Open-Mic, Elephants, and Polish Birthdays

            Last Wednesday, Sune and I went to an awesome open mic at Drop In for him to meet a girl he might sing with. There were so many great bands and it was awesome seeing him play... He's so good! And so cute. And I'm not biased at all! ;)  Some guy kept telling me how hott and amazing Sune was. I obviously agreed.
            Lisa, the girl Sune was meeting to play with, was a really cool character. She was so nice and just very unique. We both said how she was "just an interesting human." A good singer too. She has a cool, blues style, with lots of attitude during her song. She had a pretty interesting story too... She's from Vermont/New York, lived in China for 9 months and then moved here with her Danish boyfriend. 
          I got to meet Sys Bjerre too! I pointed her out to Sune because she had pink hair like Maria's and he said "that's Sys Bjerre... She's famous." Now, Sys Bjerre was my first and still favorite singer after moving here, so I didn't believe him for a while. I finally got the nerve to go talk to her though. She was surprised either that I knew who she was or that I was a big fan. Apparently there were a couple other famous guy musicians there, one which came and talked to me that was supposedly in a rock band in the 90's or something. 
            Ah it was just such a nice night... great music, meeting my favorite singer, seeing Sune play... and Sune and I were both extra lovey. It was so nice. We tried to watch Dark Knight Rises before my early train but I opted for cuddles and (2 hours of) sleep. Followed by chilling on the steps outside my house for an hour because I forgot my keys... If I kept up with my Mishaps, this post would be huge. 

   Here's one of Sys Bjerre's songs!


This weekend continued to be a good one. 
Friday night, I took Eugene legit Scottish whisky for his very late Christmas present/bet winnings. 
Met up with Maria here and caught up after being gone for our travels
Sune came out too for a fun now out. 
We left to go find Hornsleth Bar, a bar decorated by a very interest, explicit artist. It was too long of a line though so we just headed home. 
        Saturday started out with lazy card games, a long search for a bike key that ended up being in my pocket, good food at the Glass Market, and strategic planning on a napkin our plan of attack to fit three parties into one night. 
We also cycled over to see the elephants at the zoo! (You can see them from the park by the zoo without actually going in) Well, usually... They must've been in for dinner or something so we just personified the ducks and the drama that was going on with them and their love lives. That was funny too. 
We decided on splitting up at the start of the night and meeting up later. So Maria, Thomas and I headed to Ewelina's birthday party. 
Wine, beer, and some ridiculous "fine export Polish vodka" took its brutal toll
and Maria, Thomas, and I took a taxi home. Tak igen for det, venner! 
It was still a great time and was great seeing these friends it'd been way too long .
 Didn't make it to either of the other two parties though.
As I was about to give up, halfway up the four flights of stairs, my sweet boy asked if I wanted a piece of gum...
"You wanna a piece of me?!" I replied laughing. Those stairs can be rough. 

            On Sunday, I surprisingly woke up at 9:30 feeling great. I don't know how that happens. But I started a movie, passed out again, then woke up for an epic breakfast. We didn't do much this day besides lounge around watching silly music videos like this and this, and starting watching The Jerk again before MIT (new slang for Maria, Thomas, and I) went to retrieve our bikes from Ewelina's. Then Sune had family time, M&T had lazy time, and my phone was dead so I went home for lazy time.
 Sjov gange. :)

On our search for the elephants. Could he be more beautiful?!
          
 Here's some of Sune's songs too! :)

Tivoli and Rugby

         Adding another great week to the list for my time in Denmark. Last Tuesday, I went to an international gathering for students at DTU (Denmark Technical Institute) at the Cellar Bar. I met a couple cool people there from Belgium (Ruben), Canada, France, and Denmark and met back up with a couple of them on Friday night. We went to see one of their Spanish friends play a Latin set at a bar in the city. On our way there, we were a bit worried at how this place would be considering it was on the street well known for its... Services. But we got to the Luna Bar and it wound up being really fun. The band was actually excellent , and had everyone dancing. Ruben and his friends were a lot of fun to hang out with.          On Saturday, I went to Tivoli, the second oldest theme park, with the family and met Claus' parents and sister there. It's no wonder Tivoli inspired Walt Disney to do his own thing. It's a beautiful  amusement par...

Sunday Times {Plus a Quarterly Review}

A weekly update has now begun! If not for anything but to keep more of journal for ourselves to recap and think about each week. So much happens so quick I don't want to forget all the fun details! This week was my first full week to work with all the crew at my new job. Lots of planning with caseloads and meetings, and such. Excited to get working with the kids more in the next weeks. Dylan started his clinical this week too for his last semester of grad school! Woohoo! He's been killin' it and so close to graduating.  Monday was Labor Day and was a very cozy rainy Oregon day. It's been quite toasty lately, so this actually felt good. So we had a long walk to Peninsula Park for some roses and then hung around the casa making bags and relaxin.  Back to work on Tuesday for a good day and a rocking Crossfit after. I made some chicken tzatziki, a new fav.  Wednesday night we tried a Burmese place nearby after another very hot bike ride.  Thursday we actually went to a c...

Hej fra Danmark!

        So I've finally arrived in Denmark and all settled in already. It's awesome in every way so far; the parents are so friendly and cool, the kids are adorable, the weather is amazing (I'm the only one walking around in shorts, a T-shirt and sandals, of course), the house is a beautiful, cozy home built around 1921, I just got done with a little explorative walk and the neighborhood/area is picturesque with flowers everywhere, adorable homes, and a lake nearby... It's just wonderful.           Yesterday, after a little confusion about where to meet up, using a stranger's phone (as always), and wandering around a bit, Lotte and one of the kids picked me up from the airport greeting me with the sign shown below. We made it back to the house after a little detour (I guess Lotte gets distracted driving too!), and we had coffee. We had breads and cake they got from the bakery for me to try, and they were all delicious.       ...
