Thursday

There’s a boy, that stands outside my apartment building every morning handing out flyers. He’s the flyer boy. It’s too easy to spot him: he’s thin, he’s (not) young, he doesn’t smile, he mouths words but no sound comes out. He’s poor. He stays within that invisible 1 meter square. At a time like this, everyone is engrossed with frustration (you know, busy) who has time to stick out their hand and reach for that flyer?

Oh my god. He’s still there? Still, no one wants a flyer. Invaluable information. But I turn around and decide to get a flyer. Roses, HKD200. Useless.

Be cool like Fever Ray

aka Karin Dreijer Anderson
from The Knife

When I Grow Up from Fever Ray on Vimeo.

When I grow up, I want to be a forester
Run through the moss on high heels
That’s what I’ll do, throwing out boomerang
Waiting for it to come back to me

When I grow up, I want to live near the sea
Crab claws and bottles of rum
That’s what i’ll have staring at the seashell
Waiting for it to embrace me

I put my soul in what I do
Last night I drew a funny man
with dark eyes and a hanging tongue
It goes way bad, I never liked a sad look
From someone who wants to be loved by you

I’m very good with plants
When my friends are away
they let me keep the soil moist
On the seventh day I rest
for a minute or two
then back on my feet and cry for you oooh oh

You’ve got cucumbers on your eyes
Too much time spent on nothing
waiting for a moment to arise
The face in the ceiling and arms too long
I wait for him to catch me

Waiting for you to embrace me

Armory

I usually don't like bracelets or cuffs (since I always at the computer and the clinging sound as I'm typing annoys the hell out of me) but this thing caught my eye... from the Alexander Wang Fall 09 show.
