Linn just turned 24, a big number for Chinese as it’s 12×2. (her birth year is the year of the Pig, and every 12th year it’s pig’s year). We went to a “fight club” and we filmed the event with my gift to her, a camera (FujiFilm F30).
Music: (updated slightly with another song in the end).
First song is from the French movie Amelie of Montmartre
Second song is from a Marantz stereo test CD.
Third song is Hush with Kula Shaker
Man, that’s young! Happy Birthday Linn!!! I am becoming 2 x Linn’s age next year so I must be a rat? Lots of fun in that Takeshis Castle like clip, cool family btw.

Hi Carl, and Linn,
That’s a great film - I watched it several times, to get nuances about your family & friends.
The music is wonderful, especially the first. It has just the right feel.
Linn, I am also a Pig - you can guess which year since you know I am ancient. Sometimes it is called Boar in English, since that sounds more respectful. But I think if we have met a pig really, we are respectful anyway. I have to tell you a story sometime, from Korea…
I’m very impressed also with the video from your birthday present. That is a special camera we already know, so I’m sure that’s why Carl got it for you. Better pictures than any.
Well, still smiling from the cinema yesterday. I think your parents are very charming, Carl, and both very nice about playing with everyone. Definitely right about the über-bruder ;). Carl looks like he practiced with the stomach-moves of that Sumo-suit. Linn very intense to do everything, and with nice attitude - can play on my team any time ;).
Well, it was fun. And nice thoughts again to the birthday-woman, who has many ways in her special.
Best,
Clive
Linn is at work and I’ll let her answer. :D
oh, yeah - the F30 was an easy buy! It’s a great little camera with very nice IQ! And It’s easy for her now to help me out with small videos.. :D She’s a bit small too, SD14 is a bit big. DP1 will be perfect.. :) (must be!!!)
No way Carl! :)
yes, in these movies you can see she is really tiny.
Only not of spirit ;).

Ha ha! Och jag som skrev ett inlägg samma dag om mitt kinesiska tecken - jag är drake! :)

Grattis till Linn! 24 år ung!
Samma dag, det är fränt, speciellt med tanke på att inget denna dag hade någon egentlig betydelse. eller?
Och jag är Orm.. låter inte alls så coolt som Drake. :´( Jag ska läsa din artikel, tittade på den lite förut. Ska läsa hela denna gången, inte bara hur den slutade. :D
