apart from Natalie I don't remember any sources at all. Sorry. Please don't sue me.

D had this idea ages ago - but 'sadly' this guy beat him to it

Oh hoho, I simply can't get over it.

D was actually disappointed in the guy- "he placed them way too high! They shouldn't look like that!"

Prizzzzlezzz

and on that note

vintage GaGa:

in the words of a Jezebel commenter:

"I've given in to the charm that is Lady Gaga. I choose to think of it more as an absurdist performance art piece than a walking publicity stunt. Every video she does gets more incredibly surreal. I love it. And you've got to love a person who, despite being possibly transsexual or intersex, has pretty much won over my entire Army unit and my husband's infantry unit. Everyone is constantly playing her songs on workout mixes and the like. It's like a Willy Wonka candy creation come to life, watching her. She's 23 years old and having a blast with her life.

I used to be you. I used to see the pictures of her in a Kermit the Frog dress and wonder why in the world people were interested in this person. And then something changed, and somehow the world is a less dark and dreary place. Give in to the insanity, it's fun."

Word. Though the music still hurts. Physically. (Except perhaps Paparazzi.. I have a weakness for that song..)

oo-oo-oo-YEAH

The massive Janet fan that will always live inside me just

palpitated uncontrollably watching the feat that is this

performance from last nights American Music Awards.

If you too spent a large portion of your early teens loving this woman,

you, like me, will most likely breathe very little during this greatest-medley

and afterwards sigh audibly with your mouth open and a wee tear in your eye.

She does the If-dance! Come on!

.. and then, and then, I have got to post this.

The music hurts but the fascination still thrives.

Bonkérosity, extraordinaire:

held my breath waiting for a fat chance

I love this, Maria! Well well done!

"Whatever you have is enough.
Whatever you need you were given.
Everything is at your disposal.
Can you see that?
You already have everything you need to create a life that is right for you.
Most of all you have the perfect amount of energy to be who you are.
How you go about it is your business, no-one else's.

Who told you that you don’t have enough? That you don’t look right? That until you get to that certain point you have not yet arrived? That you need to accumulate to succeed? That your house should be a stepping stone, a rung on a ladder, not a habitat? Did you ever believe this?

Do you remember your Grandparents? Do you remember that generations worked and evolved before us, wishing the best for us, making our happiness and well being their life’s work?

Do you mend what is broken? Do you treasure the energy of the repaired thing?"

the hotel terrasse

rhumba! - brilliant place with several different floors for every musical whim. Exquisite fun.

how I miss you guys

the local beer with the beautiful Victoria Falls - which I'll have to see another time around! - depicted on it. A bit like Carlsberg but with a dash of maize

tiny barber shop - like you see them all the time along the roads

the camels are a gift from Mu'ammar al-Gaddafi himself. "No camels in Zambia?! Noo no no no no!"

oh hai, Pumba! Haaai!

the compounds near the massive cement plant just outside Lusaka - where people live in mud just next to their cement-producing employer. Now where are the CSR people when you need them?

It is not clear to see - but the fish is swarming with flies

the atmosphere is incomparable. Zambians seem to wake up every morning thinking "Yaaay, another day for smiling and laughing with my countrymen and dancing rhumba and..!"

oil and women

“ Women have made less progress toward gender equality in the Middle East than in any other

region. Many observers claim this is due to the region’s Islamic traditions. I suggest that oil,

not Islam, is at fault; and that oil production also explains why women lag behind in many

other countries. Oil production reduces the number of women in the labour force, which in turn reduces

their political influence. As a result, oil-producing states are left with atypically strong patriarchal norms,

laws, and political institutions. I support this argument with global data on oil production, female work

patterns, and female political representation, and by comparing oil-rich Algeria to oil-poor Morocco

and Tunisia. This argument has implications for the study of the Middle East, Islamic culture, and the

resource curse”.

Oh hai, blog, hii!

Excuse my absence

I just don't have enough downtime on the 'puty to make the blog worth anyone's while at the moment, and for that I do apologize. For a while I guess this will more than ever only function as a virtual scrapbook.

I very much appreciate your visit! And will try to post something with a slight hint of substance soon - swear.

For now, a fantastic hardware arm - gimmegimme - how I wish for a vintage watch.

Berlin notes:

-Cookies and cream is the best restaurant I have tried in a very long time

-Kimchi Princess on Wienerstrasse was not far behind - try the spicy casserole with silky tofu and sea food

-Next time I have the choice I'd like to stay on Wienerstrasse or elsewhere very near Schlesischer Tor - blossoming!

