Aint life grand

Nyhederne

2011-10-26T11:41:00.000-07:00

Dette er nok en lidt blandet blog. Bær over med mig. Jeg er træt. Jeg er kommet hjem fra et ganske ok tre dages seminar. Det var godt at være ude og bedst at være hjemme igen. Jeg savner min kæreste, mine venner, min familie og en uges ferie uden de store planer. Suk. Jeg skal snart i seng. Det bliver tidligt, fordi det er tiltrængt

I dag har været en dårlig dag at læse nyheder i. Det har gjort mig trist, at der er kidnappet nødhjælpsarbejdere igen - det er så lavt. Og det gør mig trist, at dsb kontrollører har holdt en psykisk syg mand nede med fysisk magt i otte minutter. De har ikke ret til det. Og det gør mig egentlig trist, at jeg er bange for at forsamle mig med andre i protester og demonstrationer (Ikke mod dsb kontrollørerne, mind you). Jeg er træt af at være sofa-facebook-kæmper-ish.

Nå, men da jeg kom hjem sent i eftermiddag og tændte for radioen, da jeg skulle lave mad, startede denne sang, som jeg nu dele med jer.

Life is life

2011-09-19T12:27:00.000-07:00

and life is good!I am still having a blastI have always loved life with it ups and downs and sometimes I would feel as something would miss in my life. A hobby? A pet? A Boyfriend? A journey? But seriously. Meeting Søren has brought much more happiness and love into my life than I could ever imagine. Sigh. It is good. It's more than good. It's grand. I got myself a keeper. Alt er godt.

Life is good

2011-08-22T12:40:00.000-07:00

I am still very happy and very in love.
Life is good.

Kæreste/Boyfriend

2011-08-04T05:38:00.000-07:00

Oh! I guess I could mention that I am in a relationship now. My boyfriend is Søren. He is almost 29 years old, vegan and cool as fuck. I am serious guys, this guy is amazing. I am crazy about him and I feel very very lucky to have met him. He is just incredible and I miss him a lot now that he's on the festival. Sigh. I can't wait to see him again. I miss him.

Åh! Jeg kan vel egentlig godt nævne, at jeg har fået kæreste på. Min kæreste er Søren. Han er næsten 29 år gammel, veganer og heeelt vildt sej. Jeg mener det, denne her fyr er fantastisk. Jeg er vild med ham og føler mig meget, meget heldig over at have møt ham. Han er helt utrolig og jeg savner ham meget, hvor han er på festival. Suk. Jeg kan ikke vente med at se ham igen. Jeg savner ham.

En liter mælk

2011-06-25T11:35:00.000-07:00

Jeg tvivler på det fornuftige i at drikke en liter mælk inden sengetid.

On another note, 1. del af ferien er nu brugt, overstået, gået og kommer aldrig tilbage. Der er 2 dele tilbage.

Det gør ondt

2011-06-17T15:03:00.000-07:00

Det gør ondt, når kærligheden forsvinder.
Hvordan kan hun sige, hun ikke elsker mig mere?
Jeg har virkelig såret hende, når hun sådan holder op med at elske.
Hun siger, vi stadig er venner. Men jeg tror, det er fortabt.

Fortabt, fordømt, forlist.

Farvel ven og farvel kærlighed.
Jeg elsker dig.

Beware of the dog!

Jeg har begyndende PMS og IKKE NOGET CHOKOLADE. Det er en dåååårlig kombination.

Proud owner

2011-01-24T08:55:00.001-08:00

In English below:
Jeg har simpelthen fået mig en spritny og meget dejlig og dyr cykel. Det er den dyreste cykel jeg nogensinde har købt. Og det kunne kun lade sig gøre fordi mine forældre gav flotte tilskud i julegave og forhåbentligt gør det samme igen til min fødselsdag i februar.

Mit valg faldt på en Batavus Cambridge Deluxe til den nette pris af 5900 kr inklusive en stor cykelkurv og en kædelås. Og selvfølgelig cykelpumpe, cykellygter og almindelig lås. Jeg købte den hos copenhagen bikeshop på Jagtvej og de har 10 års vinterservice, hvor man hver vinter kan få den til vintereftersyn og strammet op mv.

Jeg cyklede hjem og det gik lynende hurtigt.

I am now the proud owner of a brand new and very lovely and expensive bicycle. It is the most expensive bicycle I have ever bought. And it was only possible because of my parents generous X-mas gifts and hopefully generous birthday presents when I have my birthday in February.

I chose a Batavus Cambridge Deluxe at the price of 5.900 kr including a large basket and chain lock. Of corse also a pump, lights and an ordinary lock. I bought it at Copenhagen bikeshop and they have 10 years of winter service. Every winter they will check it and tighten it.

I rode it home at was fast as a flash.

Nytår/New year

2011-01-15T22:41:00.000-08:00

Hi guys
So this is a new years blog. I am doing well, when seeing the big picture.
The small picture is more annoying. I got sick with the flu on the 28th of december. Had to cancel new years eve and was in bed by 10 pm med feber. I got well around the 7th of January. And Thursday night (the 13th) I got sick with a sinus infection. It is so annoying. There is like snot EVERY where. So I look forward to get well soon.

Hej folkens
Så dette er en nytårsblog. Jeg har det godt, når man ser på det store billede.
Det lille billede er mere irriterende. Jeg blev syg med influenza d. 28. december. Blev nødt til at aflyse nytårsaften og var i seng kl. 10 med feber. Jeg blev rask omkring d. 7. januar. Og torsdag nat (den 13.) blev jeg syg med bihulebetændelse. Det er ret så irriterende. Der er snot over ALT. Så jeg ser frem til at få det bedre. sy

iWeekend

2010-11-14T11:22:00.000-08:00

My weekend was nice!
Friday after work I met with Stefano and we rocked Märkbar (a nice bar on Vesterbro in Copenhagen) and then went to Henrik and Helenas party (also on Vestebro) and it was a very nice party.

Saturday I was very hungover at first but went to my dad's place and has such a nice day with him. First we had the take away from the indian place at the central station and then we chilled for a while. We had a half an hour nap and then we saw Formel 1 on the telly. Then his friend Arne came over and we saw a handball match. Then daddy made dinner and I left after eating. It was very nice and relaxing.

Today I went to my friend Nuax and painted together with Helena. I was actually feeling a bit down but as always I felt really good afterwards. I swear to god it is a great therapy.

iLondon

2010-11-09T11:36:00.000-08:00

Well, there has been a lot of travelling. 2½ days to a seminar at the sweet wee Danish city Sønderborg. And then a week in London. And soon I'll be heading to Croatia and Slovenia for a little while. Mostly work but I am sure I will enjoy it.
Work is busy these days. Which is good. Water on the mill, you know?

So London was really an experience.
I think I have been there before, maybe even twice, but I can only remember going to Camden market... And someone took a picture of me and the guy I was seeing at that time because we had that goth/punk look. But that's about it.It was around 8 or 10 years ago.

This time I obviously remember way better. Because I came home like three days ago.

Let me try to recap:
I arrived to London Monday evening. My wonderful former flatmate and close friend Eki picked me up around 8 pm in Heathrow airport. I was a bit excited about seeing Eki because we had not seen for about 7 years. But it was soooo good to see him.

I had brought a little Jack Daniels (always be prepared, that's my motto) and we shared that with coke on the tube. We got off after some stops to smoke a cigarette and... buy more jack daniels, hehe. So Eki bought a small bottle. Which we shared. then we got off at Russel Square to find my hotel. Which we couldn't. God, we walked and walked and called them and still couldn't find it.
When we finally found it we ended up having a spontaneous reunion party on the hotel room floor, because there wasn't any chairs (it was a small B&B-ish hotel). We talked and talked like there hadn't been a day since we last met. Now that is a good friendship.

Eki ended up sleeping there... the London tube doesn't run at night which seems kind of weird since it is such a capital. And it wasn't fun at all. But I got up on time in the morning and went to my meetings for the day.
Afterwards I went back to the hotel for a little nap and then I went to visit Eki and I met his wonderful flatmates. I must say that Sami made quite an impact. A very, very nice and funny man.

When Eki followed me to the tube, it turned out it was too late. It was only a little after midnight, so it was quite retarded! I ended up sleeping at Ekis place. I got up in good time... but then there was a flipping tube strike! I thought I'd just take the bus. Well, so did everyone else in London, so the first two or three buses drove right by the bus stop because they were full. When a bus finally stopped then we were all like zombies trying to get in. And most of us did.

The bus snailed it way towards the city centre and had it's final stop at Hammersmith (yeah, no sleep 'till Hammersmith!!) and I ran onto the whatever tube there was. And a lady guided me to get off at Edgrawe road where I could jump on a bus. So I got off there.. but of course there was the thickest line of people EVER waiting for the bus! And there was two hours of waiting time for a taxi. So I decided to walk. And lost my way. Got back on track and made it to Hyde Park which they had closed due to a incident involving the police. I called the course place and got directed there... and arrived only 15 minutes too late for the course. Now that's what I call a miracle. It should have taken me an hour but ended up taking two and a half. Luckily I had left really early that morning.

The course was allright but a little disappointing. It finished at 12.30 and I went home for a little nap again and then Eki cam e to my place and we decided to go for dinner. We ended up walking to Soho and had a nice wee dinner at Balans. We then walked London thin doing to touristy stuff and even rode the bumper cars! It was such a laugh. Seriously, we walked and walked and I had blisters everywhere because I was wearing my nice shoes and not the walking shoes. Dumb! I have definitely learned my lesson.

Then it was home in the evening for a good nights sleep.

Thursday morning the tube was working. I had been up in good time and got off at Hyde Park Corner. I got myself a very nice latte and strolled through Hyde Park and loved it to bits. It was such a peaceful morning and quite the opposite of the morning before which was very chaotic. The course this time was very good and the whole trip worth it.

Afterwards I went home and relaxed a little bit after I had done some serious shopping! Then I decided to walk to one of the rockbars I had roughly been pointed out earlier. It should be a 30 minute walk. But I got lost again and walked in so many circles you would not believe it. I found it after an hour and a half and it turns out the little street wasn't even on my frigging map! No wonder I couldn't find it. And you know what the funny thing is? The street is called Denmark street and Eki had pointed it out to me the day before by incident. ARGH.

Well I went into the rockbar and felt a little alone and very tired. I guess I was not so outspoken as normally because I didn't manage to fall into conversation with anybody and the bartenders didn't really make me feel welcome. I got stubborn and stayed for a few pints before I left.

I was a bit down and insecure Friday. I went to British museum which was nice.en went to the restaurant "Vegetarians Paradise" and had a splendid lunch. On the way back to the hotel I stopped and looked at the price sign of a beauty parlor. A small chinese woman pulled me in, haha, and before I knew it I was receiving 45 minutes massage and 30 minutes reflexology. The price was only £60 so it was a fair price, even though I hadn't calculated it in my budget. Ha, like I had a budget.

Then I went home, bought a bottle of chilled white wine, loads of UK gossip magazines, three books and chocolate! I went to my hotel and had a relaxing afternoon. In the evening I thought that I would try to go out again and defy last evenings boring night out alone. So I went to the local pub but again I sat alone and didn't get into conversation with anybody. I guess I kind of waited for others to contact me. So I texted one of those I had met on Tuesday and he had time for a cup of coffee in between scientific practices! So we did and bless him. It was so nice to meet another Dane to compare thoughts on London. I then walked back to my hotel and had a nice and relaxing evening.

Saturday was my last whole day in London. I slept in and then walked to the square. I obviously got lost and it took me 45 minutes to go where it should have taken 5. But I got there and I sat and wrote postcards and saw the pigeons bathe in the fountain. It was quite nice but freezing. The weather had been pretty nice until then, but this time it was fucking cold! I went in to get a nice warm latte and then went to Vegetarians Paradise again for lunch. A nap in my hotel room and then it was time to go out again. Third time's the charm, right? So I put on my nicest clothes and the red lipstick and headed out for Camden.

First I went to Elephants Head which was a nice rockbar full of people. I again felt a little alone. But said cheers to a guy next to me who looked perplexed when I did it and shortly left, haha. Not good! Then two guys walks up next to me and one of them said "Hi how are you"... FINALLY someone spoke to me! Bless him. I laughed and told him he was the first one in London who had asked me how I was doing. So we all chatted for a couple of pints where we headed of to the metalbar Hob Goblins where I met even more interesting people, this time a couple of guys from Lithuania. And the funniest thing happened:

The Hob Goblin is quite a dark place. A guy who was wearing a black coat was by the bar desk. He then dropped a bunch of coins on the floor and bends over to pick them up. One of the Lithuanians come around and sees a dark shape that unmistakeably looks like a bar chair and he tries to sit on this poor guy who gets a shock and starts to squirm and this Lithuanian gets a shock because his chair moves!

I swear to God, I cannot remember the last time I laughed so loud. It was so flipping funny!

All in all it was a great evening and the third time WAS the charm.

Sunday was the one day where I could really use to sleep for a long time but I had to get up because checkout was at 10 am. I checked out and went to a local breakfast house for breakfast. I sat outside and enjoyed the blessing sun warming on my face. It was very nice. I was there for almost an hour

So at 11 am I headed for the tube. My plane wasn't leaving before 5 pm but I thought I might as well leave in good time + I didn't want to drag my now heavy suitcase around London. Well, good thing! Because there was obviously something wrong with the tube. Trust me, never trust the tube!

I had to get off at the next stop after Russel Square and felt really lost. I couldn't understand the directions to Heathrow that they announced on the speakers. So when I saw this man with a suitcase I asked him if he knew how to get to Heathrow. And he did! So we followed to Heathrow and what should have taken an hour took two! So thankfully I had a pleasent company on the way and it was someone who knew the directions!

I got to Heathrow at 1 pm and as previously mentioned my plane didn't leave until 5 pm. I asked the flight manager if there was room on the 2 pm flight and he sad absolute not! He said there wasn't a chance! A bit sarcastic I thanked him for his kindness and thought to myself that it was a bit quick he dismissed my request. I went to the selfservice machine and started to check in for the 5 pm flight. I guess his heart carried him away and he approached me and asked me to wait five minutes. Which I did. And you know what? I got rebooked for the last available seat on the 2 pm flight! So now I was in a hurry and made it to the plane on time and voila: I was home three hours early. Now: This is why I love SAS. Fly SAS people!

