I lost my voice!!

Posted by maycph on November 25, 2006

Went out for a party last night and had a bit too many drinks and a bit too many cigarettes.

At the end of the evening the voice was GONE!

Came home and had some tea before I went to bed..

It sucks.  I have to shut up all weekend!

On the other hand it´s actually not so bad. In fact I think everyone should take a day off where they don´t talk. And just listen..

So later I will go out for a nice walk to get some fresh air into my cigarette infected lungs (phew!!)

Funny thing was happening when I came back home. When I was younger (lol) I would not even have bothered doing the whole routine of getting off the makeup, it would just be straight to bed and the pillow would do the job.

Last night I found myself scrubbing away and putting on 3 different nightcreams and eyecream… WHAT the hell was that about?!  Ama´gettin´olda´?!

Admit waking up with a clean face was much more motivating than the usual – just-spent- a- night- in- prison- look!

It´s been a boring week..

Posted by maycph on November 23, 2006

I am trying to think about what to write and I am just blank!

I just yawned…

It´s raining outside and I was just in the supermarket- our local NETTO to get some groceries.

I bought 3 items. Salmon steaks, one orange and some milk.

Will make salmon with orange and lemon peel and some salad. It was raining too hard, wanted to go to the specialty store to buy some good olives. Nothing like the real big juicy olives.

Ok I have been looking at the screen for 5 min now. I´m blank. So Im going now.

Bye!!!

Norman Foster to build Tivoli Tower!

Posted by maycph on November 17, 2006

norman foster

The latest from this funky city is that Norman Fosters tower is to be built next to the city hall- in Tivoli!

But it´s not for sure just yet. Many oppose the fact that towers should even be built at all in Copenhagen. They say that it will ruin the city´s “feel” and that the new tower will cast a shadow on the city hall and surrounding buildings..

Others think it is a great idea as Copenhagen will begin to mark itself as being a city that is modern, urban and exploring.

I have only seen this foto of the proposed structure and it looks fine..besides Copenhagen needs more architectural structures. As a Copenhagener- I am dying for something new to look at. So bring it on!!

Park this!!

Posted by maycph on November 15, 2006

Finding a parking space where I live after 18 in the evening is absolutely impossible.

I have had the car the last few days and spent atleast 20-30 min. every evening circulating the area to find just a realistic spot to park.

There where  many potential parking spaces, but the danish parking-rules are insane.

And the last thing I need is a parking ticket.

They hand them out like flyers, easy as that. They wait untill you are safely sleeping in your bed under the warm blanket.

In the mean time they are preparing a lovely surprise for you to bash your entire day….right there…you see it when you walk towards the car.. Oh God..Oh no…shit shit..and yep. BANG! They caught you- you evil car owner. How dare you park on this deserted spot that has no other function than being…space.

I managed somehow to park between two cars, in a spot that was the exact length of the car. I think I had 2 cm on each side to maneuvre on. I was proud of my parallel parking. There should be the opposite of parking tickets, like a parking prize! I would have won the other day for sure…

But I guess finding a spot is in itself a prize. I should just say “thank you” and shut up.

So I will.

Sushi with fantastic fusion!!

Posted by maycph on November 11, 2006

Had sushi for lunch today and was surprised to see that the place I usualy eat Sushi at, had made an entirely new menu.

At first I was sceptical cause the prices looked a biiiiiiit more expensive that what I was paying usualy.

Anyhow, since my mom was with me, we decided to order the dish called “adam”. A bigger version of the menu called…(drums..) ..Eva.

WOW! It was amazing.

Not the regular boring sushi stereotypes. This dish had it all. Especially one futomaki that was ubeleivable. There was a deepfried shrimp in it and mom was going mad over it, she had to order an entire roll of that futomaki version.

Every single bite was fantastic. Yum! And it was not that expensive at all. It could get to be a habit…

If you are in Copenhagen, go try it! Its called Sticks and Sushi.

And the fantastic futomaki that we had is called Ebi tempura big. :) Yum!

Darfur- genocide before our very eyes.

Posted by maycph on November 10, 2006

The world is looking away. Mass murder, rapes and destruction of homes and villages.

The media coverage is a joke. In the end we can all sit back and say we didn´t do anything  because “we didn´t know”.

If we can do something it is atleast to acknowledge the fact that there is a genocide going on, and to do what we can to save darfur. www.savedarfur.org

The US governmernt needs to take action now. 400.000 people killed over 3 years. The mass rapes of women and killing of children…

Guiness world of records attempts!

Posted by maycph on November 9, 2006

Today was Guiness world of records day and around the world there were different attemps going on!

Some examples:

The Italians: Longest Line of Pizzas

The French: Most People Kissing Simultaneously  

and the Irish : Largest Pub Quiz!

So that says something about the different cultures of course! And if so, then I would say the Australians, Spanish and New Zealanders have the most humour!!

Theyre attemps where among others: Most Underpants pulled on in 60 seconds, Most Socks Worn on One Foot & Most t-shirts worn at once and also Largest Speed Dating Event!!

Here is a funny video from the “Most t-shirt worn at once” attempt!

My computer is dying..

Posted by maycph on November 9, 2006

I don´t know what happened. It was working fine the last 15 years , but suddenly last week my programs would start to “unexpectedly quit” .

Now it´s quitting like you would expect and I don´t like it. When I´m online I am practically holding my breath and typing gently on the keyboard to prevent this old piece of crap from crashing.

It´s not helping.

SO! Perhaps this post that I am writing now, will be the last post that I will be writing, from this leftover from the last century?

Perhaps. All I know that I hear a Shakespearean Insult coming!! And here it is:

“Drop into the rotten mouth of death”!  (Taken from Richard III)

Atleast the timing could not be better for this old moth to perish. Hanukkah is up next so hopefully i can wish for a new computer or something. That´s all  I want. A computer that works. And I also want an Ipod. And a dishwasher machine. And…a new digital camera because I dropped my beautiful expensive camera on the floor and the zoom doesn´t work so well anymore.

Greedy greedy! ! :)
