I'm not a very good blogger, am I?

So once again, I've allowed too many weeks to pass between posts. I apologize once again, and will try to be better. Let's see...what can I tell you about this time. Well, last night, Ates and Odul came over and we all pigged out on shepherd's pie and bulgur in tomato sauce. That was quite delicious. After that we watched a goofy but compelling documentary called The Dungeon Masters, which was all about D&D culture. It was funny and sort of sad all at the same time. However, we all had a great time speculating about whether or not the one guy who was in the Air National Guard was actually gay, or if anyone in the film (especially him) would realize it. Then we proceeded to drink copious amounts of mead, giggle over Youtube videos, and play frisbee golf on the Wii. It was all good fun.

Prior to that, on Thursday the four of us went into Copenhagen to take in an English language comedy show at an Irish pub. The line-up of comics consisted of folks from Sweden, Norway, Canada, Ireland, and the U.K. In other words, many of them went for the easy U.S. jokes. I can't say I blame them, as I most likely would have fallen back on the same material. So many people back home are just making it so easy. Really, it's like they want to make us look bad to the rest of the world (and for those who are curious, I'm mostly referring to the Teabaggers here, but not exclusively).

At any rate, things are still going well, and my employers have asked me if I'd be interested in extending my contract until December. I'm thinking about, but I haven't made a firm decision yet. It would mean that I would have a job through the end of the year, which would in turn mean that I would have some good money coming in, but I'm still not sure if I want to be away from home that long. I'm still mulling it over, but I'll be sure to update everyone when I come to a decision (or whenever I update this infrequently updated blog...whichever comes first).

I'm going to sign off for now, but I'll leave you with my review of Iron Man 2 which was published in my hometown paper, the Green Bay Press Gazette. It's a short piece in which I review the film (spoiler! I liked it, but not as much as the first), as well as my experience of seeing it in another country. It can be found here. I hope you enjoy it, and I hope to write again. Bye for now! Or as they say in Denmark, hi hi!
