So, what have I learned over the past weekend?
I guess the most important lesson learned is that if you do not wish to wake up with a splitting hangover you should not drink white wine, rum, red whine and beer (in that order). I hope I’m right when I say that I will never drink like that again!
I have just gotten in the door after spending a few hours at Østre Anlæg, where I was attending Stella Polaris . Rasmus and I had planned to go to the beach, but instead we ended up at Østre Anlæg. Was quite nice just relaxing in the sunshine with chill-out music playing.
The rest of my weekend has been used for consuming quite a lot of alcohol. Most of my Saturday was wasted just laying on the couch with a hangover. I did however do some things that I have been postponing for way to long.
I finally signed up for Erimitageløbet, and I finally put up the two last lamps in the living room.
Before going out for a few beers Saturday night we watched Superman Returns at Imperial. I wasn’t really impressed, but it was more or less what I had expected. Kevin Spacey did a great Lex Luthor, but what surprised me the most was that Louis Lane and Superman had a child together. According to my biology classes that means that they have in fact had sex at some point… or as Thomas pointed out after the movie, maybe Clark Kent had dragged a very drunk Louis Lane into the copy-room during a company party at the Daily Planet. But I guess that is an aspect of their relationship that will never make it to the big screen. Maybe for the best.
If all goes well I should be going running with Rasmus in one hour or so, when it gets cold enough, and I guess that ends a though but fun weekend.
Joe havde inviteret til fest i Malmö lørdag aften, og det takkede jeg jo ikke nej til. Så der blev drukket spiritus og så videre i byen – og mit tøj lugter ikke af røg i dag… er der noget med at de har rygeforbud på svenske beværtninger?
Ellers har jeg lige været ude og løbe med Thomas og Rasmus. Det blev lige planlagt i sidste øjeblik, men selvom det regnede var det rigtig godt at komme ud og få bevæget sig og få noget frisk luft.
Thursday I finally (for the first time in my life) ran around all of “søerne”. It was though(!), but I made it. I ran the distance with Rasmus, and to top it off, we went drinking afterwards. After a bit of liquor here, we met up with Søren and then went off to Heidi’s…
War! AIDS-epidemic! Government corruption!
These and other topics are of course important, but they seem to fade in comparison to what I am about to show you!
You, my dear educated sophisticated widely travelled reader might not think twice about the following, but for me it was a world shaking event… I’m of course talking about the first time I saw a yellow water melon.
In my world up until quite recently watermelons are red. (Unless they have gone bad of course.) But this one is yellow. It tasted all right, but it just seemed so strange.
Judge for your self
Anyway, yesterday I went with Thomas to Tivoli to watch and hear Beth Hart play Fredagsrock. I didn’t even know who she was (during the concert only one number seemed familiar), but the concert was great! I was really happy that we went. For obvious reasons I have never actually been to a concert in the seventies, but I think she hit that ‘vibe’ quite well.
Long story short, I liked what I heard!
Thomas and I later went for a few beers at a few pubs/kroer/bars, met up with some friends of Thomas and got more beers. So now I’m sitting here a bit hungover and trying to figure out what to do with my Saturday
Where did all this great weather come from? It has been like a genuine summer day today! I don’t have any school on Thursdays, so I have had the entire day off. I do have a lot of reading to do however… will get that started real soon now.
Anyway, last weekend went by way to fast. Friday was heavy drinking day! I started out by meeting Sarah and some of her friends (and friends of friends) at Nørreport where we went for a quick beer at Heidi’s Bier Bar. I only stayed for half an hour or so, then I said goodbye and went to meet Esben at Strawinsky. We met up at Gothersgade, and went in. Esben wasn’t drinking any alcohol for the entire night, so I had to do the drinking for the both of us, and I think I did a fair job! Later on more people showed up, there was drinking, dancing, shouting and fooseball. All in all it was a great night with nice company!
Night turned into morning, the club closed and after I a quick tuna fish sandwich I walked home in the light of dawn.
