I've created a LiveJournal account to mirror this stuff into, for the convenience of some readers. (And because I don't want to prove my ability to do pattern recognition every time I comment.) I kinda wish I had gone with the spelling "Svendlemaus" rather than "Svendelmaus", but spilt milk, etc. I don't imagine I'll be changing what I write, so I doubt I'll be doing any of the memes, tests or other things that proliferate in LJs.
Unfortunately, I can't think of a nice way to show when there are comments already - I've decided to keep comments here, rather than scattered over both. And I'm tossing up between showing the whole entry, or simply having the first paragraph or two, and then having a "cut" (which would be a link to the actual entry) - I tend to bounce randomly between topics, but perhaps people would just use it as an indicator that I've written something.
Since I'm doing it for the convenience of you, the readers, comments one way or the other from those affected would be appreciated.

I'm contemplating how to provoke Debbie (and Matt) into posting on their blogs more often; though maybe the magic would be lost if they had to "force it". Maybe if I offered to make them a cocktail for every ten entries? I've got some crazy Danish blackberry rum (made by Peter Herring, the same people who make Cherry Herring) that I'm sure could be the basis of something... interesting. >;)
At least there are some people I can rely on to write something most days - I'm lookin' in your direction, Jenni. Yes, that does mean that I'm not planning to offer you cocktails, sorry. How about candy instead? :)

"Oh, What A Night" is currently playing brain-tag among some of my co-workers - one finally manages to get it out of their head, and then they're re-infected by one of the others. Someone talked about getting "99 Red Ballons" stuck in their head for two weeks, which nearly caused their partner to throw them out of the house.
Unfortunately, I was trying to think of some other song - any other song - and now I have Vera Lynn singing "Wish Me Luck As You Wave Me Goodbye" stuck in my head. I'm not sure that this is actually an improvement, since I don't actually know all of the words. Maybe being able to get through to the end will expunge it. I'll try the "random other music" treatment first.

Posted by: Jenni at March 24, 2005 4:28 PMYep, I'll try more often if there are cocktails in it - especially Toffee Apples...
Posted by: Debz at March 25, 2005 3:10 PMWell, toffee-apples are doable, I think, though I've got to get some sour apple schnapps. And cranberry juice.
Okay, that's two of the three ingredients, admittedly... and I've got a feeling that I might have butterscotch cream, rather than the schnapps, so that's three out of three... but nevertheless, doable. ;)
If you try to fool me with one-word posts, however, you will receive the punishment that is the Terrible Gammeldansk. Do not risk it, unless you are secretly Danish!
