GOOD FOOD

Today the food on my table was from GUDAGOTT. 

This store at Mariaplan has delicious food and sweet personnel.

Vilt salami from Jämtland - an aha-experience 

Kalvdans (calf dance)- cultural dessert from Västergötland

Calf dance is made from raw cow milk, only 5% fat and is flavoured with sugar, spices etc.

The raw milk is the first, dark yellow milk that the cow gives after kalvning (giving birth to her calves). This milk contains extra of everything, more fat, more vitamins, more iron and a lot of antibodies. The yellow color is due to increased amounts of caroten and vitamin A. The antibodies  - up to 60 gram per litre raw milk - help the calf to get it's immune system going, including f.ex lactoferrin which has antibacterial features. The amount of protein makes the raw milk 'coagulating' when heated, just like eggs. This is the secret behind the consistency of kalvdans, and also the reason why raw milk is not sent to the dairies. Unfortunately this dessert is facing extinction. 

Kalvdans can only be distributed by local stores.

It is best served warm and perhaps with some jam and tastes something like pannacotta or creme brulée.

GOOD PEOPLE

I just want to mention first that I try from now on to add some link to a song which I think is suitable for the post I make. In case it is not evident why there is some text of whomever/whatever next to pictures. So they are links to songs from Spotify.  

With this post I want to give a rose to the person who handed in my forgotten purse to the driver of tram 8. Tusen tack!

picture of rose is from www.foundshit.com

 the above picture is from our country house in Skåne

 and at this exact place I left my purse on tram 8 (with EVERYTHING in it: keys, all creditcards, usb memories with data!!)

 ELDKVARN '3:ans spårvagn' 

(I couldn't find song called spårvagn 8 =)

KAT ART

I found a website on the internet, where one can do paintings with brushes. I did this absolutely stunning herpes painting. It is herpes with the glycoproteins I work with and the membrane (lipid bilayer) of a cell (looks like rail way). Refinement of my technique is needed...? Though this painting took only 1min to make and w know that time is money.

ART

I want more art in my life. This one is Carina Nordborg. Have no idea about paintings or art really, just found it. I don't particularly dislike or like it. I am sort of a bit over neutral to it.

ANGEL MUSIC

Listen to the most wonderful opera singer,

Romanian of course, Angela Gheorghiu.

RIDICULE

One of the favorite (Romanian) authors during my upbringing was Eugene Ionescu.
He was one of the authors of the Theatre d'Absurd (Theatre of the absurd).

The Theatre of Absurd constitutes plays written by playwrights from the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. The style of theatre was evolved from their work. Their philosophy was that in a godless universe, human existence has no meaning or purpose and therefore all communication breaks down.
Logical construction and argument gives way to irrational and illogical speech and to its ultimate conclusion, silence.

Theme is absurdity.

I hear...

A man's reaction to a world apparently without meaning or man as a puppet controlled or menaced by an invisible outside force.

Someone is keeping me prisoner as we speak...

Seriously, life is comic, mixed with tragical events, hopeless situations, repetitive actions (were they all PhD students actually?), dialogues full of cliches, wordplay and pure NONSENSE. Plots were cyclical or absurdly expansive (Wagner?), either a parody or dismissal of realism and the concept of 'well-made play'.

Ah, I found my way home!

Other playwrights associated with the Theatre of the Absurd are: Samuel Beckett, Arthur Adamov,  Jean Genet, Harold Pinter, Tom Stoppard, Friedrich Durrenmatt, Fernando Arrabal and Edward Albee.

These authors obviously gave voice to Albert Camus' philosophy that life is inherently without meaning.

Mode is set to tragicomedy.

'NOTHING IS FUNNIER THAN UNHAPPINESS... IT'S THE MOST COMICAL THING IN THE WORLD!'  (Ahahahaha, it so is!!)

So, Pataphysics is the science of imaginatory solutions. I wonder if Nature will accept this?

Jean-Paul Sartre was the philosophical spokesman for Existentialism in Paris (expressed in being and Nothingness?).

Ionescu hated Sartre bitterly.

He accused Sartre of supporting Communism but ignoring the atrocities committed by Communists, so Ionesco wrote Rhinoceros as a criticism of blind conformity; at the end of the play, one man remains on Earth resisting transformation into a rhinoceros.

Ionescu wrote The Bald Soprano (La Cantatrice Chauve), The Lesson (La Lecon) and The Chairs (Les Chaises) and Macbett (1972-they year I was born) among others.

The Chairs was on SVT many years ago, but I would like to see it again sometime, preferably in the theatre. How absurd is it that this would probably not happen?

Unless I put up the production myself?

GOD NATT

Göteborg. I am still here.

I jumped up quickly and threw myself at the door. I got so scared of the darkness. I really want to go to a blind cafe. Just to experience what it is like to be in their world.

IT'S EASY

To blog.

Aaooow!! It hurts!
G. D. did you have to infect my spine too HSV-2?


Really. It hurts.

You don't believe me? Take a look.
I told you.

POURQUOI

this life is for herpes, not for me

you managed big time, more than I could ever have imagine

but today I thank the Lord for reminding me what it means to be healthy

and for putting food on my table

Really. I do.

AND THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE WHEN U DANCE LIKE ONLY YOU THINK YOU CAN

On my way

Despite my good dancing shoes I almost broke my back, so now I have to rest for like 3 weeks.  I jumped too high, thought I was Niklas for a second...
