portents

the last full day in Helsinki for a long time. months. pink orange sunrise begins to happen before 0800, but the sun will not actually rise before 1030 at least. slow comings and goings. by the smoke coming from the power station, the winds are coming from Russia. we know nothing of portents, omens, or prophecies. so how can we judge them as … information, messages, knowings, or simple fabrications. okay, ignoring all is a solution. but. head to the office, then to Media Lab for demo-day where various projects are shown to the public. end of the day, a short visit to Susanna and Tapio’s place. Tapio is back in the north for a couple days, so we miss each other through travel, a not-uncommon instance. I leave three bags over there in storage for the next months of movement. disliking the very fact that I HAVE all that much stuff to have to put in storage, like the junk in the US still, moldering away in a storage unit in Newton, New Jersey, since January of 1996. four years, paying USD 40 each month. could have shipped it west with that money, but USD 40 a month is quite different than USD 1800 in a day, to rent a truck to drive things west. which is on the plan for summer next.
