i have been doing bits n pieces of 3d work over the last few weeks. the course is going sortof well. so far it has been a refresher course in what i knew already, so my lack of proper finnish hasnt held me back so far. or maybe because i have maybe a 30% clue of whats going on, i am missing out on all the secrets that everyone else is getting. ah well. one thing i do find annoying is how hard it is to talk to people, finns are slightly different and quieter than irish people and but the language barrier is the biggest .. erm .. barrier.

i did some 3d images for päivis work last week, due to that i think i might be able to do some follow on work, i’ll know more on monday.

spotted today on aleksis kiven katu. also available in yellow.

no more choclate, until christmas.

kings of convenience concert tonight! jeow!

yesterday: pub/park/park

i have set up a bit torrent download page for sigur rós concert files. goto drrnwbb.com/bt.

at the moment there are two concerts in mp3 format and one unreleased video. i’ll be changing whats available for download every week or so. if you’re not a fan of bit torrent, dont worry as there is a few other methods to get the concert files [click].

oh mtv. your programmes have ruined my life. sisqos shakedown and its forebearers freaked me out so much i stopped clubbing. jackass does nothing for me. a few mild chuckles then i start to feel anger and pity. trl needs to be banned now, the sight of silly screaming kids makes me wanna kill plasticpopstar. but, “pimp my ride” has changed it all.

its on here now twice a night and its one of the best programmes ive seen in years. its got everything: crazy rapper host, random semi lost late teenage american kid with a crap car, ducktape, rust, surprises, lots of dudes messing around with cars in a graffitti riddled building, lots of silly neon and pointless over the top paint jobs and 60inch wheels or something. i am not a car person, i love trams and trains and stuff, but still “pimp my ride” is genius. well done mtv.
