I've decided to write this blog in English. Partly because I reckon' I need a larger audience, if I am to find someone who might find this blog interesting, partly - and this is actually the same point to a degree - because some people in this world for some odd reason don't speak Danish and lastly because I never speak English these days. Which is a bit shit, really. I spent 10 years learning it, so I better use it every once in a while.
Which reminds me; if you do spend 10 years learning a language, do yourself the favour of actually going there and checking out whether they actually speak it. I'm sure you understand the sort of heartfelt disappointment I felt when two years ago I moved to Sheffield, England and found out that no one there speaks English. At least not like I learnt it.
Which i reckon - if you think about it - is quite the joke, if not for other reasons, then atleast for the elaborate-ness of having an english-language making everyone learn it, and then not speak it. That is truly british humour.
In other news, I've recently been to the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, which is a museum in central Copenhagen devoted to sculptures and paintings of the impressionist persuasion. Why did I go there? Because I'm sophisticated like that. And my mom was visiting. It was very nice and all, but I must admit that after a few hours in there, I experienced a heartfelt desire to not watch anymore genitalia. I know it is art and all but I feel there is a certain limit to how many variations of a relatively simple theme you can expose people to in the name of art.
And i daresay that this particular topic haven't evolved particularly in the last 4000 years. There are genitalia in this world. Get over it.
Also i saw a few mummies, which sounds cool, but was actually quite depressing. The thing is, when you see mummies, they can chase you, because, well, they're cursed, ill-mannered and their legs are wrapped in bandages individually - which is quite practical for propulsion purposes. This, however, is not so in real life. The legs are wrapped together, which makes the whole thing look rather a lot like a parsnip. And a parsnip is, generally speaking, one of the least frightening vegetables.
At least in my experience.
And although I acknowledge that a 4000 year old Egyptian parsnip chasing you can be a somewhat frightening experience, I think most people would get over it rather quickly. Especially when you take into account how it would propel itself forwards by jumping like a shrimp in a cartoon.
Also, I imagine this would have quite the impact on the self-esteem of said Egyptian-parsnip-shrimp-mummy. And it would probably not chase you all that enthusiastically anyway, more as going-through-the-motions-kind-of-thing.
Or so I imagine.
Anyway it is easter, and I'm going to go best my brother in Schnaps-drinking.
I'll work on making more focused and shorter updates in the future.
