Back from the dark reaches of Jutland

Oh there are weekends that just come and go to fast.

Using some of overtime to take a few days off, I had an extended weekend i jutland.
Had a quick stopover at Mona place to attend her birthday party really quick like. originally I intended to skip the project entirely and get an early start and get to jutland early. But then she made puppy eyes at me and what little resolve I had to begin with went on coffe break.
glad I went though, super cozy and nice people around. ^^d

so with a bounce in my step I loaded up my car and headed for the freeway. Having spent a little longer at the birthday party than I planned I took the drive in one go. that's close to four hours on the road, damn my ass was sore by the last hour >_< don't know how truckers cope.
Incidently, my driving technique on long trips have improved leaps and bounds. first time I went to jutland, I had to refuel to car to make it home. This time I got there and back on one tank, with some to spare ^^
Usually I get around 400 km out of one tank, when I got home monday, I clicked the km reader at 650 km.
freaking awesome =D
Read an article that 10 km from 100 to 110 as is the speed limit, actually don't make much difference in travel time. But quite some in fuel consumption.
so with that in mind, I found a large truck and set myself snugly behind it, for one thing to pace myself and secondly to use the slipstream of his bulk to ease up on air resistance, thus easing up on the motor power needed to keep at speed.

But arrived in dark reaches of jutland, almost litterally smack middle of it all. Castle CatKitsu, Rikke and Michael. two dear friends, with a cozy, almost hobbit'ish house in the middle of freaking nowhere.
It's hard to discribe just how much I relax at their place, it's like I leave every worry and concern at the door.

it's amazing how days of doing nothing and everything that comes to your mind, pass so quickly ^^;
I took their little, over hyper, welsh courgi for a run/play time each morning. we played with their 360 kinect (really get the puls goin) I got to try on chain mail and swing around with swords (killed a sofa but good) watched anime, played with Loke (their adorable little tyke of a 1year old) and talked and talked.

We also visited another old friend and his girlfriend, nice meeting her. sweet girl and meet their two massive Maincoon cats o_0 I mean, freaking Greebo.

and Monday I headed home. feeling more cheerful than I had in a good while. ^^

Weekend? I just heard something go WOOSH!

So, a long weekend is comming to an end. (I had some overtime hours to whittle away, so I took friday off)

Thursday I meet up with Anja in CpH after work and had delish burgers at Sporvejen and walked around the city chatting and goofing around. Been ages since I've seen her.

Friday, I sleept in late and then headed off to town to meet up with Siri, got the downlow on her trip to New York and we saw Thor (which was actually quite good, though the blatant disregard for norse mythology was itchy. I mean, what the hell happened to Sifs golden, litterally, golden hair and if Heimdal was called the White Ase, how come he was black. but still, a fair enough superhero flick ^^d)
Siri sucked me into buy a load of candy... well, technically she asked if I wanted some candy and I head myself say yes XD so felt very bloated after the movie, my stomach is no way near able to handle sugar and E-numbers like it use to.

Saturday, up bright and Early... well around 8 anyway =P
and off to Lyngby to buy new running shoes, as the old ones were starting to mess with my feet. some run tests and counsling and 20 minuts later I had new shoes and water belt and was 1600 lighter. EMPERORS PONGO STICK o_0 anyone who says running is an equipment cheap sport can kiss my ass.

anyways, here they are

Gonna take a run in'em as soon as I've digested my breakfast, I've eaten way to much unhealthy crap this weekend. >_< I feel seriously bloated.

Was gonna swing by Hanami, But since most of the people I know that'd show up was either at svs, in Holland or well, just not there. I jumped when Kenneth called and asked if I wanted to go shopping with him.
Which turned out to a trip to Fields, where I got a pile of socks and a small pile of cloth for kenneth.
Afterwards we went to a improvised foto safari.
I got a warhammer 40k projekt in the pipes, shopping in titans onto pictures with well known buildings to give a sense of scale. (this ofcause will require me to fix my computer and get PS. but one thing at a time)
So got some pictures of Herlev hospital, which I know is slightly taller than the largest of the titans in the line up, so perfect place to start =)
we knew a large hill about 10 km out side of Herlev, so we saddled up and headed out.

gives you a rather good idea of just how massive the emperator titan is, when the building pokes up like that =3

Picture of a very gratifying moment of relisation. Advedøreværket in the horison, that's almost exsactly 10 km away in a straight line from the top of the hill. I run that distance about every other.
Ego boost? oh yes sir.

on the way down the hill, I snapped a photo of kenneth, snapping a photo of me.

 It's a big freaking hill.

some sheep at the bottom. who where were suspecious of us =3

Also, kenneth bought the new Within Tempatation CD. good stuff. but particular Demon's fate caught me.
^^y

While talking about music, that's caught me. I've been very partial to Xanders: Det burde ikke være sådan her. Really like it ^^

and now for something far more silly. After Kenneth headed off to his parents, Eva swung by and we sat down to play the conan drinking game.
Which means you gotta take a sip everytime something particular happens.
Anyone says "crom"
Arnold flexes or swings around his sword for flash.
there's naked tits.
someone dies
when he says the "crush your enemies, see them driven before you yadda yadda yadda" it's bottoms up.

The someone dies rule nearly did me in, christ alot of people gets killed in that movie ^^;
But it was good fun =D

Winging it

So, after work I headed off to amager to visit Eri, Hiro and Emma. Along the way I made a quick stop over in a shop to pick up a stuffed animal for Emma.
As I walk in, I say hello to the woman behind the counter and start looking around the store. Out of the corner of my eye noting her staring at me. Not looking, staring.
I try and pay it no mind and find some more stuff for my self and pick a doll, but get's somewhat weirded out that she just keeps staring, wondering if they recently got robbed by someone looking like me.
So I come across a showerbrush or broom for brushing down a horse, and hold it up and ask if it's either.
she politely tells me to bring it over, so she can find out. I walk over and hand it to her and it's then and there the coin drops, as she stands holding it in her hands and explains it's a showerbrush, but still staring straight at me.
ladies blind, and still manages a store, neat =) had a talking registere and everything ^^ Managed to swallow my first inclination to observe stupidly "you're blind!" I'm pretty sure she was well aware herself and just go along as if I'd know from the getgo =3

Anyways. Got cute little bunny and even cuter octopus for Emma.
And Eri got some skin creme from Ole Henriksen in a belately birthday present ^^;
