Many cultures

Last monday i saw an amazing play about Frida Kahalo´s life it was on spanish with mexican slang and ingrown culture humour ( it was sepose to have a translation, but it wasent any, and i surly dont speak spanish, exept from una coppa de champagne;).
But i felt like a dork, when everybody were laughing and i didn´t get it. But i´ve got a lot out of wathcing the play, colorful costumes, lots of music and an exelent preformance of the actors. When they did this play in Mexico, it was done in the house Diego and Frida lived in real live on all three flours, and tha audience was given a piece of dooh to make a tortillia.

There was a couch surfer dinnerparty on thuesdaynight at Silases place and Hadar cooked beautiful indian food, spicy and tasty, we were 16 people from diffrent countrys that didnt know eachother from before, but it was so much fun, exept from a girl spilled redwine over me and the couch and then i spilled redwine on the flooor, so classy ;)

Last night i went to the mist amazing consert ever and ever, ever, with the unbeliveble Arcade Fire, i was blown away and i didnt want the evening to end ever. first of all very inpressive track record and a cover of a violent femmes song that i love (poor them next to me, i sang quite loud on that one. The visuel were wicked, the coolest i´ve seen exept on a Kraftwerk and Jean- Michel Jarre some years back. The band was jumping and dancing all over, the audience adored them, the only down side was the sound, but there is usually really crappy sound in K.B. Hallen here in Copenhagen. Arcade Fire is my new favoritte band.

All the best from an happy camper :)

Happy times :)

Handed in the thesis yesterday, was printing it out at 6 o´clock in the morning, everybody at school were so reliefed, it was really nice to be abel to catch up with all my friends there. Went to a coffiehouse with my girls afterworlds, i still wasent able to eat( you how knom me well, should realice there, how stressed i was) had a ice coffie and som fruits. Bought some clothes in H&M and had an aromatic facial treatment (because i am worth it:). My skin is so soft, that i cant stop stroaking my cheak. My parents gave me a nice serprice :)

In the evening i was sepoed to go out with friends from scholl to have christmas bear. Because it was J_dag (christmas_day), by that imean chritmas bear lounge day, there is a big party in all the bars in Denmark, were people are dressed up in blue christmas clothes and so on . But Ásta came over and we played card games with Bjöggi, very chilled and realaxed night, and i sleapt for 11 or 12 hours (didnt have any sleap between thursday and friday.)

Woke up today and had recived a packet from Eva, made my day. Going out with May and some more friends tonight, M.W.B. party at Vega. To morrow bodypump followed by spinning (should cure my hangovers) and then a cosy night with Álfrún and Viktor.

I hope you will have a wonderfull weekend as well.

Big Kiss from Copehagen

It has been a beautiful but extremely cold day to day.
First of all that is going to be a election on the 13 of November, i cant vote because i am a foreigner, but i hope and pray that we get a new government, enough is enough.

In the centre of town a huge truck from Carlsberg, blocked Købmagergade from Skindergade, we waited patiencely for it to move and then when it finally did, we started to move away, but then the driver backed (and went straight for it, not giving the people behind the car change to move)so my bicycle got stuck in some hooks on the back of the car, and then made a bicyclers domino of the ones standing outside a store, in was quite shooked after this. I started to pick up all the bikes, and a girl came out of the store and helped me, she had witnessed what happen t, sweet girl, she made my day.

My main story of today is that i have a wonderful friend named Anna and she is fantastic talented, one of the amazing things she can do is knitting, and Alfrun (another great friend)brought the sweater to me from Iceland, i got it today, i have to show them to the world.

Ástarthakkir til Önnu minnar, ég er svo ánægd, taaaaaakkkkkkkkkkkkk

Have to admit, i am week for pop music, this is the hit in Denmark right now



Dalma Líf, named after Dalmatians dogs and Eva Líf, she turned very old in guinnepig years, she was adopted for while (i thought for a moment that i wanted to move to Reykjavik again) were she saved a young girl for a big trauma. Everyone loved her, even people how are not normally into small animals.
R.I.P.

The possibillity that it was, Friday the 13 instead of Saturday, this cold October day. Well actually it started in Canada, when I’ve got a mail that said Manu Chao was having a concert in October, so i asked a good friend to get us tickets, and she did that darling. Well i always forget to write stuff down because i have so much faith in my memory ;)
So in my mind Manu Chao was on the 18 of Oktober instead of the 13 (maybe I got confused with the Beirut concert 18 of November)
One day when i was sitting with the computer i got a mail that National Bank (Thomas Dybdal) and Magnet were having a concert on the 13 of October, i got so exsidet and bought a ticket for me and a dear friend as his birthday pressie and i was really pleased with my self untill i talked to my friend that had our Manu Chao tickets, but it worked out anyway, then my friend that i was going to concert with had an emergency in the family so he would probably not make it. Then I found someone to come with me instead. Then it looked like my friend would make it anyway, then Magnet cancelled from the gig, because of illness in the family, so we are going to Mugison instead in November. But it ended up with that the girl going with my friend to Manu Chao instead of me couldn’t make it anyway, so I’ve got to go to Manu Chao, it was very festive concert and i deeply regret that i didn’t wear sport bra, because there was lot of dancing and jumping involved.

