mm. finally can go to bed. was very mentally blocked just now .. watching flcl didn't work, and got really really reaLLY narky >.< .. but it's all good now. i shall put this design concept to the test at tomorrow's studio session.
also ..
i finally broke my shopping drought and bought a cute little dress .. will post a pic soonish. and also, a flower pin !! that's my cheap alternative to buying a new top. i'll "reinvent" an old one =DD happy joy. anyway. *thinks* oh yes. newest form of corporal punishment for the design geek. DEATH BY ARCHITECHAIR !! only linda and i can sentence ppl so far.. heh. it's like the electric chair, but the form is that of the typical architect-designed chair.
also, if ever you see an asian girl with dyed brown hair talking to a brick, it's probably linda. this is what she said today .. almost verbatim..and therefore not verbatim at all:
"i say to brick, 'what do you want, brick?' .. brick says, 'i want an arch!" 'but arches are expensive and a concrete lintel can do the job just as well! what do you say to that brick?' .. brick says, 'i want an arch!'"
honestly, i worry for her sometimes.

i get home today after a (very satisfactory) day of shopping, and my sisters declare, "you have a niece ! her name is tammy". righto. so this tammy turns out to be an egg - the kind that pops out a chicken's bum. it's a cheap thrill giving lynne a panic attack by trying to hug tammy.

-warning- super long post ahead
talk about a productive day !! linda and i managed to buy dennis a birthday present (hugo boss motion, limited edition with free messenger bag =DD). i found 2 pairs of earrings, and by find i mean bought. i took people on a tour of our installation, and got some nice photos of me in it !! it's right up there, below the blog banner.
also, we had a fascinating lecture on scandinavian architects and did a couple of kneaderball sculptures. we're proudest of this one though. it's called death by architecture and it's in commemoration of all the architects we know of who've died tragic/interesting deaths. and there's quite a few of them.
i know it's really blurry, but essentially it's a figure sitting on the architechair, i.e. the chair that all architects seem to design.
the caption reads: DEATH BY ARCHITECTURE in a modernist font. and below is a list of architects we know of who've died in funny ways. here they are listed with details of death:
- bernini - fell on his sword. literally. he wanted to commit suicide, then changed his mind, but tripped and fell on it anyway resulting in slow painful death. silly bugger.
- le corbusier - went for a swim in the ocean and never returned.
- louis kahn - collapsed 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. no details specified. again, anybody wish to share info?
- gaudi - got hit by a tram and was mistaken for a hobo. was only identified days later.
i wonder how we will meet our demise. bored to death by a nigel westbrook/geoffrey london/fiona hogg lecture? driven slowly insane in a house of card? only time will tell..
