summer time

Journal Entry: Thu May 10, 2007, 10:56 AM
Classes are over and I just found out that I am for sure taking German this summer. It's something I need to do for my degree, but I am not super excited about it. I only need to be able to translate the language, not speak it, so that should be easier. So if anyone wants to write comments in German, I can make pathetic attempts to translate for practice.

I'm writing a paper about architectural form driven by a fear of other people, based on an essay that a historian wrote in 1971. And I am writing another paper on the rhetorical use of biology in 1960 in the work of another architectural historian. Actually, I have four papers to write this summer.

But what I am really thinking about much of the time is:
1. my tiny tomato plants
2. Lego Star Wars
3. joining the local rowing club
... it's been 10 years since I rowed, but I would love to be back on the water.

  • Listening to: Tori Amos - Virginia
  • Reading: Karl Popper- The Open Society and Its Enemies
  • Playing: Lego Star Wars
  • Drinking: lukewarm coffee

Yea, I never have any idea how my work (art or papers) communicate to other people. I can always think of millions of ways to see things, sometimes it is hard to see why people choose one way over another. But that's part of what makes life fun, right?

I am good, thanks for asking. Trying to finish up some papers from last year, helping to put together a syllabus for a housing course and looking forward to having all of my coursework for my PhD done. One more year. I think I liked my masters program better or I am just too old for this sitting in class business.

And you?

Thankyou again for your insightful comment, it's nice to know that the piece is communicating to at least one person in a way I'd like it to, haha.

How are you doing anyway? :)

A bit busy to respond to you in full right now... but just wanted to let you know how happy I am to hear from you!
~Kablakistan2:iconKablakistan2: Apr 11, 2006, 5:53:28 PM
Ah, cool. Yale is pretty nice, the people here seem quite happy and are quite friendly. It's a small community, and I think that is part of it.

couldn't help but notice your studying @ Yale. Got a friend up there about to finish his first year of grad school...trombone studies.

later.

Why thank you. I actually know very little about "Art". I am an architect by training and a theorist by instinct.

But thanks for the watch.

I hope you find your way.. And as you said, to create somethng would probably make you feel better along the way..
Sometimes everything just seems to be dried out - only to burst free again later.
Hope your creativity bursts free soon again:)

Happy new year:)
~Kablakistan2:iconKablakistan2: Dec 30, 2004, 10:07:28 PM
You're so kind.
Thanks.
I spend too much time worrying about what to do with my life to have much time for art these days.
Sad how that works.
... especially when painting would make me feel better.
*Linlith:iconLinlith: Dec 26, 2004, 4:33:39 AM
Merry Christmas to you:)
I would so much like to see more deviations coming from you - especially your paintings:)

You've got a nice gallery, I really like your paintings:)
Thanks for commenting my stuff..

ah
i see
i like the new teeth
and I agree with others, the heels are the weak part of the whole thing

the only other comment i would have, is that i wouldn't want you to make him look too old. Just cause it seems that people in the garden of eden should look more child-like?
what do you think?
