Hello, dear phlog! Today has been a busy day. I was scheduled for a work-related trip to Stockholm today, and I had to get up around 0600 to make it to the train. The train-ride itself was pretty comfortable, even though we hadn't booked any seats. There is usually an "unreserved" car that you can occupy so that you don't have to move if another passenger comes and you're in their seat. I used my laptop to play some Doom and surf the internet while riding the roughly two hours from my hometown to Stockholm. I had two colleagues with me, and it was pretty nice. The train-car wasn't that occupied, even though there usually are a lot of commuters by this time. We arrived in Stockholm and took a cab to the office where we met our other colleagues and had a look at the new fancy office. For lunch, we went out and got burgers a nice place called "bun meat bun". A nice pun, wouldn't you say? They had cheesefries that were to die for! After lunch, we loitered around town for a bit. We visited a few record stores and bought some cheap vinyl-records. Then we returned to the office for a short while of productivity before it was time to go back to the station and take the train home again. Even if I usually hate these kind of social trips, this was kind of nice. It's nice seeing the colleagues that we talk to each day over slack face to face, and it's nice to get a change of environment from our usual office. Not that Stockholm is that much of a difference from our usual environment but it's different nontheless. Since I got home I've been sitting in the livingroom sofa and listened to the records I bought, as well as some others I had from before. Meanwhile reading the newspaper and looking through a nice photobook that I have long put off opening. It's called "A day in the world" and features a global photoproject conducted in 2012. Basically, people could at a given date, take some pictures of the daily life and send it in to the publishers, and perhaps get their work into the book. I've also been sipping in a sour-beer from a local brewery for a while now, which I have to say was quite enjoyable. I realize that a lot of stuff in this post makes me seem like a total hipster. I'm not, promise! At least, I don't think I am...? /M
