Mmm… Home…

We (Julie and I) finally found a suitable apartment — not that many of my few, but dear, readers knew that we were actually looking for one. It’s 70 m2 and on the 4th floor with a view of the port (and a tiny bit of the bay) and it’s got a small, but ever so idyllic, roof terrace. It’s like some Swedish cottage dumped in the middle of Århus. Absolutely cozy and nice. Fantastic! Spectacular! Amazing! Fabulous! And on top of that it’s still affordable, though we’re both studying.

Apart from that, I’m really looking forward to moving away from this “collegium” or whatever you want to call it. I hate that I don’t have my own kitchen and bathroom. Right now I have to walk, like, 50 fucking meters to go to the bathroom or to make a cup of coffee! And, of course, sharing an apartment with Julie is going to be great.

I might be offline for a little while though (and the server too), but fear not! The server will be living with my dad from now on — and he’s getting a 2048/2048 kbit pipe, so the server will finally be able to deliver stuff at a reasonable speed. Everything seems to work out! Now all I need is a Nintendo Wii (check this out — thanks Stffn!) and everything’s perfect.

Linguistics Blog

Just want to advertise this new blog I’m part of. lingoland.kopula.dk, which is a blog written by a few students (and hopefully, sometime soon, a few teachers) at The Department of Linguistics at the University of Aarhus. We aim to give non-linguists a window into the world of linguistics, that fascinate us so much that we’ve devoted our lives to it, chosen to live in celibacy (well, chosen and chosen – let’s just say that chicks don’t usually dig linguists) and given up all hope of ever actually getting a job in the future just to study it.

I think the blog is primarilly in Danish (at least, the only posts (2) so far are — sorry, my non-Danish speaking readers), but there’s a chance a few english posts might sneak in once in a while. Enjoy!
