what would Jamie Oliver say to your cupcakes?
27. Jul 18:54 - Longstockings said:
Yeah... But, Aksel knows the secret word to make me shut up, so... until then I'm just having fun.

Oh, that's nothing! The United Nations declared my singing a violation against human rights.
27. Jul 18:49 - christiane said:
tru. it s about balabala and gaga mushrooms by now.

hey, women are famous for their multitasking qualities ;) only wish i could write as fast as my brain goes. no, hold on - amnesty international would probably accuse me of torturing other innocent blog readers. hm.
27. Jul 18:45 - Longstockings said:
Now that's some serious multitasking you're planning there. Good thing you're a woman!

And in all honesty, I think we passed the balabala like 30 comments ago...
27. Jul 18:35 - christiane said:
jesus, almost fell of me chair laughing! hahahah

he probably might consider doing that soon. this blog turns out to top all the others in comments! really funny.

oh, sorry havent been that updated on the *whisper* subject. i appologize.
ok, well i'll be happy listenin to the band organising the autograph hours and posters and eatin cupcakes and teaching women how to walk on high heels whilest explainingt he perfect parking tecnique to some beginners and hovering cupcake crumbs off my clothes probably. puuuh, long sentence that was.

please Mister Svindal, give us a new subject, we re close to going balabala
27. Jul 18:30 - Longstockings said:
*cracks up completely*

Yeah, that COULD be understood the wrong way... And I though we weren't supposed to mention spandex during the summer. *whispers* I'll send you the drafts I have for the performance outfits.

I think Aksel's taken that pretty little Bugatti of his and driven it off some Monaco cliff after he saw what we've done to his blog...
27. Jul 18:25 - christiane said:
sh.., that sounds very wrong and brings up totally warong ideas i never wanted to come up. ooooii
27. Jul 18:24 - christiane said:
yeeah great idea! and we all wear spandex suits haha!!!
27. Jul 18:18 - Longstockings said:
Food fight!!! *uncontrollable laughter*

A., that's a brilliant idea! Maybe the band could even make a impromptu performance at the wedding, kind of like the time way back when my cheerleading squad performed at this wedding of people none of us knew. We were there, the wedding was there, we performed. With the groom. Well, first we stole the groom (it's a traditional wedding thing), took him to the local pub, taught him some moves and then returned him to the wedding but made him perform with us first. The bride was laughing so hard she was in tears. I still don't know whose wedding that was...
27. Jul 17:31 - christiane said:
thanks longstockings ;) i agree.

Mister, we need new food to chew on!!!!! haha, this here is close to turning into some sex and the city thing or so, just talks about recipes and high heels and an ex boyfriend's wedding and monaco.. and stuff *LOL*
27. Jul 17:14 - A. said:
Winter fairy, too funny, that sounds like a plan! hell yeah we win the cupcake battle! (truth is, I really am happy for the wedding and it's all like totally in a past so I am more than fine with it)

we could really combine it with the start of the tour of the skiers' imaginary Rockband that Aksel sings in (the one mentioned in some erlier blog entry), with all the management on board ;-P I am also shouting to Kjetil Jansrud here: dude, your comment about whisky bottles provoked the whole band conversation, you have to go on the tour, obviously!
27. Jul 15:55 - winter fairy said:
@ Kristin h: I drive, Aksel next to me, behind (if ever possible to squeeze them) Longstockings and A. and we are all going to crash the wedding of A' s ex-boyfriend, instead of roses and rice we will throw cupcakes.......yeah we win ;)
27. Jul 15:33 - kristin h said:
mmmm.. I would love to try to drive that car.. or at least sit next to you when you drive!! ;o)
27. Jul 15:01 - Longstockings said:
Aksel, hun, you might want to indulge us with a new blog entry before we start exchanging cupcake recipes.
27. Jul 14:03 - christiane said:
@A haha , well if you are your own boss that is of course something different. well, hopefully you'll continue your breaks here! ;) i am on facebook already, only got there a few days ago to be honest, bit slow with things like that, but is fun!! and i'm worried Aksel could block the blog for us haha!!!

have to go too. appointments to do. so off i am with high hells too, phone ion one hand, food in the other looking cool haha. city traffic, hmmmpf, dont like that. the others are always too slow for me, have to speed thru them somehow.
hm, i reckon i should never ever have a car with too much power haha!!!

