Grapefruit: Yoko Ono is in da ‘Holm

-Yoko Ono just walked by my office window.

That was a friend’s Facebook status update just a few minutes ago. She’s somewhere downtown Stockholm.

A quick googling shows that Yoko has an exhibit at the Modern Museum of Stockholm (Moderna Museet) running June 5-Sept 9 2012. The Grapefruit Exhibition has its starting point in her work by the same name published 1964.
yoko ono stockholm grapefruit

Welcome Yoko Ono. Glad Stockholm is bathed in sunshine for your walk about today.

    @Harry (or whichever name you’re going by this time)…I wish. But in clearer English, your reading skills suck.

    Well, I can see little Harry being mean and small today.

    Nice ryhme Team Kall, are you 8 years old or just living as a child in an adult’s body?

    And as for being “mean” (a word used by Swedes that lack a choice of other words or understanding it’s true definition), it is fair game to have a pop at Blatte, She can pretend that I am someone who has used different guises, but the reality is an obvious denial that many other posters find her overbearing and dull.

    @Harry, Thank you for your attentiveness along with your devoted reading and commenting on my blog. I look forward to your continued active interest in what I have to say and the comments that others direct at yours. You clearly enjoy checking in. It shows.

    Though, I do hope you work on improving your reading comprehension skills, otherwise, you’ll continue to miss the core message.

    Harry:

    Why read the blog if you don’t like it? Lots of others to choose from.

    And the magic mirror reference was for Blatte anyway. A little remembrance from our childhood in the great Commonwealth.

    The core message from you Blatte is as tedious as your existence.

    @Harry. I love it that you feel compelled to return frequently during the day. When Harry met Blatte! You’re a fan.

    Crikey, Harold!

    Raising existential issues is rather stalkeresque, is it not so?

    Take it down a notch.
