i know one shouldn’t blame outer circumstances for some things, especially training, but i can’t help but think some of my disinterest in sports during school was because of the gymnastics halls. always dull, dark, standardised and plain awful. now that i am a little older i actually enjoy sports, as soon as the necessitation of the weekly school gym hour disappeared, so did my scorn for working out. i’m not saying it has to be as luxurious and wonderful as the la tourelle sarcelles school gym in france, but perhaps a little more bright and modern?

what if, for example, architecture and design students got to redesign some of the school gyms? not entirely rebuild them as it would probably be too costly but just some renovation + a little innovation.
that would make me more engaged. if i was 15 again i mean. (luckily i am not.)

the first photo is by rivane neuenschwander.

mondays are kind of lousy. so i guess one simply has to look to the details or something. i never do this of course, i just hurry through the day and cram in as much as possible. but if i would pay a bit extra attention, i would use shamelessly soft bed linens and wear dresses with back details that only i knew of. i imagine it would feel better.

sleeping for 14 hours, looking through weird recipes (coconut shrimp, never thought i would say it but it looks kind of yummy) and working with no deadline (well yet). a great sunday. and i have loads of lovely photos in my folders, this is going to be a great week i think!

museums and their cafes, such a wonderful combination. and librarys. there is nothing lika a magical-feeling, crusty old library. the city library in stockholm by architect gunnar asplund is actually pretty nice. i used to spend lot’s of time there when i was 15 or 16, pretending to be studying at one of the dimly lit tables but secretly just liking the feeling of all the notes being scribbled and books being searched for. i was a little pretentious i suppose. but i think that is allowed at librarys and at 15, don’t you?

a sort of awesome wednesday would consist of some lunch window-shopping, passing by rows of flowers, pick up some weird-looking plant on the way home and then finishing the day off with a visit to the ice cream bar above. and then beer. beer is always welcome.

giant golden cubes you can play with that fits perfectly inside a pocket. so dreamy and playful.. totally want one.

the first photo could just be a lovely still life but is in fact a product photo for that little hashioki (meaning chopstick) bud vase. i love stuff like this, small things with such a sweet purpose, so poetic in some way. i would be thrilled to get my chopsticks rested on a little vase. also it’s obviously a brilliant product photo, go iko iko space-shop!

the middle photo is perhaps the perfect location for filmmaking? so inspiring, i want so badly to go there on this dull monday! and then the last photo is some kind of introvert way of coming to terms with my own fascination for lemons and eggs, preferrably together. i don’t understand it at all, the closest explanation for my obsession is that bright yellow and creamy white go together so unbelievably well.

anyways, if you have any weird visual obsessions, please share, i feel kind of weird now, haha:)
