A few days ago I read Honkie Town Redux’s entry about how he came to be called Spike. Pretty funny, how a short incident can set a mark you for life. You just have to be at the wrong place at the wrong time, and you have yourself a haunting nickname. Actually it was pretty […]

Finally managed to pull myself together and update the 2007 gallery. Nothing special there, just some random shots from Aalborg and my recent whereabouts. Find the 2007 gallery here or click the link in the top of the blog.

The daylight is picking up in the morning again, and so is my mood. Denmark can be extremely gloomy in the winter since the daylight breaks at 8.45am when it is worst. In the same period the sun sets at 3.45pm which basically keeps you in the dark when you are not working. I work […]
Anna Nicole Smith is death. No more witty Anna Nicole Smith show… No more I-wanna-be-Marylin postures. No more lucky millionaires. I just want to cry.
I learn new stuff about Chinese and in particular my wife every day. The other day I was wondering what some dry tea-leaves were doing on the bathroom table, but forgot to ask C. When something strange like that happens, I have learned to ask before cleaning it up. As expected I forgot to ask […]

If you, like me, have no friends at all and therefore had no one invite you to get a Gmail account, you will find delight in the fact that it is now open to the public. I scooped: joecool200 [AT] gmail [DOT] com Unfortunately the more fitting variant ‘joecool’ was taken, so I’ll be using […]

Today it just came to me how much ridiculous info we humans keep inside our heads. I bet you know what I mean. Read on. I can’t remember what tasks I finished yesterday if my life depended on it, but somehow the lead actors in Nightrider and Airwolf came scarily easy to me. It’s just […]
1/1-2007 our department were split up into two new teams. This Tuesday the physical move started. Half of the old team are now in Human Ressource and moves to their new “cell”. Their new room needs a bit of tidying up before completely ready if you ask me. For one some cords hanging from the […]
Monday C took the 2nd of 5 exams needed to complete the obligatory Danish course. She had to do both written and oral tests, and had to wait until today to hear the result. It was a pretty gloomy wait, but today she was told she passed. C has been nervous since before Christmas, and […]

A new year has begun, and the last days I have thought a bit about it with the bonus of hindsight. In short it was an exciting, educational, wonderful and a horrible year to me. Even though it in general may have been one of the best years of my life, it really brought some challenges and worries too. […]
Dear coughing old woman behind the concrete wall, Are you all right? Do you know that before we moved to this apartment, we had plenty of annoying noise from our neighbours? Do you also know that this new apartment is much less noisy and that until recently we enjoyed exactly that? The 2 first months […]

Finally a real upgrade and not just a patch. It sure does look interesting. Find it here Update: Beware of this error. I got it and it is annoying as hell. Update II: Fixed it (I hope). It must have been one of the below mentioned plugins that messed it up. Don’t want to dig deeper, as […]
Yesterday I received an email from a reader of this blog. A Chinese girl, who was interested in knowing my idea about the difference in perspective and personality between Chinese and Danish girls. The question made me ramble on, and think hard about the subject. This is my reply to her (slightly edited to keep […]
…who is getting more and more annoyed with Madonna lately? I’ve never been much of a Madonna fan, but recently it has turned ugly. I mean for one: When you walk like Tina Turner isn’t it a sign that you are a bit too old to wear high heals on a stage floor. I remember […]

A few days ago one of my friends and I were talking as a common acquaintance dropped by. My friend asked the acquaintance about her Christmas. The question you ask pr. reflex to be polite, but you really don’t want to know. The acquaintance is new to him, and he didn’t know what was in […]

As I was getting the pulse down from a hard day’s work, I zapped through a few channels only to end up at the Letterman show. He is not really my style, but it’s been years since Leno was aired here in Denmark, so Letterman it was. One of the guests was George Clooney promoting […]