That was my trip. Have you really read all of it? :D

Amazing night

2010-10-23T04:59:00.001-07:00

Last night was an amazing night. For some reason it was amazing. I think it must definitely have been the company. It was Stefano, Marianne and Martin and myself. Oh yeah: And alcohol was also a guest :-D And music :-D

This morning I woke far to early. But I had had the happiest dream and woke up with laughter in my throat. I woke up laughing. How awesome is that? That is a good beginning to a day. Then I ate some breakfast and then I started the laundry in the laundry basement and then I went for a run. Then I continued the laundry, saw an episode of Troldspejlet and went for a nap.

Now I got up feeling a little hungry. I went to the kitchen to cook me a very simple lunch but got inspired and have now made the best curry ever!

Svits et lille eller et halvt stort løg i tern med to hvidløg i tern og masser af karry, noget spidskommen, noget kardemomme og noget gurkemeje.
Tilsæt to kartofler i mindre tern og lade dem svitse med. Så tilsætter du en lille gulerod i små tern og lader dem svitse med sagt lidt blomkålsbuketter. Tilsæt så vand til det dækker og så en lille dåse kokosmælk og en grøntsagsboullionterning, samt lidt peber og en lille teske fuld sukker. Og lidt jomfru i det grønne.
Når det koger tilsæt ris og røde linser efter behov og lad det koge op igen og så simre i 20 - 30 minutter. Jo længere jo bedre :D Når du ikke kan lade være med at spise, så tilsæt lidt frosne ærter og vent fem minutter. Og SÅ kan du spise.

Oops I realise now I wrote the recipe in Danish. Let me know if you want an English translation. The recipe is for one very hungry person or two less hungry. I will save some of it for me and Kristina tonight as a starter :-)

Life is good.

Sleeeep

2010-10-19T22:18:00.001-07:00

I finally had a good night's sleep. I swear, I haven't slept well since Friday night.
But tonight I slept well. And it felt so good waking up after a good nights sleep.

Tonight I'll get a visitor and I can't wait to see her.

I am not taking the bike to work today, which feels strange, as I'm doing gymnastics afterwards and it is soo hard :D I remember after the first time I did the gymnastics, my whole body was trembling and I had nausea and I felt like shit - but in a good way!

Copenhagen is truely wonderful at the moment. Very beautiful and very autumnly. The air yesterday evening smelt very fresh and wonderful.

So have a nice day and AUTUMN!

Blog in Danish only.
Kan ikke skrive for meget. Vil ikke skrive for lidt.
Der er masser af tanker og følelser for tiden. Lidt blandede følelser. Vil hverken føle for lidt eller for meget. Men det er lidt svært, når mine følelser er så tæt forbundet med et andet menneskes følelser og vilje.
Det er forår. Også selvom det er efterår

Aint life grand

Ouch!

2010-10-02T01:11:00.000-07:00

Ouch!
I fell last nite. Out of a window on the ground floor. My friend had set up such a nice table outside in "gården" with candles and blankets and such. We couldn't use the kitchen stairs to get down there so my friend had place a chair under the window which was around 1 ½ meter from the ground.

It went smooth when we went down there, but when I should crawl back in again.. I hesitated for just a second to long and then when I placed the weight on the chairs armrest again it tipped the balance.

So the chair rambled and I fell down and backwards! First I landed on my butt on the table and then I continued down on the seat of the bench and almost fell to the ground haha.

I was scared shitless and was shaking all over. It flippin' hurt! Haha and I thought I had broken my butt.. I have bruised my butt, my elbow, my inner thigh and my knee and a litle bit my hand. Well and my pride of course! But we laughed and laughed afterwards and it was a nice evening in nice company with nice music. For example this new band called Band of horses.

Now Troldspejlet started on the tv. So I have to go :-)

Blog

2010-09-21T22:46:00.000-07:00

Well, it's been quiet in here. I've been really good at updating my other blog but this blog here has been kind of quiet.
It has been up and down the last weeks. But the last few days I've found some kind of peace and the waves are calm.
I have been quite busy and it's almost been too much. But this week some plans have been cancelled and all of the sudden I have space. Space in my calendar and at home.

If someone wants to drop by Wednesday or Thursday or maybe Sat or Sun this week and help me re-arrange two small pieces of furniture in my livingroom, let me know :-D

The 50's party at work went awesome!

I've been to the dentist. This is the after picture

Andres sorg

2010-08-24T09:35:00.001-07:00

En ven til flere bekendte og nogle venner er død.
Det er så trist, at han er død i en alder af 41. Og det er så trist, den store sorg der er blevet tildelt mine venner at bære.
Det har virkelig sat nogle tanker i gang. Det gør mig så ondt på jeres vegne.

A friend to several acquaintences and some friends has died.
It is so sad that he died in the age of 41. And it is so sad with the burden of sorrow that now is heavy on my friends.
It was really started some things. I am so sorry for you.

Den kommende DHL

2010-08-22T11:23:00.000-07:00

Det er længe siden jeg har skrevet. Undskyld til jer, der vender trofast tilbage. Alle 10 :D

Det er nu 11 dage siden operationen og det går godt. Det ser perfekt ud, sagde de til efterkontrollen. Jeg skal til sidste planlagte efterkontrol på bagerens fødselsdag. Det er en sjov dato.

Jeg har løbet tre gange i denne uge, hvilket jeg burde være tilfreds med. Jeg gruer lidt for DHL'en på mandag. Jeg har planlagt at holde en uges løbefri inden, så jeg har helt friske ben.

Pt løber jeg kun 2,5 km, hvilket jo er super i betragtning af jeg engang kun løbe 1 minut. Men jeg synes, der er meget langt fra 2,5 til de 5 km som DHL'en er på. Hvis det nu ikke var en stafet, så ville det ikke volde mig nogle kvaler overhovedet. Men tanken om at der står nogen, og venter på mig.. og venter.... og venter... mens jeg okser af sted langsommere og langsommere og tiden sniger sig op på de 45 minutter. Og når man nærmer sig den sidste kilometer, der er den hårdeste, rammer man ikke kun muren. Men også grill-osen og tusinder af mennesker der står og glor. Jeg fucking hader DHL. Nå, jeg må hellere fokusere på det gode også: At jeg SKAL løbe og gå de 5 km. Og det dejlige sociale i det.
Skønt.

It's been a while since my last blog. Please accept my apologies to you, my returning read. All 10 of you :D

11 days have now passed since my surgery and all went well. It looks perfect, they said at the check up.

I've run three times this week and should be satisfied. I fear the company run DHL on Monday. I plan not to run for the next week in order to have totally fresh legs for the run.

At the moment I only run 2,5 km which is great compared to the old days where I was only able to run for a minute. But I think there is a very long way from 2,5 to the 5 km which is the DHL. If only it wasn't a relay, then I wouldn't worry at all. But the thought of the people waiting for me while I slog and slog and slog away on the muddy field... slower and slower and I take 45 minutes. And then I reach the last kilometer which is already the hardest bit... then I hit the wall. And not only the wall, but also the smoke from all the BBQs and a thousand people staring at me. I fucking hate DHL. So I better focus on the positive as well: At least I will be forced to do all the 5 km. And it is a great social event.
Great!

Pro operation

2010-08-13T08:19:00.000-07:00

Operationen gik bare godt. Det var rigtig rart at have Sofie ved min side og til at holde i hånd. Det var også rigtig rart at få en beroligende pille inden, haha. Jeg synes jeg blev dejlig afslappet og tænker, at jeg bør genoptage min lidt korte flirt med mediationen.

Men operationen gik som sagt godt og var hurtig overstået. De begik en fejl ved at glemme at give mig en vigtig recept til forundersøgelsen med det resultat, at jeg skulle stå i kø (heldigvis sammen med Sofie) med nyopererede øjne på et apotek på Frederiksberg og jeg havde det virkelig dårligt/sart. Jeg nævnte det for dem og de sagde, det var en fejl. Well, fuck you.

NÅ nu fik jeg det fra mit bryst og bortset fra det, gik det jo rigtig godt. Og jeg kan se. Jeg kan se lige så godt som med kontaktlinser - bare uden :D Jeg kan se, når jeg vågner om natten, hvilket jeg stadig lige skal vænne mig til (rækker stadig ud efter brillerne på natbordet, når jeg vågner om natten). Jeg kan se, når jeg står i badet. Og jeg glæder mig til at jeg kan se, når jeg er i svømmehallen. Jeg må gå i svømmehallen om 4 - 6 uger.

I dag har jeg råhygget med min ven Morten Mindcleener. Vi har drukket god kaffe og spist god æblekage på Kaffebaren på Amager. Og nu er jeg ved at lave hvidløgssuppe. Og jeg regner med at jeg skal på arbejde som ledsager i morgen. Jeg kunne godt bruge flere fridage, fordi der ikke er så mange af dem i min travle kalender, men jeg kunne også godt bruge pengene.

The surgery went well. It was really nice to have Sofie by my side and to hold my hand. At was also very nice to have a chill pill, haha. I felt quite relaxed and must begin to start the meditation again, which I briefly started some time ago.
--
brrrr one week later: Sorry for not continuing this. Everything went well!

Pre operation

2010-08-09T08:02:00.001-07:00

I dag var jeg til anden og tredje forundersøgelse på hospitalet. Begge gik planmæssigt og godt og vi går videre med operationen på onsdag. Jeg fik dryppet øjnene med pupiludvidende dråber, der sved. Det så ret vildt ud med så store pupiller. Bagefter havde jeg kvalme på grund af lysfølsomhed, men det er aftagende nu her et par timer efter. Mine pupiller er også faldet lidt i størrelsen.
Tak til Sofie for at kunne være der for mig OG lege taxachauffør.

Today I went to the second and the third examination at the hospital. Both examinations went as planned and we continue with the operation on Wednesday. They dripped my eyes with some pupil dilating eye drops. It looked pretty weird with the huge pupils. Afterwords I got nauseous due to light sensitivity but it is improving now a couple of hours later. Also my pupils have decreased a bit.
Thanks to Sofie for being able to be there for me AND be taxidriver for the afternoon

Long time no write

2010-08-08T22:31:00.000-07:00

So much for loving you long time, huh :-)
It's been busy days since I came back from the US. I feel both happy about it and tired of it. I do sincerely need a couple of days off. I will have myself one those on Friday.

And sleep. Dear me, I could do with a nights safe and sound sleep. There, I've said it. Why does one wake up all the time?

This Wednesday I will undergo a laser surgery to improve my eyesight. Wish me luck.

I feel guilty for not going out for a run this morning. I should feel satisfied that I at least did the morning gymnastics.

See you around, peeps.

Sigh

Honey, I'm home

2010-07-10T08:53:00.000-07:00

Jeg har været på ferie. Tre ugers ferie! Ferien bød primært på oplevelser og sekundært på afslapning. Det er godt at være hjemme. Det der med egen lejlighed og eget lokum er genialt. Der kommer snart en blog. Måske en billedblog. Vi skrives ved.

I've been on vacation. Three weeks of vacation! The vacation consisted primarily of events and secondary of relaxation. It is good to be home. You know, having your own apartment and loo is brilliant! I'll might post a blog about my vacation. Maybe a picture blog. Write ya later

Sweeming

2010-06-13T01:31:00.000-07:00

Jeg er tilfreds! Og er ved at komme mig over de dårlige tider på gårsdagens løbetur. Må sænke ambitionsniveauet. En af grundene til min tilfredshed er, at jeg lige er kommet hjem fra den lokale svømmehal. Jeg trodsede og besejrede mine tømmermænd med en iskold cola og 20 x 25 meter i svømmeren.
Det var første gang jeg var i den lokale og den var udmærket. Der lugtede lidt vel meget af skimmelsvamp i bruseren, hvilket var nederen. Men selv svømmebassinet var fint. Og man holdt til højre, hvilket jeg er stor fan af.
Nu har jeg sendt dem en mail og spurgt til skimmelsvampslugten og forslået en centrifuge. Og rost personalets venlighed og så'n.

I am satisfied! And starting to get over the bad time results of yesterdays run. Gotta lower my level of ambition. One of the reasons for my satisfaction is that I have just returned home from the local swimming bath. I defied and beat my hangovers with an ice cola coca and 20 x 25 meters in the swimming bath.
It is the first time I went to the local bath and it was good. It smelled a bit mouldy in the showers which blew. But the bath it self was fine. And one should swim to the right, which I am a big fan of.
Now I've sent them an e-mail and asked about the mould smell and suggested they got a spin dryer.

Run 9, nice day, cold ones

Lørdag morgen: ARGH
Jeg glemte at varme op inden løbeturen i morges. Dvs jeg gik i rask gang, men jeg glemte at lave de der øvelser, som man helst skal lave i bare fødder. Jeg gad helt ærlig ikke binde skoene op, tage dem af, tage strømperne af, lave øvelser, tage strømper på, tage sko på, binde skoene og SÅ tage ud at løbe.
Men fuck it, næste gang jeg glemmer øvelserne inden jeg tager sko på, så vil jeg tage dem af og gøre øvelserne. For min tid i morges var for dårlig. Nuvel, det kan også skyldes, at min væskebalance har været dårligere. Eller at min krop ville have haft godt af en ekstra restitutionsdag. Jeg er alligevel glad for jeg kom ud og løbe og jeg er rigtig glad for, jeg nåede ud mens der var blå himmel og solskin. Nu er alt gråt.

Mine løbetider var:
3 min gå
1½ min løb
1½ min gå
2 min løb (forværring if til tur 8)
1 min gå (forbedring if til tur 8, så vidt jeg husker)
1,2 min løb (tydelig forværring if til tur 8, 7 og 6 ;P)
1,1 min gå
1,1 min løb
5 min gå

Lørdag aften:
Totalt god dag! Min far og Jørgen kom og nu har jeg intet mindre end tre vægure og to spejle hængene PLUS en boghylde til mine kogekbøger i køkkenet . Jeg er svært tilfreds. Når jeg kommer hjem fra USA skal jeg have mig en ny sofa og en rumdeler og så skal min vægkunst op og hænge. Yes sir.

