Snow Brigade

Twas a cold and grey morning today. The snow falling. City lights and headlights. People wrapped up in big, warm clothes.

I love walking in the snow. I had Mew’s Snow Brigade playing on the MP3 player. I would say it was a great coincidence, but I purposely set it to play that song. Sometimes you have to take destiny into your own hands.

Work was… different. Sanne was back from being sick. She picked the wrong day to come back. Everything was down. Internet, intranet, printer. Nothing worked. I needed to burn the files for our monthly poster on a CD, but you might remember that I switched computers? There’s no CD burner in the computer I have now. And since the entire network was down I couldn’t move the files to another computer.

Anders slept in, Søren, Ole and Kenneth were sick. Sanne still half-sick, and me tired. Sanne had to call Kenneth to work, he’s the computer techie. So he came to work sick and ran around trying to get things to work.

I twiddled my thumb for a while.

Watched the snow falling.

Eventually the office network came back and I moved the files and burnt them and then I went out in the snow to deliver the CD to the graphics place, where they print our posters.

After work I went to the playground and had fun with the goats. Katherine, you really hit the nail on the head with your description of Magnethe wondering why I didn’t come anymore. Aw that darn near broke my heart. Good guilt trip! Thank you guys, for being there and for listening.

Tonight I’m going to go to bed with a moomintroll book and a cup of warm chicken soup. With the window open and the coldness of winter in the air. That is one of my favourite places to be, under a warm blanket in a cold room with the snow outside.

In other news: Tina Dickow’s In The Red was realeased today in America. Great music from a great girl. The album just went gold in Denmark and also she was nominated for three Danish Music Awards (the Danish Grammies). So check it out now, funk soul brother. As it says on her site, the title track of the album is Free Download Of The Week on iTunes, so give that a try if you’re connected.

And that’s the end of that one.