-freezer-cold dark chocolate Bounty-bars are THE thing for a steamy mainland climate

I love this internship!

yet another exhilarating day - despite stress and turmoil.

Never in my life have I tried being so stressed out that I lost my appetite, nevertheless having a brilliant time feeling almost jittery and exalted.

Wonder if it'll last or if it's just the novelty of it all - don't think so, actually! I feel pretty certain this is all just plain great for me.

A propos nothing - if anyone would like to patent something and become filthy rich, here's a hot tip: muted-sounding coffee cups for meetings! I don't know, perhaps some sort of rubber covered bottom-thing or something or other. Clever, no? Okay, maybe this is not hitherto unthought of but the concept hasn't reached Denmark, thaaats for sure

master of disaster

HOLD da op, en irriterende artikel - argh!

"Sabine Kirchmeier-Andersen fremhæver udtrykket 'en burkabilist' som en finurlig nyskabelse, der illustrerer sprogets spændstighed, når den er bedst.

En burkabilist er en bilist, der lister sig ud i trafikken med en tiliset forrude, hvor han eller hun blot har skrabet en lille isfri udkigsstribe klar i forruden."

Det "sjove" er, at indholdet snildt kunne have været lødigt og fornuftigt formidlet - men den ekstraordinært pladderjournalistiske argurketidsfladpandethed, der præger skidtet, tager jo pippet fra alt og efterlader kun fis i hornlygter.

Tak, Politiken.

what is happening to me?

I should leave myself alone.

hope it becomes easier or else it will be a very long month, this

Aside from her unearthly prettiness, Vandana's music has a strange appeal to me.

Despite her singing being sporadically horribly out of tune and the track

disharmonic and somewhat annoying.

like time, it treats us all the same

Jeg håber ikke Ane - og drengene - er kede af, at jeg poster hendes status og efterfølgende diskussion her (øhm, ulovligt?).

Der kom så fine pointer frem, at jeg ikke syntes, den skulle fortabe sig i fjæser-oceanet med det samme.

Ane Marie Halborg-Møller HVAD sker der for DF og Messerschmidt og deres sygelig paranoia?? og HVORFOR bliver folk ved med at stemme på sådan en bunke stupide, snævre og ubehagelig mennesker. Er det virkelig der vi er kommet til danmark?

I går kl. 18:15 · Tilføj kommentar · Synes godt om

Kenneth Broxgaard, d. 16. juli kl. 18:16

Sådan har det desværre været i nogle år efterhånden, har det ik?

Søren K. Villemoes, d. 16. juli kl. 18:33

Måske stemmer folk på dem, netop fordi andre hele tiden kalder dem for 'stupide, snævre og ubehagelige mennesker'.
Den slags har det med at virke imod hensigten.

Lewis Preston Colston, d. 16. juli kl. 18:33

Nogen burde skrive en rap om det

Kenneth Broxgaard, d. 16. juli kl. 18:53

@Lewis: Det går ikke, så skal vi bare lukker skoler, kurser og mental undersøge folk..

Ane Marie Halborg-Møller, d. 16. juli kl. 19:43

@ søren, mener du virkelig det? at hvis de bliver kaldt ubehagelige så trækker det stemmer? Jeg kan tænke på mange andre grunde jeg tror er årsagen, men fair nok. Og jo det har desværre været sådan en del år efterhånden kenneth, jeg bliver nok bare ved med at blive overrasket over det fordi jeg synes det er så absurt. Heldigvis er bornholm meget fredeligt og rart så jeg kan sidde her og nyde tolerancen og håbe på bedre tider

Lewis Preston Colston, d. 16. juli kl. 19:56

Jeg ser en klar forbindelse mellem de utilfredse i samfundet, kontra de kulturradikale. DFs tydelige fortsatte fremgang er primært pgra dæmoniseringen af folk der ikke mener "det rigtige". Det er feks helt ok at sige at man "er flov over at være dansker" når vi feks ikke viser os fra vores humanistiske side, men ikke det samme fordi at man feks synes at muslimer er skræmmende. For os "oplyste" er det givent at vi har så meget af give af, men bag ligusterhækken er der mange der tænker helt anderledes, trods de gode intentioner vi helst ser at Danmark burde have. Hvis vi skal videres som et samlet land, skal vi lige have lært de mentalt mindrebemidlede at gå oprejst først. Landet er bare mere delt end vi går rundt og tror det er.

