Love message

I think that my breakfast is trying to tell me something.. These two hearts were right on top of the muesli pile in my bowl.

Happy!

This is the message that was coming from a cushion, left on the sidewalk of a gloomy Sunday.

Woohooo

My (hopefully) last (normal*) exam is over! YAY!



_________________
* By "normal" I mean an exam for which you go to school and sit in a room with 100 other students for several hours.
I still have my (hopefully) veryvery last exam ever in the end of the month, but it is a 5-day thing.. which is another story.

What would MacDaner do? s01e03

Here's the plot to another episode** of the action-adventure television series "MacDaner".
Anders MacDaner is an average* Dane, living  his average* Danish life in an average* Danish city.

~~~~~*~~~~~ 

The buses in MacDaner's city have ticket machines inside. One can either travel with a monthly card, a 10-trip ticket, or pay for the trip through the machines on the bus. As a rule, if the "billetautomat" is broken, the traveler is supposed to tell the bus driver about it (he already knows). Then the citizen can calmly continue his ride.

MacDaner gets on the bus for 2 stops. He needs a ticket from the machine. He pays for the trip once with his credit card and once with a 20 DKK coin - both times getting no ticket in return.

What would MacDaner do?

Get worried he has no ticket. Ask the ones around if they knew the machine was broken. Realize that everyone knows. Go to the driver and tell him about it. Receive an answer "I know, you can continue your ride without the ticket". Smile to the driver, and get off on the first stop. He will get on a bus where he can buy a ticket.

What would MacDaner do? s01e02

Here's the plot to another episode** of the action-adventure television series "MacDaner".
Anders MacDaner is an average* Dane, living  his average* Danish life in an average* Danish city.

~~~~~*~~~~~ 

A foreigner is obviously lost in an average Danish city, looking at a map. MacDaner sees him and heads straight to him with a smile and readiness to help. The foreigner says: "I want to get to Vestre Ringgade".

What would MacDaner do?

Say: "Where?!" with the most confused expression a human face can get. Look at what the tourist's finger is showing on the map, then smile and say the exact same way the foreigner (thought) he pronounced it: "Aaaah, you mean Vestre Ringgade".

Weekend Tribune, issue: 05 May '12

The cooking section of today's Weekend Tribune is offering you a recipe for fast spaghetti.

Check the video of Fabio Viviani preparing a real Italian dish while explaining everything with his awesome Italian accent. He once said: "My accent will not get better by the end of the day, your knowledge [of lasagna] will". We proved this right.

Check more of his recipes on Chow Ciao.

Let's help each other

Here and here you can read, and watch about an interesting initiative. "Death row" cats are given to prisoners.
Both sides need each other, both sides need to behave.
Am I the only one who finds this a brilliant idea?

It is raining. It is raining so heavily that a citizen of any other country in the world would just stay home until it stops.

Get on his bike and ride for 10 km to meet a friend for lunch.

Nerdy monster

I never thought I would be upset and protesting that the library does not have a book that I need (just like about 100 other students attending a course with me).

I never thought that I would hide a book in another section of the library just because I'm afraid someone might take it before me tomorrow morning.

God..., school has turned me into a monster..
