progress report

blah. still compelled to stay up way past bedtime without even doing anything productive.
and still not being that productive.

Have started to look at more tutorials and stuff. But haven't made any significant changes I'd like to.

work view

this pic was taken last friday. I don't sit right next to the window but can easily see the views from where i'm sitting. The office is quite long, with windows running along the length of it. in the distance is hampstead

sister & kozyndan

sister had friends visiting and they randomly found kozyndan doing a signing at giant robot.. they were doing portraits of people and anna had them do our portrait! kozyndan are an illustrating couple (he's american, she's japanese).. and they do these awesome panoramas..

anyway.. here are pics my sister just emailed me.. i think i might print one of them and put it on my wall

another pic from work

we work on the 6th floor, and this is the view out the window behind where i sit... pic was taken 15 Nov.. that's the imax on waterloo roundabout.. i leave work sometime after 5 pm.. i think night falls by 4:30

christmas fairies @ work

it's december and at work christmas fairies decorated the office.. here's some of the decorations, and two of my fav ladies ;)

here is alice with 2 chocolate coins left by the fairies..

here is kirsten. hard at work

anish kapoor

Went to see anish kapoor at Royal Academy with celia last friday.

Anish Kapoor @ RA

had a looooovely time! went after work, double espressoed up, and was good to go. I think we were there over 2 hours!.  when i first heard about the exhibit, i didn't think it would really be my thing.  contemporary sculpture isn't something I really know about.  But the work really engaged me.  it probably helped that i watched a bbc programme about the exhibit before going.  don't think i'm able to articulate why i enjoyed it so much. I just really liked looking at a lot of it.

The two really exciting pieces are a big f-ing block of wax that slowly travels on rails between the 5 back rooms of the RA, and a canon that is fired every 20 minutes and sends wax shooting into a corner.  it was actually great going at a very busy time and having the crowd really into it as well.  me and celia waited like an hour to see the big block of wax travel from one room to another.  it's interesting to me that they let him throw red wax all over the place.

ahh.. love 'culture' in london. sadly, it's getting a bit pricey for me and will have to stay at home more..

we did thanksgiving last saturday. will post pics later as i lost my camera at joao's house. he said he found it though so, crossing fingers, hopefully i'll get it back soon

halloween at the station house

good times.. wish i took more pics of other people there!

my costume was not successful. no one guessed octopus :( i got little miss riding hood.. but was ok when people guessed lobster.. good enough