Marie Aktor, d. 16. juli kl. 20:29

Spot on, Lewis!

Søren K. Villemoes, d. 16. juli kl. 21:32

@ ane
Ja, det er helt sikkert. Læg mærke til, hvordan du kræver forståelse overfor indvandrere fra DFs vælgere, men du er ikke selv klar på at vise DFs vælgere den samme forståelse, som du kræver fra dem.
Morten Messerschmidt er den slags politiker, der kun bliver stærkere, jo mere han bliver dæmoniseret. Hver gang en veluddannet københavner med de rigtige meninger kalder Messerschmidt noget grimt, så stiger hans meningsmålinger. Det skyldes, at man kommer til at bekræfte hel Messerschmidts budskab: Nemlig, at der er en politisk korrekt overklasse, der skammer sig over Danmark, som hellere vil leve i en globaliseret verden uden grænser, og iøvrigt kun har foragt til overs for dig, der sympatiserer med Messerschmidt.

Søren K. Villemoes, d. 16. juli kl. 21:42

Det er sådan set en positiv ting, at vi har et parti som Dansk Folkeparti, der kan kanalisere alle de der frustrerede lidenskaber fra underdanmark ind igennem de demokratiske institutioner. På lang sigt er det blot med til at ansvarliggøre og tæmme disse lidenskaber. Alternativet er meget værre.
Den første ting, man bør gøre som almindelig fodsoldat på venstrefløjen er at droppe den hadske og dæmoniserende retorik overfor helt almindelige DF-vælgere.
Fakta er, at det er de færreste uddannede københavnere, der overhovedet kender en DFer. Og alligevel tror de, at de har nogen som helst idé om, hvem de er. Du kalder dem f.eks. for 'ubehagelige mennesker'. Hvorfor gør du det? Kender du dem? Har du mødt dem? Hvordan tror du det påvirker en almindelig DF-vælger at blive kaldt 'ubehagelig'? Tror du, det vil få dem til at stemme SF næste gang?

Lewis Preston Colston, d. 16. juli kl. 21:53

Jeg er 100% enig med Søren her. Alt det crap som nogle (som eks nogle af mine venner) har kørt med at "En stemme på Fogh er en stemme på Pia", er helt fucking fuldstændigt fejlskudt. Folk har fået hadet galt i halsen. Fordi at man mener at DF vælgere hader nogen, så er det ok at hade dem tilbage, samtidig med at man prædker tolerance og medmenneskelighed. I øvrigt vil jeg gerne påpege at det ikke udelunkkende er folk der ikke har gået så meget i skole som DF henter vælgere fra. Det er i ligeså stor en grad folk som på hver deres måde har ting inde på livet de ikke kan håndtere. En tankeboble hvis vi taler latent racisme vil være størstedelen af Nørrebros befolkning over 50 feks. Det skal jo forestille at være en dynamisk bydel, men hvad tror DU at visse elementer så stemmer når de står bag gardinet? Man skal ikke undervurdere det faktum, at det ikke er alle der ser sig som borgere i det samfund vi egentlig gerne ønsker vi bor i. ... Fortsættes

Lewis Preston Colston, d. 16. juli kl. 21:56

Ca. 300.000 personlige stemmer til Messerschmidt til EU valget, hvilket er en ret stor del af danmarks stemmeberettigede, især set i lyset af valgdeltagelsen, er et problem for os der gerne vil se Danmark som det vi bilder os ind at landet skal være... Men faktisk er det OS der skal fjerne skyklapperne hvis der skal gøres en forskel.... Ked af at din væg blev mit sted jeg skulle klemme noget ud mellem sidebenene søde Ane, men nu var jeg ved tasterne. :) Knus!

Lewis Preston Colston, d. 16. juli kl. 22:06

"Fakta er, at det er de færreste uddannede københavnere, der overhovedet kender en DFer. Og alligevel tror de, at de har nogen som helst idé om, hvem de er." - Det er en meget vigtig pointe synes jeg.

Christian Zander, d. 17. juli kl. 01:18

hold nu op med at mane til besindelse!! vi er nogen der går og håber på det udvikler sig til gadekampe.

Ane Marie Halborg-Møller, d. 17. juli kl. 12:10

meget gode tilbage meldinger colston. Og Søren, jeg kan sagtens se hvad du mener, har faktisk ikke tænkt på det den vej rundt før, meget tankevækkende!
