I left Danish on the back burner for a while… When I came back to Montréal, it hurt too much to listen to my Danish music, and watch my Danish movies, and open my Danish books… But I miss it. And I want to get back on the horse, because Danish is not an easy…… Continue reading Getting back on the horse…
Due to unverified but still concerning enough information, there has been a slight change of program regarding my upcoming trip. After thinking it over, I decided that Denmark wasn’t all that fascinating after all. The language is hellish to speak and/or understand, and there was really so little to visit anyway! No, I have set…… Continue reading Slight change of plans…
Remember the Wendy’s commercial? Good times… There is only one restaurant in Montréal, if not in Québec, that serves Scandinavian dishes. It is called “Beaufort Café” and I go there from time to time to snack on smørrebrød with my back to the windows, mentally pretending I am in Denmark! Recently, they posted the…… Continue reading Where’s the beef???
Today I got spoiled again… I know you’ll probably say you did it out of boredom. Maybe it was the reason you took time to send pieces of your day abroad, like a set of stills… But the result is the same. Today, I sat with my earphones on, I closed my eyes, I listened,…… Continue reading I dag var jeg et lille barn…
Apart, yet together… You sit on my lap, fiction meeting with reality, making me unexplainably nervous… I shake a bit, it is silly. Words at a loss for words, not like the usual me. Trying to find the witty thing to say, ending out silent and staring. Dang! Language flipping, trying my best to follow…… Continue reading Home alone…
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…
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…
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…
Yeah, dear Denmark… You know I’ve grown fond of you over the last few years. I’ve never been the type to hide my emotions well, and you never seemed to refuse my sometimes aggressive affection. (Except that time at the customs, but Fantasyland push backs don’t really count) I wonder if it is because you…… Continue reading Kære Danmark…
The committee of My Personal Danish Film Festival has met today to work on the programming. A new category of movies has been added, in order to give a little break to the non-Danish audience. Effectively, the second edition will present a selection of Danish films shot in English. The committee still working on Mr.…… Continue reading MPDFF – Update
