	Jane	'too easy to drink rather than think' I'll drink to that!! Summer is the time for experience - winter is the time to write about it (oh excuses excuses!) and besides - don't think you are in a drought judging by the above bit of linguistic precipitationl)'  anyway projects sound intriguing and thanks for keeping us in your loopy loop. PS: Are you exhibiting your inhibitions within the exhibition?? Extroverts always make the best introverts... I've always found.   Posted by Jane on Thursday, August 13, 2009 - 9:57 AM [Reply to this]

	monica	sounds like you enjoy how everything is going right now... that's how live has to be .. wonder what we will find in this "..apparatjik wormhole.."! Right now, this project is too strange for me. But hey, you have to enjoy it. And who knows maybe I will understand or at least like it one day... Until then I will cross my fingers that the following sentence: "..that a few things are in the works - exhibitions, inhibitions, ..music, muisc, umisc....... " includes some magnef solo songs. Yesterday I saw enough falling stars to use some of them for this wish ..   Posted by monica on Thursday, August 13, 2009 - 9:57 AM [Reply to this]

	Celestial Glowing Thumbprint	I get to add the first comment? How exciting!! I don't know what to say; I've never been called a dervish before. I feel 'whirly'.  Is this poem really about a cat- or am I just punch-drunk? Well, take care, stay hydrated; Autumn will be here before ...well before the Winter. P.S. My fax is down...can you just mail me the check? P.P.S. I am currently enjoying the new mucsi very much. The only thing left to do now is hit the button that demands "SUBMIT"   Posted by Celestial Glowing Thumbprint on Thursday, August 13, 2009 - 9:57 AM [Reply to this]

I say: 10-11-12 and even more! we all know you can do it! ;-) Apart from that, it's wonderful to see you again alive and kicking! I guess Apparatijk is in order, now, isn't it? But don't forget to take some rest. BTW, you think it's too hot to think, there at you?

	Annie Ann Diaz	The album's good.  But I'm more excited about the news that a-ha will be returning to the USA in 2010.  That has to be the best news EVER, as I was much too young to see you guys last time you were here.  Just make sure you play CHICAGO!!!!!!!!!   Posted by Annie on Thursday, August 13, 2009 - 10:18 AM [Reply to this]

	Brigitte	It's always great to hear from you, Handsome. I hope you've enjoyed all the a-ha related things lately. I LOVE the new album. My favourite song is: Shadowside followed by Bandstand and Foot of the mountain. Oh, I just read that your status is single. If you are ever in need of a date, then give me a call! ;D   Posted by Brigitte on Thursday, August 13, 2009 - 10:18 AM [Reply to this]

	Laís Laís Muricy	It..s fair to say that music and twitter made me fell you were there anyway. It..s also fair that the new album has complete my 24 hours , every single day. I just hope the cat don..t use 9, but 19 lifes (what is good should last many summers - or winter at this brazilian side of the ocean); Great have you back!   Posted by Laís on Thursday, August 13, 2009 - 10:19 AM [Reply to this]

	David David Demaine	Good greetings Herr F, A most welcome missive as ever, also a pleasure to hear your dulcet tones-- or rather read them. You know what I'm talking about, even if I don't (to quote Arthur Atkinson). You see us as dervishes eh... renowned for their wild rituals you know. Speaking of which, I did try to keep the house tidy, but I had a nasty accident with the vacuum cleaner-- I got some funny looks at casualty that's for sure. I'm glad to hear that you've survived another A-ha album, for that you ought to be applauded. Here's a thought-- do radioactive cats have nine half-lives? Oof, an apparatjik wormhole? Sounds Dutch to me... reminds me of that classic Blankety Blank question Lily Savage posed: "When hands the little Dutch boy found the crack in the dyke, he put his *blank* in it". No wonder Paul O'Grady ended up having a heart-attack (he's alive and well though, I'm pleased to say). Creampuffs? Whatever floats your boat I suppose, suit you. Or should that be "ow quee-ar" (to quote Arthur Atkinson again). There does seem to be a lot of cat references from you: Is it a covert tribute to the recently departed Molly "Mrs Slocombe" Sugden? What would she say of the new A-ha album I wonder: "I sit at home every night with my cat, listening to Foot Of The Mountain. My pussy just loves Magne's vocals". Well whatever comes up for you in the near future, I look foward to hearing what you have in store-- all the best with it all. Some people live life in the fast lane with champagne, I pic-nic by the loose chippings of the A1. So it goes. Ha det godt og med hilsen, David ["Where's my washboard? Have you seen it?" emoticon]   Posted by David on Thursday, August 13, 2009 - 10:19 AM [Reply to this]

