Furniture woes
I was supposed to celebrate a friend's 30th birthday in Brussels this weekend but it would either have meant overpriced flights or neverending coach trips (11 hours plus), so I decided I don't love him that much. I stayed in Berlin instead, caught up on sleep and did some errands. And by doing errands, I mean nothing less than venturing to IKEA for the second time this week (and the 6th time since the beginning of my furnishing saga). What is worst is that it won't be the last trip into the belly of the beast. On the day I returned from IKEA to finally complete my collection of furniture with this, my bed broke (purchased 2 weeks earlier). Timing is great as usual: Next week I got 3 guests coming to stay at my place. Some malignant Nordic god is hovering nearby and cackling in an unpleasant, high-pitched voice while I plan another trip to the blue and yellow. There's nothing left but to ignore their Aryan good looks and to starte hating the Swedes. The Danish are much cuter anyway.

My first J-day
I'm back from my hiatus with a home internet connection restored, reeking of cigarettes and beer and leaving a trail of plastic snow where ever I tread. It all started with J-day, the day the first Christmas beer of the year is served by Santa Claus and his elves in restaurants all over Copenhagen. The particular restaurant where I happened to find myself at the time had been decorated as if Santa Claus himself had exploded all over the walls. Hours of drunkenness and Christmas carols later, my cell phone was gone but that was a lesser loss than my buddy Si's who had to endure "bloody sausage" jokes after an interlude with a Danish lady with overly enthusiastic hands in the park.

When the plastic snow in the bar had miraculously turned into slush, we were kicked out and I spent the night on the floor at a friend's place together with eight other people. The proximity to the wooden floor not only left me with bruises but also apparently triggered some really vivid IKEA dreams that lasted long after I returned from the trip. While I was tossing and turning, Remy (who had come to Copenhagen on Saturday morning especially to meet me) was wandering aimlessly through the streets without a means of contacting me now that my mobile was gone. It's now the second time I have left him hanging and I'm afraid that he will think it's a pattern forming.

More Christmas beer, a broken bar lamp, and shots, that tasted like Lysterine and licorice, were the return path to Drunksville. While I was only journeying through though, some of my friends decided to settle down there and buy houses. Less metaphorically: two people passed out in the hallway and Si spent more than half an hour to return from a club that was 2 minutes way, banging on the neighbor's door at 6 in the morning to let him in (because name signs are not that obvious). 3 out of 4 Drunksvillers agree: Si's cut out for mayor.
