Still here
19.06.08Filed Under: weekly or something
It´s been such a wild ride for the past week. Events out of the ordinary, both here, irl and in the blog world it seems. For me it all started last friday while I was a dermathologist talking pictures of a new laser treatment machine and the phone rang. I ended up seeing Dolly Parton perform that night. Being a music whore I really appreciated her as a musician even though perhaps she´s not really some one I listen to. It was a good show at Stadion which is an open air stadium. Work has been crazy in a good way but not leaving much time for blogging or commenting (sorry about that).
On sunday I went to Helsinki with a very good friend. We had a great time. The kissing ducklings were captured there. Helsinki is such a beautiful city. The architecture, the light and the overall ambience there is just great. Finish people are a bit more relaxed than Swedes. You see old ladies going to Stokkmans wearing hats, gloves and matching hand bags. Gentlemen strolling around being seemingly proud over their age. We (Swedes) look more neurotic when you look at us. We go to the gym, the plastic surgeon and when nothing can be done to trick youth we loose all need for style. We get sloppy. Ok, I´m totally exaggerating here but you get the picture. Finland is 30 years behind us while being totally tech savy at the same time. That creates a very interesting environment.
Tomorrow is summer solstice, and happy solstice to you who celebrates it.

I had no idea that Dolly would be popular enough outside of the US to support a tour. That’s very cool. I don’t much care for her music, but the story of her life is fascinating, and she seems a wonderful person when I’ve seen her interviewed.
