who the hell is Beezus lmfao

Beatrice "Beezus" Quimby is Ramona's elder sister. IIRC, she got her nickname because Ramona had difficulty pronouncing "Beatrice" when she was little.

How is bryightnleigh supposed to be pronounced? Briton-Lee?

In Oslo for a few days, then passing through Arendal for a day.

Anything that I...

  • Must see?
  • Must do?
  • Must eat?

Any recommended souvenirs to bring back to the land of sh.itjust.works? (I've already got some ammonium chloride licorice)

Would I be able to find dried lutefisk at this time of year, or is it seasonal?
