Emotional Rollercoaster

2009-09-30T22:50:00.000+02:00

..the story of my summer holiday 2009.

The semester ended with a B in both subjects, quite nice after the C and E last semester. After the last exam my class had a grill party to celebrate and another smaller one a couple of days later for those of us who were not at Roskilde Festival. Two nice evenings. The day after that it was the third of july, my mothers birthday. Danish rock band Magtens Korridor played at Tivoli here in Århus that day which my parents wanted to see, so they came here for that and at the same time I could come home with them. My siblings were at Roskilde and scout camp, so it were just the three of us. We eat at Tivoli, a nice buffet, before the concert, and eventhough it's not the kind of music I usually hear it was a fine concert.

The next weekend was the time of the Britney Spears concert at Parken, Copenhagen, for which I had bought a ticket. I borrowed my mothers car and drove to Århus the day before, so the trip on the day of the concert were a little shorter. Before driving to the concert I went across the border to Germany to buy some cheap soda and booze. Some six 24 packs soda, one 24 pack cider, a Morgan rome and some candy. Then to Copenhagen. It was an awesome concert in some ways, but in some other ways not so much. It was probably the most spectacular scene show in any concert ever. However it was playback except for 'Everytime' which was quite beautiful. Anyway I wouldn't wanna have missed it, but I do hope next time she drops the big scene show and sings instead :).

Since I wasn't going on any vacations this summer I was hoping to watch a lot of Tour De France, which I did, and a lot of July went with that. After the concert I got a flu which lasted almost 2 weeks :/ So that caused me to be very little active in the middle of July. On the 18th it was my birthday, so the day before (because my brother was going to a wedding on the actual day) we, my parents and siblings, took on a small trip. First to this place were they've made a miniature copy of the world (picture), a place I've wanted to go for a long time. After that we went to Mariager, a small city at the coast, where we walked around a bit and got something to eat.
A small week later my brother had a housewarming party were me, my sister and her boyfriend were invited, other guests were his former roomates and scout friends. Which meant there were not that many people I knew, but it turned out to be fine party none the less.

After that the two last stages in Tour De France. The absolut highlight of which were ofcourse dane Nicky Sørensen's stage win, and a beautiful one at that. His facial expression when driving across the finish line was so awesome (picture). As you should know Contador won, not exactly my favourite rider after him getting a free victory in 2007. A goal of mine this year was to find a new rider to cheer on in the years to come, preferably someone young I can see improve in the coming years. This since my previous favourites are not the Tour anymore, such as Indurain, Mancebo and Rasmussen. Hopefully one of two of these will be back though. However I noticed Tony Martin as a good candidate. Apart from a single mountain stage where he lost a lot he did quite nice and hopefully in the years to come he can do even better. And ofcourse I can't help but like the Shlecks.

In end july my grandfather was sent to the hospital, bad heart, after couple of days there were talks of him being sent home, but he suddenly got much worse and died the 2nd august, with funeral the 7th.

On the 8th I went back to Århus for a movie night with some of my classmates. We saw Hot Shots! Part Deux, Ghost Busters, Die Hard, Dawn of the Dead, Team America: World Police. Many of which not really my normal type of movie, but despise that and the awful pizza it was a nice night.

I stayed in Århus the next two weeks not doing that much. I started cycling every two or three days untill I got a flat tire. This happened while I was cycling home from Bilka were I bought a new camera. A Canon Ixus 110 is.

I went back to my parents place for the last week because of two parties the last two weekends. First was a 22 birthday party with one of my friends from high school. Awesome party, seeing some of my old friends that I don't see that often anymore. The next weekend was the wedding of one of my parents old friends. This was the first wedding I ever been to, so that was kind of exciting eventhough it was pretty low key. Next day I went back to Århus to get ready for the new semester.

Lying positions

2009-06-28T16:52:00.002+02:00

So lately I've been having a hard time finding a good lying position when going to sleep, always moving around and such. Maybe it's because I'm getting so old now that I've been lying a lot and have used up all the good lying position, so I can't find any good ones anymore?

The King is Dead

2009-06-26T21:06:00.003+02:00

At first didn't want to write about this, as I don't really write about that much stuff that happens, but it did affect me a lot today and last night. The king of pop died, eventhough I'm not really a fan of him, I have no problem calling him that. Last night around 23 people started pasting links in IRC saying he had had a heart attack. Soon there were rumours he was dead. I wanted to get some better confirmation, but knowing from experience, when rumours come like that they're most likely true.

I followed it live on CNN.com a short while and then saw two episodes of Friends (The one with the proposal part 1 and 2). After that I tuned it at CNN.com again and short after CNN had confirmed the death. Followed it for a while, just wanting to follow what is arguably the "biggest" death in my lifetime.