Min veninde og hendes søn kom også og det var vildt hyggeligt. På et tidspunkt kunne vi ikke finde ham og så havde han gemt sig i en vasketøjskurv :D Og nu er Morten på vej herud, så tager vi lige et par kolde på den lokale.

Saturday morning: ARGH
I forgot to do the warm up exercises and couldn’t be bothered to take off my shoes and shit to do them So I just warmed up for my run by walking for three minutes. And that sucked. Because my times this morning really sucked. So it could be the reason. It could also be that I had a low fluid balance or that I just needed a day pause extra . But I managed to get out while the sky was blue and the sun was shining. Now all is grey.

My run times were:
3 min walk
1½ min run
1½ min walk
2 min run
1 min walk
1, 2 min run
1,1 min walk
1,1 m in run
5 min walk.

Saturday evening:
Totally nice day. My dad and Jørgen came and now I’ve got nothing less but three clocks and two mirrors on my walls PLUS a book shelf for my cookbooks in the kitchen. I am very satisfied.

My friend and her son also came and it was cosy as hell. At one point we couldn’t find her son and it turned out he had hid in my laundry basked :D And now Morten is on his way and we’ll grab a few cold ones (beers, not carcasses) on the local bodega.

Løbetur 8 + 1

2010-06-10T12:30:00.000-07:00

English below:
torsdag morgen:
Tirsdag eftermiddag var jeg jo til den personlige træner, der også gav mig nogle øvelser til opvarmningsprogram til mit løb.
I morges var min første løbetur efter den personlige træning startede og den ottende efter jeg startede med at løbetrænegenerelt, derfor 8 + 1. Min personlige træner mener, jeg vil kunne løbe hurtigere og mere, hvis jeg laver de opvarmningsøvelser:

Mine tider var
3 min gå
1½ min løb
1½ min gå
3 min løb (½ minuts forbedring i forhold til sidst)
1½ min gå
2½ min løb
3 min gå

Det halve minuts forbedring kan sagtens være en del af en naturlig løbeforbedring. Jeg ved ikke hvor meget opvarmningen forbedrede denne ene gang, men det var helt sikkert behageligt at starte med at løbe efter en ordenlig opvarmning og ikke kun rask gang. Jeg vil fortsætte med det.

Torsdag aften:
Ah dette er livet. Har lavet god mad, slappet af og givet mig selv en pedicure. Jeg har nu fået de blødeste fødder i byen.
4½ arbejdsdage tilbage til ferien.

Thursday morning:
I went to the personal trainer Tuesday afternoon. He gave me some exercises to warm up before running. This morning was my first run after the personal training and the eighth after I started to run. Thus I know count it as 8 + 1. My personal trainer believe I should be able to run faster and more if I do the warm up exercises.

3 min walk
1½ min run

2010-06-06T10:22:00.000-07:00

Dette bliver en kort blog, da jeg er lidt trist i det i dag. Har heldigvis været ude i den gode sol.
This is a short blog, as I'm a bit blue today. At least I've been outside in the nice sun.

I also went running for the third time this week:
Jeg kom ud at løbe. Bonus. Mindre gode tider, havde sidestik /side stich fra første færd:
3 min gå /walk
1½ min løb (½ min mere end jeg plejer) / run (½ a min more than normally)
1½ min gå / walk
2 min løb (½ min mindre end sidste gang) / 2 min walk (½ a min less than last time)
2 min gå / walk
2½ min løb /
gå

Løbetur 5

2010-06-03T10:02:00.001-07:00

I går satte jeg to forskellige mål til løbeturen i dag og jeg nåede det hårdeste mål i. Jeg er tilfreds.
Mit mål for lørdagens løbetur er at holde nedenstående tider :-)

Yesterday I gave myself two different goals for todays run and today I met the hardest. Gawd, that was hard to translate into English and probably doesn't make much sense haha. My goal for Saturdays run is to keep the times below.

15 min gå/walk
1 min løb/run
1½ min gå/walk
2½ min løb/run
2 min gå/walk
2½ min løb/run
1½ min gå/walk
1 min løb/run

og så en tur i netto ;)

Party invitation, revelation, acceptance and run # 4

2010-06-01T10:15:00.000-07:00

In English below

Der er kommet en festinvitation til firmafesten i september med temaet 50'erne. Jeg har virkelig lyst til at køre stilen ud mht tøj, makeup og hår. Jeg er lidt i tvivl om jeg skal købe en 50'er kjole til den størrelse som jeg er nu og så bare være glad for det (yay!) eller om jeg skal satse på, at jeg taber mig. haha det første lyder nu mest rigtig. Jeg tror, jeg bare vil være glad for mig selv som jeg er. Og så må vi se, om jeg taber mig ad naturlig vej.

Jeg fik en åbenbaring i morges, da jeg skulle vælge tapet på min mobiltelefon. Jeg valgte et billede jeg tog i søndags af to tomme lærreder og kom til at tænke på, hvor rart det ville være, hvis livet var som et blankt lærred og man selv kunne vælge, hvad man skulle lægge på. Og så gik det op for mig, at livet faktisk er sådan. Selvfølgelig er der nogle rammer, fx arbejde, indkomst, partnerskab, men i det daglige har jeg selv muligheden for at vælge, hvad der skal præge denne dag.

Og så blev jeg modig. Jeg tænkte, hvad kunne jeg godt tænke mig at gøre i dag, hvad jeg ikke plejer at gøre? Jo, i dag kunne jeg godt tænke mig ikke at prøve at skjule min krop. Ikke at prøve at skjule min størrelse. For normalt går jeg ofte rundt med en negativ kropsbevidsthed og tænker på, hvordan jeg kan se mindre ud. ”Hvis jeg nu bøjer mig lidt sammen og holder armene foran min mave. Så ser man ikke mine deller”. Og det kan sgu godt være, man så ser mindre af mine deller. Men man kan også se mindre af MIG. Man kan se en sammenkrøbet, dugnakket person, der prøver at skjule sine deller.
I morges traf jeg så valget, at jeg ville acceptere min størrelse, som den er. Jeg har holdt det hele dagen. Og hvor var det rart, for en gang skyld at acceptere migselv.

Min fjerde løbetur var i dag. I kan se mine tider nedenunder. Der er allerede sket forbedringer.
3 min gå
1½ min løb
2 min gå
2 min løb
2 min gå
2 min løb
2 min gå og så var jeg hjemme

I have received a party invitation to the company party in September with a 50’s theme. I feel like going all the way concerning clothes, make-up and hair. I am a bit in doubt if I should buy a 50’s style dress for the size that I am now and be happy for that (yay!) or if I should count on loosing weight. Haha I guess the first sounds the most right. I think, I’ll just like myself as who I am. And let’s see if I loose weight au natural.

I had a revelation this morning when I was choosing wallpaper for my cellphone. I chose a picture I took Sunday of two empty canvas’ and I started to think of how nice it would be if llife was like an empty canvas and one could choose what to put on. And then I realised that life actually is like that. Of course there are frames, like work, salery, status, but on a daily basis I have the opportunity to choose what to add to this day.

And then I got brave. I thought: What could I do today that I normally don’t do? Well, today I’d like to not try to hide my body. Not try to hide my size. Normally I often tend to have a negative consience about my body and think about how I can appear smaller. ”If I bend a little bit and hold my arms across my belly, then maybe people wont notice my rolls of fat”. And hell, maybe it’s harder to see my rolls of fat. But it is also harder to see ME. You can see a crouched person trying to hide the fat rolls!
So this morning I chose to accept my size as it is. And I’ve done so all day. And God it is so nice for once to accept myself.

My fourth run was today. You can see my times below. There has already been improvements:
3 min walk
1½ min run
2 min walk
2 min run
2 min walk
2 min run
2 min walk and then I was home

Tegneundervisning og løbetur 3

2010-05-30T10:21:00.001-07:00

i dag har jeg i det mindste været til tegneundervisning med Helena hos Nuax. Og det var som altid givende. Har brugt lang tid på at lave en skitse af en lille buttet og blå glasvase med noget filigranagtig noget, som jeg skal prøve at male næste gang. Det bliver mit første maleri. Det bliver spændende. Jeg håber ikke, jeg er for selvkritisk. Jeg vil gerne støtte mig selv og komme med positiv brugbar kritik.

Og lur mig om jeg ikke lige har været ude at løbe i både regn og blæst. Det blev løbetur tre i denne uge, så jeg er godt tilfreds:

3 min, 15 sek gå
1 min, 45 sek løb
2 min gå
1 min løb
1 min, 30 sek gå
2 min løb
3 min gå
og så var jeg hjemme og selvtilfreds. Selvom det stadig går langsomt, går det fremad.
--
Today I had teaching class with Helena and Nuax. And it was as always very fruitful. We spent a long time doing sketches. Helena made one of a key and more keys and I made a sketch of a blue vase of glass. Next time we will paint it. It'll be my first painting and I am very excited. I hope I won't be too critical. I hope I'll be able to give myself positive and constructive critique.

And I'll be fooled if I wasn't out for a run just now defying the rain and wind. It was my third run this week so I am quite satisfied.
These were my times:
3 min, 15 sec walk
1 min, 45 sec run
2 min walk
1 min run
1 min, 30 sec walk
2 min run
3 min walk
And then I was home and satisfied. It's still slowwww but I am happy nonetheless as the times a improving slowly but surely

run 2

2010-05-27T11:37:00.000-07:00

Så var jeg ude på min løbetur nummer to i dag. Jeg gad faktisk ikke. Og var begyndt at komme med undskyldninger overfor mig selv. "Jeg HAR jo også cyklet på arbejde i dag" og andre dårlige undskyldninger.
Så det var heldigt, at jeg har indgået en aftale med en kollega om at jeg skulle løbe i dag. Der er nemlig en sparken-i-røven-liste man kan skrive sig på, hvis der er nogle motionsting, men har brug for spark i røven til. Og morges skrev jeg mig på. Og det har allerede virket.

I dag var mine tider:
3 min gå
1 min løb
2 min gå
1½ min løb
2 min gå
1½ min løb
gå i netto ;P

og så har jeg købt for en formue i netto. 70 kr. Men så har jeg også en liter mælk, en liter yoghurt, to bananer, en liter koldskål, en bakke jordbær til koldskålen.

I've been out for my run number two today. Actually I couldn't be bothered. And I started to make excuses. Bad excuses.
Buuut I've made a deal with some colleagues and I promised them I'd run today. So I did! Yay!
This is my runtime today:
3 min walk
1 min run
2 min walk
1½ min run
2 min walk
1½ min run

Then I walked a trip to the store and bought a liter of milk, a liter of yoghurt, to bananas, a liter of koldskål (which translates into cold buttermilk soup) and a bunch of strawberries to put into the koldskål and it was yummy yummy yummy.

work, drawing lessons and run 1

2010-05-25T11:31:00.000-07:00

Lad mig lige slå det fast: Jeg elsker (stadig) mit arbejde. Jeg elsker (stadig) min nye nærmeste kollega og jeg føler mig bare så heldig. Og dygtig til mit arbejde - yes sir! Det er en win-win. En win for mig og en win for min arbejdsplads.
Det går godt med tegneundervisningen, selvom det er svært. Det er svært at tegne, det er svært at være tilfreds med det jeg tegner og det er svært at prioritere tiden til at tegne. Men jeg kan godt lide at tegne og jeg kan især godt lide at gå til tegneundervisning, med Helena, hos nuax.org. Han er en dygtig underviser.
Jeg har i dag taget min første løbetur i lang tid og har følgende tid: 3 min gang, 1 min løb, 2 min gang, 1 min løb, 2 min gang, 1 min løb. Det er en langsom start men en god start.

Lad me set the record straight: I (still) love my job. I (still) love my new colleague and I feel so lucky. And I feel so good at my job - yes sir! It's a win-win. A win for me and a win for my new working place.
The drawing lessons are going well even though it is difficult. It's hard to draw, it's hard to be satisfied with what I draw and it is hard to find the time to draw. But I like to draw and I like to attend drawing lessons with helena at nuax.org. He is a skilled teacher.
Today I went for my first run in a long time and this was my time: 3 min walk, 1 min run, 2 min walk, 1 min run, 2 min walk, 1 min run. It's a slow but good beginning.

My new job

2010-05-11T10:27:00.001-07:00

English below:
Jeg vil bare skrive lidt om mit nye arbejde. Jeg elsker mit nye arbejde, intet mindre. Jeg elsker min nye nærmeste kollega. Jeg elsker min nye chef. Jeg elsker direktøren. Jeg elsker det videnskabelige personale. Jeg elsker den effektive it-afdeling. Jeg elsker mine arbejdsopgaver. Jeg elsker at være knalddygtig til min nye arbejde. Jeg elsker, at jeg tror på mig selv fagligt. Og jeg elsker især min nye nærmeste kollega. Hun er bare en knag.

Jeg savner mange af mine kollegaer fra mit gamle arbejde. Jeg savner også en skriftlig anbefaling, som min gamle chef ikke har tid til at skrive. Så nu, mine damer og herrer, nu har jeg skrevet min egen. Jeg har den lige ud hos nogle tidligere kollegaer, for at de kan komme med nogle inputs hvis de har tid og lyst. Og så håber jeg, min chef kan skrive under på den. Please, lad ham skrive under på den.
---
I just want to write a bit about my new job. I love my new job, nothing less. I love my new close colleague. I love my new boss. I love the president. I love the scientific staff. I love the effective it-department. I love my new job tasks. I love to be really good at my job. I love that I believe in myself work wise. And especially I love my new close colleague. She rocks.

I miss a lot of my colleagues from my old jobn. I also miss a written recommendation that my old boss doesn't have the time to write. So now, ladies and gentlemen, I have written my own recommendation. I've sent it to some former colleagues so they can come with some inputs if they have the time. And then I'll hope my boss will sign it. Please, let him sign it.

