Random notes

Am feeling mostly better. Still a little congested and coughing some, but not really a lot, so.

Midterms are basically next week. I don't expect them to be difficult.

Today I came up with a crazy idea: get a small tattoo of the national flag of every country I will visit, while in the respective country (so that would amount to, right now, Denmark, England, and France -- maybe Sweden?). I know it is crazy, and I won't do it... I don't think. Too much money. Though I am putting out some feelers... :D

(Rest assured, all reading this, this is highly unlikely to ever happen. Even if I could convince myself to spend the money on it, there are still the NEEDLES to consider. *shiver*)

Today I bought a personal-size type pizza from a bakery near DIS (Sankt Peder's Bageri). Everyone frequents this bakery for pastries (which are delicious -- side note, "Danishes" as they are called in the US are named here under the umbrella term "wienerbrød," of which there are a number of varieties), but I forgot to pack a sandwich today and so I saw them and, instead of buying a pastry, bought a tiny, fresh, homemade pepperoni pizza for 20kr. It was fantastic!

Hopefully doing something fun tomorrow with some people, after attending some art exhibit somewhere (I have to do an exhibition review for Monday...). It's a very vague looking Saturday at this point.

I signed up/paid for to go to a ballet on the 10th -- Romeo and Juliet. A couple of people I know who are in a history of ballet class went with the class and they all enjoyed it, so DIS was offering a discounted price, I'm game.

Am also trying to pre-order the new Decemberists CD but the site is down, presumably because so many people are trying to access it. The first 750 people to preorder the CD and 250 people to order the vinyl get a copy signed by the band, and a chance to win some weird instrument (also signed by the band) and two free tickets to any of the shows on their upcoming tour. So, if the site works, that's $13.00 well spent, in my opinion. If I haven't managed it in the next hour or so before I go to bed, I'll pass and let the other fans have a go. :)
