om sproget / on language

Jeg vil skrive bloggen på både engelsk og dansk. Hvis du kan ikke forstå ordene, fortæl mig, og jeg vil forsøge at oversætte. Hvis du er dansk, vil jeg gerne fortælle dig, jeg endnu er ved at lære sproget, og mit dansk er ikke særlig godt. Hvis du gerne vil hjælpe mig med ordene, det er rart og tak for det. Min email er somedayashtrays@gmail.com.

This blog will be written in both English and Danish. If you, as a reader, have trouble with one of those languages and would like a translation, please let me know, and I will do my best to oblige. If you are a Danish reader, please know that I am just learning, and my Danish is far from perfect. If you would like to suggest corrections please do so. Email me at somedayashtrays@gmail.com.

I København

Earlier today, while I was waiting at a stoplight, it occurred to me that now that I’m in Scandinavia, I should only listen to American music. I had this thought for about three seconds. Then I thought, what a terrible idea. Back to Air France.

That’s what I’m listening to now, and I think the highlight of my plane trip was seeing an Air France plane at the Frankfurt airport.

The lowlight of the trip so far was finding this Copenhagen music guide last night at the restaurant where the school group ate. Thrilled as I am to now have all the shows in the city listed in one place, the calendar also told me something I did not want to know: namely, that Said the Shark had played at Gimle the night before. Yes, it’s in Roskilde. Yes, it’s unlikely that I would have gone, even if I had known. And yes, it’s extremely likely that I would have fallen asleep standing up, since I’d just gotten in earlier that afternoon. But all that is beside the point, which is that I could have gone…

According to myspace, Said the Shark is next playing the City Attack festival 28. june. I’m not sure where I’ll be then, but seeing as the 28. is right in the middle of my school study tour, I’m guessing I won’t be in Copenhagen. Sad.

Please, if you know of anything interesting, feel free to recommend events. I don’t have much on my schedule right now, and to be honest (hopefully no one from the university reads this) I didn’t come here for school. I came here for music.

I haven’t listened to anything new in a while, so no mp3s this time. Soon, I hope.

And OH ALSO: While I am in Denmark, I am keeping another blog, chronicling my daily activities, or at least attempting to do. It is mainly for my parents, but if you want to know more of what I’m up to, or see pictures (because I refuse to post photos here), well, here you go: Denmark Summer 2008. There’s a link in the sidebar, too.
