Journal no. 3

having a quiet new year's eve reading up on attractions in Stockholm. : *

there's this museum for kids (aged 2 to 102) called Tom Tit's Experiment. what a name!
 i was intrigued but wasn't sure whether we should visit it.
but after looking at this blog entry about it, i'm sold.
it breaks the conventional idea of what a museum is by giving visitors an unstructured and playful experience. cool!

some other useful blogs i found:-

also watching Hairspray, the dance-filled campy 1988 film. one of its main story lines about racial integration!

which reminds me of the powerful book Cry, The Beloved Country by Alan Paton.
i finished it yesterday and cried like a baby.
it's really moving story about forgiveness and redemption, set in 1940s South Africa.
and it's been such a long long time since i finished reading a book that i haven't read before. /accomplished

oh, and i scored a free quiche at the supermarket because the scanner didn't pick up the item and the guy at the register forgot to key it in for some reason.
