Ok! I know I haven't been much active lately...and thanks for reminding me!!! :) I have for once made a list of things I want to blog: 1: Highlander 2: Second part of dutch paper system 3: Kraftwerk 4: Lamb in Vega 5: Flooding the kitchen and tearing down a shelf Ad 1 Highlander I just saw "Highlander" on Veronica - it was my first time! (YES I know....I'm from 1969, it should be one of my favorites...together with Rocky III??) . I was baffled about several things: 1) the VERY different way of seeing women. 2) The very different way of seeing gay people (actually it's one of the first movies where the hero "kinda" DEFENDS being gay, but still too early to be depeicting real gayness in a positive way.....I think!) 3) BAAAD Special effects - at least for be seen today. 4) Character selection...ol. this is a bit complicated: Christophe Lambert is French playing a Scottish guy while Sean Connery is Scottish playing an "Egyptian guy who's been serving the Spanish" (please correct if I'm wrong, since I didn't catch some part of the movies because I found my Danish Christmas Brews in the fridge at the same time) Ad 2 Second part of dutch paper system I got to do the second roll of the administration hell here. If you think you can run by the tax office to get a SOFI-number (social-financial number) at 12.40 and still think you can make it to the foreign police at 14.00 then re-think! It is not possible. Well, I did wait together with 7 other people...(too me - as a Dane - that is slooooow). At least everything is ok now. I got my stamp and I got everything done....except ONE thing!!! And this is pissing me off: A week ago I went to the town hall to register myself because that is required to get a bank account. I finally got registered (after being send out twice because of things/papers that wasn't in order - they could at least have told me about ALL papers I needed the first time, right?) but that is A WEEK AGO now...is this the way I should understand the system here? I hope not...but I will head to the town hall tomorrow after the mail man has past by... Ad 3: Kraftwerk I got a Kraftwerk record from a dear friend yesterday. I listened to the first three numbers and they were GREAT!!! Thanks, Anders! I love you! Ad 4: Lamb in Vega + Ad 5: Flooding the kitchen and tearing down a shelf That has to wait until tomorrow. Sorry... *** - | posted by Tommy on 1:06 AM ---ooo--- |
