An honorable mention.
I was mentioned on this cool blog. You should check it out if you like sourced things, like I do. It's pretty sweet. On Wednesday, I'm going to New York for a month, so if you're there, give me a call. I'm off to do some pre-travel laundry, and since I can't seem to find a laundromat in Neukölln, I'm forced to venture far away. I'm not even going to say how far. It's embarassing.
Currently being played a lot on my On-The-Go:
Massive Attack - Splitting The Atom
Kris Menace & Lifelike - Discopolis
Zwicker - Who You Are (Junior Boys version)
Bruce Springsteen - The Wrestler
Jesse Rose - Touch My Horn (Crookers version)
Yazoo - Don't Go
Air & Jean-Jacques Perrey - Cosmic Bird
Röyksopp - Happy Up Here (Breakbot version)
Yazoo - Situation (Hercules & Love Affair version)
Cloud - What You Want (Infiltrators version)
Johnny Flynn & The Sussex Wit- Eyeless in Holloway

Amazing track from 1997
They wrote a little something about me on this nice blog. Now, I'm off to see Knut the polar bear for Niclas birthday. Happy birthday, freund. While I'm gone, listen to this amazing song from 1997. Also, I'm going to be in New York in 8 days. Ace.

How to know if people will be terrible parents.
-People who jaywalk with their strollers: This has to be the most egoistic thing one can possibly do. How would you feel if a car came along and hit only your stroller, and not you? You probably wouldn't care, since you're the self-centred anti-christ of parents, but still. From an objective standpoint, that scenario would be unfortunate.
-People who live on Manhattan: It can be hard teaching a child proper moral values, if you've never paid your own rent.
-People who are religious: It can be hard teaching a child proper moral values, if your whole life is dedicated to serving something that might not even exist. And if it does exist, it most likely hates us. Avidly. I guess God can be compared to the cutest girl in school. No matter how hard you try, she doesn't see you. You buy her things, you get into fights over her, you do all her work for her, and she never recognizes your efforts. But somehow, there's a tiny part of you that still thinks you'll get to sleep with her if you try hard enough. That she's just testing you. She's not. She just doesn't like you.
-People who bring their kids to restaurants: Kids do not like restaurants. It really is not that complicated. Just don't bring them places they don't want to be. They'll cause a scene. It's like throwing your dog into a bag of fleas, and then tell him to sit still.
-People who are French: You have been unpleasant for centuries. You're the kid that everyone pretends to like, because he has cool clothes and is not excited about anything.
-People who decide it's a good idea to give Barack Obama the Nobel Peace Prize: Naturally, I have to ask. Where did Barack create peace? Shouldn't a prize be awarded due to result, rather than ambition? Actually, I think we should just give all future olympic gold medals to Germany, because they entered the competition with the intention of winning. Not because they actually won.
-People who have an abortion: Well, duh. Also, it must be horrible being a sperm in that equation. I mean, imagine running a race with like 10 000 other people, and somehow, you miraculously manage to win the entire race. You're number one. Then, after having sprinted for two or three weeks straight, and you've finally reached the finish-line, the main sponsor tells you the race has been terminated.
These people should never be allowed to have their own children. And if they already do, these children should be taken away from them. Right now.

These are some pictures from a recent roll I developed. It includes roof-climbing, people cutting my hair while being drunk(meaning I had to do it again the next morning), and finally proving to people that our shower actually is in our kitchen. It's true.

The Company of People
I just noticed I have a page on The Company of People's website. I wasn't aware of the fact that they put my pictures up yet. There are lots of great photographers and artists on their website, and it's fun being included.

You can do better, Woody.
"As a young artist, Kahlo approached the Mexican painter, Diego Rivera, whose work she admired, asking him for advice about pursuing art as a career. He recognized her talent and her unique expression as truly special and uniquely Mexican. He encouraged her artistic development and began an intimate relationship with Frida. They were married in 1929, despite the disapproval of Frida's mother.
Their marriage was often tumultuous. Kahlo and Rivera had fiery temperaments and had numerous extramarital affairs. The openly bisexual Kahlo had affairs with both men and women, including Josephine Baker. Rivera knew of and tolerated her relationships with women, but her relationships with men made him jealous. For her part, Kahlo was furious when she learned that Rivera had an affair with her younger sister, Cristina. The couple eventually divorced, but remarried in 1940. Their second marriage was as turbulent as the first. Their living quarters often were separate, although sometimes adjacent. There were frequent lovers between Frida and Diego, such as Leon Trotsky and Dorothy Hale."
Disregarding the fact that Cristina was Kahlo's younger sister, it feels pretty similar.

Those updates
"X Just finished baking a lemon custard pie for desert, and now it's time to watch some TV!"
Doesn't that make you wish you were there? Doesn't that make you envious? In this very moment, that person gets to indulge in both a tasty dish that's available everywhere, and gets to sit in front of something that everyone has, at the very same time! That really tickles my envy-nerv, I'll tell you that right now. Or what about this good old classic:
"X is now feeling sick from the monstrous salmon-pasta dish that my bestest friend X came over to make, and now it's time to sleep! YUMMY!"
Not only is this person crazy enough to combine food from Norway, with food from Italy, he/she's totally going to bed afterwards! Again, I can't say how envious I am. I would never have the guts to indulge in all those crazy activities. And it might even have been on a weeknight. Oh, such madness!
Please continue with the food-updates, guys! It's not like every single person we know eats food and nobody cares.
