Right - Bush: "Who is the new leader of China?" Rice :"Hu is the new leader of China, sir!" Bush: "that's what I'm asking you Condi- who is in China?" This joke was written by playwright Jim sherman - But somehow I wouldn't be surprised to learn that...
Just saw the film Babel a few days ago by Alejandro GonzalezInarritu - known for previous films such as 21 grams and Amores perros.He is a wonderful filmmaker and has this "special touch", that littlesomething that makes you think long after you come...
Im often asked if I miss my tummy - mostly by other pregnant women. And I have to admit it was something I had thought about myself. But no - although you become one with your pregnant identity, losing the stomach is strangely comforting and quite a relief....
So I had heard about them quite alot, even had some warnings, warnings that I ignored of course because I believed in my roots and somehow hoped I would be protected. Or at least that by closing my eyes I would not be affected by these little party-poopers...
The media are saturated with news of the terror attacks in Norway. How do you try to understand the motives behind such atrocities without promoting or giving an outlet to the propaganda of the terrorist? And Yes I do think it's fitting to call him a...
So it turns out this country isn't perfect. Although I might have praised the ultimate "motherland of maternity" as my friend calls it, the number of babies here is not always a good thing. As Pan experienced at 5. am this morning. This is why my man...
so along with a big belly, an uncontrollable appetite and kicks coming out of me at any hour of the day, now I also have extremely vivid dreams. About what.. well about alot of things, yesterday it was about Iraq. Not your typical pregnancy dream I guess...
You constantly wonder what other's people lives are like - or compare your own to theirs. What if someone could watch you all the time - and everything you did would be documented for others to know about? That is what the film Das leben der anderen is...
yes I have one; french internet companies take AGES to connect you to the free world! Oh men ... not only that but last week I wrote two blogentries, very detailed including all my dirty little secrets and somehow - pfuff - like by accident these entries...
When you lie in hospital for more than 6 weeks and you are a total sucker for hospital tv series such as ER or Grey's Anatomy, you almost start making your own hospital drama, listening in on what's going on with your neighbours, asking questions, following...
The neighbours are driving me crazy. Well, the neighbours in the building or the restaurants all around the block or maybe both. Its clear we are in France, people are cooking ALL the time! And not some just scandinavian dishes like smorrebrod, cold sandwiches,...
How important is it to have a talk with your mother when you´re pregnant?Very. Thats why mine flew over from the homecountry to spend a little weekend in Paris. While she was here, the economy of Iceland plummeted, banks went broke in Europe and Palin...
One of the best lines in a book I have been reading recently: "Even in the worst tragedies and crisis, there's no reason to add to everyone's misery by looking miserable yourself. That's my philosophy. This is why I always wore makeup and jewelry into...
Vacation is over for now so its back to "normality". If normality is working 5 days a week to get paid at the end of the month - Yes, most of us probably have to work until we get too old to really enjoy all the free time retirement has to offer. And...
So enemy number 1 of the last 10 years was pronounced dead by the American President this morning/last night. Osama Bin Laden reportedly killed in an attack by "a small american team" in Pakistan, just a few kilometers from Islamabad. The leader of Al...
One of the biggest news story in Denmark last week was when a little 3 year old boy went missing in a wooded area at sunday lunchtime. The news quickly captured the national media and people feared the worst when darkness and cold winternight approached,...
....and I chickened out, for now. I can't decide whether the video blog is the new black or not. Granted it is easy and fun (when you get past the technical bit so things do not look totally deformed) but perhaps my love for the written word is just too...
The blog is dead. I know I have mentioned this before now it is official - all my "blog friends" have died. They have either de-activated their pages or just simply stopped writing, without even saying goodbye. It makes me sad. I will admit I am realizing...
I haven't stopped. Just dont like my blog home anymore - so looking for a new place to stay. Somewhere where you can easily blog from your phone and look back to old blogs. I have some ideas, it should not take long but I want to do it correctly. Meanwhile...
Im trying to figure out how to blog with my phone. Hear its easier when you have a special application for it. Aha.. but hang on... will the application be compatible with your blog server?? So many questions, so little time. It would just make my life...
Apparently there is alot of confusion in the world about the definition of rape. Rape would be a non-consensual sexual act (whether the word "no" has been said or not - you always need the consent of the other person) It is not ok to have sex with someone...
Not sending so many applications these days. That is because I got a project. Where I go to a special place at the same time every morning, do things during the day and bicycle home when the sun goes down. Oh and hopefully get a paycheck at the end of...
Should we laugh or cry? in 2010, A report from the United Nations tells us that women are still far, far behind men when it comes to power. That's where the dog lies burried (! as we say in Icelandic). And something needs to be done. According to the...
They are a pain and everybody hates doing them, yet a cover letter is a must these days. I did one for an advertising agency (No name) that told me politely to sod off, my application would not even be considered since I don't have a British passport....
Want to blog but ha... Have serious keybord issues with my computer... Its close to impossible to write any text longer than one sentence. This is maybe a plot by Twitter to get more members? Who wants to know my life/thoughts in one line sentences anyway?...
