stockholm: weekend outdoor market in södermalm
I happened upon a lovely outdoor market near the Medborgarplatsen area of Södermalm on Saturday. Södermalm is sort of Stockholm’s answer to the Village in Manhattan, or Haight-Ashbury before it became a completely gentrified parody of itself. In Söder—as it’s … Continue reading

Úlfr GrÃmsson lumbers into the dark, noisy tavern. He is famished from a long day of seafaring and battle, and thirsty for a good jug of mead. Úlfr wearily lugs his Viking gear and sack into the tavern’s back room, … Continue reading

your humble servant, a criminal!
The other day, I was unceremoniously awakened—from a restful, sound sleep, I might add—by an irritating siren. Weeee-oooo, weee-oooo! *Bam, bam, bam* “Wha? Who is it?” “Ma’am, are you the author of anopencupboard dot com?” “Ye-es…why?” “You’re under arrest for … Continue reading

Where does the sun set at around 10 pm or thereabouts? Why Stockholm in the summer, of course! I’ve just arrived and am already jacked in—blame it on jet lag. I’ve only seen a tiny, remote region of the city … Continue reading