have fun at the wedding anyway! check out the best men ;)
27. Jul 13:57 - A. said:
oh, I am actually working (ok, I do not believe in multitasking anymore), it's just my boss is me and I ordered myself some "switching off" time - I've got some cases to solve and needed a break, I guess it should be over now;-)
to sum things up:
-actually this falling down at the wedding thing would be a funny story to tell, I love funny stories
- yeah, we should have a chat or something, have to figure out how to do this facebook thing, maybe?
- cars - one of my "to do once in life" things is to drive across states in old ford mustang, that would be too cool (or should I say: sweet?) ;-)
- yeah, the problem with MOnaco is this weak winter factor, it could be a summer residence only, though.

Ok, I am really going now, putting my high heels on, with a cupcake in one hand and "I'll rent a Bugatti for one day" sign in the other, see ya!
27. Jul 13:41 - Longstockings said:
@A. Yup. Freakonomics, by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner. They even have a blog: http://freakonomics.blogs.nytimes.com/
for when you really get into economics. *laughs*

But I'm like you, always looking for the logic behind things. Thus my love of game theory.

Are you planning for relocation? I'm so in. No wait! There's no hockey in Monaco. I cannot survive without hockey. I'll have to think of this for a while...
27. Jul 13:41 - christiane said:
@A - man, i m workin on the monaco estate thing haha!! no, i am happy where i am, it is mental what is going on in places like Monaco when it comes to homes and real estate. but you never know, i am a very ambitious one, i ll invite you all to my place there then one day haha!
27. Jul 13:39 - christiane said:
what was the topic???
oh yes, the cars. sorry. you started mentioning food!!!!!!! now my brains on holidays.

i agree on the food thing though, i am the same. cook for me or with me and i am super happy. i dont mind flowers though :)


ok, cars- ah, let me see. what are you drinving longstockings?
i actually would like to get into an Audi R8 and hunt it across a car race track. that s a sexy thing to do. hehe
27. Jul 13:36 - A. said:
Freakonomics, you say , Stockings? I'll check that, economy seemes so logical to me somehow, and I love logical things (nerdy nerd) , just never got into economy so much....

real estate, Christiane, great: what about a Monaco estate, with acess to Bugattis, nice view and big kitchen (cupcakes factory)?

27. Jul 13:35 - christiane said:
@A haha! yeah, just wanted to say the same actually. we guys should meet on facebook or so haha. AND it looks like none of us is working! already said, have to hide the screen from my boss haha. naaa, of course i am a very disciplined and good worker and would never let this interupt my duties in my job. yep. really now. no, honestly!!!

dont worry about fallin. only the ones who fall in elegance and then stand up in pride stay cool - that s what i always do anyway when i get into an embarassing situation. it is all about the ability to be laughing about yourself sometimes, people love you for that.
27. Jul 13:32 - Longstockings said:
Raspberries it is...

Ah, food. I adore food. Forget flowers and jewellery and serenades under my balcony (especially since I live on the 8th floor); feed me and I'll love you forever.

As for economics, one of my favourite things about it is that it's so varied and applicable. Real estate economics is very different from, say, competition economics or international trade analysis or ... Personally, my specialty is game theory and economics of sport. Loads and loads of fun!

Oh, and A. A good tip for getting used to heels: go grocery shopping with them. The supermarket is a perfect practice place. :D Or wear them to clean the house. Unless they're suede. You can NOT get a stain out of suede.

Should we get back on topic, by the way?
27. Jul 13:30 - A. said:
yeah, I was afraid the high heels would be mandatory....practice makes champs, so I'll work on that....but I certainly hate being a centre of attention, so my concern is: what if I fall down wearing those high heels, just in front of everyone? LOL (and no, I don;t want, to outshine a bride, and it's not like the guy is unliked, and it's all an old story in the past etc, it's just a stupid ambition thing, damn)

anyway, good, there's no chatroom here, I'd spend so much time writing with you guys, it's so funny
27. Jul 13:25 - christiane said:
i meant "real estate" of course, not "reals estate". sh.. happens when you want to write as fast as you think. have to work on that.
27. Jul 13:22 - christiane said:
raspberries!!!!!
them three things i can definitely do pretty good - drive and park and repair
- enjoy food (always hungry really)
- and talk. usually too fast and too much haha


economics is surely an interesting thing, i have no doubt about that, it is just, that i dont spend too much time with it, that's all. not meaning to be mean or so!!

