Happy New Year

New Years dinner was SO delicious:
Shrimp soup with fried scallop
Carpaccio with artichovecream
Stuffed Quail
Tart of chocolate and blackberry.
This dinner will be remembered for a loooong time - thank you, Ulrik and Lasse. And also thanks to Stine and Kristine for a very nice evening.
I chose to make a weird drink for the Queen's Speech: Sparkling protuguese white wine, 7up, green sports soda, and a hint of lime juice + slices of lime...make a nice light green sodalike drink with low alcohol percentage.

Snow hit Copenhagen last night (I will find a picture at some point), and everything is powdered and beautiful now. I'm gonna take a walk on the "Assistensens" churchyard with Ulrik, who is coming by with all the things I left behind Tuesday night.

Exam is closing in, and today I'm gonna work on those chapters in my thesis, that also is covered by my semester project (Clever, huh? Hehehe). I have for now decided to use the time get for an oral presentation before the actually examination on four areas:
1) The two forms of interaction:
a) Interaction as a possibilty / Interaction as a structural phenomenon
b) Interaction as an act / Interaction as the reader/user sees it
2) The transformation of Narration from page to screen
3) The newer forms of project management ("Leading with Love", "Maternalistic Management", The FISH-model)
4) Discussion of the need for a theory of non-interaction in the digital media - now it's only seen as the boring stuff between the interactive part = not worth dealing with.

I went to see Lisbeth in her office the other day - she is BUSY!!!! But she still took the time to have coffee with me, and to discuss a few points in my project. That made me feel way more secure :-)
And of course I left with more litterature in my bag

----

I updated my blog, took the dishes, cleaned the living room...I can't find anything else to do now, but start working on the project and thesis (....hmmmm....the windows could need a cleaning as well, I see...hehehe)
