Last night I thought I was going to die.<\/p>\n

… Okay, maybe I’m being a little dramatic. A LITTLE. DRAMATIC. My left side sorta went all tingly. You know, like when you sit on your foot and it “falls asleep”. My entire left side sort of felt like that. I wondered if maybe I was having a stroke or something. Actually I can still feel it a little. And I have felt it before, recently. Just smaller. A little in the foot or the hand. Last night it felt like the entire side of the body. I started getting paranoid, thinking that maybe half of my brain would not get blood or the left part of my heart would stop beating. Hey, I never graduated med school. In fact I didn’t even go to the first lesson. Mainly because I didn’t enroll. <\/p>\n

Anyway. My left hand is still tingling a little. And actually the left side of my neck a bit. Hmm. Maybe I should go to the doctor. One of them proper ones that graduated and all. I imagine I’ve had a nerve squeezed somehow and that’s causing it. Probably. Or maybe it’s just a very, very, very slow stroke. You never know. No, I’m fine really.<\/p>\n

To prove that I’m still alive and producing stupid things, here is a video: http:\/\/youtube.com\/watch?v=LeGJHtZqpbw<\/a>. I made a little video for the song You Know Better from Tina Dickow’s new album. In case you would like to hear it, which I think you should, because she is my hero and so on. It’s a very avant-garde video with a lot of artistry and symbolism, and if you don’t “get it” then it’s probably because you’re not as smart as me. I am, for the record, smarter than the average Plume. Ahem. Yes. Okay, maybe it’s just usual goofing off and not very smart at all. You be the judge! There’s a lot of stuff out of focus, that was a conscious choice. Made by my camera, I think it’s broken. Or maybe it was just the dim lights in the appartment. I’ll test it out tomorrow in the daylight with the goats. Anyway. If you watch the video then you can see the goofball in the mirror and the lazyplume in the comfy chair. And then at some point I run out of goofootage and the video switches to live footage of Tina, from her last concert in ?rhus. So it’s all good fun. If you have the time, listen to the song a couple of times. Real music must have time to breathe and find it’s way to your heart. If you just want songs that you can sing along to after one listen then you can go to Top of the Pops, or whatever it’s called these days. Tina’s music is real music. Like good old-fashioned American pie. Only Danish.<\/p>\n

Oh by the way, when you’re watching the video, have a look at the Youtube related video list and you’ll see a bunch of videos by someone called “dicodenmark”. I think I might know that guy. I think I might know that guy really well. I mean, REALLY well. If you want to hear more Tina music then go check his profile. Maybe you can even recognise him from somwhere..<\/p>\n

In other news, I have started reading up a little on the subject of kittens. Reading the Danish cat newsgroup. Seems the initial vet thing is a bit more expensive than I thought. But it’s money well spent. I can’t wait to get my little kitty. I need to find a good vet too. One not too far away from here. There’s a petstore in City Vest, the big shopping center around the corner. So that’s handy. I imagine I can get most of what I need there. Maybe they can even give advice about vets in the neighbourhood. I am still somewhat intimidated by it all. The vet, getting the right food, potty training, vaccinations, scratching boards. But I know I shouldn’t worry about all that, it’ll be fine. As far as I can tell people in general seem to be able to have cats, so why not me? I’m sure little Luna Frodo will make me happy.<\/p>\n
