hmmm, so the roommate Amelia (also delphi goddaughter) and I were discussing whether we wanted to bet on how long we could go without turning on the heat ...

then we realised that Bobby would kill us if we didn't let him turn on the heat at some point soon, though he was asleep when we discussed this and I'm beginning to think he might be interested in participating.

we didn't come up with any turns because we were laughing so hard about this possible bet.

though i'd probably lose -- or be disqualified for cheating once my heating mattress pad arrives and I start using it! :)

but stay tuned, you never know if this bet will take place or not

also, does anyone have any good ideas on 'creative' supplies for building architectural models? I've always failed at this -- i usually don't build models until the weekend and then don't really have time to devote to 'experimenting' and recreating something if the experiment fails, but I've decided that I have to do or die trying this time -- the constancy of chipboard and the saving-the-environment excuse is apparently wearing thin on the instructors...

i'm thinking of hitting up Pearl, A&C and Home Depot this weekend! .. can we say Zipcar?!

oh lor' it's been awhile...

so much to share, so little time to even sleep, let alone blog in my life right now. but the long and the short of it : back in classes, still at the same company (non-arch), new apartment and new roommates, no boy in my life and the summer was every ounce of down time that i needed.

One of my uncles' and his wife and their youngest son were in town for the evening. I had to leave the Florence Knoll lecture early to go meet them for what turned into dinner at the Hyatt Regency on Memorial Drive. I haven't seen this uncle and family since 1996 I think -- so ten or eleven years now, wow just realised how long it's been. Their oldest son is in NYC now -- he's my age -- and rather busy working in investment banking. Though I'm hopeful that when I go to visit Kim, he might have time for a coffee. Their youngest is about to start as an accountant in Orange County. So much has changed since I last saw them. They're not always able to at the family reunions so it was insane to see the youngest as a 21 year old now! But we had a lovely dinner and I'm glad I saw them. A couple of schoolmates were at the lecture too so I'll be get their notes to see what I missed.

The lecture was about Florence Knoll and her influence on design and interior design in the post-war era. Super interesting -- made even more so because the school provided wine and hors d'oeuvres and cookies! All before I had dinner! I love when schools give you alcohol to drink.

ok, it's late and time to eat fake baby sausages with the roommate! g'night!
