She’s lost Control again…

I saw Anton Corbjin’s Joy Division movie in New York with Zarah a few weeks back and was generally pleased with it. It was beautifully shot (obviously, when Anton’s behind the wheel) to a degree where it almost became a problem. The guy (Sam Riley) playing the HUGE lead (the movie is more about Ian [...]

Zarah’s trip to the US

On October 12th Zarah, my-one-of-a-kind-girlfriend, came to visit me in the US. We stayed in New York for a few days, and headed up to Dartmouth afterwards. Really good times, although it almost broke my heart to have to say goodbye after 9 days. Pictures from her visit can be seen here and here – [...]

Daniel Clowes: Mister Wonderful

Although it is now on it’s 7th Chapter, I only just found out that Daniel Clowes is publishing his new graphic novel online. I haven’t read it yet, but I am a huge fan of Clowes after reading his other work “Ghostworld”, “Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron” and “David Boring”. If you want [...]

One Monster After Another…

So I was trying to look up some colourful posters for the walls of my room, which is pretty boring and institutional right now. I remembered the books that impressed me as a kid, and found this great poster by Maurice Sendak:

I think it looks great and it’s kinda ironic too, which doesn’t hurt. [...]

Statistics and Measurement

I have a midterm take home exam in the graduate class “PSYC100: Statistics and Measurement” due on Thursday, which might be the reason why I am posting so much these days. I was pretty worried about this exam, since statistics is not really my strong suit, and some of the questions are really hard. After [...]

The place I currently call home…

Just a quick heads up for everyone who hasn’t seen it yet: you can see a wonderful map of Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, where I am currently living and studying, by pressing the link at the top right corner. In my humble opinion: It kicks ass!

The Danish general elections

As you might know, the general elections in Denmark was announced a week ago. Unlike over here in the US, the process is pretty swift this time – the election is on the 13th of November! If everything goes well I will be voting by letter for Kamal H. Qureshi of the Socialist Peoples party [...]

Nice going, Burton!

A few weeks ago the zipper on one of the pockets on my lovely new winter jacket (see below) broke. Fortunately, I was going to New York to hang out with my almost equally lovely (kidding) girlfriend, so I had the chance to go the store and complain. I don’t know what I’d expected, but [...]

Opdatering fra Dartmouth… [sent on the 10th of October 2007]

Kære Allesammen,
Så tog jeg mig endelig sammen til at få skrevet den her mail. Hovedformålet med den er faktisk at give jer mulighed for at se de her billeder. De af jer der bruger facebook har set mange af dem, men nu er de tilgængelige for alle, og nemt er det også! Der er 19 [...]

Alting er større i USA (selv pensum?!) [sent on the 11th of September 2007]

Hej alle sammen,
Endnu en fællesmail, men stadig ingen billeder online! Ja, jeg ved det godt, men der er altså bare en del ting at tage sig af her på stedet. Til mit forsvar har det også regnet stort set konstant siden jeg ankom, så evt. billeder af campus ville heller ikke have været vanvittigt [...]