I think I've never watched as many news transmissions as I've done today, saw two on DR Update and TV2 news twice aswell. I even bought a news paper (Ekstra Bladet). Also downloaded the Thriller album today, and saw a guy who had bought some best of album of him at the pizza place.

As I said I've never really been a big fan of him, but I've still heard his songs a lot ofcourse. I remember following the decision of his trial in 2005 talking about it on IRC being very happy that he was found not guilty. One day at the danish emergency management agency driving to or from a running session, we heard Billie Jean in the radio and talked about him. After that I heard that song a lot for some time. During the first week at uni we had some singing competition thing where I had to sing Billie Jean, not an easy song to sing :-).

He made some amazing songs and has surely inspired many of those pop artists I listen to today. He was a big icon and it still hard to believe he is really dead.

EOL site: Teams

2009-06-04T17:13:00.005+02:00

As you may know I'm making the website for the upcoming elma online. I'll write some posts about some of the features that I make, or maybe just this one post, we'll see.

Recently I've been working on how teams should work. At first you could just join any team, but because of the team rankings this was not such a good idea. It's not totally decided yet which ranking system we're going to use and how the team ranking is going to work. However team ranking might work a bit like this. Right now it's an average of the players in team, but someone suggested that instead it works like the individual ranking, so that in a battle the best player of each team in that battle counts for the team ranking that battle and the ranking points achieved is calculated based on the teams and other teams ranking.

This is why it is important that no one plays a battle while in a wrong team, hence fucking up the team ranking. The solution I decided on after discussing it a bit with kd is as follows. By default you can join any team you like. Anyone in a team can then lock and unlock the team. So when the team is locked obviously no one can join it. It also saves a history of which teams you've been in when. So that in case someone joins an unlocked team he is not part of, plays a battle, and fucks up the teams ranking, we can edit his team history and recalculate the team rankings using the team history.

I have coded it all except the part that recalculates the team ranking according to the team history. So I hope I'll be able to so all this works ;-)

And sorry it all this doesn't make any sense, but it does in my head atleast.

Goodbye Scrubs

2009-05-08T12:11:00.003+02:00

So last night was the last episode of Scrubs. Life feels so empty today...

Started watching it at the end of season four, catching up over the spring and summer. Since then it has been one of my very favourite series. The finale was a great ending, I especially liked the fantasy at the end, getting a glimpse of what might happen in the future for the characters. After watching it I couldn't think of anything else, so spent the the rest of the evening reading scrubs forums, searching wallpapers, poster, other stuff, listening music from the show and eventually started rewatching first couple of eps from first season.

I've had a lot great times with Scrubs, such as watching it at the hotel in Manchester, and just watching it every week, and it has gotten me through some tough times, such as the night before my eurotrip being really nervous.

Thank you Scrubs.

Sunday night nostalgia

2009-03-17T15:31:00.002+01:00

Saturday afternoon I suddenly heard a big BANG! and all the power in my apartment was gone. After turning on the relay again I realised it was my computer that had burned out. After telling about it on #ranks aph0 said he was max sure it was the PSU that had burned out.

After reading some reviews I decided on a Corsair HX520W, to replace the old, in the hope that on other parts had burned out with it. I found a local store that had it so I could get it from there already monday.

This all leads to what I really wanted to say. As I couldn't use my stationary computer with all my mp3's I used my laptop, and at one point heard some songs from youtube. I ended up hearing/seeing a lot of more or less nostalgic songs, and made a playlist of them.

To get back to the PSU, I got the new one monday, put it in, and it worked \o/.

Update: Since Eurotrip

2008-10-01T17:37:00.000+02:00

Didn't want to do any other posts before I was finished with the posts about my eurotrip, so here's a little update on what's been going on since.

A week or so after I got home I started looking for a job. Planned on getting a job for three months so I could have a good long summer holiday before maybe starting on university or something. After searching some I found a temp agency which I figured might be the best solution since I didn't need a job for so long. It turned out to be a good solution, not that the things I got to do was especially exciting, just simple factory stuff. However the temp agency had a lot of work, so there were only like three or four days during those three months where I didn't work, of those days I wanted to work. Quitted at the end of june.

