Quicksters...

* 'Little Dragon'. Saturday they are in town to preform @Le Poisson Rouge. (I hope my cold is better so I can for the first time ever see them live)...

...there are two exhibits going on in the city that I'm dying to see. Number one is the 'Tim Burton on @Moma' (mentioned it in previous posts)...
... and 'The Sesame Street 40years celebration' @ Brooklyn Public Library.Ok cold!?....want to set me free so I can indulge NY?

Sitting here typing...

my last words for tonight before my delicious encounter with my bed. The clock is showing Tuesday 12:04. Went for some electro-acupuncture yesterday in ChinaTown, in the evening I went down to GiantStep's Hudson-thing to hear some DJ Spinna spins. Today I've been not doing anything particular except thinking, eating a vegan burger, fries n' coffeeshake from 'Blossom' that's around the corner.Still haven't gotten around to sort out the batteries to the camera...can you believe it!? ridicolous. Oh yeah after the Spinna-thing last night I had a classic Tobelerone-meltdown. Mmmmm how can it be so...designed to melt in you mouth that way...gorgeous. Need to get back on track tomorrow...if you have a chance check out the meteorit shower that is happening right now. I'm pretty sure it's amazing. We were supposed to go up northern Manhattan to some park to lock at it :).Pictures tomorrow. PROMISE .

An end...

Domu

70F = 21C...

Today I've brunched with the 'I love Vinyl' -Dj's. And guess what my smart-rump did forget... I forgot to take pictures of them and the brunch.(oooh no) They are still here but the batteries are dead.

Yesterday I jumped on a free water taxi and headed for (yepp you guess it) IKEA. Needed a new pillow and some other things. Man IKEA is SKANKY over here...it was filthy, everything in a little crocked mess, at the cashier a woman accidentally dropped a bunch of plates... some f-ing idiots decided to applaud the situation! (So freaking high school), the restaurant-food was ...hm..so so...think I'm just going to go back there for some Christmas things and leave it at that. After spending the whole Friday night there and indulging a tempeh-burger and nice tea-drink at home I fell asleep and woke up to gorgeousness. It's a super day here today, after 3 days of classic Scandinavian autumn weather. (rain, storm etc) NY decided to give us sun and warmth. After my brunch with the Dj's I went shopping and strolling (just a little)...nice to feel how my cardigan almost is were to warm. Now I'm going to check out the latest episode of 'Project Runway' and sip some wine. Yummy. Happy Sunday Fam :)

(Smoodyful ain't it.)

My Status update...

The hip is better, the cold is subsiding, longing to see the Tim Burton exhibit that's starting next week @MoMa, chilled out in bed last night making a drum-pattern, think I should read more... btw did I tell you about the book I'm reading at the moment...I guess not, it's in Swedish , written by a Swedish artist ('Jakten mot Nollpunkten' av DeGeer), outside is grey today, not to cold...but grey, I'm in my black vintage negligee from the 70s and a beautiful white kimono (gift from my mother)...

...Afghan socks on my feet (my new favorit 'thick' sock), my hair...well it's out and big...all over the place, have painted nails ...graphite that's turning marina, cancelled my appointment at the Chiropractor/Acupuncturist in ChinaTown (to much coughing going on with me this morning), just sent Twilite Tone some voxs, checked some gossip out online, ate a Edamame/walnut salad...drank some green tea with that. Reflecting about friends, talked with OP over the phone, read half of the new TimeOut, going to go and buy some salmon for dinner... don't know what I'm doing with it yet, except that it's going in the oven somehow, bought my Russian dolls a new podium each...the eldest face still look a little pissed about it...

...thinking about buying a pink SonyVaio, thinking about throwing my American cell out the window so that it can crash and burn on Broadway (because it's not accepting international text messages) and I'm fascinated by WiFi- rabbits are so intelligent nowadays....think I'm going to see a Fred Astaire movie today...This it where I'm at....where are u?

Felas!...

I enter. I'm met by one of the most colourful stages, 'Antibalas' is on it playing...2 men in clothes from the 70ies are strutting around, chilling...checking things out...

Last night I saw the musical 'Fela!'. At first I was afraid, because I didn't know what to expect. But as it proceeded with smiles, humour, involving the audience, dancers where ever you head turned (btw ridicolously talented ones)...a comfort appeard in me. The musical is about Fela Kuti's life...to all of you that can be musical sceptics as me...hm...sceptic might not be the right word, but I need to be in the right mood that is for sure...my musical mood. (got my overdose from 'The Sound of Music', Mary Poppins, Cats, Jesus Christ Superstar etc etc when I grew up), anyhow, to all of you that have a tendancy to feel like me; See it...all of you that don't..that hates or love musicals; see it. All of you that dig Fela: see it...to all of you that don't know who he was and to all of you that don't 'bag' him (as we say in Sweden = feeling him); see it. You won't be wasting your time on this one.

ps
Still totally aaaaawwwwwwed by the movie :)

'Mary and Max'...

I just experienced one of the most amazing movies this year; 'Mary & Max'. A big recommendation on that one. This clay animation is about an Australian 8 year old girl (Mary) that starts to pen pal with a random man in NY (Max)...

...love the storytelling...so good it makes me a jealous...I wish I had written it. A lot of cool details...all from how Max writes that he keeps his yarmulke on, even though he's an atheist, because it keeps his brains warm... to this scene describing Mary's grandpa...