Honey, I'm back

2010-05-11T10:14:00.000-07:00

English below:
Skrevet i går, tirsdag aften:
Jeg har fået min computer tilbage! Og det første jeg har gjort er at betale min husleje.Jeg har været for nærig til at betale den på posthus eller i bank, så jeg har ventet. Det er så en pæn risiko for, at jeg nu kommer til at betale 250 (TOHUNDREDEHALVTREDS) kr i rykker for at betale for sent. Hvorfor tager det i øvrigt et halvt år plus, for at blive tilmeldt til PBS?

i går på denne tid, var jeg ved at gå i spåner over skimmelsvamp under køkkenvasken. Jeg har et længere stykke tid bemærket sådan en halvmuggenfugtig lugt i min lejlighed og her efter weekenden, hvor jeg havde været være i et døgn uden at lufte ud, var den ekstra slem. Og så opdagede jeg pludselig nogle sære pletter under håndvasken.

NU var gode råd dyre. Jeg var 99,9 % sikker på at jeg havde skimmelsvamp under vasken. Åh, og det var grunden til min uoplagthed. Og min gentagne øjenbetændelse og mine bihuleproblemer (som jeg har haft længe før jeg flyttede ind her....).

Anywho, oven på min megalange weekend, begyndte jeg at rydde op søndag aften, støvsugede kl. 20, vaskede gulv kl. 20.25 og var færdig kl. 20.50. Vaskede op og var i seng kl. 22.

Ooooog så i morges, kiggede jeg under køkkenvasken igen med friske øjne. Og det er tydeligvis maling. Grå maling. Jeg ville uploade det til Bm, hvis jeg ikke var pinlig berørt, doven og i øvrigt småberuset efter vinsmagningen i aften.

Jeg vil nu give køkkenvasken i køkkenet en tur med afløbsrens og hvis det ikke hjælper, vil jeg så ringe til viceværten og spørge, om han vil komme forbi og lugte i min lejlighed. Om der lugter af skimmelsvamp.

I dag havde vi blindsmagning af Chardonnay. Vi skulle gætte hvilket land de kom fri. Der var ni slags. Jeg havde ingen rigtigte.
Til gengæld havde jeg en rigtig god aften.

HIK

Nu står min cykel et eller andet sted i indre by, fordi jeg var for besoffen til at cykle hjem. I stedet for at være irriteret over at skulle ind i indre by for at hente den, vil jeg være glad for, jeg var så fornuftigt at lade den stå.

Jeg elsker livet.

Written Tuesday evening:
I got my computer back! And the first thing I've done is to pay my rent by home banking. I have been too cheap to pay it in the post office, so I have been waiting. Now there is the risk that I will pay 250 (TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY!) kr in late-fee. Now that is retarded, Pepe.

This afternoon we had a meeting in the wine tasting club at work. Blind taste. We should guess the origin country of Chardonney wines. There was nine wines. I had zero correct guesses. At least I had a nice evening. Hick.

I love life

Hey mr. dj

Jeg vil gerne sige TAK TAK TAK til den IT mand, der reddede mit arbejde. Han gjorde en ekstra indsats og reddede 2 x 12 timers arbejde for mig. Jeg har sendt ham en e-mail, hvor jeg gav ham min evige taknemmelighed. Åh Tak.

Vi havde en rigtig god ferie i sommerhuset i det grønne jyske. Vi boede ved vandet, på landet, i skoven, på bakken, i læet, i solskinnet, ved udsigten.

Der er møg travlt på arbejdet, hvilket på en måde er fedt: 550 ubesvarede e-mails, 190 studerende der venter på at blive optaget, 115 ansøgninger, der skal behandles osv. Det er på med vanten!

Jeg elsker dig, forår

I want to say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to the IT guy at work who saved my work. He made an extra effort and saved me 2 x 12 hours of work. I've sent him an e-mail and expressed my eternal thankfulness. Oh thank you.

We had a really nice vacation in the summerhouse in Jutland. We lived by the water, on the country, in the forest, on the hill, in the sunshine and by the view.

It's so busy at work, which is kind of cool: 550 unanswered e-mails, 190 students waiting for their admission, 115 applications that needs to be processed and so on. Time to get some work done!

I love you, Spring

Nu rabler det!

2010-04-09T08:42:00.000-07:00

Der er hammer travlt på arbejdet. Vi snakker 180 km/t. Jeg arbejder over og arbejdet over fordi jeg snart stopper og fordi jeg nu har ferie. I går arbejdede jeg fra 7.45 til 22.21. Jeg har sendt rigtig mange e-mails og behandlet rigtig mange sager. Man kan nå rigtig meget i løbet af en 14 timers arbejdsdag. Og nu... nu er der så en IT fejl, der gør, at samtlige mails er fejlet.

Jeg er SÅ træt. Så fantastisk træt. Haha og det er så urealistisk, at mit arbejde er spildt. Jeg har skrevet en mail til IT afdelingen at det ikke er til at leve med. Og jeg håber, at min fornemmelse er rigtig, at ham IT manden synes, jeg er lidt cute og at det hjælper min sag. Uskyldige arbejdflirts ftw! Kryds fingre for, at de kan rette fejlen.

Nu har jeg ferie. I en uge. God weekend alle sammen.

Åh ja og så er min mobiltelefon gået i stykker. Gotta love it. Men jeg er i godt humør alligevel. Ferie rocker!

It is reheally busy at work. We're talking 110 mph. I work and work and work late because I'm quitting soon and because my week vacation officially has begun. Yesterday I worked from 7.,45 am to 22.21 pm and sent a high amount of e-mails and processed a high amount of administrative cases. And mind you, one can really do a lot of work in a 14 hour day of work. And now... now it appears there was an IT mistake that happened so NONE of my e-mails has been sent. None.

I am so tired. I am so so tired. Haha and it is so surreal that all my work is wasted. I've sent an e-mail to the IT department where I have written that I cannot live with this. And I hope that my gut feeling is right: That the guy who can solve this also has a thing for me. Innocent flirts at work ftw! Cross your fingers please.

Oh yeah and my cell phone is broken. Gotta love it. And still I am in a good mood. Vacation rocks!
Now I have vacation. For a week. Have a nice weekend everyone

Easter

2010-04-05T12:25:00.001-07:00

Undskyld jeg ikke har skrevet.
Jeg har det godt. Stemmen er tilbage i fuld flor og tandsmerterne er draget af helvede til, tilbage hvor de kom fra.
Jeg har festet en masse - en hel masse og det har været skønt, bortset fra dagene derpå.
Nu skal jeg lige have en pause med det der festeri og glæder mig til jeg skal i sommerhus med morlil. Jeg glæder mig ikke til den lange køretur, fordi jeg er så bange for at køre bil. Føj. Til gengæld er det 100 gange nemmere end med det offentlige.
Og så har jeg glemt min fars fødselsdag i dag. Tsk tsk. Jeg har købt en trøstepræmie til mig selv, når nu jeg ikke vinder titlen Årets Datter 2010 og det er bogen Nærværets Mirakel, som handler om åndsnærvær og meditation. Jeg har en gang lånt den på bib på anbefaling af nogle venner, men nåede kun et par kapitler ind i bogen før den skulle afleveres igen.
Nå, men alt er vel. God påske!

I'm sorry I haven't written.
I am doing well. My voice is back and the tooth ache has gone to hell, back where it came from.
I've partied a lot - really a lot and it's been great expect for the following days.
Now I'll take a break from all the partying and I'm looking forward to go on vacation with mummy dearest. I am NOT looking forward to the long drive because I am afraid of driving a car. Yuck. At least it is so much easier than with the public transportation.
Oh and I forgot my fathers birthday again. Dear me. I've bought a comfort prize to myself now when I've lost the title Daughter of the Year 2010 and that is a book called The Miracle of Mindfulness which is about mindfulness and meditation. I've borrowed it at the library on the recommendations of some friends once but read two chapters before I had to return it.
But all is well. Happy easter!

Jeg siger hallo, hallo

Uf det er længe siden, jeg har blogget her. Hvad er nyt? Jeg har været syg og er mere eller mindre blevet rask igen. Jeg har mistet stemmen og det var lidt sjovt i starten. Nu er det irriterende og jeg har lige haft et anfald af hidsighed, fordi folk ikke kunne høre mig. To dage med svær kommunikation. Jeg ringer til lægen på mandag, hvis det ikke er blevet bedre.
Jeg har inviteret til afskedsreception på arbejdet og det bliver d. 29. april.
Det er rart, at foråret er her

My, it's been a while since my last blog. What is new? I've been sick and is more or less well again. I've lost my voice and it was kind of funnny. Now it's annoying and I just had a tantrum cuz people can't hear me. I'll call the doctor on Monday if it has not improved.
I've invited to a goodbye party at work. It'll be the 29th of April.
It's nice that Spring has arrived

New job

2010-03-13T11:25:00.000-08:00

Endelig er tandsmerterne stærkt aftaget. Jeg er nu kun på smertestillende hver 7. - 8. time i modsætning til hver 4. og kun på panodil og ipren. Yes sir. Det har fandme holdt hårdt. Det har været en drøj omgang.

Og så har jeg fået nyt arbejde. Yes sir. Jeg trængte sgu til lidt luftforandring og har fået et arbejde i samme virksomhed men i en anden afdeling og til en højere løn. Jeg kommer til at savne mange af mine kollegaer usigeligt meget. Heldigvis virker mine nye kollegaer også til at være rigtig søde. Jeg starter i mit nye job d. 1. maj.

I dag har jeg været på mit ekstraarbejde og er helt vildt træt. Det har været en fin dag. I morgen vil jeg sove så længe jeg kan. Og så bliver jeg nødt til at rydde op i mit køkken, da det er über slemt. Jeg har også syltet det i en uge. I en uge.

Finally the pain from the removed tooth has decreased. Now I only have to take painkillers every 7 or 8 hours and not every 4 hours and it's weaker painkillers. Yes sir. Damn this toothache has been a bitch. Two weeks in friggin' pain.

And I got a new job. Yes sir. I needed a change of scenery and have gotten a new job in the same company but in another department. I'll miss many of my colleagues soo much. Luckily my new colleagues also seem really sweet. I'll start my new job the 1st of May.

Today I've been on my extra job and I am tired. It has been a good day. Tomorrow I will sleep for as long as I can. And I've got to clean my kitchen. It's a mess. I've ignored it for a week now so it's really bad.

Tooth ache

2010-03-07T12:14:00.000-08:00

Kun på engelsk:
So after days with a tooth ache I finally had my dentist appointment Friday morning. They ended up pulling out my tooth and now I have had days with pain. The pain just wont go away and my breath can kill mankind. My breath is smelling so bad. Now a friend asked me if it is infected as it might explain the continues of the pain and the bad breath. I guess I will call the dentist tomorrow. I am so tired of the pain. I am tired because it hurts and because it takes up so much space and energy. And I am tired of talking about it and I'm afraid to annoy the people around me because I keep complaining. I consider staying home from work tomorrow because of the pain. The pain makes it hard to concentrate and it really impacts my level of tolerance.
I'll call the dentist at 7.55 am tomorrow. I know they are fully booked this week, but I really hope they can see me.

This is disgusting. Do not continue reading if you cannot cope with it:

I think the wound IS infected cuz it tastes really bad too and I think I might be swallowing the puss from the wound. Now that is fucking gross. Mmmm betændelse. Lækkert.

Venner er guld værd.
Nogle gange glemmer jeg, at jeg skal åbne mig op og fortælle hvordan jeg har det. Det er så nemt at være overfladisk og prøve at ignorere, når livet gør ondt. Heldigvis er livet også smukt og nu engang som livet er.
Min meditationsaftale blev aflyst i går. Jeg glæder mig til næste tirsdag, hvor vi har en ny aftale.
Snart har jeg fødselsdag <3
Bloodbath ftw!

Friends are worth a million.
Sometimes I forget I must open p and say how I am. It is so easy to be superficial and try to ignore it when life hurts. Luckily life is also beautiful and well, life is life.
My meditation appointment was cancelled yesterday. I look forward to next Tuesday where we have a new appointment.
Soon it is my birthday <3
Bloodbath ftw!

Livet

In Danish only:
Ak. Jeg havde udtrykt min interesse for en midlertidig fuldmægtig stilling på mit område, men fik i dag afvide, at de ville slå det op, da ledelsen var bange for at miste pengene til stillingen. Jeg er vel velkommen til at søge den, men er umiddelbart for såret til at gøre det. Jeg har søgt en anden stilling et andet sted i virksomheden og fortalt min chef om det efterfølgende. Han tog imod det med et leende og et grædende øje. Kryds fingre for mig, der er frist 8/3 og det virker rigtig spændende.

Klokken halv ni kommer der en mand for at se på mit skrivebord. Det er lidt klamt at fremmede mænd kommer hjem til mig om aftenen og jeg ville ønske, jeg ikke var alene. Må overveje at gå til selvforsvar.

I morgen skal jeg til meditation for første gang. Ikke helt det samme som selvforsvar.... Men det er med en værdsat ven og det bliver sjovt at prøve. Jeg må hellere huske noget afslappet tøj. Eller et klovnekostume. Bare for sjov.

Alt i alt har jeg det godt.. jeg har haft meget at tænke på og har været lidt ked af det. Men når jeg ser på det store billede, så har jeg det jo godt. Og det har jeg jo også, når jeg kigger på de enkelte følelser og prøver at tillægge bestemte følelser bestemte værdier. Ikke at jeg kan bestemme hvordan jeg har det, men når jeg har det sådan lidt la la, kan det være forbedrende at fokusere på de positive ting i livet.

Var i øvrigt hos min kiropraktor i dag. "Du får en buket blomster af mig", sagde han og slog 100 kr af prisen, fordi jeg har fødselsdag på torsdag. Det var da meget sødt.

Yes! Jeg elsker halstørklæder. Og panodiler. Og næsespray.
Gik i seng med det i går og havde ikke ondt i halsen i morges.
Jeg har været tung i mit hovede hele dagen, og nu er jeg træt og jeg vil eeelske at lægge mig på sofaen.
Så det vil jeg gøre. Og ellers blive liggende ind til jeg skal i seng, hvilket bliver tidligt, selvom jeg gerne vil se næste episode af The Vampire Diaries. Nu må vi se.
jeg har fået penge af min mor til at købe fødselsdagsgaver for og jeg har købet Jamie Oliver udstyr. En 4 L gryder, en 1 L kasserolle og en 28 cm pande. De var dyre, men også på tilbud og jeg sparede 800 kr.