i'm in the reals estate so i have a touch of it all anyway in a way. only a touch though. i have respect for the people working in it, i d be lost.
27. Jul 13:15 - Longstockings said:
@A. I'm afraid high heels are mandatory to kinda ex-boyfriends wedding. Handsome date would be good too. And showing up in a Bugatti never hurt anyone. At least I don't think so. Maybe it did, at least it would, the way I park cars. (I'm an excellent driver, it's the parking I have problems with. Probably because I'm small, and rarely see out of the car properly.)

@Christiane: I'm weird, I actually like economics. In my opinion everyone who doesn't like it should read Freakonomics, it's great!

I was thinking raspberry with white chocolate frosting, or maybe chocolate with vanilla frosting. Or my special recipe with gingerbread cookies... Hmmm... troubled, I am... By the way, you can say 'monkey wrench' while eating a cupcake? Won't you get crumbs everywhere?
27. Jul 13:11 - christiane said:
@A - high heels are just a matter of practise really. i feel super comfortable in them, i can even run in most of them. which i hardly have to, cause i drive like a lunatic and am always in time haha

ex - boyfriends wedding? well, then you should definitely wear super sexy high heels and get a gorgious guy to come with you ( pay one if you have to!!!!!!!!!!!! haha), rent a super car and impress everyone.

that only counts for if he is a not so much liked - ex - boyfriend of course!!!!! women on a wedding must never look better than the bride.
27. Jul 13:06 - christiane said:
nope, no special wish - just loooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaads :)

u u u economics phenomena - hm, not my favorite interest i have to admit. but that's cool, i ll teach you all about a good Audi engine ( i drive one, so i have to be stickin to that to start with hehe) and in reverse i say "monkey wrench" for about ten times the wrong way round - whilest eatin a cupcake
27. Jul 13:04 - A. said:
LOL Christiane, it's so cool you know so much about cars, rockin' You can park any car wearing high heels? I am impressed ;-)
High heels don;t like me, I guess, I mean I can sit while wearing them, but fast walking is really beyond my comfort zone...;-) Now I really have to work on that, I have to go to my kinda ex-boyfriend's wedding, I cannot not wear high-heels, right? It would be also preferable to be driven there in Bugatti, but I don;t think you can rent one here...LOL
27. Jul 13:00 - Longstockings said:
@winter fairy: thank you! I'd reply properly, but I just got tangled up in my cape and tights.

@A.: "entertaining chat"? Is that what the kids call it these days? *mischievous grin* Sorry Aksel!! The joke was there, it had to be made by someone! Here, have a cupcake.

And you have a solid point with the Louboutins. Yellow's just such a happy color, it would really make morning slightly more tolerable...

@Christiane: *cracks up* Glad to hear you weren't locked up in the garage as a kid... And I understand the desire to know the workings of things. For me it's the same for other things, mechanics has never been my thing. But give me an economics phenomena and I'm drawing graphs and coming up with equations faster than you can say 'monkey wrench'.

I might have to go and bake cupcakes now... Any wishes?
27. Jul 12:41 - christiane said:
@longstockings cupcakes

i am hungry
27. Jul 12:39 - christiane said:
yep. any man would admit - a sexy car looks much more sexy with a sexy woman getting out of it. ;)

Only i think, what makes it really sexy in my opinion is when you can park the car in 5 seconds into the tiniest parking space as a girl rrrrrooaaa haha

and about the technical theme: i LOVE seeing, understanding and knowing how machines work. but hey, i am a nerd really when it comes to cars. I grew up in my dad's garage ( no no no dont misunderstand - we had a house and everything and i wasnt locked up or so!!!!!!!!! ), we used to repair cars together and he taught me so much. So for a woman i know abnormally much about cars. and i love feeling the actual machine working, the smell of oil and the power because i understand what is behind it. AND i can park every bloody car into any parking space haha



in high heels ;)
27. Jul 12:39 - A. said:
ha, Longstockings, I was not the one to say the word "challenge" here;-P I was rather picturing Aksel having an entertaining chat with you and eating cupcakes while driving, taking photos to out here on the blog at the same time, what would definitely affect the speed of driving....

