am i the only one who can think of any good names for a practice? almost every suggestion that isn't mine...just sucks. maybe i should be in charge of naming arch firms...i could be the official director of the architecture appellation department...or some bullshit like that

puddles, you do in fact carry the firm name thread on your very capable shoulders.

diabase, wow!! Charlie is amazingly beautiful (as is the squishy little Jack - you can tell even though he was at the time of the picture in the mainly squishy phase) but where on earth did he get that blonde hair and fair fair skin?! Must be from your partner as you are dark-haired, no? In any case, beautiful. Thank you for posting that picture, I love it.

So I fly to Phoenix tomorrow, which means myriam and I will pass each other while airborne, I expect. And I won't be around much for five days.

Bless my sister's generous heart, on Friday I will be at spa. All day. An all day spa day. Nothing to do all day but be at spa. (The saliva builds just thinking about it. And if the saliva builds at spa, someone will gently wipe it away for me with a scented towel.) I love spa, and if there is one thing that Phoenix has learned to do right in the 18 years since I left, it is spa.

I think lb is excited about going to spa, lol. Good for you! You deserve it.

I am so excited about mightylittle's version of "archinect delight" that I am singing along to the song right now....

diabase, I did not mention this earlier but your children are starkly beautiful. I don't think I've ever seen an archinect baby that wasn't, but the boy with the blond hair and the boy with the dark dark hair, they are just gorgeous. Well done sir!

db, that little one in the foreground has the look of an old soul. He's more figured out than me. But then again, most of you do.

It's hard to believe tc is ONLY one year.

Not long before we hit 69 pages. Hey my birthday is the 69th day of the year. Heh heh heh heh.

Ha, that's dirty/funny. garpike how many years did it take you to figure that out? Nevermind, you're still asleep.

I'm keen on the slash lately. I really do hate/love that game though, the one that leeque posted. Stupid/fantastic game. Could someone please just email me the answer to level 6 so I can go on with my life?

Ok, just had my annual review. It wasn't really a review, per se. It was more a discussion about how much I rule. Ha ha, just kidding, but seriously, it wasn't a review. We talked about my involvement on several projects, how I'm in charge of getting everyone in the office (and my client) up to speed on LEED, and they thanked me again for my good work with a new client, which apparently is giving us more business.

Oh, and this is funny: they asked if I had any qualms about working with any of our clients (some of which are big bad corporations) and I said that I like to keep an open mind, especially if I hear that this particular organization is interested in sustainability. Which is true. But apparently I scoffed at it before. Fortunately I'm not working for anyone who I find objectionable at this point, so that's cool.


New topic: the tour continues.....

Speaking of touring, Steven, have you seen this hotel in Louisville called the 21C hotel or something? It's new and modern and very cool from what I've heard. My best friend had to review it for a magazine. I am trying to come up with a reason to stay overnight in Louisville so I can stay there.

indeed wk. i think i've raved about it here before. not only a hotel/restaurant/bar but also /museum. (since you're into slashes today.)

it's by deborah berke, with my old firm, and the clients are former clients of mine. ...also the clients for rex's museum plaza. if you can stay there, you need to do it. i'll try to join you for dinner at 'proof', but if i can't, you should do that too.

i'm still alive

and i think i meant to say post counts last night as a reference to the fact that i just double/triple posted something, i.e., as a way of artificially pumping up my line of "Total Comments: 1517"...

on second thought, it does feel like we are living in a post-cunt era, no?

Jan 19, 07 1:21 pm  ·

yeah, I haven't heard 'cunt' in a long time.

I got a response from the firm about the freelance thing.... very noncommittal. Complemented me on my conceptual thinking, and said they'd be in touch 'when we get any overflow that suits your abilities'. Lord knows when that will be, but hopefully they meant it.
