'It's A Library Thing'

I love reading magazines. On average I used to purchase ATLEAST between 10-15 magazines/month but obviously it got to a point where they just ended up all over the place and never got read. Needlees to say, it wasn't a very good investment. The problem is I still prefer some nice quiet slowcontent from a good magazine than spending time in front of my computer surveying my +300 feedssubscriptions in Shrook. A good 45 minutes in the sofa with Monocle or Fader is far more contemplative-friendly than the overinformation frenzy that the rss-feedsystem gathers for me. I've been looking for a good place to ease my magaddiction and some time ago I discovered that the Swedish Parliament here in Stockholm had a really good librarydepartment with an extensive section of national and international press, way better than the City Public Library. The latest newsmagazines and backissues of Economist, Time, Newsweek, China Quarterly and everyother magazine I used to buy. Obviously they don't carry any popcultural mags on music and such but I have still made it a weekly happening to drop in and spend an hour or two. I'm definitely the odd one out in the small bunch of superacademics and political partymembers occupying this place.

'I Move, You Move - Just Like That!'

My obligatory 'ansjovis knäckemacka' / pitchblack coffee @ the local wifi spot

I'm not really obliged to check into an office everyday anymore which is just a fantastic feeling. Nowadays I spend about 5 hours/week in an officeenvironment and truthfully I've always been shitscared of those places anyway. Most officespaces today are just completely and utterly counteractive to creativity. Seriously, people within the adindustry and whatnot really need to get out of those hellholes more. Personally I'm steady grindin' from any café with a wifi connection analyzing and writing reportpapers on the creative industry, popular culture, digital media and whatever occurence that might connect the three. The only thing I'm lacking is a sort of studioplace to try out more screen printing and a few personal creative endeavours I'm having, but that'll have to wait a few months. This year I'm also seriously thinking about moving abroad more permanentely with a quarterly stint in London before heading over to Asia again. Both London and Asia (Shanghai, Singapore..) are workexperiences any selfrespecting planner would want to sink his teeth and brain into atleast once in ones career. Done both but the itch is still very much alive so I guess it's soon time to seek some additional remedy. Speaking of moving, I'm also in the process of moving this channel (yes, I refuse to call it a blog!) and data to my new digital abode. Soon come.
