Peace, Love, and Lutefisk: Adventures i Norge

It has been the spring of costume parties here in Tromsø. First came the Carnival party in which I dressed up in the overly abstract "message in a bottle" and had people write messages on my white shirt while I had plastic as the bottle and algae in my cork. Ladybugs, Disney characters, Indonesian ski champions, and rappers filled the room showing how giving an international group a theme can lead to a wide variety of interpretations.

Last weekend was one of the more creative costume parties: the K party! Everyone was supposed to come dressed as something beginning with a K, which is infinitely easier in Norwegian than English...None-the-less, I was able to think of a creative and quite frightening rendition of Kermit the Frog! I looked more like Igor from (clock), Frankenstein, but the green tights were appreciated, or at least noticed by all. We also had some other great costumes like a kiwi, a kaptein (captain), a kot kristus (horny Jesus), ei klokke (clock), kinesisk kvinne (chinese woman), and kirurger (surgeons).


In addition to the costumes, I decided it's also time to give the old blog a face lift. Keep checking back for new colors and designs as I find the perfect layout for the spring cleaning of peace, love, and lutefisk. In the meantime, what should I wear on Friday for the bad taste party? It's just, oh so difficult for me to dress in bad taste.
