On eating food, stuff you like, as much as you want. January 26, 2012

The past year or so, I’ve thought about food a lot. I’ve eaten it, cooked it, bought it, read about it, talked about it and above all thought about it a shitload, to be honest. It started about two years ago with me realising that I weigh more than I did when I was 16 [...]

Job application update January 17, 2012

Have started to consider taking a leaf out of Hunter Thompson’s book.

Life experience December 30, 2011

“My cover letter, written while watching “Glee,” included gems like “I’m too sour to bother googling it” and “I’m not cool” and ended with me writing about when I cried over butterscotch milkshakes. When they flew me in for an interview and asked me about any skills I had, I flaunted a trick wherein my [...]

Sol i sinne November 23, 2011

Tomorrow, the sun rises at 8.40 and sets at 15.33. That’s right, the length of day is 6 hours, 52 minutes and 47 seconds. In a month it will be over 1 hour shorter still. Since I can’t afford this, my therapy of choice is this, this and this. I am also very comforted by the fact [...]

#MenCallMeThings and re:gosling November 19, 2011

Two things you should read: Sady Doyle on #MenCallMeThings and Hynek Pallas on Drive (in swedish). They say things so much better than I ever could.

Ice cold September 9, 2011

In Melbourne again (Yes, I’ve done enough planet destroying for a lifetime with my flying all over the place. I feel bad, but freight ships to places like Australia take too long). Now, Melbourne is wonderful. It’s not just because the Economist Intelligence Unit says so. It’s so much more metropolitan, multicultural, open-minded than my [...]

“This is Africa” July 20, 2011

“This is Africa”, my friend often says. This is usually in a situation where there is a problem and I have gotten angry and frustrated. I complain about Africa a lot. Even though I have been in this part of the world for two months now, I still get frustrated whenever the internet that we [...]

No matter if you’re black or white June 25, 2011

I have now spent over a month in south-western Africa, namely Windhoek, Namibia. People say it is Africa for beginners. I do not really know what that means. Does a country have to have no infrastructure, terrible poverty and a political crisis to ‘deserve’ to be part of Africa? That said, though they say Namibia [...]

ǃGãi ǃhoes June 21, 2011

…or good evening. That is Damara, one of the coolest languages on earth. Greetings from Windhoek, Namibia. I will not blame Africa for not writing anything lately – I have simply had too many things to write about. However, my friend urged me to write something ages ago, so from now on I will get [...]
