Not your life – but what it could smell like
Not life.
Just a short one today. Something Johnny found and I thought was worth translating. Some copy for a place called PAPERCUT.
You are born. You learn to walk. You start school. You fall in love. You get dumped. You get up again. You fall in love again. You get dumped again. You go on. You steal a chocolate cookie. You get caught. You are ashamed. You get tired about being ashamed. You run away. You become an exchange student. You get in trouble. You get sent home again.
You fall in love. Read the rest of this entry »
Love, waffles, horses and the power of cups
Affirmation
Der hat doch nicht alle Tassen im Schrank. He’s missing some cups in his cupboard!
Han har inte alla hästar hemma. His horses aren’t at home.
Der hat doch ne Schraube locker! He’s got a screw loose – at least this one matches, even in Swedish.
You recognize them when you see one but these expressions always just miss the familiar wording. Why? Bad hearing in the Middle Ages? Read the rest of this entry »
Hipstery, Gitte Haenning and I
Dr. Willem von Tinkel
Assuming everyone is tired of wrapping presents, I thought I’d share something new I recently discovered. The world- or let’s say Europe – is getting more service minded (I pray), and Hipstery does their share by enhancing the gift buying experience.
You tell the guys: “I need a present for my sister Julia”, whereupon they hand you Read the rest of this entry »
The world outside my window
2010 is coming to an end and it feels good. 1/2 meter snow, frozen sea, cleaned out paperwork, eliminated signs of sleep deprivation and champagne bottles are ready to go.
People from the mainland are carrying heavy bags and boxes across the island, firecrackers and toothbrushes. This place is never as popular Read the rest of this entry »
Paris Saint-Paul – Corporate Shouting
An American in Paris
Starbucks is probably one of the best examples for global branding and successful franchising. You know what you get, no matter where in the world you are.
Lately, what you get is mediocre coffee made by stressed 24 year olds in green aprons (if you sense disappointment, you are sensing right.) Read the rest of this entry »
Really good noodles, the matrix and a rainbow.
The Matrix
Neo: “I used to eat there. Really good noodles. I have these memories from my life. None of them happened. What does that mean?”
Trinity: “That the Matrix cannot tell you who you are.”
Sometimes Swedes are afraid. They are afraid to stand out from the masses. To stick out their head, to swim against the current.
Partly it’s not very much appreciated by those masses and partly its something you just don’t do.
People will look at you strangely, wonder where you come from and unconsciously conclude that there might be much more suspicious under your Filippa K coat. Read the rest of this entry »
Passion and Pain – understanding the drama of settlement
Confetti
Marply is very good at collecting good people.
That said, a bunch of them showed up at Saturnus today, for a) birthday kisses , b) Pavlova cake, c) discussing problem solving strategies in the different homelands.
Countries involved: Poland, Germany, Sweden, Italy. Read the rest of this entry »
Angenämt utlastad – Om mörka moln, ordbrist och Lena Sundströms röda cykel
Outlastad [u-ütlastad
Jag märker det redan när jag vaknar till en solig morgon på min lilla ö. Trots det äntligen blivit riktigt augustiväder, känns hela jag som neddragna ögonbryn.
Jag gör en fantastisk god kaffe med lilla mockabryggaren men njuter varken av lukten eller smaken, eftersom det är ju verkligen inget speciellt med kaffe. Read the rest of this entry »
