it feels like i spent half the night listening to the birds.
unlike in other parts of the city, the birds are real here.
although i'd much rather be asleep, dreaming of that huge boat, trying to upgrade my student accomodation.
all my dreams of being back at university collide, one triggers the rest in a chain reaction that
concertinas together in a most untuneful manner. all those halls and corridors that never existed,
but still manage to make me nostalgic. strange stairways and rows of doors, shared living rooms and kitchen.
but, a boat? i don't know.
<br><br>
i finally got around to rereading and (at long last) finishing
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y:_The_Last_Man">y: the last man</a>.
it took me three or four days, and now i feel like i've <i>lost something</i>. 
there's nothing like a story concluding so completely to absolutely kill you. 
i almost wish i'd stopped a few issues short of the end, whilst it was meandering and
losing direction. i didn't need my heart broken like that. 
it was the time traveller's wife all over again. anyway. i think i can confidently say it's 
one of the best comic series i've ever read. and i mean that.
<br><br>
now i just need to act on what i've learnt.
<br><br>
um. the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDsdBB1LUto">american remake of spaced</a> is
so much worse than you could possibly imagine.
<br><br>
and i keep getting that song from the army recruitment advert in my head, the one that
could actually be an <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePYEgDmq0tU">american apparel advert</a>. 
makes me feel sick.

weekend special - two for one on sundays. the only catch is you have to
get completely wasted on friday night. but that's easy enough when
you're tag-teaming a cafe shift and getting free drinks because the beer taps
are calibrated wrong.
<br><br>
busiest shift i've ever taken though. people had to jump in and bail us out.
running out of beer on taps one, four and six. running out of glasses to put the beer in.
"you want <i>four</i> cappuccinos?". the number of times we got "cola" mixed up with
"corona" (you drunk danish need to fucking learn how to enunciate). i didn't even 
have time to drink my coffee.
<br><br>
but i think the night might be better described as a comic. at least then i can use
abstract dots and lines to fill in all the gaps. like the part of the night
where i had kenneth's keys. i can't remember that. i can <i>deduce</i> it though,
so there's no escaping the fact that it was <i>my</i> fault they became locked
inside the practice room. which is better than almost all other possibilities.
fuck knows, i might have even <i>eaten</i> them for all i know. 
at 5am that shit could really ruin your night.
<br><br>
why do these nights (originally wrote "things", nice anagram)
always end in such a fucking mess? and i'd even stopped drinking at 10pm,
excluding swigs from the various bottles of jagermeister being passed around the
hjortene crowd, of course. great gig, btw. all <i>three</i> sets.
like i remember much of the last, just jolle rolling around the floor.
<br><br>
and i still managed to get up early the next morning. had wrongs to rights
and all that. and it was a nice moment, walking around town somewhat still drunk,
the success of finding the keys. then walking all the way through vesterbro to an art exhibition.
<br><br>
making 'toad in the hole'. reading comics. playing guitar. nursing my sore neck.
sewing an irredeemable pair of trousers whilst watching avril lavigne 'rock out' in montmartre.
and now i have a week to deal with? crap.

was a bit lost yesterday. i don't know why. trying to write in danish,
nothing really working. then this morning i have dreams about dreams i used 
to have of brighton. that city is so beautiful in my dreams. all those market streets,
quarters and squares that have never really existed, that i can never go back to.
it's a crushing nostalgia, one for something that never existed and can never be reclaimed.
i hate dreams sometimes. but i did manage to rescue someone's shoe from the rising tide.
and a girl was very pleased about that. the water was warm. you dream like that you
wake up panicing you've wet the bed. but what would i know, i can only remember ever
vomiting the bed.
<br><br>
what is this, early morning stream of conciousness? no thanks. i should just start posting empty blogs.
<br><br>
what would be nice though, is if you went over to the 
<a href="http://www.emoware.org/drunken-butterfly/">drunken butterfly</a> website
and left us a nice comment in the guestbook. especially if we went to the effort of
making and sending you our new CD. even if you evidently didn't like it.
<br><br>
our weekend was a blur of dinner parties. champagne and red wine, forcing people to cook vegan,
and me feeling much more sociable than normal. and then the complete opposite, me forcing dairy free
on other people, and feeling rather unsociable. i don't know why. 
but we had music courtesy of dj gallowslut, the four CD compilations i have.
they're surprisingly good dinner party music. well, if only you ignore the occasional glitchcore or metal onslaught.
there's some good conversation pieces in there. potato clocks and such.
<br><br>
anyway, there's work to be done. and i wish games like doomrl wouldn't keep a total record 
of the time you've spent playing.

the problem with my latest (and most epic) project, of completely overhauling the
drunken butterfly website with a database and multi-user interface, is that no one
can actually see it. and only jolle and kenneth get to appreciate it at all.
you'll just have to take my word for how brilliant it is. every line of code
is like a beautiful melody cascading into the void.
<br><br>
now i'm just waiting for you to come inject me with your hot SQL junk.
come completely ruin my database.
<br><br>
the problem is that my eyebrows have stopped working. like crying tears of sweat at 228 watts.
it's not ideal.
<br><br>
so instead i started getting hooked on fractal mazes
(<a href="http://www.mathpuzzle.com/smallfractalmaze.gif">a cute example</a>).
and then of course i stumbled upon
<a href="http://www.astrolog.org/labyrnth/hypermaz.htm">hypermazes</a>,
and everything kind of went wrong from there on.
<br><br>
no, the problem is that when it stops snowing it's going to start raining.
that's something i really can't be dealing with right now.

it can keep snowing for all i care. it's pretty enough. 
if it keeps snowing like this all year round i could be happy.
keep layering clean snow over the dirty. and i'll just put on some neil young or johnny cash.
we'll be fine through to december.
<br><br>
i've been having dreams in ascii the last few nights. being attacked by yellow A's and V's.
all those red dots and hashes, they're a sign i've been over doing something, 
but i can't quite work out what.
<br><br>
and twenty four hour clocks and twelve note octaves have completely destroyed my concept of the numbers
13 to 19 (inclusive). the 2 in 20+ is strong enough to drag it out of the dozen, 
but i just can't see 15 without thinking "three". 
<br><br>
eight hour band practice without drinking a single beer. that's impressive right?
