From Osama to Obama - summing up the double 0'sIt's not easy summing up a decade in a few lines, but here's my try now when we are nearing the end of the double zero (or 00) years. It's simply a word/name drop with a few comments attached:
- Osama - the ogre behind the 9/11 tragedy of 2001
- YK2 - the millennium bug which was to be the end of the computerized word. What an anti climax, nothing did happen. Or perhaps it's still lurking
- A Tsunami in East Asia killed thousands from all over the world and drowned Thailand, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and a few other countries
- Lords of the ring was turned into film at last
- Mamma Mia was the super musical which swept the world like a wild fire and became a film in 2008.
- The Da Vinci Code was the book to read during the decade. But I liked Angels and Demons better…
- Global Warming became the scare of the decade. Together with Terrorists
- The Eurovision Song Contest became really really big - almost like the Olympics. More glitter, glamour, bling-bling, smoke, laser and skin. But it is still failing to deliver enduring stars.
- Idol, World Wrestling and similar stuff took over our TV sets. And the good old soap is dying. Or can we hope for a revival next decade?
- Downloads and Torrents was said to kill the music. But it's more vital than ever it seems.
- Dr Who made a comeback on the TV screens
- Superhero Movies became bigger than ever
- Steampunk became the new Sci-Fi
- The EuropeanUnion just grows bigger and bigger. Perhaps the only empire ever in mankinds' history which have expanding without warfare.
- Ban on smoking in restaurants and bar was spreading all over the world, and there are few countries these days which aren't in any way affected
- GI became the metod to diet. And as with all diets it worked on some people (including me) and on others not.
- This became the decade of The Cell Phone and the MP3 player
- Obama became the first coloured leader of the US and everybody was expecting a blend between Superman and Jesus. And when he wasn't but an ordinary guy they got angered. Well suuurprice, jerks
And we forgot about AIDS, Bruce Springsteen, Classic detectives, Scooters, Cop movies, Shakespeare, Agatha Christie, Donna Summer, Jules Verne, good old boardgames, Dire Straits, Confusius, Xena, Nostradamus, The Chinese occupation of Tibet, Sending snail mail and making long drinks
Medusa is backYes, Medusa is returning - because you wanted her to. Or at least most of you
You'll get to know what happens after she visited the famous doc and you'll encounter all kind of original and hopefully mesmerizing persons along the way. And in the end there'll be a little surprise as a special thank you to all my watchers, friends and random passers-by on this digital walk of life. So stay tuned!
Secret MessagesI guess you've all suspected it. That there's a secret discussion going on around the world. A plan of a global coup d'état perhaps. Or a strange cult involving elves and aliens? Who knows? And they have strange and secret ways of communicating. But sometimes they do reweal themselves, mostly by accident. Using other's people's message centres as communication cells isn't that smart, even if they move around so fast that others might just catch bits and pieces of their conversations. Like this one for instance.
