oh yes there was something else:
i mentioned before but don't quite recall the outcome. i have lots of redundant paper at work, large sheets of white plain bond, printed on one side. the ink isn't water-resistant, nor is the paper great for drawing on in ink, it's quite loose and absorbent (plotter paper) and is about 90gsm (at a guess). this is the normal state of things, some of this stuff looking a bit dog-eared and dusty, or folded in boxes. Some of the folded stuff is from the copiers, so potentially better for drawing on. Anyway, right now i have about 10 pristine (apart from the printing) A1 sheets on my desk. Anyone want them before they go under the desk to join the dusty ones?

also, someone commented the other day that with the popular demise of film photography people no longer have easy access to film cases, those marvellous multi-purpose waterproof little boxes. I, as you may have guessed, have lots. If anyone would like some just let me know.
I currently have several in my bag and by my bed, holding iron tablets, pencil sharpeners, moisturiser, a piece of solid deodorant, paper punch tips, needle and thread, scalpel blades, broken bracelet...

late notice i know, but from 6.30 tonight, free screening of archive short films (seems to now be a regular part of the London film fest) in trafalgar square, this year all about transport.

wrap up warm now.

i keep forgetting to post this:

Tonight from 6pm: Free beer and food (for the first few i would guess) at the new bierkeller on Southwark St, Hop Exchange cellars, next to the newly located Hopbine.

right??

since the new pad has fallen through, and an immediate fallback is unlikely, i'm keeping an eye out for new options, but in the meantime i'm switching things up around here (not right here, still being in the office). may as well since most of my mountain of detritus is in boxes and i can actually see bits of floor and skirting i haven't seen in a long while... gonna be tidying, sorting, binning and generally reshuffling. FEELS GOOD.

and then i really do want to have a party or something, or have people over or whatever.

LET'S CELEBRATE.


hey has anyone seen the Tillmans video of some panpipe-ish group busking "Wind of Change" outside some big shiny corporate office with the giant logo spinning slowly around? could be in germany. got that in my head right now. hmm... not as good as the boiling peas soundtracked by shouty religious sermon, but somehow more memorable...

( further to that - stuff for the cull )
