harald harfagre



i'm drinking a lot of coke tonight. i don't know why . i've been trying to come up with a project for my scadinavian lit class, and i thought i might use my dala horse...oh but it's cheating i know and i want to do something new anyways.


in addition, i've been looking over the geaneology stuff grandpa gave to me (and in those days i think ididn't appreciate it enough) and of course, I remember it all had to do with a man named Herlog Hudfat (how odd of a name) and a norwegian king. now reading it all over again, i think i had though Herlog was the scandinavian king- but they seem to be to different people. infact, for the pleasure of all reading, i could type out a list of how my family descends from Harald-fine hair, the first king to unite norway in the 9th century. but that would take many pages, and a lot of my time, but it's good enough for me to know that the documentation is all sitting right next to me and that i am, in fact, royalty.


and, i just finished my AH reading....a particular one by jo anna issak which talks about mothers of invention, and how many women artists today are honoring their mothers by doing geneaological research. funny timing.


P.s. here' s a picture of the yellow curry i consumed last saturday. doesn't it make you want some?
