Me, ordering coffee in Danish: [blah blah blah Danish] Barista-dude: OK, I'll bring that out to you when it's ready. Me, really sick of people switching to English when I speak Danish to them: ... Why are you speaking English? My Danish is fine. ...

Sun, speakers and skinny jeans: Distortion Festival '08

nobody@vox.com(Rottin' in Denmark) — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 01:37:21 -0700

A silicon-filled stress ball (titty-shaped, just to add to my dignity) exploded in my face at a suburban birthday party earlier in the day, so I had to borrow skinny-clothes from Skinny Friend. My extremities were the same color as my New...

How working out in Denmark got me kicked in the face by a little girl

Copenhagen is freckled with what are called ‘training pavilions’. You can do something like 25 exercises on these things, all in the comfort of a waterproof, semi-public panopticon. I started using the one on the way to work last year as a...

The further joys of friendship

My French friend, walking around town: What's is this place ahead? Amigo? Me, wondering why I possess this knowledge: Oh, that's Copenhagen's gay sauna. France: My uncle goes to gay saunas a lot. Me: Why? France: He's gay. Don't you all do that? M...

Drop the Zomb

The reason for my duck-banished hangover this morning? Zombie Pub Crawl! Billed as 'One night, the dead will rise and feast on the beer of the living', the Z-Crawl is pretty much exactly what it sounds like. Last night's turnout was more than 350...

I've got sol, I'm superbad

The arrival of warmth and sun in Copenhagen always completely re-introduces the city. I was biking the other day around sunset (8 pm now, and only latening until July), and I realized how pretty this place is. I haven’t been struck by the lovelin...

Heat wave, Copenhagen-style

nobody@vox.com(Rottin' in Denmark) — Sun, 10 Jun 2007 04:50:07 -0700

So the last few days here have been in the 80s, which for Denmark is the downright bayou. This, combined with the 11 pm sunsets, means that of the last 48 waking hours, I've spent roughly 47 of them outside. Here's a few pics from the first sprin...

Random afternoon awesomeness

nobody@vox.com(Rottin' in Denmark) — Fri, 06 Apr 2007 08:01:54 -0700

My Spring Resolution is to take my camera with me everywhere. With the possibility of getting thrown out of this country looming in my every daily thought (and nightly, slurred mope-fest), I want to enjoy what I've got as much as I can. Though m...
