...when 10 year-old you and your 13 year-old brother took the subway by yourselves downtown to go to the movies. Then there wasn't enough movie to see It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, so you went around the corner and saw From Russia with Love.
"And don't tell mom that we saw this movie instead!"
And then my copybook at school was never the same again, I mean, how many times can you draw
in it?
But before all that, there was playing miniature golf along the Iron Curtain, dinner in Iceland twice (same waitress--"Otto, why is it always fish?" "Steve, It's an island!"), and still being driven around in a Mercedes-Benz 220S.
when the stereotypical architect was like this: male, 50ish, married, smoked a pipe, wore glasses, had a beard, tweed jacket with leather patches at the elbows (the bad old days)
Do you remember...
what do you remember?
Remember...
... the Rocketeer?
... Volvo 240 DLs with the really hard headrests and weird pull door openers?
... finding directions somewhere before the internet?
... they lycra bicycle shorts fad of the 80s?
does any one remember laughter???
bicycle shorts were just a fad?
...er... I mean, Oh, yeah, what a silly fad. I'm glad I don't wear lycra any more.
does anyone remember when archinect had like...architecture on it?
f-in A
...Sport Billy?
...before rugby turned professional?
...new kids on the block? pegging your pants? REAL saturday morning cartoons (not that yugioh shit kids watch now). i feel old :(
the phrase, "sike!" (or "psych!")
...centurions (they were like gi-joe kind of figures that had machine bits that clicked on to them to transform them into vehicle-type things)
...SKIDZ pants?
...and the more money your mum had, the better stuff you could clip on to them:
I could never afford them, so I just watched the tv series and made my own out of lego. mine were cooler.
I hate my job.

Next year I was drawing building sections.
