Someone Great

Alot has happened in the last week, so I will run through it really quick. At some point soon I will get back to enjoying blogging, but some recent occurences in my life make such things seem insubstantial, so bear with me.

Festelavn party-its the Danish version of halloween where the kids beat a pinata (actually a barrel that used to contain a live cat) for candy and adults party. Most guys like to dress as girls, the best girl costumes were Marylin Monroe and Princess Leia. Singsong (aka kareoke) is huge on this holiday, and I had the honor to listen to two fully grown men sing and revel in a beach boys song in Danish.

I built a 6 inch snow man. Not as much snow as new york.

I ate 4 falafel, and they were all delicious. What is the plurality of falafel? Falafels? Falafi?

I went to Malmo, the Copenhagen sister city in Sweden. It doesn't have much, although their kronor is much poorer than the Danish krown, so many go there to shop. After going to the aquarium there (awesome!), I went and watched the Liverpool vs. Manchester city football game in a pub and met a whole bunch of Irish guys (drunk) and an older man from London who fought with Americans in Columbia.

I lit some candles at the local cemetary. Everyone deserves to be remembered and honored.

I made two really good ommelets. Lets be honest, breakfast food is the best food.

I got an eyebrow piercing with my friend Sarah Brown, who got a bar through her lip. The guy who pierced us was really interesting, he had implanted horns in his forehead and had 75% of his body covered in tattoos. Needless to say we felt we were in safe hands.

More to come y'all. Wishing you all good health and happiness from Kobenhavn.

  1. I remember taking a kid to the ED to have his split eyebrow repaired, and insisting on a plastic surgeon so that it would remain beautiful. May this enhancement just look like two healed zits in ten years.