Next day, Saturday, I for some strange reason woke up around 10 am, and could not sleep any more. So I got a bit of studying done before I rode my MC to my grandmothers nursing home. It was her birthday party, and the whole family gathered for a bit of talking and then later dinner. My grandmother doesn’t talk much any more, but when I got there she said something along the lines of “Du ser ud som om du har det godt.” I didn’t give it much thought at the moment, but come to think of it she might be right. I do actually (and have for the last couple of weeks) been feeling quite good. Not that I don’t have a huge workload at school, and there are 1000 things that should have my attention, but doesn’t, but all in all I do feel good!
Anyway, I left dinner early to go see the Matematiker Revy at school. It was great fun. You had to have a background in math (or a related study), but the jokes and the atmosphere was wonder full.
Can’t really remember what I did Sunday, but I suspect that I went to the gym to work out with Esben, but I’m not quite sure.
Monday (I have Mondays off these next weeks by the way) was first of May. So during the late afternoon I met up with Esben, Søren H and Rasmus and we went to Fælledparken to enjoy the weather, listen to some music (we never really found the right place I think) and drink a few beers. However we are / were all serious students (some more than others…) so the day ended early
so, today I went to the gym, met up with Esben and Mark at their work, went for some ice cream with Esben, and then walked home from Frederiksberg – was a great walk in the sunshine!
… and now I’m almost running out of excuses for not reading – what should I do about that?
School started again this week. Went well so far. Tuesday I had the first lectures and problem session for my course about C*-algebras and today (yes, it is still kind off Wednesday) I had my first lecture and problem session for my Java course. I forgot to bring the obligatory coca-cola soda, but to keep in touch with the computer science roots of that course I was wearing my old Red Alert t-shirt, but I don’t think anyone noticed – it’s still to cold here to walk around in just a t-shirt. Although it is getting warmer almost day by day…
I started the weekend with some heavy drinking with Joe, which left me quite smashed for the next days Kapi-Lab, but I got “through”, and I would like to think that it gave me some new insight into some of the topics that were discussed. Finally Saturday I got up late’ish but drove my MC to Malmö (first time over the bridge – was kind of a let down, it’s quite flat and there was low visibility when I was driving across) to see Joe’s and his brother Anders’s new apartment over there. It still needs paint, furniture etc., but it looks really nice and big, and Malmö (or what I saw of it) seems like a real nice city.
So, tomorrow is my day off (although I think finding stuff to do won’t be a problem, among other things there is always reading), and then it’s almost weekend. And I think this weekend might also involve a bit of drinking… time will tell.
My project is almost done, I’m still 23 years old (for about one and a half hour more) and I’m off to grap a beer with Esben and Mark.
So, what am I trying to say? Nothing… really. I’m off.
So, it’s 2006 now. Newyears went fine – good food (sushi) here, and then off to rhk for drinking, dancing and general partyiing.
I finally got around to applying for my masters, turning in the application that is. Don’t know how long they need to do the paper work, but I guess they will contact me when they accept (or reject!) my application. I did that thursday. Same day as Esben returned from the states. After 15 hours of traveling, he sounded like he does when he is drunk, but all in all I think he was ok with comming home. The appartment looks like someone put a wardrobe into a blender and forgot to put the lid on – Esben is unpacking, Thomas hasn’t quite picked up all his stuff and there is generally a mess. (I’m not trying to be holy or anything, I have a lot of stuff laying around to.) But I guess that will all be cleaned up in the comming days. No big deal.
I should be writing just a little bit today, but as well as I know myself, I will proberly waste the next 4-5 hours and then go drinking with Esben and Mark. But who knows, time will tell. Maby I will stay at home and write the last 4-5 pages I need – blaah, who am I kidding!
Somehow new years eve tomorrow managed to jump me by surprise, but in last minute I ordered some sushi for tomorrow, and Rasmus has promised to bring some desert and some salate, so all in all I think the three of us (Thomas being the third) will have fun eating and drinking, before we hit the town (the town being rhk). Let’s hope it all goes really well, and that none of us get to drunk and fall in one of the lakes on our way to rhk.
My project is getting more and more pages day by day, and hopefully soon it will be in a state where I can ask others to have a look at it.
