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.

I also took some photos of a bed;  any you may wonder why;  well it is a really big bed and it has an interesting story.