Ja! I love scarfs. And painkillers. And nosespray.
I went to bed with it yesterday and my throat didn't hurt this morning.
My hear's been heavy all day and now I'm tired and would loooove to lay on the coach.
So that's what I'll do. And lay there until I'll go to bed which will be early, even though I'd like to see the second episode of the Vampire Diaries. We'll see.
I've receive money from my mum to buy my birthday presents and I've bought Jamie Oliver equipment for it. Two pots and a pan. They were expensive but on sale and I saved 800 kr.

Neeeeej. Jeg har fået ondt i halsen.
Jeg gider ikke blive syg. Jeg går i seng nu, selvom det kun er 21 nul nul og jeg tager et halstørklæde om halsen. Jeg hader ellers halstørklæder. Især at sove med dem. Jeg føler mig kvalt og det kradser. Men hvis det tager halspinen, er det jo fint.

Jeg har søgt om forfremmelse som fuldmægtig i et vikariat indtil november, hvor den fuldmægtige kommer tilbage fra udlånet til en anden afdeling. Jeg har ikke tænkt det 100% igennem, men nogle gange skal man smede, mens jernet er varmt. Jeg vil i hvert fald blive udfordret. Jeg ved ikke, hvornår jeg hører noget. A pro pos høre har jeg hørt en masse Cinderella i dag. Heartbreak Station & Long cold winter.

Noooo. My throat has started to hurt.
I don't wanna be sick. I'll go to bed now, even if it is just 9 pm and I'll wear a scarf too. I hate scarfs, you know. I especially hate sleeping with them. I feel strangulated and it itches. But if it will remove the pain, well, fine by me.

I have requested a promotion at work. It is a temporary position as head of section until November, where the 'real' head of section will return to the position. I haven't thought it through 100 % but sometimes you gotta go for it. It will challenge me for sure. I don't know when I'll hear anything. Speaking of hearing, I've heard a lot of Cinderella today. Heartbreak Station & Long cold winter. Oh yeah and swedish melodic death band Bloodbath.

Et eksempel

2010-02-12T06:53:00.000-08:00

English below:
Jeg har oplevet noget fedt.
Til kontormødet i dag fortalte kontorchefen, at han havde været til møde i en offentlig styrelse, da de skal omlægge nogle procedurer. Og der var mit navn simpelthen blevet nævnt flere gange i positive vendinger. Og de ville samle alle mit fornavn/efternavn'erne i hele landet. At jeg virkelig havde styr på det.

Hvor er det sejt. Tænk at jeg har så positivt ry i en styrelse i Danmark. Det anede jeg slet ikke. Jeg ved, at jeg er god til mit arbejde og er meget hjælpsom etc., men jeg vidste ikke, at det havde sådan en effekt. Og hvor er det sejt, at det er kommet ud på sådan et højt plan. Og at chefen hører det på sådan et højt plan og at han siger det videre. Det værdsætter jeg.

I have experienced something neat.
At a meeting at work today our director said, that he had participated in a meeting in a national public agency because they have to re-structure some procedures. And my name had been posetively mentioned several times. They said, they would gather all the me's in the country. That I really know the stuff.

That is so cool. I can't belive I have such a positive reputation in a public agency. I had no idea. I know I am good at my job and that I am helpful etc., but I had no idea it had such an effect.

Tak

2010-02-08T12:01:00.000-08:00

Aaaah.
Lyden af tilfredshed og effektivitet.
Jeg havde en rigtig god, produktiv og effektiv hjemmearbejdsdag i dag. Og så kom AL og vi tømte flyttekasser og rykkede rundt på stuen så hvor jeg før havde en proppet stue der var super dårlig indrettet, har jeg nu fået en ny og dejlig stue med plads og hvor er det dejligt.

Aaah.
The sound of contentment and efficiency.
I had a good, productive and efficient working day at home. And then AL came over and we emptied the moving boxes in the living room and re-arranged the furniture. So before I had a crammed living room with hardly any space at all, I know have a new lovely living room with plenty of space and ah, it is so nice.

Haha jeg skrev ovenstående lørdag aften og kom fra bloggen igen.
Nu er det søndag og næsten lige så rodet. Dog af den mere overfladiske slags, så det er hurtigt overstået. Men nu er det film med John Wayne og jeg har altså prioriteterne i orden, så jeg ser John Wayne og spiser kage. Så kan jeg rydde op bagefter.

I formiddag gik jeg til palads og så the road. Det var en okay film. Hård og lidt mere langtrukken end fængende og ikke så rørende. Men jeg er glad for jeg så den. Og Det var en god slutning, der gav mig håb for fremtiden.

Jeg har en travl uge næste uge. Jeg har planer mandag, tirsdag, onsdag, torsdag og lørdag og måske også fredag.

Jeg har bevæget mig lidt længere ind i meditationens verden og er begyndt at blive bevidst om åndedrættet. Jeg har endnu ikke mediteret.

ps er flad, send flere penge

2010-02-05T08:34:00.000-08:00

Det roder. Det roder. Det roder.
Ja, det roder.
Det roder herhjemme.
Og jeg er for træt, doven og ugidelig til at gøre noget ved det.
Men for fanden hvor det roder.
Jeg har haft en hjemmearbejdsdag i dag, så jeg har ikke kunnet rydde op, når jeg har haft energi, men kun arbejde, og nu hvor den uduelige arbejdsserver er gået ned igen og ikke kommer op før mandag, og jeg egentlig har tid til at rydde op, gider jeg ikke. Jeg er gammel og træt og sidder igen bag både computeren og tv'et i stedet for at læse i de meditationsbøger jeg har lånt for et stykke tid siden. Og i stedet for at rydde op. Piss oss.

It's messy. Messy. Messy.
Yes, it's a mess.
It's a mess here at home.
And I am too tired, lazy and unbotherable.
I have had a working day at home so I haven't tidied the house when I had the energy, and now when the crappy work server has crashed and wont be up again by Monday, leaves me time to clean, I couldn't be bothered. I am old, I am tired and again sitting behind the screens of the tv and the computer instead of reading the meditation books I have borrowed a while ago. And in stread of tidying up. Bastard crap.

All you need is love... or Amarone

2010-02-02T12:14:00.000-08:00

I eftermiddag deltog jeg i vinsmagning på arbejdet for første gang i otte måneder og det var en succes. Temaet var Amarone og det var det bedste tema siden første gang jeg deltog, hvor temaet var hvidvine fra Alsace. Der var ikke en eneste dårlige vin imellem. Der var 7 flasker til 12 mennesker, så der kom hurtigt en god stemning. Det var slut kl. 18.45 og så gik jeg ned på den lokale og drak en fadøl. Amarone er godt, men efter et par timer i selskab med rødvin, var det sgi godt med en kold, forfriskende og velsmagende fadøl. Det var egentligt lidt underligt at gå alene på værtshus, så jeg smuttede lynhurtigt.
Næste tema er rødvine fra Burgunder.
Nu sidder jeg mæt og tilfreds og er på vej i seng.
Og jeg elsker sneen. Elsker elsker elsker.

This afternoon I participated in the wine tasting event at work for the first time in eight months and it was a great success. The theme was Amarone and it was the best theme since the first time i participated where the theme was white wines from Alsace. There was not one bad wine. And there was 7 bottles for 12 people so the atmosphere was good. It ended at 6.45 pm and I went to the pub for a draft. Amarone is good but after a couple of hours drinking red whine it was really nice with a cold, refreshing and well-tasting draft beer. It was kind of odd to go alone to the pub so I drank my beer and headed home.
The next theme is red wines from Bourgogne.
Now I am full, satisfied and going to bed.
And I love the snow. Love love love.

Not in English. Not worth translating.

Fuck me.
Jeg bruger hele lørdagen, næsten, på at rydde op og nu er det søndag aften og her rooooder allerede igen. Shit manse. Jeg er ved at få knopper. Jeg er ufuldstændig, utilfreds, utilpaas og uALT. Sæt et u foran et ord og det er mig. Uoplagt, ufrisk, uglad, unormal.

Jeg aflyste med AL i dag fordi jeg ikke kunne overskue, at hun skulle ud i det vejr. Det var et værre vejr. Jeg har selv udpakket tre flyttekasser men det er jo som en friggin' dråbe i vandet og nu sidder jeg her, tykkere end tyk, i min sofa og bruger så meget energi på at tænke, at jeg skal tabe mig, altimens jeg spiser og spiser. Oh du lurendrejer, du. Du onde cirkel. Du gammelkendte fjende, VIG BORT.

JEG ER ET GODT MENNESKE, SELVOM JEG ER TYK.

Et godt, tykt, flodhestelignende menneske med et evigt hul i maven. Fårk mand, hvis kommunen mangler sneskrabere skal de bare rulle mig ned ad vejen, så rydder jeg vejen for dem. Excuse me --- michelinwoman coming through.

Nå, men det er jo dumt at skrive sådan noget. Det er dumt at tænke sådan noget. Det er dumt at føle sådan noget. Så nu vil jeg rydde op i min stue og gå i seng.

ps og så sidder jeg her og tænker "er det det, livet har at tilbyde?" Og nej, det er det jo ikke. Det er ikke det, livet har at tilbyde. Det er det, jeg vælger. Og nu vil jeg fandme lette røven. Adios.

Der Alte

2010-01-30T09:53:00.000-08:00

I går var jeg lige pludselig 100 år gammel og i stedet for at tage til iron maiden convention på club faust, så jeg x-faktor og harry potter og sov som en sten kort efter. Man undres. Det er fandme sært at vælge hjemmeaften fremfor fis og ballade og iron maiden.
Den primære årsag var egentlig, at jeg skulle ud og rende hele lørdagen og få besøg og tage en ordenlig tørn med den evigtbelastende udpakning af de sidste 30 flyttekasser.

Her til morgen ringede min far så og sagde, at jeg ikke behøvede at komme forbi, fordi der var -9 grader og masser af sne og så ringede jeg til min mor, der sagde det samme. Og så have jeg en hel lørdag-dag. Så jeg ryddede op, fordi det hele sejlede, og tog en ordenlig skraber på sofaen - man er vel gammel - og nu venter jeg på at den søde S og hendes baby kommer forbi til en gyser. Vi skal se Hjemsøgt (the haunting in conneticut). Jeg håber ikke, den er alt for uhyggelig. '

P1 har i øvrigt været en genial radiokanal i dag. Godt med debatter og bevægende skildringer.

I morgen kommer AL, som jeg arbejdede sammen med på jura. Hun forbarmede sig vist over mit flytterod, sidst hun var her. Så hun kommer søndag kl. 10 og så tager vi en ordenlig tørn. Og et stykke kage, for hun har bagt kage. Bonus. Og skal vi have hængt noget op, skal vi bare ringe efter hendes mand. Bonus. Jeg tror, jeg skal have hængt følgende op: Uret i gangen. Spejlet i gangen. Og måske også billeder, hvis vi får rykket sofaen på plads indtil jeg får købt mig en ny. Jeg trænger desperat til en ny sofa. Please someone, kør med mig til Daells bolighus eller Biva. Pllllease.

Og så sælger jeg mit skrivebord. Mit fine gamle skrivebord som jeg simpelthen ikke får brugt efter jeg har fået min bærbare. Det er fint og gammelt, man kan godt se det er brugt og der er to mærker efter glas, men det er stadig flot. Der er to hylder foran, fire skuffer og to skabe. De to skabe og den øverste skuffe kan låses. Stolen og to flasker med møbelpudsemiddel følger med for gratis. Skrivebordet har en flot bue .Har du et bud? Flere billeder kommer og du er velkommen til at komme forbi og kigge.

Nå nu er Sofie her, billeder kommer senere.

So yesterday I was a hundred years old and instead of going to an Iron Maiden convention at club Faust I was at home and watched x-factor and Harry Potter and then fell asleep. One wonders. it's friggin' odd to choose a night in over a night out and iron maiden.
I did it mainly because I was supposed to have a busy Saturday and get visit Sunday and work on the unpacking of all my habengut.

But this morning my father called and said it was best if I didn't come to visit because it was -9 degrees and loads and loads of snow. Then I called my mum and all of a sudden I had a day off. So I tidied up and took a looong nap, which is OK when you are a hundred years old. And now I am waiting for my friend S and her baby to come over. We will watch the horror movie Hjemsøgt - the haunting in conneticut. I hope it is not too scary.

P1 has been a brilliant radio channel today. Good discussions and moving radio stories told.

AL will come tomorrow. She is a former colleague from Law. I think she felt pity the last time she visited me and has offered to help unpacking. So we will take a good turn. And a slice of cake cuz she has baked a cake. Bonus. And her husbond has said that we should just call him if we need any help. Bonus.

I have to sell my old desk. I don't have room for it.

Long cold winter

2010-01-26T11:27:00.000-08:00

Wow to blogs på én aften.
Jeg vil bare dele min vinterlykke med jer.
jeg er så glad for vinteren i år. Det er en god vinter. Lys på grund af sneen og frisk på grund af frosten. Hellere to minusgrader end to plusgrader. Hellere lidt frost der bider i kinderne og tænder livsgnist i sjælen end den forrige vinters evigtunge gråvejr og støvregn. Så tager jeg lidt frost og isflager i kanalen til hver en tid.
Tak, du velsignede vinter.

Det er den bedste vinter i mange år.

Wow two blogs in one night.
I just want to share my winter happiness with you.
I am so happy for the winter this year. It is a good winter. Light because of the snow and fresh because of the frost. I'll rather have two minus degrees than two plus degrees. Rarther a touch of frost to bite my cheeks and light the sparkle inside than last winters evergrey weather and rain. Then I'll have frost and ice on the Chanel anytime.
Thank you blessed winter.

This is the best winter in many years .

Hot for teacher

Det gik så godt i dag til undervisningen. Det gik simpelthen så godt. Jeg vil faktisk citere en kollega, der sendte mig denne e-mail kort efter:

"Tak for i dag – det var et godt kursus. Jeg vil blot sige at jeg synes at du gjorde det rigtig godt og at du er god til at formilde stoffet."

Det var sødt, betænksomt og overskudsagtigt af hende og jeg har takket mange gange. Jeg syntes faktisk også selv, det gik rigtig godt.

The teaching went so well today. So so well. Allow me to quote a colleague who sent me this e-mail afterwards:

"Thank you for today - it was a good course. I just want to let you know that I think you did it really well and that you are good to communicate the content".

