By now: shopping and a haircut. It's a mullet. I look like Suzy Quatro.
Still: lovely sunshine and a lot of Danish telly. Yet more von Trier. Last night Fame the film, not the series, which I realised that I'd never seen before. It was quite good, no Lori Singer with the cello and Doris was another Doris, who was somehow nicer. The future Dr. Romano of E.R. singing Walt Whitman.
Buying Danish CD's and books: Suzanne Brøgger and Ib Michael and Karen Blixen. Cheap paperbacks.
English van-men are cheekier than their Danish counterparts. But Danish men are generally so much more attractive.
I'm feeling tired and lazy - I was going to write a long post about the melancholia that hits me every time I spend a summer in Denmark, but I think that's going to have to wait 'till later.
I guess I can always throw in a Friday Five:
1. How many times have you truly been in love?
- But I don't know?! When in a relationship, I always think I am truly in love, but sometimes, in hindsight, I realise that perhaps it was really a case of lust or need? Or greed? Maybe?
2. What was/is so great about the person you love(d) the most?
- That everything seems to fit. Like two pieces of a puzzle.
3. What qualities should a significant other have?
- But it doesn't work like that! I can very easily list a bunch of characteristics, but it doesn't matter in the end because it is usually about something entirely different, namely chemistry. That said, in order to grab my attention in the first place, he must be kind and interesting, preferably funny, I like intense and even slightly arrogant. Don't like smartasses. I like men who are long and slender and blond and look like they're 18. Never had a boyfriend like that, which is probably why.
4. Have you ever broken someone's heart?
- Hardly. Well, maybe, but not a boyfriend's.
5. If there was one thing you could teach people about love, what would it be?
- Why would I want to teach other people about love? That's just tedious.
