Two months since I last wrote a blog! I wish I could say " I was away on holiday", which I was, but in this day and age that is hardly an excuse since you are connected all the time (not least through the phone, but as I have mentioned before, blogging...
Hypnotic, isn't it? Danish couple P.S and Marie Krøyer, famous painters and husband and wife that lived in the beautiful area of Skagen in Denmark in the late eighteen hundreds. I stumbled across this picture last week, during one of those mornings where...
Yes yes, happy new year. Didn't feel like writing it in a FB status- although every other person on the planet seems to have done so! My new year moment was spent comforting my two year old who suddenly has become afraid of alot of things (but of course,...
Its cool to say you have cool friends. Because somehow that makes you cool as well. Its even better when its true (because many might say it but they might be lying, even worse, not realize their friends are lame). Rest assured Im not lying, so see for...
Why is this blog so long? Because I quote ALOT of Tv shows!!! My generation, often called generation X, is the generation that saw the birth of the music videos, home computers, video games (many predicted nintendo and later sms-addicts would make the...
HAHAHAHA something proper: Watch misses mumintroll HERE instead for the smallnose version... but seriously, I have a dream and when I get past the technical hurdles, how knows, you might live it with me...this blog might become more interesting than it...
I have been busy at work. There seems to be moments where the universe thinks it's time for a new communication solution. We always seem to get several projects exactly at the same time while its completely dead in between and sometimes you have to be...
In december 2008: "Hi my name is Kolka and Im a news junkie" Well not anymore. I got over my addiction, at least for now. Granted, I dont live in a cave and I would have a hard time not knowing ANYTHING about current events but it is fair to say that...
My first holidays in Denmark are over. I am pretty pleased that I could spend christmas at home and not at the hospital. After 9 weeks in hospital I was allowed to go home, but only by promissing to do nothing more there then I was already doing in room...
Big D-day here in France, I've always found these co-memorations about wars and lost soldiers a bit strange but that's perhaps because I grew up in an armyless country. I have a problem with people who chose to work in any kind of armed forces..because...
My last big birthday was ten years ago. And how much has happened in that time. I have lived in 3 countries,been heartbroken twice, been sad but also been the happiest I've ever been, I finished a university degree, worked for 4 tv stations, lived with...
Because we all like to eat and because the Internet has zillion food recipes, I've decided to link to good food blogs or forums, post some of the good ones and even occasionally put in some of my own recipes under *CHef Kolka* here on the menu to the...
So we are settled in our Mansion here in Copenhagen city. Queen Margrethe would be envious, well that is if she had lived in the 30 squaremeters in Paris before- on second thought, she has probably never lived in anything smaller that 1000 squaremeters...
I feel inspiration is coming to me again. And as usual it is coming through meeting people. New and old. Friends are always a good source of information and good advice. Therefore having visitors here in the city of the happy people has lifted my spirit....
The day yesterday finally came and went and we are relieved. Everything seems to be going fine, the baby is ready but the strange itchy thing will be closely monitored at the hospital from now on and until the birth. But when will that be? Impossible...
Lets hope they can work out their differences and that Obama will choose Senator Clinton for State Secretary. That would certainly appease Clinton supporters and Im sure she would do a great job. Funny how the media say it could be a big baggage for Obama...
So I see from discussions on the www (notably friends on facebook) that many are disturbed by the mass arrests of around 1000 people made by police on saturday in CPH (perhaps because of the strong images like this one on top circulating in the media...
The sad flag.. like the union, it probably needs some wind beneath its wings. A day after the European parliamentary election (which I have to admit noone in this household voted in) it's clear that Europeans could not care less. Well perhaps 40% less,...
So you're thinking, yet another blog about this supposed plane crash in the Atlantic. Yes, and the numbers ring in my head: 228 passangers, last spoken to at 3:33 local time, 12 members of the crew on board, Flight AF 477, 32 nationalities represented...
So Miss Palin has now come out and commented on the expenses made by the republican party for her clothes and make up... against the advise of her aides and of the GOP campaign. They must have been plucking their hairs, this apparently being something...
Reading the first newspaper I've read in a looong time I discovered the universe I had forgotten about for a few months: the crazy political world in France. (Reading is not short of a luxury the first months of motherhood, unless you read really fast...
Something I thought I would never miss in the countdown to christmas was book advertising. Now I just can't help but wonder why so few books are on commercials here in France just before christmas. I never see one on tv or hear special adverts on the...
Iceland, Islande, Ísland... I didn't think I would hear people talk about it so much ever, but it seems that the little Island up north has become a symbol for the international crisis all around the world. Often dubbed "The first national casualty" of...
We had been waiting for this since early 1997- a human birdflu and something contagious enough to make alot of people sweat (literally) . Oh, and when I say "we" I mean the people in news media of course, which incendently Im not part of anymore, unless...
The internet is just wonderful. Planning ahead has become a state of the art with the help of technology. You can google everything (how happy must the creators of Google be: "googleling" has become a verb!), whether you have seen something and want to...
