Deep Packing Thoughts: It just occurred to me - I've never said at the end of any trip, "God, if only I hadn't brought this much underwear!" about 5 hours ago from web
"Denmark sun"? Don't you get the sense that she's not sure what the proper adjective is for Denmark? Julia, that would be "Danish sun"! Do you think she would have said the "Spain sun" or "Italy sun"? What a great writer...
So...when she says "wheels up" every. single. flight. on twitter, she means she's twittering as the wheels come into the plane during takeoff, right? As in, when it legitimately is unsafe to use electronic, signal-sending devices?
I would love to see her at the airport and be like "Hey security guy? She was standing outside the mens room trying to sell me coke and I DON'T mean the soft drink."
ugh flying is bad enough for me, i have a HUGE fear of it and need meds to keep myself calm... and i can only imagine how irritated i would be if some annoying satc wannabe was next to me taking pics the entire time.
that julia- she SO NICE and SO CONSIDERATE of others!
The rules don't apply to Julia. Twitter while taking off? Absolutely! Changing the start time of a date 3 times in 2 hours b/c you need to go the gym? SURE! ...It's too exhausting to write out all the other infractions...
1. Julia leaves some electronic device in a cab 2. They loose internet service 3. A tech device owned by the tech blogger malfunctions 4. Julia enters a wet t-shirt contest
I'm from Copenhagen and I can absolutely predict where they will not only go -- but where they will photograph themselves. It will be boring for her...it's not that similar to *her* New York. It's all minimalistic design ("cosmopolitan" cafes) and dark pubs for old men drinking since 11am. She will probably go to H&M (which is Swedish) and, when dining, eat some fish, if she even eats outside of any of those "cosmopolitan"/found-in-any-city restaurant. She won't like the food. Danes are very decedent; we like our pastries and fish drenched in cream sauces and fries like the rest of 'em. The cigs are heavy and the life expectancies are low.
True, Mara. I have spent some time in Copenhagen, and although you can find some flashy-ish places...she's not going to like the laid-back vibe of Denmark. Although I predict she might take some amusing photos of all those Danes on bikes!
I bet her flight is paid for since she is an invited speaker. It would not be First Class...you would have to be a big wig for that expenditure. I'm assuming it is SAS -- Newark to Copenhagen (Kopenhavn, Julia -- pronounce it! HA!)...but who knows. She sure likes her American carriers, although if it is paid for, it would most likely be on the host nation's airline (SAS is the fleet for all Scandies).
Yes, 10:19. It's too "Brooklyn" for her (though, it is not Brooklyn, but in her mind, that is...). You know, art students, kids in cafes discussing shit...lots of smokes and drinks...black clothing..."cutting edge" Scandinavian designs...etc etc
All I'm sayin' is that she won't find the pink puppy sweater shops and cupcakes 'n' coffee salons that would turn her on. It's rather dirty...*for Northern Europe*...
She's so clueless it makes me sick. A wasted plane seat, I swear.
Mara -- My brother in law lives in Copenhagen and his wife just had a baby. I would LOVE LOVE to go visit them. A wasted plane seat, for sure. (It should be mine!)
if copenhagen is too brooklyn, what will arhus, where the conference actually takes place, be? i am not looking forward to her ignorant "everything in europe is so small" blabber. why can't she leave europe alone??? at least she will not be crashing the g20 in londong. or will she? i'm scared.
OH. EM. GEE., I thought the same thing when I saw that pic posted!

RETARD.
Do anyone but teenagers and small children take pictures of the plane on the tarmac? My God, she is stunted.

ReplyDeleteThe woman covering her face in the background is classic.
ReplyDeleteI could only hope that this catches on - a whole new genre unto itself:
Anyone within the camera range of a Julia Allison photo session- PLEASE COVER YOUR FACE.
There. That should do it.
I can haz adjektives?
ReplyDeleteThat woman is doing what'd any sane person ought to -- get your fucking camera out of my face, Headband Jill!
ReplyDeletehahaha!

ReplyDeleteTime to pop in 'Final Destination' dvd, kids!

Place your bets for how long it will take until:
ReplyDelete1. Julia leaves some electronic device in a cab
2. They loose internet service
3. A tech device owned by the tech blogger malfunctions
4. Julia enters a wet t-shirt contest
Is Julia smuggling a hamster in her bouffant hairdo? Or is it just another case of Bumpits?