It was really nice, thoughtfull and considerate of her and I thanked her many times. I thought it went really well.

Åh jeg har lidt nerver på for i morgen formiddag, hvor jeg skal undervise nogle af mine fjerne kollegaer. Jeg burde tage det helt cool. Jeg har undervist før og jeg har talt for 500 mennesker før, så disse syv nye kollegaer er forhåbentlig bare taknemmelige for undervisningen og så tager det kun en halv time. Right?
Nu sidder jeg og hygger mig med at opdatere powerpoint præsentationen og skal i eftermiddag finde på spørgsmål til fri leg i databasen. Heldigvis kan jeg emnet by heart, så jeg skal ikke bruge så meget tid på at sætte mig ind i det.

Jeg fik en afbudstid på fysioterapiordningen på arbejdet i dag. En halv times massage til 75 kr - det holder! I eftermiddag skal jeg drikke kaffe med en tidligere kollega/nuværende ven og så skal jeg til kiropraktor. Og det er tiltrængt, jeg har latterligt ondt i ryggen og havde hovedpine både fredag og lørdag. Og så skal jeg på bib og hente to bøger om meditation som føromtalte ven har anbefalet. Åh ja, kan I lige se mig meditere. Gad vide hvor realistisk det er at jeg vælger meditation fremfor fjernsyn og internet.

Jeg vil måske løbe en tur i aften. Måske.

Ach, I am feeling a bit nervous. I will be teaching to some colleagues tomorrow morning. I should be cool. I mean, I have taught before and I have held speeches for hundreds, so these seven new colleagues is hopefully just gratefull for the teaching and it will only last for half an hour. So I should be cool. Right?
Now I am sitting cosy and updating the powerpoint presentation and will use this afternoon to put together some challenging questions. Luckily I know the subject by heart so I do not need to use time on learning it.

I went to the physiotherapist at work for a nice massage this morning. Half an hour for 75 kr/8 $/ 10 €. That rocks. This afternoon I will go for a cuppa with a former colleague/current friend and then I'll see the chiroprachtor which is needed cuz my back hurts and I had a headache both Friday and Saturday. And I'll go to the library to pick up two books about meditation that the previously mentioned friend has recommended. Oh man, can you guys actually see me meditate. I wonder how realistic it is that I choose meditation over television and internet.

Maybe I will go for a run tonight. Maybe.

Jeg var ude for første gang i en måned i fredags og det var excellent. Var på det hyggelige Halvvejen i Krystalgade, på indisk restaurant i Skt Peders stræde og på Club Faust i Skindergade. Halvvejen var som altid et hit. Vi havde heldigvis reserveret et bord, takket være en kollega med fobindelserne i orden. Genialt med deres klippekort. Mums. Meget tilrøget, det er sgu den eneste ulempe. Den indiske restaurant Tandori Masala var fin og jeg spiser der gerne igen. Deres medium karry var dog ret stærk, men så fik vi en complimentary mango lassi on the house. God stil. Bagefter tog K og jeg på Club Faust. Jeg var egentlig mest i humør til at tage hjem og crashe min sofa foran fjernsynet, men jeg ville så gerne se og høre Mauerbrecher og boy, er jeg glad for min beslutning. For jeg mødte nogle søde, nye mennesker og Mauerbrecher gjorde det rigtig godt. Så godt at jeg må prøve at opstøve en cd. Man kan selvfølgelig også høre det på myspace på http://www.myspace.com/mauerbrecher, men det er nu rart at eje musikken.

Jeg håber på at tage på Faust igen d. 6. februar, hvor Bragagild har arrangeret koncert med Allersseelen, die weisse rose og miel nor. Jeg kender ingen af dem, men takker ja til muligheden for at høre noget nyt.

I dag har jeg sovet længe, løbet en tur, taget en lang morfar, gjort rent og nu lavet pandekager og ser American Idol. Der lugter af pandekager i hele lejligheden, lidt overvældende.

Jeg er træt af at være træt. Jeg lover at tage mine vitaminpiller hver dag i denne uge.

I went out this Friday for the first time in a month and it was excellent. We went to the cosy Halvvejen (Halfway), and indian restaurant and the club Faust. Halvvejen was a hit as always. Luckily we had reserved a table thanks to a colleague with the connections in order. I just wish it wasn't that smoky in there. The Indian restaurant Tandori Masala was nice and I will be happy to eat there again. Their medium curry was far too hot though, but they gave us a complimentary mango lassy and that is good style, I think. Afterwards K and I went to Club Faust. I was mostly in the mood to go home and crash my house and telly, but I didn't because I really wanted to see Mauerbrecher and I am really happy that I did. Cuz I met some new, nice people and Mauerbrecher was really good. So good that I want to try to find the cd. Of course I can hear it at myspace at http://www.myspace.com/mauerbrecher but it just nice to own the music as well.

I hope to go to Faust again the 6th of February where Bragagild has arranged a concert with Allersseelen, die weisse rose and miel noir. I don't know any of them but I will be happy to hear some new music.

Today I slept long, went for a run, then for a loong nap, then vacuumed and washed the floor, then made pancakes and now watching american idol. My whole place smells of pancakes, it is a bit overwhelming.

I am tired of being tired. I promise to take all my vitaminpills this week.

Åh det er bare så trist det hele på arbejdet.
Aner ikke hvad der skal ske efter de andres fyring og der er så meget hemmelighedskræmmeri.
Har lige været ude at gå en tur, det var tiltrængt at komme lidt ud. Følte at jeg bare kunne blive ved med at gå og aldrig stoppe.
Savner et sted at blogge helt anonymt, er der nogen, der kan anbefale et alternativ til blogspot?
Har ikke drukket/været i byen i tre uger nu. Coolest.
Trænger til ferie. Glæder mig til turen til dgi byen torsdag.
Kunne godt bruge en tur fx til Malaga, hvor livet gik ud på at svømme i swimmingpoolen, vove sig ud i middelhavet (krævede meget mod), slikke sol, drikke G&T og få lidt at spise, det hele kun afbrudt af et middagshvil og lidt boglæsning en gang imellem.
-
Det var fedt at se DR byen og det var god mad på Bryggens spisehus bagefter. Der spiser jeg gerne igen.
Har dog fundet ud af en ting på arbejdet, der har gjort mig vred, skuffet og ked af det. Jeg må lige finde ud af, hvordan jeg griber det an.

Gawd, everything is just so sad at work.
Don't know what will happen after the others got fired and there is so much secretish whispering going on.
I went for a wee walk. Needed to get out a bit. I felt like I could just walk and walk and never stop.
I miss a place to blog anonymously, can anyone recommend an alternative to blogspot?
I haven't been drinking/been out on the town for three weeks now. Cool.
Need vacation. I am looking forward to the trip to the swimming bath on Thursday.
I need a trip to Malaga for example where life was all about swimming in the pool or dare to go to the Mediterranean sea (which took a lot of course), get some sun, drink G&T, get something to eat, go for a nap, reading a book.
-
It was cool to visit Denmarks TV & Radio network. And a nice meal after wards too.
I have discovered a thing at work that makes me angry and disappointed. I have to work out how to take care of it.

Vaskede tøj
Tog hul på Den store pilatesbog
Lavede god mad
Har slappet af.
Nu er det ved at være sengetid.

I morgen rundvisning i dr byen og efterfølgende spisning på Bryggens Spisehus. Og jeg kan gå hjem, yay. Jeg elsker at være flyttet til Amager og jeg elsker min lejlighed. Hvis nogen vil komme forbi en eftermiddag eller aften og holde mig til ilden, mens jeg får pakket det sidste ud eller lignende, så kom glad. I overmorgen kommer firkløveret forbi. Vi skal have selleribøffer, stuvet hvidkål og mos af søde kartofler. Og Anne-Lises hjemmebag, yes sir. Torsdag skal jeg i svømmehallen med min ven og så ud og spise og så er der weekend endnu uden planer bortset fra tøjvask og en forventing om årets anden løbetur.

Jeg er en anelse vintermelankolsk i disse dage. Frydes dog heldigvis over sneen.

Åh ja og så har jeg reserveret nogle bøger om meditation, som en ven har anbefalet. Tænk at jeg skal prøve at meditere. Det bliver en god udfordring.

Today has been a good day both at work and in private.
Highlights:
Finally went to the blood laboratory to get some tests done
Bought fancy shampoo and conditionor for cheap through a busy'n'sell newspaper
Went for a 4 km walk and stopped by the post office to get my package from nordhjem.dk
Did the laundry
Started on the big pilates book
Made tasty and easy dinner
Relaxed
And now it is bedtime.

Tomorrow I will go on a guided tour in the rooms of the Danish tv station dr.dk. Afterwards we will eat at Bryggens diner and I can walk home from there. I am happy that I have moved to Amager and I love my apartment. The day after tomorrow some friends will stop by and we will eat a nice meal consisting of - beware of the bad translation - steaks of celery, cabbage cooked in white sauce and sweet potato mash. It'll be tasty as hell. Thursday I'll go to the swimming bath with my friend and out for dinner. And then it is Friday and weekend without plans expect for laundry and the second run of this year.

I'm a bit melancolic these days. Thrilled about the snow, tho'.

Oh yeah and I have reserved some books at the libary. They are about meditation and a friend recommended them. I will try to meditate. How awesome is that. It is going to be a good challenge.

Lørdag: Jeg overlevede fyringsrunden, men mister to gode og nære kollegaer og flere andre gode kollegaer. Det har på mange måder været en skod uge, men jeg har klaret den takket være gode venner en baby og en unge. Andre folks børn er åbenbart lige sagen for mig, når jeg skal distraheres.

Mandag var jeg inde og se avatar. Den var god i 3D. Tirsdag var jeg til HK møde med efterfølgende show af Linda P. Hun var sjov og jeg kunne skræmmende nok genkende mig i nogle af hendes historier, haha. Traaash. Onsdag var jeg hos min nye læge. Hun var sej, sjov og uformel. Måske også lesbisk. Torsdag besøgte jeg min veninde og hendes 9 dage gamle søn og mistede mit hjerte til ham. Mage til guldklump skal man lede længe efter. Fredag var jeg på skønhedsklinik og få luksus ansigtsbehandling og manicuren. Ansigtsbehandlingen var rigtig god og jeg kan godt anbefale www.clematis-hudpleje.dk. I dag har jeg været på mit ekstra job og besøgt en anden rigtig god veninde og hendes søn og mand, som jeg hilste på for første gang. Hendes søn var også en rigtig guldklump og vi kastede straks vores kærlighed på hinanden. I morgen skal jeg sove så længe, jeg kan, og rydde op og gøre rent.

Søndag:
Jeg stod op kl. 8, tog mig sammen og løb min første tur siden september. Det var helt vildt hårdt og koldt og blæsten var en bitch, men jeg gjorde det. Yes sir. 2 km med meget løb. Det var simpelthen for koldt og blæsende til at gå ;-) Så spisten jeg god morgenmad og gik i seng og sov to timer og tre kvarter. Nu prøver jeg at tage mig sammen til at rydde op...

Saturday:
I survived the firing round at work but lost to damn good colleagues. It has been a crappy week in many ways. Thankfully my friends babies and children soothed things out for me.

Monday I saw Avatar which was good in 3D. Tuesday I went to a meeting with the Union and saw a stand up show afterwards. It was so funny but also scary because I totally reckognized myself in some of her white trash drinkin' stories, haha. Wednesday I had to consult my new doctor who was really cool and informal. And gay too, I think. Thursday I visited my good friend and her 9 days old baby and he just took my heart right there. Friday I went for a facial and a manicure and the facial was very good. Today I went to my extra job and visited another really good friend and met her husband and adorable child for the first time. Tomorrow I will sleep for as long as I can and then tidy up and clean.

Sunday:
I got up at 8 and forced myself to go out for my first run since September. It was hard and cold and so windy - god the wind was a biaaatch, but I made it! 2 km mostly run because it was too cold to walk, haha. Then I had a nice bed, went to bed and slept for 2 hours and 45 minutes. Now I am trying to force myself to tidy up and clean. God it is so boring.

Winds of change

Jeg har besluttet mig for så vidt muligt at kalde mine blogs for sangtitler. Og nu er det det meget nemme valg, wings of change.

2. Juledag var jeg til julefrokost med familien og bagefter blev jeg lokket med på værtshus af en god ven mf. Jeg tog godt for mig af portere og citronvand, 47'ere og grand marnier og havde som sædvanligt gevaldige tømmermænd dagen efter, også fordi vi tog Snus :-D
Og nu blev jeg sgu træt af dem, de tømmermænd, så jeg har ikke drukket siden. De her to ugers afholdenhed har sat tingene lidt i perspektiv. Hvor tit jeg egentligt har været i byen og hvor tit jeg egentlig har drukket. Misforstå mig ikke, jeg mener stadig at en snaps kan være godt for hjertet og to kan være godt for sjælen - jeg holder bare en pause fra det skidt. Og det er ret fedt. Noget af det fedeste er selvfølgelig det fysiske og psykiske velbehag ved ikke at være træt og tømmermændsramt. Men det rigtig fede er min bankkonto. Den er for en gang skyld ikke allerede i minus. Det skaber en ro i mig. Ikke at være på røven, som jeg ellers har været på samme tidspunkt af måneden normalt. Nu kan jeg måske endda spare lidt penge op. Det har jeg ellers ikke kunne i årevis.

Det gik i øvrigt fint med den katteejende nabo. Det var ligefrem hyggeligt.

I dag har jeg slappet af og haft besøg af min kusines mand, der har hjulpet med at hænge de sidste gardiner op. Jeg skal om meget snart løbe nøgen rundt i lejligheden og nyde, at jeg kan gøre det i fred :D

I dag er jeg kommet ned i tv-pakkerne. Tv udbyderen yousee havde givet mig den fulde pakke i en periode, men nu skal jeg betale 400 kr for den om måneden.. Så tror jeg, jeg må klare mig med den lille pakke til 99.

