I just saw one of the most obscure things ever on danish television. ..

There was a picture of two garden gnomes and then the speaker said:

"On this day in the year 1002, the english king Ethelred ordered the killing of all danish men in England, it became known as the St. Brice Day massacre. Today we remember this day with a picture of two danish garden gnomes who have made their way into a garden just north of Ipswich. We will leave the picture on for a few moments"

After 5 sec. the two garden gnomes explode and then it switches to War of the Worlds.

I will remember The St. Brice Day massacre with German power metal!

A Conspiracy

I don't know what google and the EU are up to, but they are definitly up to something and I expect it to be evil!

I was using google translate to a pice of text from one of my museology books: "The museum aids interpretation by the arrangement and labeling of artefacts, by its rules of acces and the ways in which it frames objects." and what I got in Danish was this: "

Museet hjælpemidler fortolkning af den ordning, og mærkning af kulturgenstande, efter EU's regler om tilbehør og de måder, som det rammer objekter."

At first look a good translation only two mistakes, the first minor, but the second is outright sinister!

1. "aid" should have been translated to "hjælper" (helps), but is instead tranlated to "hjælpemidler" (remedys of help)
2. "its" should have been "dets", but instead it is translated to "EU's"

So google is advocating that museums should not lable objekt after their own system or rules, but by rules set by the European Union.

Either google are in league with the EU or maybe google tranlsate have the ability to predict the future.

Yet Another Teen Movie

I do like the fact that digital TV gives a better picture than before, but it also has its disadvantages. We have a rather poor antenna, whenever there is a bit of bad weather we get a poor reseption. Before that meant that we got a poor quality picture and sometimes sound as well, but only in cases of extreme storm did it become unwatchable. . . Now it handles the minor cases of rain and wind much better (it does not affect the TV), but as soon as gets just a bit of proper wind it is impossible to watch.

Would You Buy A Cow ???

It is eletion time and that means lots of fun! Especially because it is the lokal election, that means that alot of weird parties are running. . .

Here is my top 3:

1.Nihilistisk Folkeparti (Nihilistic Peoples Party)

2.Schiller Instituttets Venner (Friends of the Schiller Intitute)

3.Velfærds Partiet (The Welfare Party)

Nihilistic Peoples Party has by far the best posters and slogans, just to mention a few "Nothing matters, but cute animals" written on a pink poster with a picture of a baby seal (a respons to how the country is in an oproar because of mink farming, but don't seem to mind the fact that we are getting more poor people) and the headline "Stop the church bells" followed by the text "Fuck your salvation, we are hung over" and their gennerel posters with the people you can vote for says "vaste your vote on. . ."

Have you heard of the Schiller Institute? Basicly they are working for new and more fair economical world order, which is very nice, but their posters are always funny. Last election their posters just said "We Need A Magnetic Train Across Storebælt", this year they say "Only a new economical system can save Denmark". . . From what I have heard they are borderline sect. The best description I can come up with is: They are to economics what scientology is to religion.

The Welfare Party or The Welfare List (I am not quite sure what it is called) is basicly just this guy who always run, but never gets elected (normally not a member of a party). He is known as "The Sheriff from Amager" because he is always wearing a cowboy hat, a sixshooter, a deck of cards and a Sheriff star on his posters, together with the catchy slogan "John Erik Wagner, det gavner" (John Erik Wagner, it benifits)
Apparently he is fighting for the rights of the dyslexic people. I guess the party name is just an atempt to get more votes. . .

I never said the word "rainbow"

My hair has reached an unfortunate length, basicly I look like I should have a role in Dawson's Creek or Beverly Hills, 90210.

I hate my life

I am getting nowhere with my bachelor project even though it takes up all my studying time, this means I am never prepared for museology and that will be a problem as I have to hand in my petitum soon.

I haven't been payed by the museum for months. The first few months it was do to a mistake of mine, but I had nothing to do with not getting payed this month. This means I have no overview of my financial situation and had to lend money from my mother. . .
Also this means that am still not 100% sure about the Boston trip. . .it seems very unlikely that I can afford it, but maybe, just maybe I will get enough money to go.

Olympics

It has been impossible to get arround Copenhagen the last few days due to the meeting of the olympic comitee, ofcourse it did not help that The Obamas, Oprah and Pele dropped by as well.

