Winter has arrived

Dear Volvo, if I was to buy a truck, you'd be my first choice

I love this clip.

"Dear" BMW, you disgust me.

What is this? How many of you agreed this was a great concept?

The wife as someone you'd love to trade in for a beautiful stranger is so tired, so loveless, so hurtful.

People I love getting recognition

Alltså att Bea vann Augustpriset! Så himla roligt och bra. 

Så glad. 

People I love getting recognition

Niki: Student of the month!

Cheap thrills.

We spend much time jumping over each other. 

Especially over Niki. 

She says it's fine. 

Head under heels.

I jump over Joel too. 

Monkey sees self

Don't miss out on Damien Kempf's instagram feed.

Thomas & Vanja

15 november - så bra födelsedag.

Let me see your teeth

Oh Hoff

I like girls

I like girls. I really really really like girls. I like em small, I like em tall, I like em all. 

Hur ser jag ut när jag går själv på restaurang?

Gissa. 

Och läs sedan detta om att äta själv.

Topping my wish list

The Fujifilm X-E2. 

A great vacuum cleaner. 

A bike. 

Things kind of on the wish list that I won't get since I have to prioritize items above:

Boots, handbag, haircut. 

So if you see a real happy woman with crappy hair, in sneakers through the snow, carrying all her stuff in plastic bags taking pics of life in NYC, it's probably me. 

Tack Petra

Pics taken  on the brink of disaster

The Georgia O'Keefe museum

Any of you been here?

Vanja is almost 12.

Her school was closed (veterans day) and since one of her wishes for her B-day was to have a day with each parent, I gladly took her into the city to jump around.

For a little, little bit, it feels like you might be able to fly after all. 

Wise words

Saw this painting at the Met the other day. It's from around 1540, painted by Guillaume Budé. This man looks so serious and he is. Know what he's writing, in Greek, in his book?

This:

"While it seems to be good to get what one desires, the greatest good is not to desire what one does not need".

Now I can't stop thinking about what the 16th century man ( who looks like the missing link between Putin and Gerard Depardieu) tried not to desire. The lady next door? A new hat? More colorful clothes? The luxury of visible eye lashes and brows? A little bit of frivolity, in any form? His whole composure is that of someone who denies himself for higher reasons.

That quote seems so true and so annoying at the same time. So self-righteous and too good.

I wish he'd be wearing lots of vain items as he was writing this. As it is now, it just seems like he lived the way he learned and look where that got him. Posterity as the poster boy for nothing and nothing in moderation at that.

Then again, the issue of what one needs can be interpreted in many ways. 

I know this much is true

Life has such an annoying tendency to get in the way of things you want to do in life.

I'm just going to say it.

The Mona Lisa does nothing for me.

At the Louvre, so many other much more interesting paintings.

Om att längta efter allt det fina i Stockholm i november.

Jag och Joel en dag på jobbet i senaste mama

I butik nu!

The character I identify the most with in movies

Brad Pitt running on treadmill in Burn after reading.  And Janeane Garofalo in anything.


I do this. All the time. I don't care if I look ridiculous, nothing beats this feeling.

Sometimes I even sing along. Am afraid this is especially true whenever I run to "Only Girl in the World."

I love this pic

From Rui Tenreiro's upcoming book.

At MacDonalds

"When grownups are angry, it's because they're stressed out. 

When kids are angry it's because they're tired or hungry. "

So sweet with each other.

Watching the NYC Marathon

I bow down to all the heroes. 

The family runner, watching others run in the race he missed.

Deba. She placed second of all the woman runners. She was so fast, didn't get her feet. 

Our friend Cecilia watching the race. 

A pack of fierce awesome humans.

Dulce! So impressive. 

These 5 people each represented one of NYC's 5 boroughs (Manhattan won out of the 5).

Where have I seen legs like these recently? Oh right, at the Cloisters, where else?