I have decided to name my blogs after songs. This blogs name was quite easy, winds of change. Boxing day was the day for the annual christmas party with the relatives and after that I went to the local bar with some friends and was oozin' and boozin'. I was so hungover the day after. It was killing me and I got so sick and tired of the hangovers that I have not been drinking since. I haven't been drinking for two weeks now and those two weeks have put things in perspective. How often I have been out on the town and how often I have been drinking. Don't get me wrong, I still think that that a snaps is good for the heart and two snapses for the soul - I am just taking a break. And that is pretty neat. The neatest thing is of course the physical and mental wellbeing of not being hungover. But the really neat thing is my bank account. For once it is not in minus allready which makes me feel calm inside. I might even be able to lay some money to the side which I have not been able to do for years .

My cousins husband was here to day and put up the last curtains so I am gonna take all my clothes off when I finish this blog and walk around my apartment naked for the first time since i moved in. YaY.

Back to the small tv package.

Garden of Serenity

Hallelujah

Jeg vil gerne dele dette med jer: Jeg er med på arbejdet. Jeg er ikke ved at brække mig af travlhed. Det er en rar, behagelig og uvant følelse.

I går havde jeg besøg af en god veninde. Vi lavede mad, drak kaffe og så Borgerservice (søg på Borgerservice Skråplan på youtube, det er sjovt).

Om en time skal jeg til fysioterapi og så skal jeg hjælpe til i receptionen. Der er travlt. Jeg tror, jeg går derned allerede nu, når jeg har korrekturlæst et dokument.

Åh ja, naboen ringede i øvrigt på og begyndte at græde. Jeg skal hjælpe hende i morgen med at skrive et brev, der beder om dispensation til at beholde hendes katte, selvom der står i lejekontrakten, at hun ikke må. Hun snakker så meget, at jeg ikke ved, om jeg nogensinde slipper derfra. Hvis I ikke hører mere fra mig, ved I nu hvorfor. Så er jeg talt ihjel.

Det var et godt liv. Tak fordi I delte det med mig. Kys.

Hallelujah

I gotta share this with you: I'm not behind at work. I am not so busy that I could throw up. It is a nice, pleasent and unknown feeling.

Yesterday a friend came by. We had dinner, drank coffee and watched the Danish tv show Borgerservice. It is funny as hell, but in Danish.

I am going for a message in one hour and then I'll assist the people in the reception because they are busy. Actually I will go there now when I have proof read a document.

Oh yeah the neighbour rang my doorbell last night and started to cry. I have promised to visit and help her tomorrow writing a letter asking for an exemption to keep her two cats even though she is not allowed to by her rental agreement. She talks so much that I don't know if I will ever get out of there. Now you know why, if you won't hear from me again. Then I have been talked to death.

It has been a good life. Thank you for sharing it with me. Kisses

Jeg har prøvet at skrive en blog opsummering af årtiet, men det rammer jo så lidt, så lidt. Der er så meget, der ikke kommer med.

Jeg har virkelig et søvnproblem for tiden. En ting er at jeg har svært ved at falde i søvn, men jeg vågner næsten hver gang mine overboer vender sig i deres seng, fordi den knirker så højt. Hvor er det vildt. Jeg sover med ørepropper, men jeg hader at sove med ørepropper. I god damn hate it. Jeg var så træt i morges at jeg kunne tude. Jeg føler mig virkelig udmattet. Jeg overvejer at sove i stuen i nat for forhåbentligt at sove igennem.

Om et kvarter skal jeg ud af døren. Skal holde velkomsttale for 150 unge mennesker.

I've tried to sum up the past decade in a blog, but I leave out so much that I feel ashamed.

I have a sleeping problem at the moment. I have a hard time falling asleep and when I finally do fall asleep, I wake up every hour each time my above neighbour turn in their bed because it is so noisy. It must be such an old bed. It is crazy. I sleep with ear plugs even though I hate sleeping with ear plugs. I god damn hate it. I was so tired this morning that I could cry. I feel exhausted. I might sleep on the couch in the living room tonight to sleep through.

I gotta go in 10 minutes. Will hold a speech for 150 youngsters.

Ah, her er dejlig roligt på arbejdet mellem jul og nytår. Jeg får besvaret et hav af eksterne e-mails.

Der er stille på telefonerne. Der har været fire opkald mellem kl. 9 og 11.51 og et fåtal af interne e-mails, fordi der er så mange på juleferie. Mmmm juleferie. Jeg misunder jer, der har juleferie, men jeg har haft juleferie de sidste fire år, så jeg klager ikke.

Frokost er kl. 12.30 og jeg har møde med min chef kl. 13. Jeg har spurgt, hvorfor jeg ikke fik lønforhøjelse i år og det vil han gerne mødes om. Jeg har lidt ondt i maven, det må jeg indrømme. Men needless to say føler jeg mig ikke værdsat, når så mange andre kan få lønforhøjelse, men jeg ikke kan. Jeg begynder sikkert at flæbe. Stakkels chef. Jeg gruer for at begynde at flæbe. Gid jeg bare kunne tage det cool.

Jeg trænger virkelig til en fridag. Og et økonomisk frirum. Eller bare økonomisk tæft, for jeg bruger alt for mange penge.
Det album jeg har lyttet mest til i år er Famous Monsters med Misfits og en fandens masse Ramones. Måske jeg skulle prøve at lytte til lidt nyere musik i det nye år.

Ah, it is nice and quiet at work between christmas and new years. I have replied a bunch of external e-mails.

The phones are quiet. I have answered four calls between 9 and 11.54 am and only a few internal e-mails because so many colleagues are on christmas break. Uhmmm christmas break. I envy you and your christmas breaks. But I am not complaining because I have had a christmas break the past four years.

Lunch is at 12.30 and afterwards I have a meeting with my boss. I have asked why I did not get a pay rise and he wants to see me in person. It makes my tummy hurt a wee bit. But needless to say I do not feel appreciated when others get a raise and I don't. God I'll probably start to cry at the meeting. Poor boss. I wish I could just take it ocol.

I really need a day off. And financial space. Or at least just financial flair. I use way too much money.
The album I have listened to the most this year is Famous Monsters by Misfits and a helluva lot of Ramones. Maybe I should try to listen to some new music next year.

Mandag:

Jeg synes, lineuppet til http://www.sonispherefestivals.com/ er fantastisk. Må lige finde ud af hvilket land jeg skal se dem i. Det bliver Sverige eller et af de østeuropæiske (= billigere) lande. Er der nogen, der vil med?

Jeg har i øvrigt fået en støjklage fra min underbo. Hun synes, at min dag starter ekstremt tidligt og hun kan høre mig gå rundt i lejligheden med hælene først og at jeg taber mange ting. Så nu går jeg rundt på listesko i evig angst for at tabe noget. Nederen at man ikke kan gå som man vil i sit eget hjem. Jeg har lyst til at lægge et stykke kage på deres dørmåtte. Et gammelt stykke kage. Med løg på.

Housewarming bliver måske udskudt. Jeg kan ikke se, hvordan jeg skal nå at få lejligheden klar til 15/1. Jeg har stadig et hav af flyttekasser, der står rundt omkring. Fyldte flyttekasser, mind you, og min kælder er allerede fyldt til bristepunktet. Måske jeg rykker housewarmingen en måned og slår den sammen med min fødselsdag.

Der er travlt på arbejde og jeg besvarer e-mails i et væk. Jeg synes bare ikke rigtig, at indbakken bliver mindre. Crap.

Tirsdag:

Trist. En anden værdsat kollega er blevet fyret. Hvor er det trist.

Jeg har en dag, hvor jeg indtil videre har fået en masse fra hånden og klokken er kun 9.52. Excellent.

Må jeg i øvrigt lige diskret fortælle, at jeg HADER UDLÆNDINGE-"SERVICE". De er så rigide og stride at arbejde sammen med. Nogle af dem er selvfølgelig ok, men der er godt nok også nogle af dem, som ikke er til at holde ud. De er så sure og stramme i det, manner. Når de er rigtig stride, føles det som om de får et kick ud af at gøre livet surt for andre med deres sure mails. Tis mig i øret, hvor er det belastende. Nå, gad vide om denne blog nu kan få mig fyret...

Monday:

Oh boy, the line up at http://www.sonispherefestivals.com/ is just fantastic. Gotta figure out what country I'll go to. It'll either be Sweden or one of the eastern european countries. Does anyone want to go?

I also got a complaint from the downstairs neighbour who thinks my day starts extremely early and that she can hear me walk around heels first in the apartment and that she can hear when I drop things. So now I am sneaking around in constant fear of being clumsy and drop things. I sucks that I have to sneak around in my own crib, haha. I think I will leave a piece of cake on their door mat. And onions too.

I might postpone my housewarming. I can't see how I can get it ready in time for 15/1. I still have a ton of unpacked shit everywhere and my basement is already full to the max. Maybe I'll postpone the housewarming for a month and hold a combined housewarming and birthday party.

It's busy at work and I reply e-mail after e-mail. I wish I could see fewer e-mails. It just goes on and on and ooon.

Tuesday:

Sad.. another appreciated colleague has been fired. So sad.

I am having one of those days where I am really efficient and get a lot of stuff done and it's only 9.56 am. Excellent.

May I quitely inform you all that I HATE DANISH IMMIGRATION "SERVICE". They are so rigid and sour to work with. Some of them are of course all right to work with but dear lord som of them are so flippin' annoying because they are so sour and strict. Sometimes I think they get a kick out of making life difficult for others. Pee me in the ear, I think it's annoying as hell and it pisses me off. I wonder if this blog will get me fired...

Sheesh

2009-12-16T02:20:00.000-08:00

Jeg har været til informationsmøde om kommende fyringsrunde. Det mest interessante var datoerne. Fyringssamtaler bliver afholdt d. 13. januar og man bliver indkaldelsen kommer allerede d. 12. januar. Begge dage må man gå hjem bagefter og det er ok at blive hjemme de næste par dage.

Jeg kan godt mærke, det gør mig utryg og det hjælper ikke, at jeg er sulten. Godt det snart er frokosttid.

For helvete det er svært at være motiveret, når fyringstruslen hænger over hovedet på mig. Jeg trænger desperat til noget ferie. Og sol. I det mindste sner det og det er dejligt. Trist at Mugabe også skal nyde den dejlige sne.

I've attended an information meeting about the approaching firing rounds - whats the word in English? Most interesting was the dates. The management will inform us of who is getting fired the 13th of January, but the respective worker will be get the invitation for the meeting already the 12th of January. They say it is ok to leave for the day on both days and to stay at home for a few days after that.

It makes me uncomfortable and it doesn't help that I am hungry too. I am glad that lunchtime is coming up.

Gawd, it is so difficult to remain motivated when I know I might get fired soon. I desperatly need some time off. And sun. At least it knows which is wonderful. Just a shame that a bandit like Mugabe will also enjoy the snow.

More christmas parties

2009-12-15T03:11:00.000-08:00

Jeg er skuffet. Jeg gider ikke gå i detaljer, men jeg er skuffet. Og ked af det.

I øvrigt gik jeg tidligt hjem fra arbejde i går fordi jeg havde det ringe. Jeg tror også, jeg havde feber.

Jeg har det bedre i dag. Pga skuffelsen har jeg det dog pænt ringe i det gamle hjerte, men fysisk har jeg det meget bedre end i går. I går gik jeg dog forbi naboen i naboopgangen for at snakke om morgenradioen, da jeg ikke magtede at skulle være morgengnaven pga vækning kl. 5.45. Det viste sig at være en ældre, tunghør og lidt ensom kvinde, der, og jeg citerer, så godt kan lide at høre Hans Otto Bisgaard. Hun sagde, at hun nok skulle skrue ned og jeg har selvfølgelig totalt dårlig samvittighed over at jeg frarøver en ældre, ensom og tunghør dame mulighed for at ligge i sin seng og vågne op til Hans Otto Bisgaards helt særlige stemme :( Det er en blandet følelse, for det var sgu også helt vildt rart at vågne til mit eget vækkeur i morges. Men for fanden da også, hvorfor skal jeg have så dårlig samvittighed. Kunne jeg dog ikke bare have taget ørepropper i :( Hun burde nu også bruge sine høreapparater, så var problemet ikke opstået.
Hun fik i øvrigt også mit telefonnummer, hvis der nu var noget, og så ringede hun et kvarter efter og snakkede i 40 minutter, indtil jeg kom til at gabe højlydt heheh.

I eftermiddag skal jeg til bestyrelsesmøde og så til julefrokost og jeg kan love jer for, at jeg skal have en ordentlig opstrammer. Måske også knæbeskyttere....

I feel disappointed because I feel like I have been let down. I wont go into detail but I feel disappointed and sad.

Yesterday I left work early because I felt Ill. I think I had a fever.

I feel better today. Well, I don't feel well in this old heart of mine, but physically I feel better than yesterday.

Yesterday after work I went to see the morning radio playing neighbour to talk about the loudness of the radio. It turned out to be an elderly, hearing handicapped and somewhat lonely woman who, quote, really loves to listen to Hans Otto Bisgaard, who is a famous Danish radio host. She said that she will turn down the volume but now I feel really guilty to take away the listening pleasure from an old, deaf and lonely woman. It is a mixed feeling though because I did enjoy waking up to the sound of my own alarm clock. I just wished I didn't feel that damn guilty. Why didn't I just wear those damn earplugs. I guess she could wear her hearing aid and the problem could be solved. I know this because she called me and gossiped for 40 minutes when I had left, haha, untill I accidently let out a loud yawn.

I am going to another christmas party in 1 hour and I promise you this: I am going to have myself a HUGE glas of snaps. Lord knows I need it. That and kneecups...

Family

2009-12-13T13:28:00.000-08:00

English below:
Dagen i dag har jeg tilbragt med familien og det har været en god dag. Jeg glæder mig endnu mere til julen, hvor min moser også bliver inddraget i familiehyggen.
Jeg har ellers surfet en masse i dag og holdt øje med demostrationerne. Jer der kender mig ved godt, hvad jeg synes om masseanholdelserne.
Åh ja men jeg har som sagt surfet en masse og surfede bl.a. forbi denne artikel om en dansk kendis skønhed, Jackie Navarro, der selvom hun er skøn, bare ikke synes, hun er skøn nok... Prøv at se på før og efter billedet - hun er sgu da pænere før. Nå men det er jo bare min personlige smag.
Jeg ser Transformers for første gang og er positivt overrasket over soundtracket. Selve filmen er charmerende, men nok ikke en jeg ser igen ;)
OK, det var alt fra mig og min begivenhedsløse dag. Det er rigtig rar tmed sådan nogle en gang imellem.
Min veninde Sofie og hendes datter kom forbi spontant i aftes og jeg nød det.

