biogrrrrr. Born 1980. The End.

im now overly stressed because of the biography. CV's and these were always a weak point for me. i have nothing to say. i wrote the press-lady to ask for tips or suggestions (the organization head sent an email which said u can contact her for any questions). The funding of the tickets is still open, embassies etc cultural ministry are being asked. the hosting city is offering the upkeep incl foods. and Epson is sponsoring so you can get the big prints for the exhibition done there. great.

the participant list seems now final. theres people from Turkey, Russia, Indonesia, USA, Spain, UK...for starters, and yours truly representing Finland. about 25 people altogether.

very different styles...the few i checked were very journalistic galleries. portraits. black & white. abstract. celebrity photography.

the other night we went to Tiitta to make sushi and her friend Emma was there too. Ive met and photographed her before. it was Emma's first time eating sushi :) Tiitta and her both wore black and we discussed how nice it can be when you dont need to worry about stains and matching colors as much. i kind of miss my all-black style now. but what happens, happens, i just let it flow. right now i feel like comforting myself with black again. i painted my nails black. while the toenails are hotpink.

F continues on sick-leave... not surprising, he's got fever and all :( after his doctor appointment he picked up breakfast materials and delivered one to me in the bed. sweetness x 10. i got a call in the morning saying my doctors appointment was canceled this afternoon. ill get a new time for when i get back...oh well. i do have a lot of stuff to do here so i should look at the bright side.

happy to see America's Next Top Model this season was of normal size. officially plus size...but in practise, just normal, average....:) great.

the sushi setting at Tiitta's



















Emma by the computer, at Tiitta's. since i last saw Emma, she'd taken a full back tattoo, very beautiful set of different kinds of flowers, tangled, in black and white. not one of those harsh colorful things... its a beautiful gentle work of art.


















my bag and 'purse'. just practical. Maria wondered how im going to fit all my stuff into the blue thing but i think easily. wont have clean set of clothes for every day but i dont care. Jukkapoika borrowed this barrel bag for me. it has backpack straps too so it can be easily carried.













a great find in the series of body lotions. Moringa milk by Body Shop. very milky liquid in a handy spray bottle and the smell is heavenly. for normal to dry skin. but i doubt it helps if the skin is *really* dry :( ive been really satisfied with this, hence the free advertizing for BS.













i need to fill my video-player with stuff...i think im gonna have pleeenty of time on these coming weeks to watch some. besides the dozens of hours on plains and airports (real time hogs, the airports!), it really looks like im going to have to take the 24h train from Cluj to Warzaw. i dont mind...but since F is waiting for me there and i plan to meet lotsa people... well. i even checked flights from Belgrad to Warsaw (i looked for all the nearby airports), but theyre all just as expensive, if not more.
