berlin stopover

for those of you who know me, the idea that i might have spent 2 days in a city and not been to a gallery, or run around like an idiot, might be shocking.

perhaps that's why it has been so great.

i'm in berlin and i've just spent the time moving my stuff into my studio/wohnung, writing postcards, emailing updates to my friends and family, catching up with some peeps from back home and my german lieblings here. i've used this time as a little bit of admin time, and it feel spretty good. i'm currently looking over the top of berlin, so i have a whole lot of sky to look at, a tree that is a bit eucalyptish and some funny little birds that remind me of magpies.




i've slept until 11am both days and have generally had a rather innocuous little break. i can't tell you how much i need it :)

the last week was pretty full of stuff and tomorrow i head to ars electronica, which will also be full of more stuff. and then, on my way back home - venice (more stuff) and munich (again).

so, i've been treating these days in berlin as a bit of preparation - downtime without the beach. or something.

it's been quite nice, really.

usual service will resume tomorrow, i expect, as i quickly wrap up the last of isea and a few cool things from london part 2.