I spent today with my family and I really enjoyed it. I can't wait for christmas where my aunt will join in on the family fun.
So I have surfed a lot today and kept an eye out for the Police vs. the demo. You who know me know what I think about the situation. I also surfed by this article on the pretty celebrity dane who is never satisfied with herself and always gets lip implants-stuff stuff and so on. Here is her picture.
I am watching Transformers tonite and the soundtrack is excellent. I probably wont see the movie again even though it is quite charming.
Ok so like NOTHING exciting happened today. I like those days once in a while.
Right I almost forgot, my friend Sofie and her daught stopped by tonite and it was great.

Taget hul på et par bukser

2009-12-12T01:35:00.000-08:00

Ja så har jeg taget hul på et par bukser. Det skete på vej hjem fra julefrokosten, hvor jeg lige faldt på Amagerbrogade på vej hjem, haha. Flot Pernille. Jeg var ellers så glad for de bukser. Nu har jeg ondt i mine blodige knæ, suk, jeg tror også der sidder noget asfalt i såret.
Om lidt vil jeg se Troldspejlet, så gå i bad og så gå ned og handle inden den store demonstration begynder. Dagen i dag står i afslapningens tegn, morgendagen i familiebesøgets tegn.

I've ruined my favorite pair of jeans. I fell last night on the way home from the christmas party at work, haha. I was a bit drunk, I admit. And I landed on my pizza, when I fell haha. My knees hurt now. Oh well.
Now I'll watch the Danish tv programme Troldspejlet, take a shower and then do some shopping before the big demonstration.
Today I'll relax, tomorrow I'll visit family

Wake up late and honey put on your clothes

Det var lidt svært at komme op i morges. Igen ;)
I går vågnede jeg kl. 5.46 fordi overboen hører radio i soveværelset og der er meget lydt i sådan en københavnerlejlighed. Hvis jeg render ind i dem i trappen og falder i snak med dem, vil jeg tilfældigt spørge, om de hører radio om morgenen. Jeg vil ikke brokke mig over det, blot spørge. Så kan det være det hjælper. Og hvis det ikke gør, må jeg ty til ørepropper.

Men tænk hvis jeg slet ikke kunne høre noget. Det havde været forfærdeligt. Tænk en betydning, det ville have for mit sociale liv. Derfor har jeg skrevet under på http://onlineunderskrift.dk/Vis/Skriv%20Under/syvtimer og jeg synes, at du skal gøre det samme :-) Så vidt jeg ved afleverer de underskrifterne d. 15/12.

Jeg glæder mig mere og mere til jul, selvom jeg savner at have pyntet op. Det må vente til næste år.
-
Nogle gange elsker jeg sgu min arbejdsplads. Jeg havde et spørgsmål af ernæringsmæssig karakter, da jeg var forvirret over nogle vitaminer. Så skrev jeg lige en mail til en professor og fik et fyldestgørende svar af en af Danmarks eksperter i min mailboks 40 minutter efter.

Nå men det er sent og jeg har arbejdet her til aften. Møder og julefrokost i morgen. Skål.

--

Oy, it was hard to get out of bed this morning. Again ;)
Last night I woke up at 5.45 am because the neighbour had the radio on on the bedroom and the noise passes right through the walls. I might accidently slip trip and bring it up if I meet them. That might help. I'll just use some earplugs if it doesn't.

I am looking more and more forward to christmas even though I miss the christmas decorations at home and at work. I just have not had the time, really. I'll do it next year. Christmas just isn't the same without it.

Sometimes I just love the place I work. I was confused about some vitamins, wrote an e-mail to one of the professor and bam: 40 minutes later I had a reply from one of the leading experts in Denmark. Yay.

It's getting late and I have been working this evening. So I am off to bed. Tomorrow is full of meetings and christmas party at work. Cheers.

Sart

2009-12-09T10:03:00.000-08:00

Jeg er sart.
En sart blomst, var der engang en sygeplejerske der kaldte mig.
Fx er jeg sart med hensyn til mad. En lyshåret kollega fandt i mandags et sort hår i hendes salat fra buffeten og jeg har haft kvalme og buffetlede siden.
Min arbejdsglæde og -motivation tynges af fyringsskyen der hænger over alle vores hoveder. Jeg håber, vi får svar i starten af næste uge og ikke skal tage frygten med ind i det nye år. Hellere vished.

I det mindste er jeg kun nogle få dage bagud med mailen i dag. Bortset fra de enkelte mails, som er flere uger gamle, men sært nok nægter at besvare sig selv. Lidt ligesom at mine flyttekasser bare ikke er pakket ud af sig selv. Jeg venter og venter, men der sker ikke noget. Sært ;)
Åh så vil jeg her udstede en særlig hilsen til den håndfuld kollegaer, som er guld værd. Love you.

Jeg har i øvrigt 800 kr tilbage til resten af måneden. Det skal nok blive spændende. Godt jeg har lagt penge til side til julegaver. Gad vide om Julemanden opfylder pengeønsker. Og hvorfor vinder jeg ikke den store lotto gevinst? Jeg fatter det ikke.
--
Sjovt så hurtigt som tingene kan ændre sig. Har nu skiftet forsikringsselskab til Alka og sparer 1.000 kr om året på en sumløs indboforsikring med selvrisiko på 1600 kr.

English:
A nurse once called me a delicate flower. And it is true. I am a bit delicate. Especially when it comes to food. One of my blonde colleagues found a black hair on her plate from the buffet at work and I have basically been sick ever since. Seriously, I am normally not the kind of girl who turns down a meal, but damn it, other peoples hair in food I eat is just disgusting.

My joy at work has been very low key the last week because of the fear of me and my colleagues getting fired. I really hope we will know by Monday or Tuesday. I'd rather know than just fear. At least I am productive again and the unreplied e-mails are now only a few days old. And thank heaven for the bunch of colleagues who just makes my day again and again. They mean the world especially now.

Oh yeah and I am screwed financially. I have 800 kr left for the rest of the month. At least I have saved money during the past year so I can afford some christmas present. I wonder if Santa grants money wishes. Oh yeah and why don't I win the Lottery? I just don't get it.

Funny how fast things can change. 1 minute after I published this blog, I was contacted by an insurance company and I have now changed company and will save a thousand kroner each year.

Plans for new years

Nu er det gjort. Nu har jeg bestilt og betalt for en flybillet til Aalborg og tilbage igen. Så skal jeg holde nytår i Nordjylland. Scary shit.

It's been done. I have booked and paid for a flight ticket to Aalborg and back. This means I will celebrate the New Year in Northern Jutland. Crazy shit.

Vain

2009-12-05T02:01:00.000-08:00

I går så jeg Vain. Vain som jeg har hørt i så mange år, men som jeg aldrig troede jeg skulle se live. Men i går så jeg Vain og 1000 tak til Rock The Night for at skaffe dem til København. Vain gjorde det godt, det må jeg sige. Det var fedt at kunne synge med live.

Winger skuffede mig. Og dog. De overraskede mig positivt ved at være tungere live end jeg egentlig havde regnet med. Og vi kan lide det tungt. Red, hot and heavy. Men jeg synes ikke, at bandet spillede godt. Deres rytmesektion var helt af helvede til. Og nogle gange lød det direkte falsk. Og så gik jeg. For første gang er jeg gået fra første række frivilligt. Fordi de stank. Dog var det fantastisk endelig at høre Miles Away.

Nu sidder jeg her med tømmermænd og efter at have brugt for mange penge. Min søde kusine og hendes mand er her og hjælper med at samle reolsystem. Dvs de gør det for mig. Fantastisk. Jeg skal dog snart i bad. Meget snart. Og så er der fest hos Tardini, hvor det også bliver godt at se min gode veninde Sofie, som jeg ikke har set længe.

So yesterday I saw Vain for the first time. Vain the band that I have listened to for so many years. I never thought I would see them live, but yesterday I did thanks to Rock the Night. Vain did a really good job and it was great to sing along live to the songs that fucking rock!

Winger disappointed me? Well yes and no. They were far more heavy live than I expected and lord knows we like it hard and heavy. But I thought they didn't really play well together. The rythm section failed. And sometimes it even sounded out of tune. So I left. For the first time I had to leave front row because the band sucked. But it was great to hear Miles Away live. I must have listened to that song like a hundred times.

Now I am at home and hungover. I think I'm still drunk too. My cousin and her husband is here and giving a hand. I really enjoy having them over. I love my whole familiy. Tonight I'll be celebrating my friends birthday and I am so happy that my other friend Sofie is coming too. I haven't seen her for far too long.

Take care. I love you.

Kors jeg er gammel i dag.
I aftes sad jeg småtrist og småapatisk i min lænestol.
Indtil Kristina spontant kom forbi. Og så var der ellers fest.
Det ene glas kølige hvidvin tog det andet og et enkelt lille glas velsmagende grand marnier blev det også til. Og et par 47'ere.
Og masser af 80'er og 90'er hits på youtube. Kris Kross, Technotronic, Van Halen, D-A-D, Bros, Climie Fischer, Neneh Cherry, Ramones og mange flere.
Nå men i dag er jeg gammel og træt. Rynken i panden kan ikke længere glattes ud. Smilerynkerne omkring øjnene er nu ikke kun når jeg smiler.
Men det var sjovt i går, hvor vi legede Verdensdamer på Jaguaren.

Christ, I'm old today.
Last night I was sitting at home feeling a bit blue and apathic.
Until Kristina dropped by... then it was party time!
One chilled glas of white wine followed the other. And a small glass of tasty Grand Marnier found it's way too. And a few bottles of christmas brew.
And we heard loads of 80's and 90's hits on youtube. Kris Kross, Technotronic, Van Halen, D-A-D, Bros, Climie Fischer, Neneh Cherry, Ramones and many more.
Anyway: Today I am old. The wrinkles are here to stay.
But how fun it was yesterday, when we ruled the old brown pub the Jaguar.

two things

To store ting:
Min gamle lejlighed er udlejet fra 1/12, hvilket betyder, at jeg ikke skal betale dobbelthusleje i december måned. Fantastisk! Det er lige omkring 4000 kr der er sparet.

Jeg har bestilt tid til forundersøgelse if. med en synskorrigerende øjenoperation d. 5. januar.
Jeg må så ikke gå med linser i 14 dage inden, hvilket er rimelig nederen for min forfængelighed fx nytårsaften.

Jeg har også haft besøg af en coach studerende og det gik fint. Sød og motiverende.

Two greater things:
I have finally been informed that my old apartment has been rented out from December 1st meaning that I do not have to pay double rent for December. yes sir! 4000 kr in my pocket, yessire.

I have made an appointment to a pre-operation consultation at an eye clinic because I consider getting an eye operation so I do not have to wear contact lenses or glasses anymore. I am not allowed to wear contact lenses for 14 days prior to the consultation so that is gonna be weird. Especially for my vanity on new years eve. Oh well can't have it all

Yo people, English below

Hej folkens. Dette er min første offentlige blog. Den er ikke super spændende sådan lige med det samme, for der er ikke så meget nyt. Jeg er nemlig gået i sump. God, gammeldags, afslappende, trætte sump.
Jeg havde en lang fredag, hvor jeg passede begge mine jobs og var på arbejde samlet fra kl. 8 til 23. Læg dertil en times transport hjem og en opvågning lørdag kl. 7 og så er der lagt an til en dag med synlig søvnmangel.

Men lørdag endte med at blive den hyggeligste dag i selskab med morlil, min kusinde og hendes mand og min far. Blandt andet i Ikea, hvor jeg fandt reolsystemET, som jeg skal have. Min kusine og hendes mand har virkelig styr på det der Ikea. Bagefter kørte de med os i Biva, hvor jeg fandt sovesofaEN. Nu skal det bare lige købes.

Bagefter spiste vi god mad hos farmand, så columbo og jeg fik også tiltusket mig en morfar. Så var det hjem til Amager og så kom en ven forbi til et par øller inden han skulle videre på værtshus. Men så var det lige at min fine kollega lokkede mig til Magtens Korridorer med en gratis billet. MK var på hjemmebane i Vega og det var helt rørende, hvordan publikum sang med. Bagefter tog jeg på Jaguaren til en enkelt og så var det hjemad igen. Jeg ELSKER at bo på Amager og så centralt. Totalt bonus.

I dag har været totalt sumpet. Virkelig. Jeg er helt træt og tung i mit hovede. Jeg sidder som en zombie slash grøntsag og tænker ingen dybe tanker, that's for sure. Jeg kom endda til at sove over mig og missede min vasketid, da jeg skulle have mig en lille skraber.

I morgen venter en ny dag på fyringsfrygtende arbejde og så en tid hos kiropraktoren og så et besøg af en coachstuderende. Spændende!

Hiya gang, so this is my first public blog. All though there is not much to write. I can write about my weekend though, which has been nice.
Friday I worked from 8 am to 11 pm because I have two jobs. I was home after midnight, fell asleep around two hours later and woke up Saturday morning at 7 am. You can imagine how tired I was Saturday.

Saturday was really nice and cosy and spent with my familiy. I hung out with my parents, my cousin and her husband. We went to Ikea and I found THE furniture which I am desperately needing. After that they drove me to Biva and I found THE couch. All left to do now is buying it.
After that we visited my dad, who made a nice dinner. We saw Columbo and I even managed to sneak on to the couch for a wee nap.

Then I went home and a friend came over for a couple of beers. The my colleague K called me and convinced me to go with her and her friends to a gig with Danish rockers Magtens Korridorer. The gig was good and it was touching to see them play in their hood. The crowd sang along a lot and it was quite touching.

After that I went back to Amager and had a beer and a fernet branca at Jaguaren. And then it was pizza time and home time.

Today Sunday has been lazy as hell. I really feel like a zombie slash couch potato. Tomorrow is work day again. The atmosphere at work is kind of weird because 130 people gotta be fired before christmas. We just gotta hang in there. Then I am off to the chiropractor and then I will get a visit from a coach student. That'll be interesting.
