When in a hurry...

... you sometimes forget that your posts are supposed to be called something that begins with "When in" :)

Anyways. The movie was actually quite bad and I really ought to delete my previous post. But I won't.

I hope you had a good weekend.

Over and out!

If you're in Copenhagen tonight

Tonight Copenhagen Gay and Lesbian Film Festival is showing the movie I love you Phillip Morris in Ørstedsparken. Last night it was A single man, and well, it's free! You don't have to be a homosexual (I'm not), I just think it's a great offer. And it is important to remember to go out and enjoy the summer - even though I sort of fear that it's going to rain tonight.

The film starts at 10 PM. Be there at 9.45 at the very latest if you want a good spot to sit on. And remember warm clothes :)

When in Cincinnati, please please read this!

Today I was flickering through a book about Charley Harper and I came across some pictures of the mosaic wall in the contemporary arts center in Cincinnati. I believe the wall is called "Space for all species".
Now I would just like to know; is it as amazing in real life as I think it must be, judging from the photos I've seen? Could some one maybe try to describe to me exactly HOW amazing it is? Or isn't? Should I start dreaming? I probably won't have enough money to go to the USA for a couple of years, but it's okay to dream. It always is.

Oh, and by the way, I work in a book store at a museum, so I'm supposed to look at the books :) There aren't that many people on a Saturday morning.

When in a place where the sun is shining...

...remember that sun lotion!
I know you've heard it a billion time before, but it really is that important. Because people DO get skin cancer. And wrinkles. And no matter which one you like the least, it's reason enough to apply SPF.
Personally, I'm about this pale:





Yes, I just skipped a few lines and left a blank space of whiteness, but that is (almost) how pale I am :)
And yes, I would like to get a tan. I used to worry more about getting a tan than protecting my skin, but no matter how many hours I spend outside without any protection, I still didn't seem to be anywhere near a gorgeous "cafe latte". Then I sported being as pale as a vampire (without all the emo-ness, though) by spending no time in the sun at all, and thereby missing out on the good things that come with the light and heat.
Now I think I've found a pretty healthy middle way, by trying not to go outside from noon to 3 pm and to almost always sunscreen (SPF 20). But I enjoy sitting outside on a sunny afternoon, reading a silly book.
And I'm using one of those body lotions with a hint of self tanner. And a sun lotion that helps optimize the tan. And I'm still pale, but at least I'm not ruining my skin.

All I'm saying is that you should consider the consequences of what you do. If you really don't care about cancer and wrinkles, then fine. Go ahead. Ignore the warnings. But then you have no right to feel sorry for yourself when you get older and your skin turns into leather.

Just saying...