About the Mini Cooper - I'd definitely go with red, if I were you, red's the best....besides it would look good with those Christian Louboutin's high heel stilettos of yours, right?
27. Jul 12:39 - winter fairy said:
well I am new on the blog, first I took time to read all the comments from the past and honestly Longstockings I just love your humor and your comments.....you must be a super wonder woman doing so many things at once...hahahaha
and A. who is not Aksel I agree with you with the point of curiosity: I am a woman but I love high tech as much as I love stilettos or make up or nice clothes.....and why not? it is not a question of man or woman.... and your point about the power and control Longstockings is right as well , it is just as Aksel says about the power:
power is nothing without control. You can have all the power in the world, but it?s not going to get you anywhere unless you know how to use it. Good point for each and evry field of life......Regards to you all ;)
27. Jul 12:07 - Longstockings said:
@A. Well, why not? I love making cupcakes, and my secret recipe results in nothing less than the Bugattis of cupcakes, so it seemed fitting. I love cupcakes. And saying 'cupcake', apparently.

You? Passing US by? Ha! Aksel, I feel a challenge coming on... A.'s questioning your driving. I told you you should let me drive! (I need to stop drinking coffee now...)

re: curiosity about technological miracles. No, I don't think it's that, at least for me. It's about speed and power. And complete control over it. *grins* Yup, that's it. Now, of course, this is from a girl who cannot decide between a red or yellow Mini Cooper...

@Christiane: while in pretty heels, too! :D
27. Jul 11:52 - A. (not Aksel once again, still considering using my full name but it's too long to write here everytime;-) said:
LOL, cupcakes in Bugatti, Longstockings? Seriously? Please make more so you could throw me some through the window when I'll be passing you guys by on the Autobahn ;-P

About this "car girl" thing - I think it's just a matter of how curious person someone is - I mean, no matter how interested someone is in certain areas, there are some undoubtful miracles of technology that you just wanna see...like a million euros baby Bugatti, right? ;-P
27. Jul 11:44 - Basic B. said:
Great car... mmmmh....
27. Jul 11:40 - christiane said:
thanks, come on, i mean, we woman really rule the world haha.
27. Jul 11:33 - Longstockings said:
So... Details, Aksel! What was it like to drive the Bugatti? Some of us have to live shamelessly through your experiences here...

Also... "sickest super sports car"? "sweet" shorts? I like your vocabulary. :) Where do you get that? What are your influences? (I know every time I read Wilde I speak all funny and old, so...)

@Christiane: yup, noticed that too. That was... sweet? hahaha.
27. Jul 09:45 - christiane said:
YESSSSSS!!!! thumbs up for adding the "car - GIRL". Hehe
26. Jul 23:53 - Longstockings said:
*continues to glare at Aksel*

Want to hear about my weekend in return? After work on Saturday I arranged for the pick up of some furniture, came home, did two loads of laundry and packed about 200 books in boxes. Today I ironed those two loads of now dry laundry, packed some more, went to the grocery store, payed some bills and made a list of errands to run regarding the move. The only high light was when a girldfriend stopped by for some magic pancakes and girly gossip for few hours. Oh! And I washed the bathroom floor! How cool was that?!

Want to swap? I mean, ironing, man... Beats driving a Bugatti any day, twice on Sundays. Right?

*still glaring at Aksel*
Seriously, that must have been undescribably amazing!! You should have driven that baby to Germany, rip it out on the Autobahn... No, on second thought, you shouldn't have. You should have picked me up first, THEN driven to Germany. *looks sweet and angelic* I would've brought cupcakes!
26. Jul 22:43 - winter fairy said:
one of the things that many guys around the globe dream about - UR one lucky guy A. - you know that don't U.....
wouldn't mind driving it myself down I95 on the way to Vegas..........
26. Jul 21:18 - A. said:
Geeez, crazy, it can go like 400 km/h I guess...you drove this black and red version? looks cool!
seems like you had a fun weekend ...

Oh, and I remember reading that this summer is supposed to be boring, hmmm, I wonder what not-boring summer looks like: space flight, everest, jumping from niagara falls? ;-)

Not many of those in the world...