...this movie is worth your time.

You know who?...

Ayah - In my lifetime...

Koushik - One in a day...

Believe it or not, listening to music goes in phases for me. I recently been having my head very deep in to 2 new projects and about a couple of weeks ago my ears just yelled'n'screamed: AAAAAAAAAAAA nooooo mmooooooooore!!!! So this resulted in that I been only checking out the tracks I've posted on here, tweeted about and some retro-jazz when cooking. (this is dramatically less music-listening!). Been trying to tune into my environment instead when walking, running, talking, cell-phoning...waking up... The world has a lot good to say. This morning my head and ears felt like: ...hm..maybe we can start again and this 'Koushik'-track felt like a marvellous way to begin...

Kissey is: In NY, drinking her Taiwanese Oolong and going for a looong exercise soon.

Hung-over...

Ticker-Tape-Yankee...

Parade. City Hall was full of so much people...me and Scribe had to stand at the jumbatron a couple of blocks away with thousands and thousands of Yankees-fans. (not that I minded that )Talk about hanging out with a bunch of happy people a sunny but chilly Friday midday.:) A little bummed out that I didn't get to see the actual parade... feel the Ticker-tape-rain...but Scribe told me that he heard on the radio that the fans that were standing parade-upfront had been there since 3 am....I was asleep 3 am...

Kissey is: Going to Bridge it

Manhattan-walk...

Yesterday I decided to walk from almost the top of Central Park to and over the Brooklyn Bridge. On my way there I spontaneously decided to see the exhibition 'Slash' at MAD. The whole exhibition is made with paper. With that said the above piece made by 'Andreas Kocks' is...yepp you are right! With paper...

...My walk continued. Bought a fake pair of Ray Bans that I pooped the licensees out, a huge turquoise ring (you will eventually see pictures of both)...

...The most marvellous enconture happened during this walk. I was crossing the street at NYU and on the opposite side comes no one less than my friend 'Shantell Martin'. Jet-lagged, confused and chocked as I was I couldn't really get a sensible word out, but it was sooooo nice to see here. And the bridge? Well...I mange to walk pass the ramp...by then I walked for 5 hours and actually felt to tired to walk it. So I'll do that some other day. Guess the experience was more the walk than the actually getting there...


...these roses are part of my project 'Everyday'. Going to boost my creativity by trying to do a small mini project everyday. Conclusion: My sisters arranging are sooooooo much more gorgeous, she got the 'fingers', but I had so much fun and felt so free doing something that I knew that I'm not good at.

Pin-up Marge...

Have you seen the pics from November Playboy? Marge Simpson (Matt Groening) has decided to grace them with her animation...

(pistures taken from 'The Insider')

Well, well, well...

After forgetting my credit card, putting it and my half-awake sister in a cab - destination 'Stockholm airport'. I crossed the Atlantic Ocean :) Good morning sunny-and-much-warmer-than Sweden New York.

I missed out on the marathon that went down here yesterday...BUT the streets was crowded with supporters, runners, curious Georges and other Homo Sapiens long after it was over. Went for an early dinner at 'Mana'.

Re-winding tonight...

and reliving funny things from back in the days.Used to watch those pit-potatoes over and over again...

One of the greatest things that happened when I was younger was when my parents got a new VCR. Me and my siblings found the amazing world of watching 'Huxley the Pig' in slow motion ...clay animation is soooo much funnier in slow motion...

Before Breakfast at Tiffany's...

...I love to have sleep in that sleepingmask + earplugs. Never realised that earplugs actually can be fashionable. I'm totally onboard.

Love is on the Cardboard...

My sister told me about this blog yesterday (her best friend told her about it). It's really...well see it with your own eyes. The story she told me was that it is a couple that have the... *tada*... classic distance relationship. So He set up this site and started to write love messages to Her...so that she could go online and see them even thou he was far away. Eventually she started to post back to him and today you can follow them both. Felt so warm reading this...

...Go to CardboardLove's main site (with the posting of the day) or go here to see the archives in scroll.

Piano-stairs...

Hi darlings,

Just came in, been for a walk, been for a talk, Sunday today....Mmmphmm (said in a carribean way) The snowy weather is gone again and now we are back in the gear autumn. Thanks for asking - Benjamin (the tree) is doing very good indeed. Moved him to a new spot, next step is to replant him in a beautiful big pot...kind of killed my orchid...left her standing in water for 2 days... :S ...not to good....not good at all. Been surfing the blogs since I got back in, checking out what's up in the www-world. Found this video on 'Get shit Done'. Wish I had known about this piano-stairs when it went down in Stockholm. Fun way to spice up your everyday.

Cool vs Vodoo-ladies workout...

Hi cuties hope you all are super good out there. Been singing, mixing and exercising this morning. Felt as if i was a kite...kind of wish that i was. Sooooooo windy. Only way is up...or to the side. Well the wind decides that. Finally finished 'The Oscar Wao' book...took me 10 months but i did it. WOHO! now I'm almost allowed to get a new one. Only got half 'the Gum Thief' + half the Christer Fulgesang diary(Swedish astronaut) left. Want to read that bio of (or book about)Lemi + the Mutley Crue one.

Now I'm going to have some lunch and have a 'Hansson & Karlsson' hour;