	David David Demaine	^ That should be "Hans the Dutch boy". Apologies to any Dutch folk who may have been reading my drivel.   Posted by David on Friday, August 14, 2009 - 11:28 AM [Reply to this]

	Claraa.! Magne's worst fan! ;D	but alphabet street is really near the "poetrytrytry" one. just drop there, will you? you know, or I'll have to consider this some kind of private poem. :P (yeah, this is how much I miss new words to think through) sorry I wasn't one of the people who kept your space pretty nice and clean, since I really do hate the cleaning thing.. it makes me sneez.. BAWUHAUHAUHAUHAUHUAHUAHUAH about the apparatjik thing, may I be honest? it's good, but I kind of miss Kjetil Bjerkestrand.. couldn't you call him to some apparatjik reunions? *la-la-laa* so, now I'm going now... to alphabutt street. ..   Posted by Claraa.!

	ROZ ( Rebellious Optimistic Zany)	..Hey ..MAGN..ificent cool cat!! No worries with keeping you house clean and in order-it's been a real pleasure as I'm rather house proud!!!.. Anyway hope you're not working too hard Magne, and glad you've grabbed some time in between the a-ha madness to let us know that you're diddling ok and fill us in on the latest. Am So-oo looking forward to hearing more music (November can't come soon enough!!..)and fingers crossed too of seeing some of your exhibitions... In the meantime hope you're enjoying the summer,especially the wine and that it's helping with your creative juices! (a well deserved family holiday soon maybe?)Just relax,feet up, chill and before you know it a whole flood of inspiration might take you by surprise when you least expect it-though hopefully not in the form of double vision!!.... Remember too Magne that all good things come to those that wait, and boy are you worth waiting for, so no pressure with the poetry, just take your time!!!!.. Nuff rabbitting on, but just wanted to say Welcome back ..MAGN..ifient-you have been sorely missed, and alphabet street sounds like a cool place to be, so much so that I might take a trip down there one day myself, though will be a fair while with the money I have to save up for a-ha Oslo madness this Novemeber!!..

	Caterina	..Welcome back!.... *purrs*....Cats... .. ..I love those furry creatures. They’re the ones in control. Not us – fact... ..They can make us do anything they want without us being annoyed at all LOL!.. ..No other animal is as intriguing and magical and clever and has endless resources as a cat so no doubt you have more than 9 lives :-).. ..Is the 9 lives the reason for the 09.09.09.?.. ..Hope the cat will soon get out of the bag because this other Cat is curious and one of her lives is at risk because of her curiosity….... ..   Posted by Caterina on Thursday, August 13, 2009 - 10:21 AM [Reply to this]

	Caterina	Yep 9 is the bitter number :-( But you as an individual luckily still have a lot to give. So there's still a lot to look forward to for us fans.

	Amida	I've been away from myspace for so long & how I miss your blogs.  You sound like you're relieved, after finishing work with a-ha.  I know, after a while it does get old & you must move on.

	Pandora	Well, in the words of Stoke's finest (that's Robbie Williams, not Stoke City btw..), "I'm contemplating thinking about thinking. It's overrated, just get another drink in." Those lyrics just popped into my mind when I read your post. I'm off the sauce myself... too much other stuff to do, like read this blog of course! I'm glad you're back here, Mags. Always fun to hear from you and it's great to know there is so much in the magne f pipeline. I'm wondering what the "inhibitions" are, though! The new album is great, and I'm hoping this cat will survive this 9th attempt on its life and go on for 10 or more, myself. Otherwise more solo stuff from your good self will be just as welcome, if not more! Having done a bit of research I might well make my way into London for your next exhibition. I like to think the art world does not completely pass me by (ie I'm not a total cultural heathen and have the odd landscape from various British artists adorning my walls!) but, in general, I don't spend a lot of my time in quiet contemplation in galleries.
