again unable to update this page, which seems to be getting mainly readers who look for stuff on the bauhaus. are there any friends out there reading this?
today we had a nice MA-year gathering with maria and vibe here in helsinki, which was really nice. what’s up details are mainly in the notorious facebook and in my work blog polemics. it’s so great to find old friends through the facebook.
my postdoc funding/work situation is still a bit problematic for 2008, but i’m trying my best. i’ve also become an actor in the scene of culture and politics as the editor of ydin, an established magazine on politics here in finland. it’s just a hobby and voluntary work, though. but also a great chance to meet interesting people and to have some kind of affiliation and identity in finland, the land of the precariat academic.
i’ve also had a few days off in the US, where I participated in a workshop on place naming in the University of East Carolina. such wonderful countryside! i did my share of driving for a while exploring the eastern part of north carolina, and my share of used plastic plates and cups, too. seems like they’ve benned washing-up liquid over there.
