This is Joppe. I met him when I took a walk with my boyfriend.
Joppe is a very smart and friendly cat. His family were on their way home bicycling. Then he ran like a cheetah and followed them like a dog when they called “Joppe!”.
When I visited my family in Japan, I heard that Chatora died after I moved to Sweden. Chatora was a small kitten when I saw him for the first time at my grandmother’s garden. I remember that he didn’t pee but played with sand in the litter box.
He was always with another cat. I think that was his mother. I understood that she was sick because she was skinny and her fur didn’t look good. But I couldn’t help her because she was very scared of people and didn’t let me touch her. On the contrary, Chatora was friendly to people so he became my grandmother’s cat. His life was short but I hope he had a good life.
I have watched a Swedish vampire film “Låt den rätte komma in/Let the Right One In” yesterday.
I like this love story. Oscar and Eli are so cute! Of course there were some violent scenes but that was too crazy and almost funny :)
I live in Vällingby right now and the location where a young man is killed in the film was in Vällingby. The main filming location Blackeberg is close from here. My boyfriend and I talked that there might be a vampire around our apartment.
I don’t know much about Swedish music scene yet. But recently I found two interesting Swedish artists so I will write about them.
Sheriff
I can’t find any information about them. They are from Stockholm anyway. The album Sail, sail, sail away! (Kning Disk) has slow and a little mysterious music. Their music reminds me of Buddhist sutra. Maybe because of the bell they use. You can listen to their music for free on Gogoyoko or Spotify.
Lars Blek
Minimalistic melancholic guitar music. He also makes minimal techno music as The Field. That is great as well!
I always cry in the end of the story. When the illusionist releases the rabbit… because it means he gave up to keep being an illusionist. Or maybe he wanted to give up earlier but he didn’t do that for the girl who believes in magic. This story is very beautiful.
I’m organizing and decorating my apartment very much recently. Today I bought a lovely fruit basket which looks like a yellow flower. I usually don’t choose colorful things. I like earth colors like brown, white, beige, gray, khaki, sand etc. But I fell in love with colorful things today. Not only this basket. I bought pink bathroom mats too. I think I missed colors in the small cold white apartment.
Den danska fotografen Tina Enghoff har ett djupt engagemang i sociala och politiska frågor. I utställningen skildrar hon kvinnor vars drömmar om en ny framtid krossats i skuggan av en allt hårdare dansk invandringspolitik.
