Cannon Falls Beacon

A newspaper article, to my surprise, has been published in the CF Beacon about my blog entitled "Lefse Søndag." In this article, the author provides a quote: "Nobody eats lutifisk in Norway any more." I, despite theories developed from the way this is written, most definitely did not say this. This makes me wonder where this information came from. It also makes me wonder, if no one eats lutifisk in Norway any more, then what was it that I and 4.5 million other people ate for dinner last night?

MOVED IN

I was ALWAYS freezing because my family insisted I keep the temp at 15 at night and 17 during the day. But I always turned it up to 20 to prevent hypothermia.


I moved in with my new family last Tuesday, and I LOVE it here. I'm a lot more comfortable here than i was at my last house. My coffee cup is always full, and there's always music playing, and it's fantastic. Christmas with the Stongstad family is coming up, so I'll get to meet some of their family members. Look for a blog update after Christmas and, yes, pictures.

Coloring at school....

Let's overlook the fact that EVERYONE has taken to calling my friend Malipo "Flav" as I have, despite the fact that they have no idea who Flava Flav is, and that my friends do The Caitlyn and spend time with a My Little Pony coloring book instead of paying attention in class. What I find more amazing is that my friends are actually starting to say, honestly, "What it do?" Not to mention as much as being around so much Norwegian language affects my English, I caught my friend Oddy talking to a lunch lady in English yesterday. And, despite their protests, I think they secretly like it when I sing rap songs to them.
