I risked my life today by visiting Ikea on a saturday. But.. I have two spare mattresses now, so if you want to come over for a København city trip, let me know!

I also bought a blender for the more serious cocktail and smoothie work :)

Thursday, July 12th, 2007

I’m addicted to website statistics. Apart from geographical visitor information (go Kiev!) one of the interesting things is the keywords that people use to get on my blog. Some of the funniest from last month:

  • roskilde mud
  • copenhagen denmark massage parlors
  • cute girls in copenhagen
  • canon in monaco
  • massage parlours in kobenhavn
  • photo of drunk danes

Less funny but interesting:

  • ardbeg 1978
  • blue rondo take five money pink floyd
  • jacob van lennepkade houseboat
  • grietje bosker
  • zyb
  • radiohead
  • danish classes
