So, Swedes, what've you up to lately?

"I've been trying to kill this existential dread by marrying horses and playing chess with death. What? You didn't think you'd get through a post about Sweden without an Ingmar Bergman film reference did you?"


"I'm working as a life coach but as you can tell by the gun pointed to my head, it's not going too well."

"Mmmpphh..."

"We've taken to reenacting ABBA videos and scenes from The Matrix during the long dark months of winter."

"I'm the happiest woman in all of Sweden. I just got my immigration papers and I'm headed to the tropical paradise we know as Norway. I hope to meet a lonely disaffected loner with lots of rage who might go postal at any time. You know, to balance me and my happiness."

To borrow from the succeeding headline: Good Gawd, Y'All! That's pretty creepy stuff.

Have you seen Guy Maddin's "The Saddest Music In The World"? You may appreciate it...
