Lazytimes

I haven’t been feeling well the last two days but I still can’t seem to find the time to relax, there’s always some email to send, phonecall to make or paper to write.. My to do list is struggling against facebook and interesting news.. and none of it makes me feel any better.

“Girl, you’re sick! It’s okay to just do nothing sometimes. Watch tv! Or at least read a book or something, relax!”

Thank you Josie, I’ll let you win this time and leave the rest of my errands for tomorrow – it’s officially non-research-related reading time..

Ernest Hemingway – For Whom The Bell Tolls (1941)

Looking forward to the timetravel, I hope it’s a good one, ciao.

Dina läppar söker mina och dina ögon släpper mig inte med blicken och då orden inte räcker fram, intet längre betyder – älskar vi. Du biter mig och kysser mig och håller i mig så hårt att jag ska slippa tänka på något annat. Mina händer är vilda och jag ser på dem som vore de någon annans. Vi älskar varandra till vansinne. Täcket över våra huvuden ska skydda oss mot världen, det tror vi. Våra kyssar ska kväva den sorg vi bär på, det tror vi. Vi tror det. Medan mörkret äter våra kroppar så tror jag det. Jag trodde det. Jag trodde det uppriktigt. Med dig, med dig vet jag inte längre..

Barbara Voors – Älskade du (1990)

It’s been almost 4 years since I last quoted Barbara Voors. I found my old blog which brought me back to moments I had forgotten to love, and lovestories I had chosen to forget the essense of.

There they are, all hidden where nobody can find them, embedded in naked text and poems, cheesy little metaphors and codes that only I know how to decipher completely. I miss the nudity of my writing, the absurd level of self-disclosure that I used to entertain myself with. The part of having an audience makes it all different, much more interesting and more beautiful than just writing a personal diary, it forced me to somehow write in code. Even if it in the end was naked and open enough to be banned from my current public life..

Now I’m here, posting clean little updates, photos and music, and sometimes some heavily coded little line for myself. No nakedness, no vulnerability, no cheesy pretentiousness. It’s still me, but in a more clean version, a covered one. I miss the nakedness but it most probably wont be back for a while. The general audience has no mercy so I am keeping my metaphors and nudity to myself.

Good night

Vernissage – Poster

The posters and flyers for my exhibition are on the way to the printers and I’m insanely excited about this project! :)

Haha, look at the bottom right corner, yeees – I did a QR code for the webpage of the facebook event! Now how cool is that?! People that pass it by can just scan it with their phones and they will enter the page of the event to RSVP and read more about the exhibition. And if they don’t have a smartphone, they can just write down the shortlink pym.se/ahcl. Gosh, I might be one of the nerdiest girls in the universe.. Actually one of the best things about this was that I had to learn how to use Adobe InDesign..  it’s layout heaven!

Now I just need to do marketing and pressreleases and other things that I have never done before.. haha.. so much fun!

Goodnight!
