second dip into the ocean

Another day in the sun. Beautiful, clear blue sky. Another day we cannot let go to waste. (Many of those lately...) Today we are at Charlottenlund beach park. Yet another new thing this week and it is really nice here. And I actually went into the water, quite warm. Now I am going to continue enjoying the sun.

this is life

Been at Halvandet since 2.30 pm enjoying the sun and the nice music by the water. Now I have a huge plate of nachos and a mojito in front of me. Jealous? Employment is treating me good right now.

problems with being unemployed

A few weeks ago I decided to give Bloglovin a try. Loving it. I added all my favorite blogs and it is just perfect to have them all in one place. The problem came when I got unemployed. I did not have that many blogs I followed on a daily basis but it was enough to check in on every evening. Now, I got much more time due to obvious reasons. So I check bloglovin in the morning and in the evening. And a couple of times in between.

Hence I started looking for some other blogs that I could occupy myself with. Now I got 36 blogs on my list. Around 20 of these blogs update on a daily basis. Several with more than one post. Here is where it gets problematic. If you for some reason are busy one day, you will the next morning be up in maybe +150 posts. I will read most of these posts.

I will be in trouble when I get a life and actually am busy with other things during the day instead of refreshing bloglovin.

(You can of course also follow my blog on Bloglovin. Maybe someone else feels like joining my sister in subscribing. Yeah, she is the only one.)

miss k

I seem to be eating out a lot lately. But on the other hand I have to enjoy the last month here in Copenhagen. (You can always find excuses for everything.) Tonight I was meeting up with K from work for dinner. Lovely K, I am really going to miss her. We had a lot of fun together. At work. At parties.

At work we gossiped and talked and she was the one that made my working days fun. Until we moved and I was not sitting with her or the others anymore. And at parties, we were the last two girls standing. Us two and the guys.

Now she has to survive the working days without me. How will she manage? We met up for a nice dinner at Riz Raz where they have a really good deal for a buffet for only 89 DKK, mainly of Greek food and everything is vegetarian. Their falafel is really good. Then we sat down at a café at Strøget and had a cocktail. A piña colada for me this time.

I have been drinking many cocktails lately. But on the other hand I have to enjoy the last month here in Copenhagen...

what plan?

Do not know what is wrong with me these days. Even though I go to bed quite reasonably I am still so tired in the mornings and have trouble getting out of bed. That plan is not going so well. I just have to set my mind and make it work. But today I woke up to a clear blue sky and we cannot let that go to waste. That is why I am now lying at the beach. Chilling. With no bad consciense at all...

catching up

Bad news! The sixth season of Entourage started to air in July without me knowing it.

Good news though that it have started to air again (finally!) and I have now seen the first four episodes.

Loving this series. Loving the characther Ari Gold. And of course it does not hurt to have the pretty face of Vincent Chase (Adrian Grenier) in it.

Why am I not surprised that there is a website out there dedicated to collecting the quotes of Ari Gold. Isn't internet just fantastisc?

indulging

Let's just forget about the plan for another day. (Tomorrow!...) I guess I was tired even though I was in bed before 1 am, because I had my alarm for 9 am but snoozed until 10.30 I think... The plan was to check out this second hand store on Studiestræde that I got a tip about, Wasteland. (That is where many cool second hand stores can be found.) It was a really cool second hand store, especially since they now had 1 piece of clothing for 50 DKK, 5 for 200 DKK and 10 for 350 DKK. I managed to find a couple of cute skirts that I will used as dresses instead. Also stopped by Weekday and bought a cute pair of tees, although I think one was not supposed to be on sale, but I got the two tees for only 90 DKK. Not like I am going to quesiton that. So all in all, I got 8 pieces of clothing for only 600 DKK. Feels good. Now I am going to keep the shopping to a minimum. I promise.

But on the way home I did indulge myself into some ice cream. Finally I tried Paradis, the ice cream store that have new flavours every day. I tried the white chocolate ice cream and elder flower sherbet. I was really disappointed on the white chocolate ice cream but the elder flower sherbet tasted like heaven.

Since I was still thirsty after the ice cream I decided to indulge myself even more by buying a freshly squeezed juice from Joe & the Juice. Grapefruit, passion, and apple. Mmm...

known stranger part 2

Still have no idea who he is.

(Ok, now I am shutting down.)

night owl's action plan: becoming early bird

Another lazy ass day have passed by. I seem to have justified myself watching movies today because it has been raining. However, I sense that I probably could have come up with a reason even if it was not raining.

I should start to put my plan into action.
The plan that I should not stay up hours after midnight.
I should get up fairly early to get a good start of the day.
I should set away a couple hours every day for job hunting and CV writing.

If I manage to set away a couple of hours every day for the necessary boring stuff, then I do not have to feel bad when doing the fun stuff. All the stuff I have left to do in Copenhagen before I leave.

This plan starts as of tomorrow. I am going to shut this computer off right after I have published this post and it is only 12.30 am. That would be a very early night for me. The night owl.

eventful weekend

That is also why I did not really have time to update. With a presentable apartment I could welcome my two visitors, Lois and her sister. They came Friday afternoon and was basically thrown into a dinner party. This time Lois could finally see that I actually have friends in town since they were not out traveling. We managed to fit in ten people around the table, almost New Years Eve revisited. My beloved friends called me and had decided to have a dinner party at my place. For ten people. Since they know me, they had already decided to take care of the grocery shopping and cooking. I took care of the hosting as always.

We had a nice dinner with fajitas and a traditional 'Swedish' punch (only Swedish because I made it) that was happily appreciated as always. Then I was the perfect host and left my two guests in the apartment and headed out with the rest of the bunch to a bar. (My new favorite bar by the way, Hornsleth bar.) The nice hostess continued her good job by staying out later than planning (free shots are not good...) and forgetting her keys so she had to ring the bell and wake her guests up at 3.30 am... The next morning the perfect hostess woke up to an empty apartment since her guests had woken up several hours before and headed out to town. The hostess was a bit tired and spent some hours in the sofa watching Scrubs and eventually made it out to meet up with her guests for a late lunch.

After lunch I was all fit again (although with a bit of a bad conscience) and Saturday evening we headed out for some drinks with some friends. But we called it a night relatively early since we all was a bit tired. For different reasons. My guests for being touristy and walking around town the whole day. And me. For partying while my dear guests was sleeping in my apartment.

Sunday was spent shopping. Really! It was the first Sunday of the month so the stores was actually open. So we did some nice findings.
