we are rebuilding!
most links on this site will be down for the next few days.
the site will have limited functionality over the next few days as we have moved servers from a danish web hosting service to a u.s. service. thank you for your patience. in the mean time, take a look at an old entry below - and note the updates.
and please come back!

an agenda upon my return (with UPDATES from august 21, 2008)
so, now that i am mentally preparing to leave los angeles again, in order to return to copenhagen so that i can make this feature film, i think about the other things that i want to do more of, the things that i want to embark upon when i return here in november.
*more art gallery visits and receptions, and book readings too. i haven’t had enough of this and i feel that i barely experienced any of it. there are so many galleries, including culver city and chinatown, and i noticed that the hammer museum often hosts readings.
*buy a surf board (8’6” or perhaps a bit bigger), an autumn wet suit, and spend more time with adriana in the water (and the dolphins, the sea lions and the seals as well). UPDATE: done! and still ongoing!
*play tennis at night. UPDATE: playing tennis tonight!
*more hikes in the natural environments around los angeles, including griffith park. UPDATE: working on this.
*ride my bike from venice to pico rivera.
*take a course at santa monica community college – reintroduce myself to french or spanish or a course in something like 3D animation or a survey course in marine ecology or an intro to electrical engineering so that i can learn how to manipulate motherboards and microchips.
*volunteer for an agency that helps the homeless, or start an initiative that provides some sort of direct interaction and assistance to the homeless.
*find more cinemas like the nu art cinema on wilshire. i really enjoyed spending time there and i want to do more of that.
*shoot a short film that is specific to my los angeles experience. what is the essence of this experience?
*explore what the local theatres have to offer – not just in hollywood but also the small community theatres in venice.
*snowboard.
*spend more time along the los angeles river.
*go to joshua tree again. UPDATE: we went there in march, 2008.
*go back to big sur. spend a few nights outside but spend one night at deetjen’s inn. UPDATE: we went there in may, 2008.
*go to coachella for the music festival (with backstage passes) and book a small house in palm springs for the event. UPDATE: done! not the back stage passes, though.
*keep going for twilight walks/runs along the beach as well as the bungalow-lined walking streets in venice.
*more architectural explorations – follow souris lead and organise or participate in custom guided tours of homes and spaces.
*host a rooftop cocktail party.
*make a moveable, interactive art project.
*visit san francisco more often, and portland too. and be sure to go to asia now that you are going to be using los angeles as a base of operations. UPDATE: well, we kind of moved to san francisco, part-time.
*new year’s in troncones, mexico?
*ride my mountain bike from venice to northern malibu (county line).
*buy an earthquake kit. UPDATE: done!
*spend one night sleeping on the terrace at ray and linda’s house by pescador beach in malibu – the terrace that is perched on the cliff overlooking the pacific ocean.
*go with adriana at least once every two weeks to shima on abbott kinney; arrive early at six p.m., order only a few items, and savour that experience.
*buy tickets for some of the many different film festivals in los angeles.
*submit a film to one of the l.a. based film festivals (and remember to submit a film to the atlantic film festival in nova scotia).
*host dinner parties for friends more often. UPDATE: working on this.
*drink less coffee while living in los angeles.
*hear live music at the troubadour, the wiltern, the knitting factory west, and find a small venue where the live music is good. check out warszawa again on a saturday night.
*swim in the ocean more often. UPDATE: yes.
*borrow megan’s sea kayak and take it out for a spin.
*improve my skills in riding adriana’s skate board.
*remember to be grateful for having an opportunity to live in los angeles.
*make a project that involves friends. start with something humble, and if it succeeds, go for something more ambitious. UPDATE: working on a documentary about my friend birgit.
*put aside resources so that i can find a permanent home to share with adriana here in venice.
