What do you like to make or order for brunch?
I went out for brunch today, actually. I had scrambled eggs, bacon, pancakes with maple syrup, coffee with milk, and freshly squeezed orange juice.
God that was a boring question. Hasn't anybody read Maggie Mason's book?
The next book on my night table[1] is The Autograph Man by Zadie Smith. I bought it totally by impulse, being in the bookstore to buy something else. I guess I just liked the cover and it was a catchy title. I've only read about thirty pages of it so far so I really haven't formed an opinion of it yet.
[1] I don't actually have a night table but I like to read before going to sleep.
How did you meet your best friend(s)?
We were in school together, probably aged about 6 or 7. He had a NES. I had a Sega Master System. I said something to him along the lines of "hey, I heard you have a Nintendo. Wanna play?"
I would sleep over at his place and we rented games for the NES, staying up late playing. Good times.
I have since aquired my own NES but we've stayed very close friends, loving many of the same things; music, classic gaming, design and fashion among other things. Today we have a band together.
Also, I wish Amazon would open a Danish branch. First of all because I would love to see more competition (and lower prices) in the market for books in Danish but also because a lot of things like the "books" feature in Vox depends on the Amazon API so I can't add any of my Danish books.
I had too much coffee yesterday.
Every monday I hang out with the other member of my band, Hestene. Our steady ritual goes like this: We have dinner, a couple of beers and a cup of coffee or two and then we just hang out and write songs, goof around with the instruments or just plain goof around.
I don't know what happened yesterday. I hadn't had any coffee all day (I didn't have any classes yesterday and I mostly drink coffee when I'm working). So when we had had dinner I drank a lot of coffee thinking that I would be really productive, not having done much all day and all.
It didn't do anything. We wrote a simple drum'n'bass track and recorded a goofy cover version of The Model by Kraftwerk. My productivity yesterday was near an all-time low. Until I got home, that is.
That's when I cleaned up the comment spam on my podcast, blogged about it, listened to Zombie Nation on my iPod while reading Ulrich Beck. All this at 2:30 in the morning. I didn't go to bed until 4:30 but somehow I wasn't even tired when I got up at 9 today.
Now I know how a parent must feel when they come home to find their house completely wrecked because their teenage daughter hosted a party that got out of hand. Or does that only happen on tv?
I haven't looked at my now defunct podcast for a while but I've been thinking about podcasting again for some time now and tonight I went to look at it to see if everything was in order. It wasn't.
I didn't count but I think I deleted more than 150 spam comments.
Oh well. I've closed comments on all posts for now and if/when I get my ass in gear to begin podcasting again I'll be more careful.
What I've been contemplating doing with my podcast, by the way, is renaming it from Noise is Music to something else (simply Noise, perhaps, if that name isn't already taken) and include more topics like short video episodes or maybe interviews.
We'll see. I'll let you know if anything happens on that front. Meanwhile, please let me know if you have any comments or ideas. If you don't feel like commenting here my email address shouldn't be too hard to find.
