Change ‘Spidey’ with ‘a total loser’ and you get the picture. Just to spite Tim I just HAD to take the Superhero Quiz and get… well… Your results: You are Spider-Man Spider-Man 85% Hulk 70% Green Lantern 70% Superman 55% Supergirl 50% Robin 50% The Flash 50% Catwoman 45% Batman 35% Iron Man 35% Wonder […]
Finally the much awaited sequel to Battle of Middle Bed is here. I bring you: The battle for middle bed II – The two pillows My patience has paid of. Now I have proof of my wife’s evil invasion plans of my side of the bed. Spot the problem in this picture (mind that I […]

For all you out there, who use WordPress, this could be helpful if your blog is being raped by spambots. I recently installed this plugin which generates a random code when people post comments. It seems to work, and so far it is flawless too, unlike the old method (Gatekeeper) which I believe must have […]

Wooohooo! Next year in March, C and I are attending a concert with no other than Shakira. Kojak will tag along, and I fear he will drool on my shoes during the show. I guess it sounds like nothing special for most residents of the western world, but to someone from Aalborg, this is huge. […]
You can put it in the newspaper and you can send her an email. You can air it on the telly in good time and give her a phone call. Even if I make a regular DEFCON1 countdown the last 15 minutes, one thing is for sure: It will be a huge surprise to C […]
Warning: The following entry has plenty of nerdish content. Shelter your eyes and turn back…. now! Ready to get Windows Vista? Looks good doesn’t it? I totally agree, except for one tiny thing. See, I believe Microsoft did another “no-no”. Did you know that Windows XP had a EULA that said that you could only […]
Preparing for bed I did the usual routine. As I strolled towards the bed to settle in, I heard C screaming: “NO! – you don’t sleep in that side of the bed anymore!”. Huh? – Had someone finally seen through my charade and recognized me as easily replaced? Should I grab my stuff and head […]

I’m a four-eyes. Who would have guessed? Nerd AND glasses – a winning combo. Before I caved and brought a pair of beautiful glasses – well, that’s at least how I remember them (click the link at own risk) – many friends and acquaintances suddenly had me down for being an arrogant jerk. Nice enough […]

Spam is through the roof these days. Since I last mentioned it (9. oct) I’ve had a further 3178 spam messages more. That’s 9075 so far and 54% more in 8 days! If this trend continue I have to find a new weapon. As of now, I must admit that I don’t check through the […]
Why does some people say: “Ahhhh” after taking a drink of beverage? It really doesn’t taste better if you ask me (yes – I tried if you wonder). I have an acquaintance who always either drinks his water in numerous small “sips” (with his pinky finger *floating*) or have to utter a big hey-I’m-drinking-water-over-here “AHHHHHHHhhhhhhhh”. […]

That caught your eye right? The following story is THAT boring and really needed a catch line. Bottom-line: Laziness caught up with us. C loves to cook, but hates to wash dishes. I’m a true copy, with the one exception that I am not allowed to cook that much. Being a northern Chinese and all, […]
Since her move here, C haven’t been open to initiate contact to other Chinese living in Denmark. Before C came here, I even roundup a few telephone numbers for Chinese girls living in Aalborg if maybe she wanted to talk to people in similar situation. But no interest and I completely understand her. From a […]
C hates them, as they accordingly to her, are too sweet, oily and heavy. Distance makes them too difficult for me to taste (intrigued yet?). Moon cakes – I’ve read about them, and I’ve heard about them. All Chinese love to give these away, but apparently very few find them tasty. It’s a big tradition […]

So I looked away from the moderation panel in WordPress for 2 days, and 468 spam comment were posted. Someone out there must be bored. Fortunately Akismet Spam caught em all. Akismet has caught 5,897 spam for you since you first installed it. I cant remember what time I installed it, but it can’t be […]
On a follow-up on this thread, I remembered that boiled liver is not the only time my wife surprised me food-wise. She is able to bring a new dimension to what you can mix in the Danish food section as well. I specifically remember 4 examples. This one she pulled of during a Saturday breakfast […]
Sometimes the difference from Denmark to China is small, and some times non-existing. Other times it is a world apart when we talk food. Like today for instance. I came home from a long day at work. Pretty hungry, as I didn’t have proper lunch. The smell of warm food met my nose and got […]
Where we live, the standard cable provider is Telia Stofa. A company that I have had my problems with in the past, and since we moved recently, I can’t say that our relationship has improved. Right this second I loathe them (if you wonder – yes – I do think it is wise to write […]
I like old people. Hell, my folks ARE old people now, so why shouldn’t I? Most of them are polite and smiling, and their hard work is the basis of the good life the younger generation now benefits from. I’m all pro old people. There is one thing that really bugs me, though. Much as […]
After fortunately maintaining her mental health after finishing the first 4-5 Danish learning books, my wife borrowed 2 more. I got to hand it to the authors. Never is a dull moment in Denmark. No small problems here, just major catastrophes and big life decisions to be made. Danish life seems to be one hell […]
Are you one of the few people who many times daily have to bend over and reveal your otherwise carefully concealed apple-shaped buttocks to the screaming public just to fix your shoelaces? Then you’re shoes are probably submitted to the fashion crime that won’t go away. I’m, talking about round shoelaces. Granted, flat shoelaces may […]
