Laziness

Today is a holiday in Denmark. The weather is gray. Today I am watching DVDs, second season of Big Love with cakes from Lagekagehuset… Delicious! Of course I should be on a diet but I will make it up tomorrow in the gym. Of course I should be writing my PhD but I will make it up another day… Yesss… Laziness strikes!

Game night!

On Saturday J was having is friends over for dinner. And because it was a “boys only” thing, I was gently kicked out of the flat. And it was fantastic! I went over M’s place for a game night! Love it! I am really addicted to games and that’s why I never play for money. M, M’s boyfriend and me went through the night with a very nice conversation, laughs, board games, cocktails, beer and wine. I got so drunk! OMG I am really getting old. When do I convince myself this alcoholic life is not for me anymore? Really, hangover the next day is a killer, but the fun I had in the night was priceless!

Friday’s painting

After 2 very busy weeks having a long weekend it’s really great. Friday was an holyday because it was praying day. Having so many people living in Denmark from so many different religions, a praying day was needed to avoid holidays for each religion. Are you religious? So here you go… Today is praying day. I was also praying, but in my case I was praying that I was born with some skills to paint a flat. And I did! J and I decided to paint our dining room. It was the first time I painted walls, doors or anything in a house. And I was actually ok! I really got the handle of it! Weeeee! Of course the next day I was in pain: pain in the legs, arms, etc.

It's not a writer's block

Yes, I haven’t written so much on the blog and I feel sad for it. But it is not a writer’s block. The truth is I have been on vacation, sick, work, Portugal, sick again, more work and addicted to the FarmVille and SocialCity games from Facebook. I am beginning to write my PhD thesis that I will have to delivery in the end of August. So, busy, busy, busy.

Taking a cab... over Europe

The volcanic eruption in Iceland has spread plumes of ash, thousands of feet into the air, over North Europe and UK. Airports have been closed and chaos was installed among people who were away from home and wanted to come back. It’s in times like this that imagination, good will and money make funny stories happen like taking a cab over Europe. Danish guys took a cab from Portugal back to Denmark. English lawyer just got out of the hotel in Denmark, called a cab and said: “To London Please!” “Very well sir give me 1h and I will pick you up here”. Danish musician was stocked Italy and wanted to go back home. A group of taxi-drivers suggest they would pick him up for free and in exchange he had to play on their summer party. The musician said yes!

It’s funny when things go a little bit out of the normal... J
