So imagine my surprise today when I check the adjusted results from last nights Level III studio lottery and see my name under Yung Ho's Ideal City studio? It was a nice surprise to start the day with. Classwise, it means I drop out of real estate development to accomodate the 21 hrs of studio (how are these numbers generated anyway?). I don't mind tho, I'm too excited about getting back into a studio after a one year hiatus to care.
Went around Beantown today taking photos, sketching and writing notes on the city for my Methods class. I limited myself to Boston Commons, Washington avenue, and a bit of chinatown. I havn't yet begun to scratch the surface and didnt expect to on my first half-day study trip out there, but hopefully I get more accomplished tommorrow. The density of Boston is wonderful and makes me believe my prof's description of Boston as the "westernmost european city." I would validate that claim just from the juxtaposition of historic, dated buildings next to shiny new construction (for me, reminiscent of berlin), but i feel that would be too shallow an analysis. Did a lot of walking and had dinner at the Taiwan Cafe - really good noodles.
Man do my feet hurt.
under the dome.
these fish occupied an aquarium placed next to my head at lunch. a little creepy.
TOTALLY KITTENS!

Congrats! So do you know Guiggster? we should do some kind of archinect meetup so us ex-students can come across the bridge to student-land. Have you been to the enormous room yet? good times...
do you mean chris? yeah i know him. don't know what the enormous room is, but i'll look for one ;) too bad i didn't see you sooner or you guys might have been able to make it out tonite .....
if you look for the enormous room--you won't find it. the name is ironic--or at least lifted from a line of cummings'. it's a tiny upstairs lounge in central square, above the Central Kitchen... don't get too excited though, it's not for everyone! But I like it, it reminds me of SF. Big leather ottomans for everyone to sit and... well... lounge on.
yeah i would love to meet some of you students. i've always had a thing for MIT architecture. your neighbor down the road, however, tends to scare or annoy me.
Ha!
Also, that Totally Kittens thing is creeping the fuck out of me. It looks like someone smooshed a kitty beneath glass. ugh.
it ain't nothin compared to banzai kittens. :D