Seriously I don't get why we want to host this sort of thing (we are also hosting a climate summit later this year) when it clearly demand alot of extra hours from the police, the same police we are always told are undermanned and overburdened.

That being said it is kind of funny to have these semi-big events in town.

A danish soldier of the special forces are publishing a book about his career, the military is trying to stop the book from being published. Apparently they think it can jepordize the security of danish soldiers abroad, but is that really reason enough for stopping the truth?

Ofcourse it is far from sure that there is anything in this book of the revealing sort and it is just an attempt to make alot of money, then you could argue that the "truth" factor is non-existing.

A story about an egg

After a very succesful lasagna abend in our house (we had made something like 7 lasagnas and invited around 20 people over), we went to a crouded bar. After a short while William and I realised that we had to get up relatively early today if we wanted to get anything done before going to Norway (we are doing a 1 day trip to Norway), while we were biking home a car drove past us and just in that second I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder. I stopped my bike and found out that my shoulder was all sticky. . .the creeps in the car had egged me!

Seriously. how sad a person are you if you drive arround in the middle of the night and throw eggs at random people?!

The Spoiled Brat

My parrents must have agreed to sabotage my quest for a univeristy degree! My father gave me an e-season ticket to liverpoolfc.tv and my mother gave me an X-box including fifa09 as an "extra" gift. I spend most of the day watching telly on liverpoolfc.tv and as soon as I get my x-box hooked up, there will simply not be time for studying.

My Birthday

So for my birthday I have decided to do something rather sad. . . I am going to sit in the middle of the night drinking cheap asti while being online! I don't know why, but it seemed a fitting way to go into my mid-twenties. (yes I would argue that 23 is early twenties)

It is my birthday and I want you guys to listen to this amazing music that I have found especially for you guys:

First we have "Speak" (Hungarian Rapper)

Then we have a song that my roomate is crazy about

</lj-embed>

and finaly my favourit a Norwegain song. . . it is called "Se der går en zebra" (Look there goes a zebra), I cannot find out if it a young boy or a girl singing. Anyways it is amazing, both music and lyric ;-)

The Out games have just finished, I missed it unfortunately.

The outgames was finished with the Copenhagen Pride Parade, the biggest in danish history. The thing that really amazed me was the car driving around with the slgan. "Bibliotek.dk Bøsser Læsser Også Bøger" AKA "Libary.dk Gays Also Read Books"

University stuff again

Next semester I am going to be studying "Enlightenment and the general public: Europe and Denmark in the 16th century", this is also the subject of my BA paper. . .

It seems to be a quite difficult course and the professor has a reputation for being tough, but hopefully it will be alright. Anyways he just send out an e-mail saying we had to read 2 books before the classes start in september.

Oxford

I have registered for the Oxonmoot, but I am in the same situation as last year, I simply cannot say if I actually will be able to go. It is very annoying, especially because I wanted to take part in the supper of the final day, but I cannot afford to pay for both the meal and the registration. (in case I don't go)

Wanna Date?

Why! Oh why must I sit inside writing this damned paper, when the weather is so brilliant!

It is the second day in a row where it has been around 25 C and I have only had time for short walks, yesterday I missed the Copenhagen Carnival. . . I really love it, especially when the weather is great. Back in the days it used to be the greatest Carnival in northern Europe, but now it is only on very sunny days that everybody participates.

I am going to work for 3 hours and then I am going for a long walk in the sun. . .otherwise I will go crazy.

Beaver is not my name

YAY!

I just got an e-mail from the university, informing me that I have been assigned a "mentee". Basicly it is an exchange student that I have to help get settled in Copenhagen. The good thing is that I am only obliged to greed the student at the airport and tell them a bit about things work, that is good in case I really dislike the person. Obviously I am planing on doing more than that, but let see. . .

His name is Andreas and comes from the Potsdam University in Germany.

He should arrive in the start of August, so it might affekt my Finland plans, but I will let you guys now very soon. I have already send an e-mail asking when exactly he will be arriving.

I guess I should have mentioned this to you, but I kind of forgot about it. . . I simply thought that I would not be selected as "mentor" (just like last semester).
