Journey to Stockholm: FUCKING JACKPOT!!!
13 years ago
So yeah! Its that time of year once again, the spring, and for some reason, my art class desided to go to Stockholm to view some art exhibits on in museums.
The exhibitions were really weird and bizarre, the first place had this woman who drew with her menstrual pink blood, and another had a badly made stop motion video going with a dog plushie who fell in love with a cat, weird, oh well! Its art i guess!
And then there were the most bizarre one of them all, one painting, made in oil on a 2x2 meter big canvas, had dicks as the motive, im not kidding, it was a painting, with dicks, all sizes and varietys, what the f?
not a single person who saw it couldnt help but draw a forced back smirk, pretty odd.
And it wasnt far away from the coolest painting, with a magician who made a person hover.
My fellow classmates and i just stod there adoring the painting, and then when we glanced away, we saw dicks again, wow...
Well anyway, after forcingly having to gobble up an overpriced piece of chicken with two bone pieces, and which tasted like a jellyfish, we journeyed to our next exhibition on another museum, this one was one charicatures.
Which frankly, went fast, we went through it all two times plus a couple of bathroom breaks before our teacher even had parked the van!
Then came the fun part, we went to the "old town" part of Stockholm, which is like the remnants of olden times and lies around the castle.
Anyhow, we went from store to store seeking for my head objective, finding the fabled manga store!
We searched the little boutiqes looking at rock stuff and souvenir items, mostly knives and such, but i didnt find anything of value, except an angry birds plushie, got my favorite one! :D
When we finally came around, almost to the point where we started, we desided to head back, but then i was drawn down the alley towards another street that went parralell to the one we were on, and there, i found something awesome!
It was a comic shop! A VERY rare sight here in Sweden, it was called "comic heaven", we went inside cause, hey, its the next best thing to a manga shop!
I started to scan the bookshelfes for FMA pockets, which they had but all scattered around the shop, even found some American made comcis which were mostly Marvel and DC superheroes, even found those sexy "Grimm fairy tales" books, which i kinda regret not buying, since they were pretty neat, after all.
But i was on a strained budget and couldnt buy just anything, cause i had a hunch, i would find something more valuable there soon...
And there, below some generic manga books and a yaoi hentai pocket (Very odd, and kinda disturbing...), i found that of which ive been searching for for YEARS, and longed to get my hands on!
It was a bunch of Sonic comics! REAL american "archie comics" Sonic comics!
I nearly jumped with glee!
After all these years of been trying to get a hold of a copy, i found a whole box of them!
I grabbed the one who looked most intresting, such as the backstory to the first two games, one with the metal Sonics on, and the best find of them all, one with Scourge!
This was such a very VERY rare event!
Some other day i MUST go back to that shop, and gather some more goodies!
And thats pretty much my day in Stockholm, a fun and joyous day :D
I do however regret not buying anything for my girlfriend :(
