I hope everyone had a nice new year eve - I did. It was a really good one this year.
I am finally done with the "rotten assignment" - it was so great to get that over with!

Right now my boyfriend is messing around with his brand new computer - our first Vista pc, so everything is a bit strange.
I am trying to concentrate on my readings, but it is kind of hard because the other computer is more interesting then the wars of the 19th century. Well I think tea might help... so that is it for now.

Happy New Year

I woke up at around 4 a clock this morning and I just could not fall a sleep again. I guess the holiday sprites have woken me up. Now I am listining to Christmas radio at sky radio. It is very fitting for this hour - beautiful and quite. So I am sitting here, not knowing what to do with the time until the sun rise and smiling.

Oh how I love Christmas! I love to see all of my family and to see them smile and be happy. I am really looking forward to people opening my gifts - I think I found some good ones. I love giving gifts - I love seeing people's faces light up then they open them.

Marry Christmas everyone - I hope it is jolly

I don't know what it is about this assignment that just make me want to turn away and do anything else then that - even wash cloths or read my theory of science books witch I normally find very boring. Yesterday I ended up over at our institute library in order to get anything done. I don't know if it is because it is an assignment and I always hate to write assignments, but it fells like it is worse then normally. Perhaps it is because I am afraid that it will be ordinary and boring - perhaps even banal. I have the felling that my subject has been chew on so much that there is no meat left and now it is too late to change curse and I always figure out that kind of things to late because I am so bad at getting started with projects. I almost always get done at time and I normally do a pretty good job - not a fantastic job but a pretty good one never the less - my teachers tend to like my style and tell me that I make interesting observations. I know that this is properly just another  displacement activity - I am very good at that by the way, but I need to get this off my chest and my sweetheart isn't here to hear my grumpiness - the worst thing about this assignment is that we have to write it over christmas and I know that I will be grumpy a lot of the next moth and a half because of this - and now you think - she could just get it over and done with it couldn't she? I properly could, but I know I wouldn't because I know my self way to well. Everyone else seem to have got more done then me - but it is properly just me being paranoid - I am sure other people are as bad at this as me. I get go now and write that stupid synopsis - witch I don't want to write - it is not my way to work - and I am sure it healthy for me to write it. 

but I have had a lot on my mind and most of the things has been things I didn't fell like blogging for one reason or another, but lets not dwell with that.

I am writing today because I have discovered the lovely fabulous world of pod-casts + I have found my mp3 player once more - I had forgot I had it - I am not really a head phone kind of person. I have not only discovered pod-casts (and some of you migth think - man she sis a slow one - and maybe I am), I have discovered two shows by a man called Dan Carlin ; a history show and a political show - and they are both great. They force you to think to take your ideas up to re-considerations - to think of the world in new and interesting ways. I can strongly recommend these to shows: Common Sense (the political show) and Hardcore History. He is not a historian or a politician but a journalist, but he do got a very well informed and interesting point of view - but take care he is addictive. So turn in to itunes or his website and find the cast - I am sure you will enjoy it.

Otherwise I can tell that some of my friends (incl. my sister - who I consider a friend) and me baked some of our christmas cookies this weekend and it was super cozy and nice as always - it is kind of a tradition.

I have to run - I need to do some studying tonight but I want to catch a little more Dan Carlin first so I better go, so I can turn it on again.

I finally got around to updating my website, something I have kept putting of for a moth now. So it felt really good to upload everything. I just needed to take previews of the skins I already had, so one would have though it would have been a quick thing to do, but it ended up taking hours *sigh* - I could do it quicker if I didn't want to make a new back drop for each and every preview, but I love to do it, so...

My sister, her boyfriend, my sweetheart and me visit Aros (Århus art museum) yesterday. There was a magical exhibition by Mariko Mori. I have never seen real 3D movies before. She had made one and it was really something - even magical. After that we ended up shopping for dinner and making/eating lasagne. It was pretty cosy, though Julie (my sister) was a bit ill, so they went home early.

I hope everyone else had a good weekend

Then I woke up this morning me head felt like a stuffed red pepper. I felt like I got both hangovers and a heavy and evil cold. Now I knew I couldn't possibly have a hangover as the drinking last night had only included a single beer and a soda and bucket loads of steaming hot tea, so my discomfort had to be a bad cold - properly from wearing to thin a coat last night.

Creeping out of bed, felling miserable I ended up with a muffin, tea and the book I borrowed from Simon Saturday, I ended up on the sofa. (Please excuse the extremely long sentences tonight - I just fell like writing as I think - in long flows) The book turned out to be pretty damn good - and I shouldn't really be surprised as both JC and Simon (who both have an exalent taste in books) has insured me that it wound. And it is not like I haven't read Neil Gaiman before, cause I have and I liked it before. So there is really no reason at all for me to be baffled by how good the book was, but well - I guess one can all ways get amazed by talent then it slap one in the face. And now you are thinking will she ever tell what book she read? And well I better - it is not nice to keep people on tenterhooks (love that expression by the way) is it? Well the book was Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman (Who also wrote Neverwhere and American Gods). If you don't know the man, then you are missing out on something really good and you should get your self a copy of one of his books - they are danm good. He does not only writes so you want to quote him to no end. He also let the language grow and blossom. At the same time his plots hold you enthralled and makes you turn the next page just to see how the story will go from here, to see which strange path he will take you down next. I really loves his take on the supernatural, on gods and on magic - it is so utterly unique and fascinating. We see what we see not because it is so but because we expect it to be so. Everyday 5000 people experience a one-in-a-million even - isn't that a fascinating thought?

Well enogh about good books I am sure you want to hear how the Halloween party went as well. Well I was stunted by how many people that showed up - really we were about twice as many as I had imagined as a result where were no my any means room in our flat. So people ended up standing in the kitchen and out on the balcony. It ended up being more crowed and loud then I normally like a party. It was fun and it was nice seeing people - don't get me wrong, but I like small crowds so much better then large ones. But everyone seemed to have a good time or so they tell me ;) so I guess it was a good party. Our muffins turned out great btw.

I better get going - I want to order some books from the uni library tonight so I better do it while I am still awake

This blogging thing isn't normally my thing, but now I got a user here, so I thought I might as well give it a try - it is not like I can sleep anyway.

And why can't she sleep you might think. I just got home from a film club event - and it was great! I just became a member of a small film club here in Århus Slagterhal 3 or "Butcher's Workshop 3" (roughly translated). They host unusual movies events - like Hyper Japanese Night witch was my first event there. Tonight the event was Asian Police Night. They showed Partyhouse Hero (1990) and Yo-Yo Girl Cop (2006) - any they were not very good movies - if you are looking from an artistic point of view - witch we weren't. They were so funny - if you by some odd reason get the change to see them - by all means do! We laughed hard and long. They were not well made or had a great script, but they were great entertainment - mostly by being so asian/alien and so stereotypical that you couldn't stop laughing. Partyhouse Hero even gave us a silly insight of how the stereotype of homosexual men was in Hong Kong in the 1980s :D
I really wonder how the crazy dudes who runs the club finds such crazy movies.

As you all know halloween was Wednesday this week, so my sister and I hosts a halloween party Saturday. We have done so the last two years. We get our friends to dress up and bring candy and booze, then we feed them cakes (muffins, pies and what ever we can think of). I still don't know what  to dressing up as - I am thinking 1920s lady, mostly because I have the costume, but I hope I can figure something better out before Saturday. My sister will show up here tomorrow after work and we will make our own Mr. Pumpkin and bake the pie. How do you celebrate your halloween?

I think I will stop for now, but I hope I will come back with more soon - this is fun.
