Wave culture

I unplugged for a whole seven days and really enjoyed the (eventhough some won't believe it) lack of technology-getaway to the Swedish island of Gotland. We were situated on the east coast of the island in the town of Ljugarn and it was everything I had hoped it would be: relaxing, quaint and quiet. I agreed to not take my computer with in my attempt to just chill out dig the country life. I did happen to however lug with me my bicycle that had no business being out in the country at all: a fixed gear with road tires. But so be it. I'm guessing that my prolonged trackstand overlooking the Baltic Sea from Ljugarns Hamn was a first and it was worth it. Remember the woobie from Mr. Mom? My bike and my computer are, without a doubt, my woobies. To leave them both behind would've been drastic. I'm a material girl and this is a material world.
