places that are lived in. inhabitation, and designing/making buildings founded on its anticipation, is always a difficult sticking point with colleagues, sometimes clients...it must be a fetish cuz i cant splain it rationally...

i am into timing my tops. 18 seconds to 4.34 min., reached.. over 4 minutes happen ones in a while. it is all about, fabrication, materials, balance, physics and throwing skills. comparing to some of these high performance turbo's, eames' tops are just an opening act. ;)
i have my films too.

cliche of course, but i have a genuine fountain pen fetish.
i was into VWs for a long time, but lately its been BMWs and Audis... basically any european car sets my heart a flutter.
i also really enjoy fixing things, anything i can fix or think i can fix, i will try.
and then there's my personal 'projects'...

rooftops: finding ways onto them. The always changing view from them.
Nice obsession Alana, very amelie-ish,
Right now I find myself obssessed with portfolio making, and oveall grad school stuff.
My other enjoyment is the occassional vegan chocolate chip cookie with a tall glass of milk.
And ofcourse my wife, without her, I dont get the energy to work on the grad-stuff, or the cookies,
the gardens of mental institutions
