I'm heading to Sweden for five days, as part of a school trip. I'll be with two other teachers and two students. It's part of an EU conference on water pollution and acid rain. We'll be in Lysekil. If any of you are from Sweden and know the area, please give some advice on what to see and where to go. Thanks! I should be back by next Wed night.

Thank God.

Now we'll see if he can actually solve any of our incalculable problems.

They had a cameraman at the art opening here in Slovakia, from last Wednesday. Remember those paintings from last July? Well they're now on display. Here's a link - the language is all in Slovak, and I didn't get to talk. You can see me standing around in the dark suit. We'll see if this doesn't help me get a new job teaching art next year.

Thank you all again for the well wishes. Right now I'm about to launch a website for this artist residency dream of mine, but I want to choose a really good name.

The company itself will be called, "Brusnik Artist Residency"

And I want a really good domain name. I'm afraid www. brusnikresidency .org would be too long.

What you all think of it? Is www. brusnikart .org better? Would it make sense?

What about the .org part? would it look better as www. brusnikresidency .sk, or www. brusnikart .sk ?

Any opinions or other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

Hey! I'm back! Everything's fine, even if my belly still hurts like hell. I assume it should go away soon, and in every other way I'm fine. Thank you all for the well wishes, it's good to know I've got some people here who care. I got more messages here than on myspace
