This was in my morning newspaper.First, a picture of the Muir gletcher, taken in 1941:Then, a picture taken at the exact same spot in 2004: And yet the worlds governments and companies are still more concerned about profit than about global warming.After them the Flood. Literally 🙁 (… Though I suspect the Danish saying “After […]
Jeg elsker vinteren, ingen tvivl om det. Jeg nyder at det er mørkt når jeg står op, at spise morgenmad og læse avis i stearinlys, at se himlen langsomt lysne som klokken nærmer sig 9. At føle aftenstemningen sænke sig allerede kort efter 15, tænde stearinlysene igen og vide at dette er den årstid hvor […]
I går morges da jeg søvnig trissede ud på det lille badeværelse overraskedes jeg af dette syn: December står på spring 😉
I sidste uge var det Thanksgiving, som jeg efter at have oplevet den sidste år i USA var så begejstret for at jeg besluttede mig for at indføre til Danmark – eller i hvert fald til familien Damhøj. En højtid hvor man tager hjem til familien, spiser god mad og husker at være glade for […]
Saturday, late afternoon. Dusk have become darkness, the lamps are lit, five has passed and six will be here soon.Christoffer and I plot and plan what to make for dinner while my Mother and Lasse prepare to go out for dinner, for once just the two of them. We decide on a chili stew and […]
Hvidskinnende, perfektrund fuldmåne i morgenmørket, svævende lige over trætoppene og hustagene mod vest. Kold, næsten frostklar luft møder mine endnu brusebadsvarme næsebor. Knasen af novembertynd is under mine hænder på trampolinens kant. Karlsvognen midt over mit hovede – en halv himmelbredde fra Månen, og dog blegnende i dens skær.Dybmørke træsilhouetter hvilende i åens vindstilleblanke måneoplyste […]
These days my life is mostly filled with little things. All the big and important stuff is there of course, finding an apartment, looking for a new job, pondering what to do with me now that I am no longer travelling, but the things that make me smile are the other things, the little things. […]
I lørdags havde Mor og Lasse inviteret familien til spisning. Selvom jeg stadig var jetlagged og med blærebetændelse var det rigtig hyggeligt at se dem allesammen igen. Det vil sige næsten alle sammen – Gurli og Jørgen er stadig i Egypten, jeg er næsten ikke misundelig…Men inden I får lov til at se billeder fra […]
Kamal on his way to campus for TAingCornell in fall colors as I walked to the store to buy the shirt my Father wants.And as I walked back to Upson the other way.Ganesh in his office, fiddling with his computer and explaining to me how the continuously tipping bird is crucial to his graphics research […]
I’m going back to Denmark tomorrow and I’m rather sad about it. The Leopard switched to playing on my side at chess, but quickly got frustrated with losing all the time. It pounced on the dark king when no one was looking.That’ll teach him to win! For my birthday Kamal got me sundae glasses (it’s […]
