The Appliances Have Gone Berserk

January 14th, 2008

Today hasn’t been the best of days. It started with a dream. Involving Sara, the girl with the English father. The one I pined over for years in my schooldays. In the dream she was mean to me. How rude! I know it’s silly, but it made me sad when I woke up. Plus that I have been feeling quite tired since the wedding. I guess it drained me a bit. In any case, I went back to bed. Knowing it was a mistake. Ended up sleeping half the day. And since then I have been walking around half-awake, half-asleep and half-sad. Does that add up?

I’m sure I’ll be fine soon, though. No worries. In the meantime my latest favourite song of the moment suits the mood just fine.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=X9l-FrBJK_0. Last Flowers. Formerly Last Flowers Till The Hospital. I’m a sucker for piano, as you know. And Thom Yorke on piano? Well, I could never resist that. The video is from the bus trip home from the wedding, in fact. You can see some of the neighbourhood(s). It’s not very interesting, but give it a listen if you fancy.

The part where the bus turns right the first time, at the muddy slopes, that’s where I get off when I take the bus to go to the playground. If the bus had carried on straight ahead instead of turning right then the playground would have been just down the street. Also later on notice the two boys pushing each other around a bit. They’re actually at the wrong door, that’s why they suddenly have to run forward to get to the right door before the bus takes off again.

That’s all. Time to face the night, it can offer me escape. Relief… believe. Relief. Believe…

The Honeymooners

January 13th, 2008

Alritey then. As promised, some pictures from the big wedding day.

We start off with City Hall.

There it is, Ĺrhus City Hall.

And there”s my dad hurrying out of the taxi.

And that’s City Hall again, in case you have forgotten how it looks already.

Then after the ceremony was done and I had changed batteries in the camera, we got back into the waiting room.

And I was so nervous that I forgot about framing the picture properly or even making sure my parents were looking in my general direction.

Second try little better. But oh well, they’ll have to do.

And there is my brother on the left and my parents. In the City Hall café. I mentioned that we ran into my brother’s childhood friend, Thomas. I think I forgot to say what he was actually doing there. It might have sounded like he was there to get something to eat as well. But no, he was a waiter. Head waiter as far as I could tell. So he showed us to our table and took our order and so on. Nice chap.

And a last one of the happily married couple. Hope you all enjoyed that!

Guess what I saw today? A cat running around on the grass outside my windows. A nice, black one. Maybe it can be my new Moomincat? Except I think it’s harder to get in through the windows here… on the other hand, I’m probably the only one on the block who’s crazy enough to keep the windows open at night during winter, so maybe there’s a chance. Or maybe I should get off my lazy bum and start looking for a shelter-kitty. That might be a good idea. Yes.

Here, kitty kitty.