I´ve put some pictures from Gro´s birthday party, a yummie Chocolate mousse cake and beautiful and tasty tapas, ive put pictures from the party into a folder @ fodki.

The Gym...

I have witnessed some dodgy things in the shower, some female actually brush their teeth in the shower, and then at the same time shaving the intimate area. Sometomes i close my eyes during the shower, so i can be spared with those visions.

Today i went to a spinning class, and the music was ok, and all over a good hour. But when i was going to blowdry my hair, á young girl (was using all the mirror , by standing upfront to it). She said that she was using the plug after a little while, and i said that i could use it in the meantime. And i took the plug out from the wall, before she was finished, then i said that worked out fine and smiled at her, and she totally ignored me.

There is a slite problem with my crus(lower leg)the muscel on the right leg is much wider then on the left side. What to do???????

Friends

I am so lucky to have many great friends, spread around the globe, and i couldnt imagine live without them.

Love this song and the video is amazing, i think it will be me and some friends 40+ years into the future ;)

My mind cant follow.

Well again i though i was 18 again, went out 4 night in a row, Sóla and Steinthór have been casting sparkles on the Cph life. But it was a indie night, Electro, house and hip-hop and reggae music. I´ave done my first interview for my paper. I managed to demonstrate against the cut downs, next year. There were about 70.000 people on the streats of Copenhagen to show support. Agla invited my to a concert with Pétur Ben and Audur Arnalds, fantastic acts fro Iceland. It was quite chilled atmosphered, and i did my not so quiet sneezes, and had all the crowd laughing at me, and comments from the stage.

Hope this will wear off me

This is Of Montreal, doing a cover on a Peaches track, not a good quality video, but you get a feeling of how it must been to attend that gig.

Canadiere er verdens flinkeste
Ny meningsmåling viser, at folk fra Canada viser alle andre baghjul, når det gælder venlighed. Australiere og spaniere er også populære.
Af Tommy Heisz

Canadiere er de flinkeste i verden.

Det viser det seneste Anholt Nation Brands Index – en meningsmåling foretaget af Simon Anholt, der udøver uafhængig rådgivningsvirksomhed for regeringer flere steder i verden.

26.000 mennesker i 35 forskellige lande er blevet spurgt, hvordan de oplever folk fra andre lande.

Og her er der bred enighed om, at canadierne bare er alle tiders.

På de næste pladser finder man australiere og spaniere.

Top 5 på Anholt Nation Brand Index: ser sådan ud

1. Canada

2. Australien

3. Spanien

4. New Zealand

5. Italien

Sisdte uge blev der forhindret et terrormål her i København, det er jo super at P.E.T. gør sit arbejde. Men jeg er så træt af den amerikaniserde udvikling i verden d.v.s. at krige, kæmpe, os imod dem osv. Det er jo mange flere facetter ex. hvorfår ikke få fat i de unge mennesker før det går så langt at de bliver hjernevasket af extremister. Dette er blevet påpeget af Manu Saren (Politiker i Det Radikale Venstre) hvor han påpeger at lærere, pædagoger og S.S.P. medarbejdere skal trænes i at kunne se fare signalerne og gøre noget forebyggende arbejde. Det er vist et projekt i Gladsxe som andre komuner skulle tage op.

Hygge med Siri og Rikke

Det er så skønt at være tilbage i københavn og møde sine venner igjen. Havde en dejlig dag med Siri og Rikke som innebar H&M, Marokansk the salong, rundetårn og en dejlig tapas resturant.

The Green Man

My friend Jelena in Vancouver send me with this green soilder, and told me that i had to find a high place to let him jump. We flew together to Norway, because he wanted to jump from Holmekollen (Olympic ski jump place). But because of lack of time we didnt make it.

He chilled a little bit at a thea salong before his jump




Now he is on his way to be airborne in Copenhagen :)

Good bye Canada i will miss you

We went back to Vancouver on the thursday, we got to sit next to eachother, that was great but we had a nazti driver, so when we got to Vancouver very tired and with to much stuff, Ben was so sweat to pick us up, Chinatown adventure and a consert with Au Revoir Simone and a club afterwords with Jelena, Jonas, Christa and Joe. It was amzing consert but rather boring aerobicks music at the club. My last day i went to Bowen island by my self, but all my friends went tro the naked beach, i have to go there next time. Jelena made beautiful food for us, it was a little weird, because i knew i was leaving. Friday i shoped the last presents and went to Jelenas work, i was quite strong, but as i was carring my suitcases out and saying good bye to Nemo i started to cry. In the airplane the tairs kept on floating down, in my pillow and i was a big mess, i was sitting next to Penny that had it the same way, now in Heathrow on my way to Copenhagen.
