And Banksys documentary "exit through the gift shop" is a brilliant example of art becoming superficial, and a superficiality consuming society. Or, of Baudrillards hyperreality.

DREAD LOCKS HERE I COME!!

YES! Finally I can get dreads! I always wanted to have dread locks, but it always seemed as too much of a process. So, OH BOY WAS I HAPPY when I walked down Koh San Road in Bangkok, Thailand with all the other backpackers one hot sunny day, and I saw that you can get FAKE DREADS!!!

DREAD LOCKS, HERE I COME!

"band t-shirt"

Back home in Stockholm I work at Beyond Retro, a vintage store.  

Costumer (young lady presumably born in the 90's): Hello, do you have any band t-shirts?

Me: Yes, what band are you looking for?

Costumer: Oh, it doesn't matter, I would just like to have a "band t-shirt".

I always had a thing for french philosopher Jean Baudrillard

I always had a thing for French Post Modern Philosopher Jean Baudrillard and his theories about the world (the consumer society) as a hyperreality, consisting of "simulacra":

"It is no longer a question of imitation, nor duplication, nor even parody. It is a question of substituting the signs of the real, for the real"

Baudrillards dismal and dystopic version of the consumer society is what comes to my mind in Seoul where consumerism seem to have its heydays. Sadly enough, because, with Baudrillard words:

"Melancholia is the inherent quality of the mode of the disappearance of meaning"

Seoul is not boring I just found it a bit superficial there for a while. And Black Metal.

Seoul is not boring. I just found it a bit superficial there for a while as I spent the afternoon glimpsing at people walkin the streets of Hongdae. But a little dinner with Verv at the magnificent Uzbekistan Restaurant in Dongdaemun did the trick. And some nice black metal that he provided me with served the purpose as well; I guess you ( I ) kind of need the black metal expression in places like Seoul. I absolutely felt no need for black metal in Cambodia.

"Luckiest Guy"

Yes. I'M A BLOG BUT THATS OK,  has undergone some changes. Mostly due to me being little bit shocked and confused coming back to the organised and little bit boring place Seoul is. As you might notice, I found it rather cool to play around with the funny new typefaces they now offer you, the blogger, at Blogspot. For the headlines I have used the typeface "Luckiest Guy".

they too tricky these little boxes with all weird letters and sometimes numbers too, what the hell they called I don't know. but they too tricky.

Fuck. I agree with SJ. 'Oh no, it's too difficult!', he exclaimed when he saw this little box with weird letters that you have to type in correct so that the computer can be sure that he is dealing with a real person here. Yeah, why they have to be so freakin' tricky! Sometimes I have to try like three, four times before I get them right.