During those three months it was also a very big priority to figure out what I wanted to do after the summer. I was pretty certain I wanted to go to university as I really liked the time in high school I thought it could be cool. However I was, and still am for that matter, really not sure what I wanna do/be eventually. However a field that I've been somewhat interested in for a long time has been architecture. Back in tenth grade when we did projects about what we wanna be I made mine about that. Then for a long time I didn't think that much of becoming that, but in senior year in high school we were at this education messe where I where at a lecture about architecture and that kind of got me thinking of that again. Also a couple of series and movies has had influence, such as Ted Mosby who's an architect in How I Met Your Mother. Anyway this were the different educations that I considered:

Architect School (Århus)
Engineer in Architecture and Design (Ålborg)
Landscape architecture
Movie- and Media Science (Copenhagen)
Media Science (Århus/Odense)
Digital Design - IT esthetics and Interaction (Århus)

However with most of these there were some problems. For Architect school I would need a much highter grade or go to some entrance examination which I didn't get around to. For Engineer in Architecture and Design aswell as Landscape architecture I needed two subjects (chemistry and physics) which I didn't have time to take before september when I found that out. As for Movie- and Media Science aswell as Media Science I also needed a higher grade unless I wanted to go to Odense, and on second thought I figured out that it wasn't really what I wanted to do. Digital Design however was the only one I could get directly into.

So eventually the decision I made was to choose Architect school as first priority and Digital Design as second, well knowing that I would be very lucky to get into Architect School. Digital Design is starting it's only second year this year, so it hard to say what it really is, so I thought I could just try it, and if after half a year I hated it, I would still have time to take the nessecary courses to get into Engineer in Architecture and Design.

Some time during this period I discovered the band Paramore. They played in Copenhagen in June so I took a quick decision to go see them. On the day of the concert I took the train to copenhagen where I'd booked a room in a hotel and took the train back the next day. As previously mentioned Avril Lavigne also played in Copenhagen in June, which I'd bought ticket for already in January. For that concert I borrowed my mothers car and drove there at the day at the concert and took home the same night. Both concerts were pretty awesome, especially Avril Lavigne =)

In July I was on vacation with my family and my fathers sister and her family to Corsica for two weeks. Hot weather, bathing, watching the nature, eating were some of the highlights.

July 31st I got accepted on Digital Design. So August went with finding an apartment and moving. Pictures here. On August 25th I started on the university but more about that in another post.

I really missed you this year special award
A new special award that won't have any nominees, but will be given to those, if any, shows that were cancelled a season ago and that I really missed this year.

March 18 Hamburg/Denmark

2008-09-02T21:25:00.002+02:00

After waking up and checking out of my hotel room I took the metro to the train station. I still had some time before the train departed so I found a logage box for my bag so I could walk around a bit without having to carry that with me. I found a pizza place at the station for lunch. Other than that I spent the time walking around a bit in the city and looking at the shops at the station.

Changed trains in Padburg and Fredericia and was in Århus in the evening where my parents, my sister and a friend of hers were to pick me up. As they hadn't gotten any dinner either we found some highway eating place to eat at.

After that it was straight home <3

March 17 Nightwish

2008-07-31T12:28:00.003+02:00

Before the concert I didn't felt like doing much so I watched a little TV in my room, some Paris-Nice and some A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila. After looking some at my Hamburg map I decided on which metro station to go to for the concert, there weren't any really close, but it wasn't too bad. Color Line Area where the concert took place were quite big, only bigger one I was at were The o2 arena.

Cool concert with fire and everything. A lot of leather wearing and goth kind of people there.

After the concert I walked back to the metro station, but nothing was written on the monitors, so I was a little afraid I couldn't get home, but as there were a lot of other people waiting aswell I guess there might come one. There did, it just didn't show on the screen untill five minutes before. Had to change metro at the hauptbaunhof where I went by McD for a McChicken meal, waiting in a long queue first. When I took the metro back to my hostel I was totally alone in my waggon. Back at the hostel I tried opening the door with the key I'd gotten but couldn't. There were two doors so tried both but nothing worked and started getting worried. However I kept trying and eventually it opened and I was quite reliefed. Quite a mongo lock though. Then I could eat my McChicken in my room.

March 16 Lille/Hamburg

2008-07-31T12:21:00.003+02:00

From the hotel back to the train station with the metro and finding my train to Hamburg. Once in Hamburg I once again had to figure out a new metro system. But I managed, maybe even legally. My hostel was in the St. Pauli area, but even though I arrived there in the evening there wasn't any hookers or mafia, only a couple of homeless people, atleast in the area I were.

From this day and on I didn't get any notes written so I might not remember everything, as for food I might have bought a bic mac meal at the train station which I brought to the hostel.

March 15 Manchester/Lille

2008-07-09T22:37:00.002+02:00

After getting breakfast at the hotel I walked to the train station to take the train to London. The area around the train station in London I knew well from when I'd stayed there so I went to the nearby McDonalds for dinner. Afterwards there were still some time before the Eurostar to Lille that I'd booked departed, so I waited around in the train station for some time before checking in. Would have to say it's quite a sucky train station to wait in, as there's almost no benches, as well as no litter boxes.

