he takes all manner of pills / and piles up analyst bills / in the country / oh, its like an animal farm / thats the rural charm / in the country

This is the result of four days away from the big city. Don't know what to do with it though.

but they took our ideas to their marketing stars / & now I'm spending all my days at girlpower.com / trying to buy back a little piece of me

I made a bookmark for my favourite librarian.

It went very well with the book I'm reading right now, The Popular Music Studies Reader. I mean, who could resist academic texts on topics like: Understanding hipness: 'subcultural capital' as feminist tool; Rules of rebellion: slamdancing, moshing and the american alternative scene; Voices from the margins: rap music and contemporary cultural production or Smells like teen spirit: riot grrrls, revolution and women in independent rock? It's really heaven for a sucker for subcultural nerdyness with a twist of academics like me. & I get to write about it & get credit for it! Makes me wanna start off every day with a song. Or some d-beat.

Anyhow, here's some close ups & since I'm off to the island for Easter vacation tomorrow (crafting! thrift stores! food! candy!) I'll leave you with a feminist anthem for the 21 century.

pretty shitty city (it's a town full of losers and I'm pulling out of here to win)

There won't be any updates here for at least two weeks now, since I'm off to Gothenburg tomorrow & then to Munkedal & Punk Illegal - a punk festival hosted by the network No One Is Illegal.

Then I'm staying in Gothenburg for a week to see Discarga (my favourite Brazilian band!) & Bruce Springsteen (the Boss!). But I won't be lazy with the crafting while I'm on vacation, just started drawing up the design for a birthday gift to my friend Siska - she asked for something "man hating" & well, I'm thinking Valerie Solanas...
