flooded vacation

it might be a magnification but it feels like my vacation got flooded. rain and bad weather are more or less the only things i've seen so far. sure, it's relaxing but it's also getting to the point when it is boring. haven't even got the opportunity to go fishing. but who am i to complain when last-minute charters are sky rocketing in price and my plan to go to new york city crashed in bad timing? at least i am free to do whatever i want. even if it usually means alone.

there are still hopes of doing one (or maybe two) of the following alternative plans:

• road trip in sweden
• buss to europe
• finding that super cheap last-minute trip to the sun
• (open spot for suggestions)

if everything else fails, i will be even more excited about using my saved vacation week in the fall.

Miike Snow - Burial (video)

three or four posts ago i was talking about miike snow. not too long after that my good friends daniel & jonas finished the video for the song "burial". check it out. i recommend going directly to youtube and watch it in fullscreen hd if you can.

documentation of joy

first, got a message from a friend that google translate is not too good at translating this from swedish to anything understandable, so my blog will now go english more often. my old english teacher, native speakers, and random others will probably laugh their ass off, but that's on me. free of charge.

flickering through some of my photographies and get amazed over the documentation that they provide. some of them with happy people, some of them at exotic places and some of them just thoughtful expressions. moments that i would do anything to experience again. from simple picnics in the grass to camp fires making s'mores to diving with turtles. even trying that facial mask again. it saddens me that the pictures that i love the most are getting older. documentation turning into history.
