January 2007
It is almost a month into 2007 now; where does time go? I have been busy at work and getting stressed out at times; I am maybe trying to do too many things. I need to slow down a bit.
It snowed in London on Wednesday January 24th; I did not know until I literally stepped out of the 'flat' to go to work. The tree is just near where I live.
Today, I was having an informal chat with Shimpei about the computer game art project. I need some help on it with the art production. We then went for a walk around Piccadilly and stopped at the courtyard of the Royal Academy. There are these 2 concrete structures; Shimpei thought the structures looked rather unsafe and I pondered that. It must have been some work involved to get these things built. The piece is called Jericho.

And then I went to Victoria & Albert museum in South Kensington. I took some time to have a look at the rooms on Japan. China, and South Asia.
There is an light and audio installation in the court yard.
The mystery skin condition continued
I wrote a blog entry some time ago about this back in July 2006.
This skin condition that I have had over a year and half now seems to be going away. I am on treatment taking some fairly strong pills. The funny thing is the rash did seem to have changed a bit before I started the medication. The dermatologists I have been to still don't know what it is but they wanted to treat it.
Update more photo galleries online
Finally, finally, finally. I have added some more galleries to the web-site from what I started last week.
And here is the copy from one of the sections:
During the summer in June, it was London architecture week. I went and checked out a few things. I also walked a bit around the Clerkenwell Historic trail. I have lived in London 10 years now as an adult and there is still much I have not seen.
There was an audio installation set up in Clerkenwell that was quite interesting : http://www.thelondonoasis.com/
I did a guided tour of the South Bank of the Thames which included a visit to the famous Oxo tower.
There was also a Pecha Kucha as part of it at Sadler's Wells. I have been trying to see a Pecha Kucha ever since Jayne Jordan told me about them. They are normally held at the ICA in London. Pecha Kucha comes from Japan and the basic idea is that you get a fixed amount of to make a presentation or talk about something. It was a mixed bag of talks at this one.
