wahoo. just booked tickets home for ten days in costa del éire*. gonna be great.

march 18th to 28th.

(costa del éire = ireland)

i hate these evenings when i get nothing done.

three days after i ordered two books (3d max 5 bible and the fantastically titled “3d max 5 for dummies (for dummies)”) both arrived all the way from amazon.co.uk!. good work. now i have to go start studying the programme. doh.

(im also nervously looking at the 3d max 2 book that is sitting on the shelf, unopened, beside me that i bought sometime in ‘99).

last night was the opening of the exhibiton that i mentioned yesterday. it was a fantastic night, two other shows were opening at the same time. one was a show on the fabrics/clothes that were from the time when the silk road was flourishing. the other show was based on some very very eqsuisate dresses from (i think) a helsinki designer.

anyway, here are some pics from syöpä, clothes go on sale in some helsinki shops sometime soon, and online now i think. www.syopa.net

the space was made from heavy duty cardboard, stuck together to give an eclosed space inside a much larger auditorium. so the floor, walls and ceilings were just cardboard (one or two pairs of stilletoes were heard cracking though the top of the cardboard). try to check it out, its there till mid feb.

in a few hours there is an exhibition/charity fund raiser opening in the design museum here in helsinki. its for the cancer organisation of finland. pictures have been taken, clothes have been designed, spaces have been constructed and words thought up to match them all. so its all coming together to raise money and is open for about three weeks.

the photos i took yesterday (sunday) are from a new lot i put online aswell. go here to see them: 2004.01.18 helsinki

one of the people in the office im in at the moment, anteeksi is doing her thesis at the moment, which involves putting self made flags on the outside of our building.

i found a new park, leninpuisto, that was hidden in behind the linnanmäki theme park

a nice walk on a sunday morning in and around alppi.
