or,
*i can't believe he said that. how stupid of him. asshole.on top of it he is got hundreds of posts. gimme a break.

myriam, I only wear my old one to exceptionally casual places like the gym - as a mom, I definitely have reservations about wearing a shirt that says anything "SUCKS!"
But the new one is baby blue with white letters, it's actually quite subtle. That said, I'll still only wear it when amongst friends, I am sure.

as far as Le$$ tee concerned, i am currently in negotiations with john jourden on a bartering deal that he will purchase his own designed shirt for me and i'll get him an old turkish banknot with 17 th. century turkish architect sinan on it.

Myriam, I truely understand your reservations.
I think it's both. cool: every archinector will notice other archinectors (not looking at the message).
For the message: not cool. Architecture and architects, the profession itself should be more respected. New message: architecture enchants!
That are enough deep thoughts from my side.... ;)

nothing out of the ordinary this weekend...
certainly no jumpin' pet parties...
Friday afternoon happy hour quickly turned into a quite, semi-intoxicated evening/movie on the couch w/ the gf.
Saturday morning breakfast at the local greasy spoon, followed by errands (including buying a pump for my soccer ball), hung a ceiling fan in the bedroom, followed by lazy afternoon and finally dinner and a movie (Borat) with the gf and her parents.
Sunday, can't find the charger for my camera = no picture for the architecture sucks t-shirt thread. enjoying my egg and cheese on a bagel. will take newly inflated soccer ball to park in an hour or so...

Nov 12, 06 1:10 pm

I was planning on goin' out yesterday evening but takin' care of the girls at home was too exhausting for doing anything after.

I'll report later.

That sounds like a garwondlerful day. Seriously. I miss my cat. And the crisp, chilly weather.
Today I'll be headed off to L.A.C.E. in Hollywood to check out a bathtub-sized rainforest made of Lexan, finches, plants, and iguanas. I met the artist responsible last night at a get together. He was from near my hometown - nice to hear the old accent.
The rainforest has a thunderstorm between 4:15 and 4:45. Who's with me? http://www.artleak.org/ I'll be there at 4:00.

I went to a football game last night that would have been garwonderful, if not for the refs. First, Oregon appears to score. The play is reviewed, the score overturned due to the reciever's ineligibility stemming from his little juant out of bounds just before the catch. This review took at least five minutes. Then the Oregon coaches CHALLENGE THE REVIEW. Then after another TEN minutes, the reversal is reversed due to a tipping of the ball (one may step out of bounds and then make a catch so long as you are not the first person to touch the ball after you've stepped back in). This enrages the crowd because after two different reviews totally 15 minutes, THEY STILL GOT IT WRONG! Why? Because the defender who tipped the ball had ALSO stepped out of bounds, so his tip of the ball was an illegal touch which basically invalidated any possibility of anyone else catching the ball. Fortunately, it wasn't a game-changing play, but in the ridiculously long four hour game that resulted from this mess, I caught a cold, and am again down for the count, having slept most of the day away.
