Brøndby vs. FCK

I haven’t been to any soccer matches in ages (probably 5-6 years), but today kicked some serious ass! Brøndby IF and FC København (Copenhagen) are the two biggest and best rivalry teams in the Danish soccer league and me and my friend were placed where the action was more intense; with the most hardcore fans. I got beer all over and roman candles were burning so close to me that I could feel the heat and the smoke surrounding me, I even got some sparks down my neck which was a bit painful, but it was all worth it. Everybody was singing, drinking beer — you know, having fun. By the way, this is coming from a guy who doesn’t have the least bit interest in soccer, except for playing it myself of course, which I actually do as often as possible. But I usually don’t give a flying fuck about it when it’s on TV, but being there… and not just being there, but actually being in the middle of chaos, it’s a feeling I want to try again.

The image was taken with my camera phone.

Fetching Cody

Two months ago I had the opportunity to catch an awesome movie called Fetching Cody, which I’ve already talked about, but today I finally ordered it. As I’ve already mentioned it might be hard actually finding the movie, but again — it’s completely worth it.

Portion Size, Then and Now

May 15th, 2008 | Stashed in Elsewhere | Comments (0)

No wonder so many American are overweight. By the way, I absolutely love how the author’s latest article is called “Five Foods That Cause Anal Leakage”.

Over the past few decades, portion sizes of everything from muffins to sandwiches have grown considerably. Unfortunately, America’s waistbands have reacted accordingly. In the 1970s, around 47 percent of Americans were overweight or obese; now 66 percent of us are. In addition, the number of just obese people has doubled, from 15 percent of our population to 30 percent.

Einstein on Religion

May 14th, 2008 | Stashed in Elsewhere | Comments (2)

A letter in which Einstein clearly states how he feels about religion is to be auctioned this week.

The word god is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this.

My admiration for him just went up a hundred-fold.

Bad Baby

A friend emailed me a link to this flash animation called Bad Baby and it’ll easily be the most bizarre and/or brilliant thing both you and I encounter today. You have been warned.

21

21

A scene from 21 (2008) starring Jim Sturgess, Kevin Spacey and Kate Bosworth.

Back in October of last year I read /Film’s 55 Must See Movies of 2008 (great list by the way) and a movie that really caught my eye was 21. It’s based upon a “fact-based story about six MIT students who were trained to become experts in card counting and subsequently took Vegas casinos for millions in winnings”. With a plot like that I immediately couldn’t wait to watch it. I did last night and I was not let down! It was even better than I had dared hope for actually. Jim Sturgess, Kevin Spacey and Kate Bosworth and all the others were simply great. I highly recommend this movie and for me, personally, this is definitely a movie for the collection once it’s released on DVD sometime in the future.
