Today I owe my health and well-being to PLaystation. Oh yes, you read that last sentence correctly. No more than 20 minutes ago I accidentally turned the electric burner on underneath a pyrex baking pan. I was cutting some tomatoes, grilling chicken, and wondering why it was taking so long for the water to start boiling. To pass the time I ( Read more... )

These days have been trying in the relationship of Tony and Sam. Today, that has ended. We have separated. Neither of us are very depressed about the whole situation and neither are surprised. So I guess that's that.

The effect of bureaucracy on architecture...SOM's redesign of Freedom Tower...absolutely horrendous. That is all I have to say about that travesty.

Well, to start off on what may develop into a twisted and socially deformed recent life excerpt, I just stumbled across a small gem on itunes. Apparently, Bratz, the wide-eyed future whores-to-be of the doll and action figure world, have cut their own album.

It makes me over-think things not because I believe in them, but because I enjoy debating both the fictional and real aspects of the situations. At the same time, it seems to be persuading me to ( Read more... )

The wind is blowing unbelievably hard on this overcast day. An exclamation point of sorts to this most amazing week of weather. I do love windy days. There is a certain pleasure i take in having to battle the elements just to walk around. I cocoon my body in layers of clothes and march steadfastly through the gale. I love the sound the wind ( Read more... )

Sometimes life moves so slowly...it seems it has stopped.

Sometimes its refreshing to return to a place that rarely changes, but where you are able to travel but a couple times a year. Its sort of surreal in its familiarity and general feeling of comfort. Of course, no one i know is here this ( Read more... )
