Kirsikkapuut kukkii. Sataa vettä.

Mulla on ikävä elokuvissa käymistä. Täällä pitäs olla auto jos haluis leffateatteriin, tai sit pitäs käydä Lontoossa, mut se on varmaan törkyhintasta siellä.

Tohon kommenttiin liittyy löyhästi uusi ryhmäprojekti, joka ei ole vielä täysillä lähtenyt käyntiin, nimeltä Setbuild. (Tai projektin takia varmaan tajusin ikävöiväni leffateattereita.) Tehtävänä on valita stilli elokuvasta ja luoda se uudelleen studioon, viikossa. Studiossa on sillon nettikamerat, joten projektia pääsee seuraamaan melkein reaaliajassa, jee. Noilla sivuilla on myös kaikkien ryhmien blogit projektista, me alotetaan omamme varmasti piakkoin. Ryhmän numero on 9.
Nyt kun siellä vielä ei ole paljon mitään, niin käykää kurkkaamassa edellisvuosien stillejä. Paljon on hienoja.


(Tossa oikealla on toi linkki Tobyn blogiin, josta löytyy sen tekemä video yhteen projektiin. Käykää kurkkaamassa jos kiinnostaa, siinä esiintyy (siis näkyy) tätä kaveriporukkaa täältä, ihmisiä joiden nimiä oon maininnut, kämppikset, ja minäkin.)

I had a film in the crappy camera on Saturday, didn't know what there was. It was a nice surprise when I developed the film. There was some year old pictures. Here's some of them.



My little sister.




Park Ciutadella, Barcelona. (Tuomo might have taken this one, we are not sure.)




Barcelona, some museum, I think it was the museum of contemporary art.

It's been a while... Time flies, what else can I say? I don't know where to start. Lots of things have happened, and in a way, nothing has happened. Rochester remains the same.

I'll start about today. The weather was great today, and (inspired by Naroa) I decided it was time to take my crappiest camera out of the closet and go for a walk with it. I'll show the results as soon as I have time to develope and scan the film. It was somehow really relaxing to take pictures with that plastic camera, I also felt like a tourist (in my home town) cause I just wondered around taking pictures.

Otherwise life here has been mostly school, and since last friday; school and gym! Life gets a bit funny when you live in a place like this. But I have to say that it has been really nice going to the gym (I've been mostly swimming) because I've felt myself a lot more energetic straight away. The gym itself is a bit odd place, members only club. But I'm not complaining. I'll tell more about the place some time.


On Thursday me and Tuomo went out with my classmates Tracy and Andri. Tracy taught us some useful english expressions that we hadn't heard before:

Lift that didn't go to the top floor
A picnic short of a sandwich

We also heard, for the first time ever, someone saying that finnish people are beautiful. Wow. I've heard that we might be the ugliest people in Europe.

This is all for now. I promise that I'll try to take a grip of myself and start writing more often. But I'm not promising anything about writing in english every time.
