As I was getting in this evening, I gave my mom a call. Since I hadn't seen my parents for about three weeks, I thought that I should at least call and ask if I could come over some time this weekend. When I asked how she was doing, she replied that she was cooking dinner and asked if I wanted to come over. Quickly realizing that the edible things in my kitchen were limited to three tomatoes, two lemons and some very old ginger cookies, I weighed the options of either getting no dinner but get some writing on my thesis done or getting nice salmon with basmati rice and lemon sauce and hang out with my parents and brother. I was out the door in a second. So the good thing about living in Copenhagen is that I always end up doing very spontaneous things, like drinking white wine with my parents discussing my dads latest acquired gadgets; this time being a network monitor that should try and at least diagnose why their wireless network worked so bad in the apartment. you could be on the network for about three minutes before getting kicked off, which had annoyed the h... out of me at Christmas. Or we would discuss Wiebe Bijker's work on sociotechnical theories in relation to bicycles, bakelite and bulbs. So Copenhagen is not a bad plact to be right now. But this means that my magic number of the day is a steady 1000 which I managed to reach at my coffee shop this morning.
