It's beginning to smell
Posted Jun 7, 2000
You do not have to feel bad about, once again, not doing the washing up. You're a student. You're entitled to do so. Even if this implies an attempt of long jump when leaving your appartment.

so what about the flétrissure?
Posted Jun 4, 2000
Alright, so maybe I'm not the promising translations student I thought I might turn out to be. Then again, I never said I wanted to mess around with André Gide. "Attentes!vous étiez pour notre flétrissure..." Me, I'm still convinced there simply is a word missing somewhere in there.

The insights of the day:

1) Listen to your friends. Get a mouse. It's not the Touchpad that will develop a promising tendinitis, and you never know when that right hand of yours might come in handy.
2) All those new words you learn by writing alledgedly English texts! So "Sehnenscheidenentzündung" is tendovaginitis? I like it!
3) You may listen to that Lou Reed tape all day long, my dear; it's not like this is going to actually change anything.

furniture fun
Posted Jun 3, 2000
The easiest way of having déjà-vus, repeating mistakes you've already made a dozen times, and enjoying it? But of course! Have a nice day out at IKEA! If you have a certain amount of money and time you just see no reasonable way to spend (as apparently must have been the case with me today), a trip to this Swedish furniture theme park can be highly entertaining.
Things to do and see:
- observe young couples' disputes: IKEA has adopted the image of the furniture shop for the young and optimistic family; the result, however, is only partially successful: although it does attract lots of young couples, a visit to IKEA seems to be more of a reason for quick and painless divorce than the foundation of a happy home. Watch out for the "Now, is this tasteless or what?" stare.
- First chuckle at all the people who are shoveling towels, candles and ridiculous picture frames (you never know when they might come in handy) in their trolleys, then follow their example with doubled energy. Rejoyce in the fact that you will have spent more money on all that crap than on the total amount of approximately serious furniture.
- Halfway through, have a break at the Restaurant, eat the things you always eat there (for most people, these are the small mearballs), and have thorough think on what items you had in fact been intending to buy.
- Lie on every bed or sofa you come across.
- Stuff your pockets with the small for-free pencils.
- When home, empty your shopping bags, shake your head, then accept the fact. Make friends with the new items by memorizing their names. (At this point, I would like to say Hi! to my new carpets, Ellinge and Örslev.)
- For those who have bought some serious put-it-together-yourself furniture, congratulations! You have just acquired a great new purpose and long-time occupation .
