Of Plume And The Ten Commandments
I slept too much today. Am I sounding like a broken record? No sorry, that’s the martians. There should be a law against playing bad German techno at 3 am. Maybe I should write up some house rules. It is after all MY cupboard that they live in.
Rule 1: No techno music after midnight
Rule 2: Don’t steal my underwear
Rule 3: Stop leaving chocolates on my pillow. This is not a hotel. I don’t like waking up with melted chocolate all over the face.
Rule 4: Do not invite bikers to party in the appartment without my permission.
Rule 5: Stay away from the nuts and raisins, those are for the goats not the martians.
Rule 6: If you’re going to invent a doomsday device, please do NOT tell me about it. And don’t leave the technical plans lying around on my coffee table either.
Rule 7: If you’re going to watch the Playboy Channel after I’ve gone to bed, please turn off the telly when you’re done.
Rule 8: My oven is not a sauna.
Rule 9: It’s nice that you empty the wastepaper bins, but please don’t dump the contents in the sink.
Rule 10: Don’t use my scissors to cut your nose hair. Get your own scissors.
That’s it, I think. Meanwhile I made a video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=UQesp2dcu_c. It’s incredibly fascinating. And by fascinating I mean boring. It’s been quite windy lately. And when I close my windows I can really hear the wind howling outside. It sounds like a train going by or something. So in the video you can stare at my drapes and listen to the wind. I am sure you will be most pleased.
I got my election card today. So now I’m all ready to go electing. On the 13th. It is a little anxiety provoking, it will be a room full of many people coming and going. It’s something I would rather avoid. But I must be a responsible adult and do my duty and vote. And I must try not to get too cynical and negative about it. I will pretend that I am voting whether gummi bears are more delicious than liquorice. Instead of voting for corrupt politicians who are all trying to rule/ruin the country.
I think I’m a gummi bear kinda guy.

My that was an incredible video. Quite frankly words fail me on its incredibleness! I don’t think I can take that much excitement anymore.
It’s the time change thing about being sleepy. We’re feeling it here, too. I go to bed before 10:00 pm and can barely drag myself out of bed at 6:30 am. Then early this morning I woke up raring to go but it was 2:30 am! Then I had trouble getting back to sleep.
Got the flu shot today and a cool sticker saying “I got my flu shot today” which I wore proudly all day. I plan to donate blood tomorrow. I’m gaining on my 3rd gallon.
By all means, go vote! You can do it. You always seem to meet old friends when you do go out and you’re surprised how well the outing went.
Besides I don’t think the worst thing you could imagine could happen like alien abduction by martians! Well, maybe that wasn’t the best example I could have used since you are plagued by martians next door.
But really, Plume, I think they would have abducted you by now. There have been martian budget cuts and they don’t have lots of money to spend on earthly specimens like they did in the old days!
Gummy bears – yay! Liquorice – boo!

Debster – I have heard that Americans don’t understand sarcasm, so I can only assume you are being sincere and therefore I thank you for liking the video!
I wish I had a sticker like that. Maybe I should think about getting a flu shot some time. Unless I can fabricate a sticker on my own somehow.. hmm..
I think the martians in my cupboard think they have abducted me, but since it’s my own appartment in the first place it’s a bit of a weak abduction. Maybe I’m the one who abducted them, they are after all martians and should therefore probably be on mars, not in my cupboard. I’m not sure.

*Sniff, sniff* I was actually being sarcastic Plume . . . I’m sooo good at being sarcastic Danish people aren’t even aware of it!
I am the Queen of Sarcasm and the Exalted Ruler of the Universe. I did run into some problems with my chiropractor who thinks HE is the Exalted Ruler of the Universe. I set him straight right away.
By the way, are you missing some Danish people? In the next county to ours, some Danish people were in the area on a trail ride. People (Danish or whatever) can “rent” a horse for several hours and are lead on a horseback ride through the woods. (Note: they are lead back to where they started, we don’t KEEP them). I’m being a little sarcastic there, Plumey!

Debster – That’s funny, because I am the salted ruler of the kitchen. I use way too much salt on everything, at least my mother tells me so.
You know me, I don’t like having too many people around. So for all I care you can invite lots and lots and lots and Danes over for those rides, then I can have some space for myself here!
