The Wayward Law

I just got out of seeing Brokeback Mountain. It took about 10 minutes to leave after the credits started rolling, because they decided to lock us in the theater. The guys in the theater started getting rather physical with the door in a way that wasn’t totally respectful of the door’s feelings, and the guys […]

Torv is Danish for square or market. In Denmark, there are all manner of Torvs. There are royal torvs, both old and ny. There is a West Gate Torv, which is a good torv if you are looking for my apartment or overpriced produce. There is also a torv which should not be missed: Fisketorvet. […]

My love affair with the concept of a white winter wonderland the Danish meteorological authorities that Denmark would get around 3-10 inches of snow in 48 hours. The reality of snow in Denmark is that because it snows so rarely, the country ceases to function when it snows. Our trip to Helsingør was fun, despite […]

Ok, so in Denmark, you eat a bread that you can’t find in the US. It’s called rugbrød. It’s like pumpernickel, but it’s got seriously big seeds or kernels. Who knows how it stays together?

Speaking of, there is a Kirke of Scientologi down the street from my apartment. They’re giving out free stress tests (Gratis stressprøve! Er du stresset?) . Somehow, I feel that some […]

I went to a karaoke bar for my birthday. Who knew, before yesterday, that I would learn there is a little yellow fish in the deep blue sea that needs help? Aparently, Danish dance music experts have been busy at work since my last stay coming up with the most mindless lyrics possible. The saga […]

Well, you’ll be happy to know that law students are the same the world over. I was hanging out with some Australian law students, and the first thing we did after our orientation was to take a shop keeper to task for selling a phone card that didn’t last as long as he said it […]

I made a goose today. It was tasty. It took a long time. Here is what this experience has taught me: If you’re going to try something new, try it with family, because even if it sucks (which it thankfully didn’t), they will pretend to enjoy it. I also learned not to trust others to […]
