Emptiness

Funny, isn't it, how much you miss what's closest to you in this world when it's not there.

Maybe it's just me.

I had forgotten alot of the fun times, but now I remember how much we used to laugh. Every single day. Anyway, trying to survive here in the archipelago - it's healing out here by the sea. I went to a special place yesterday where I took a photograph once with someone very close to me. Life is too precious to throw away.

Have a good midsummer tomorrow everyone. Dunno if anyone even reads this, but still.

Automatic Shops???

Was seriously confused the other day as to whether I was actually on Earth or, indeed, in space. Yes, folks. You heard me. Space!
I visited this so called "automatic shop" called Laxomat. When you arrive, you swipe your credit card to open the door. It then reads "Welcome Lina Kvist", like at the gate of heaven (or hell) when you die, I suppose.

You then proceed to enter and the place is empty. You pick whatever food you like (everything consists of salmon though) then put it on a counter (which automatically understands what you've taken). You then swipe your card again, and pay, and get your receipt printed out. As it prints out, the door on the other side opens automatically so you can exit, then neatly locks behind you as you leave.

Good Lord. What's next? Possibly swiping your VISA as you enter the gate of Heaven and an automatic voice subtly telling you - "Sorry, we're full".
