gosh. i haven't blogged for such a long time. so much stuff has happened. so um .. here they are in no particular order chronologically.

1) watched the matrix today. that's the matrix reloaded. i want to be the architect !! please somebody buy me a cream suit. after i saw him in the movie, my mind made so many mental links. recently, i sort of inferred that a person with a "cartesian sense of purity" usually likes things very mathematical in order to find them aesthetically pleasing. and a matrix sounds mathematical (to me) .. if i recall, u use matrices to solve cartesian equations ?? or something. anyway .. the point i'm trying to make is that a matrix is quite a controlled kind of thing normally and yet in the movie the matrix the possibilities are endless. please correct me if this is utterly incorrect.

2) i watched the ending bit of walker, texas ranger. gawd that show is so unintentionally funny. chuck norris poses in the opening bit with this huge as shot gun, yet after beating up some thugs, he picks up the sub-machine gun and throws it over the bridge (where a little child could pick it up and hurt him/herself very badly) with this "tsk childred, guns are baaaaad" kinda face. it's really a funny show. u must watch it to know what i mean 'coz it's more effective when i physically show u what he does to beat up the bad guys ..

3) my studio-mate and friend joel got glass in his eye. way. to. go.

4) number 2 on david letterman's "george bush's top ten reasons why they can't find any weapons of mass destruction":
"hey, i'm not genius"

5) i put my name down for serving drinks at exhibition openings here at architecture, landscape and visual arts (alva) faculty. $12.50 and hour and we're rostered. please may i make more than $50.

6) i pulled my first all-nighter !! for tech and structures assignment no less. now all we have to do for that stupid unit is the exam (easy peasy japanesey ??) and built a bridge out of balsa wood stuck together with pva glue. i'm in steve's team. and we're going to build super bridge that will withstand the weight of the heaviest .. weight.

silly steve quote of the week: 2 and 2 is 4 .. 2 and 2 is 4 ..

"my name is borat. like english barry. but u can call me steve. STEVE !!"

  • louis kahn - suffered a heart attack in a train station toilet leaving behind a wife, 2 mistresses and many many children.
  • mrs aalto #1 - no details just yet. anybody wish to share info?
  • scarpa - "died from a fall in japan" according to linda's book. specifically, he backed off the scaffolding of one of his buildings and died. poor mister scarpa.
  • gaudi - got hit by a tram and was mistaken for a hobo. was only identified days later.
  • frankie wright - died penniless in a desert in phoenix, arizona. once buggered off with a client's wife. wore a cape