While waiting in the Eurostart waiting area after checking in, this really hot girl sat in front of me. So I took a couple of paprazzi pictures of her with my mobile :P. See them here: 1 2 3 4

The Eurostart train was soon in Lille. At the station I bought a map of Lille to find my hotel. I took the metro to the nearest station and walked the rest of the way to the hotel. This hotel was one of the more expensive ones, so also quite nice, and a big room which also had a bath tub which I used that evening.

March 14 Dinosaurs and Mommies

2008-07-01T17:12:00.002+02:00

As the first thing that day I went to an IMAX cinema to see if anything interesting was playing. There weren't really any IMAX stuff, expect an Hannah Montana concert, but there were some interesting movies, thought not untill later on the day. So I went to the Manchester Museum instead which also was placed in the Manchester University campus (like the concert place). It was free to get in and they had some really cool stuff, such as a Tyrannosaurus Rex, around 5-8 mommies and a lot of stuffed animals.

When I was done in the museum I went back to the IMAX cinema and saw Semi Pro. The cinema was quite close the Arndale so I went in there afterwards to get something to eat. However the eating area was closing at that time so I had to find some other place. I found an Subway not far from there, in which I bought an Italian BMT (like on the day of the panic concert) which I eat at the hotel, after stopping by some small supermarket for some drinks.

March 13 Urbis

2008-07-01T17:06:00.002+02:00

After breakfast at the hotel I went to Urbis, which is some exhibition hall. When I found it there were some school class on their way in so I waited a bit with going in, and instead took a look at some surrounding things, such as an old church and a river. Inside Urbis there were an Advertising exhibition and and Manga exhibition which opened that very day, and actually not untill a little while after I arrived.

After seeing that and buying an Manga Clip Art book in the giftshop I went to the Manchester Arndale again. I bought a used version of the Torino 2006 game. After that I didn't felt like doing much more and went back to the hotel where I saw two episodes of The Class, Friends and Scrubs. For dinner I went back to Arndale again and had some at KFC.

March 12 Panic at the Disco

2008-06-23T17:55:00.002+02:00

After eating breakfast at the hotel, which had a nice sortiment compared to the one in Lyon, I went to explore the nearby parts of the city. I came by this huge shopping centre called Manchester Arndale which I walked around in for a while, but didn't buy anything. It also had an eating place on the second floor, consisting of a bunch of fast food chains around in a circle with a large seating area in the middle.

As the time of the concert approched I walked to concert place which was inside the Manchester University Campus. After finding the concert place I searched for somewhere to eat and eventually found a subway which I decided to try out. I got an Italian BMT which was really good.

Then I could go back to the concert place a queue for some time before getting in. I can't remember the name of the warm up band, but after them Panic came on. They didn't play for that long, but atleast played all the songs that I know.

March 11 London/Manchester

2008-06-05T15:19:00.002+02:00

Hadn't made any plans as for which trains to take from London to Manchester as it's not that far and there's a lot of train going there every day. So I went to the train station and found a train that gave me time to also buy an eurostar ticket for when I'm going back from London to Lille. I changed trains in Sheffield where I also had lunch at a Burger King.

When I got to Manchester I first checked out the metro kinda train they had, but it seemed they didn't go near to where I was going. So I took a cab to my hostel. When I got there the placed was locked and there was a note to call this number for hostel inquiries. I called it but the number didn't exists. So there I was in some southern Manchester suburb with no where to sleep. Anyway, I got a cab back to the train station. I recalled there were some hotel booth there but appearently that had been somewhere else. So I started walking around to find a place, and eventually found a place with a decent price, which also luckily had a room for me for those four nights if I changed room after the first night.

For dinner I found a pizza hut and had a Hawaii deep pan with pepperoni. A combination that has lately grown to be my favorite pizza (with or without the deep pan).

March 10 Covent Garden, Leicester Square ect.

2008-06-05T15:08:00.003+02:00

In the afternoon I went back to Covent Garden again, as it had been closed the day before. It weren't all that interesting though. The small shops and such didn't have much stuff I was interested in. And it was raining a bit aswell, so there weren't anything going on outside. I thought about going to see the Lion King musical, but they weren't showing it that day. So after walking around there a bit I went into a nearby HMV store where I bought a couple of DVDs and a CD: The Pursuit of Happyness, Hollywoodland, Will Ferrel Box (Old School and Anchorman) and The Corrs - Live in Dublin.

As advised in the mini metro card I had I went to the Leicester metro station instead of the Covent Garden one, as that one can be a bit crowded. On my way there I came by Leicester Square, which I checked out a bit. It was mostly a lot of cinemas in a circle and a small park in the middle.
