Monday and Stockholm
Late last sunday me and Leo, a dear friend of mine, made the decision to get our asses up to Stockholm to sit on cafés, check out exhibitions and take photographs of Stockholm.






Though we had one problem: We had forgotten that monday is equal to no art exhibitions open. We didn't realise this until we came to moderna after trying to pay a visit to Konstfack (and taking the wrong way to the exhibit). This caused us to crash around Stockholm for something to do for quite some time.






At one point we found ourself wandering around Gamla Stan looking for a Book store/ Café to stay at and rest our tired bodies. But it sure took some time to get there as Gamla Stan often is packed with tourists, only tourist. Everywhere we could see guides speaking in German, old Americans wondering where they were and tons of other photographing.

While walking there though, I was able to spy some cool alleys. Whenever I walk around my eyes are like radars. I look up, down, left, right, everything in between and always twice. It ensures you to find some cool views.






In the end though, the trip was worthwhile. I found a book with Roland Barthes and a CD with µ-Ziq. We also walked around in Stockholm finding some nice places. The photos from these places will be uploaded later this week.






I've never thought Stockholm is my kind of city though and I think I never will. It is thrilling by now, as I am not there often, but if I would live there I would surely be bored.

Oooo, Hello, Leo! Geez, cap, are all the young Swedish boys cute?!

I love the shirt you wore to Stockholm. So retro Eurochic intellectual and fuckyou if you don't like it, sort of style. I dig it.

Yes, that's from a place I found in Gamla Stan. I looked up at the rooftops and spotted that baclony. It would be fun to see what kind of apartment that is connected to it (if there is one connected to it at all) and who lives there.

Gode Bosse i Helvetet, jag har inte sett Leo på ett tunnelbanetåg förut.

Jag gillar verkligen bilden på hustaken och MAWSEN.

Ja, det är alltsammans väldigt trevliga bilder. Egentligen borde jag tagit fler bilder men vi skyndade igenom Stockholm som om våra liv hängde på våra fötter. Detta kan ha berott på solens gassande och amerikaners glassande. Vartän vi gick såg vi dessa fläskklumpar sitta på sina arslen och undra: "Y'know what I'm sayin'?". Hemska tankar kommer ofta upp under sådana syner. SÄRSKILT tanken om att hitta en café. YO!

Amerikanska turister är visserligen fula, men jag tycker att turister i allmänhet ger Stockholm någon slags kontinental känsla.

Även om de inte är från europa utan från Japan.

Snarare inkontinental känsla.

Har har har.

Äh, jag tycker att de är roligare än samma gamla svenssons som man ser annars. Jag föredrar dock polska fraktskepp som åker igenom kanalen.

Ja, du tänder ju så oerhört på polskor enligt Anna.

Now when you say. You want me to make a song named after that right?
