Weird earworm…

« Vers d’oreilles » were a common thing for her. Very common. What was less common was to have a song she didn’t know, lingering in the back of her head. It had been there for weeks, just a short 10, maybe 15 seconds of a mysterious women’s voice singing. There was an eeriness to it that…… Continue reading Weird earworm…

Fjollet…

  Word of the day… Fjollet, silly… I wonder if Danes’ fjollet has the same twist silly has. Translation in French would be “idiot, stupide, ridicule, bête, sot…” which are all very different from silly. I might be wrong, English being my second language, and not considering I master it 100%, but silly is not a…… Continue reading Fjollet…

Surprise, surprise…

I got some visit from Denmark today. If you’ve been following me the least bit, you know that is big. If you have not… It is big! Yesterday I had had a call from Denmark… Not from a Dane per say, but that didn’t make any difference. Denmark called and I answered. And we had a…… Continue reading Surprise, surprise…

You won…

You did. It is not like me to let you, not anymore at least. You had your good  years, but I had to calm you down. You silly me with the silly plans of taking over the world and having fun and such silly agendas. We are older now… I am, no matter what you…… Continue reading You won…

International Day of the Day…

You know me… Always “à l’affût de” every International Day, to keep you informed. Today is International Day of Opening an Umbrella Indoors. I was a bit reluctant to participate, since there is a superstition, here in Québec at least, saying that opening an umbrella in your house will bring you bad luck. I am…… Continue reading International Day of the Day…

Awakening…

In the early hours of the morning, she awakens. The sun is shining brightly, and the neighbour has chosen today as a good day to hammer his life on the adjoining wall of their apartments. She tries to tell herself it will end soon, knowing it won’t. She wonders if the man next door is…… Continue reading Awakening…

Living dangerously…

I can be such a daredevil. I can be wild and mindless and do the craziest things… Sunday morning, sitting on the couch, preparing posts that probably won’t make it to the “Publish” key, I tune in the Adult Pop channel but I leave the Stingray application off. Dang am I daring! To those of…… Continue reading Living dangerously…

Imponerende…

Din beskeder begynder at være meget imponerende. Translation; “Your messages are becoming very impressive”… Maybe am I just an easily pleased girl, but it was worth a thousand empty compliments. Too bad I don’t exclusively communicate by text messages. Too bad I don’t even own a cellphone! Then I would be quite an imponerende pige,…… Continue reading Imponerende…

Smiley story…

Last day of working for this week… Det sidste! At last. I put my coat and my boots on, gathered my purse and my lunch bag and got ready to head for the office. Just another day, wasn’t it? Just the usual “métro-boulot-dodo”, minus the subway that is of no use for me… I stepped…… Continue reading Smiley story…
