The Airportline: Observations

It’s raining and snowing outside. The weather can’t make up its mind so it’s awkwardly in between, sleet they call it. I’m reading Dagens Nyheter about why people blog: The conclusion is that we are obsessed with reality, with ‘based on a real story’, but also because we living in a monologue society where people write more but discuss and listen less. This is nothing new and the author, Gertrud Hellbrand, fails to make a contribution (except trying to interpret blogs about everyday life as a feminist uprising since 80 percent of the diary bloggers are women. This must be the most toothless uprising in history!) when she clumsily finish the article my stating that ‘one sits down at the compute. Taking things in once own hand.’ (oh, what a revolutionary move! I will write about my dinner and add some photos!) I am contemplating going out in the sleet instead. There’s made up activism movements on a culture section in Sweden and ambivalent weather in Amsterdam. I’ll take a coffee on that.
