its so much better than both us gossip and news sites together. Ah...
so its been quite a month – ive taken a break from writing here because one, there wasn’t much to report, and two, i didn’t want to remind myself of the boredom id be documenting. My job is so boring. One of my coworkers thinks its actually a front for hamas.
The clock is ticking on my big move, im living on 103rd and west end ave in this insanely nice apt., one little section of which im renting from this mother and her son. I figured it would be better than getting a shitty studio for the same amount in harlem. Plus theyre super nice and I have three windows, and my own bathroom. Woo!! So of course this information has ushered in the inevitable month of pre-school obsession over how Ill decorate the room. I remember last year I actually had nightmares about it – like I showed up at my friend’s room and it was 10x nicer. But anyways my dilemma is over this hanging light from Normann Copenhagen that I really want to have in the room:
I bought one as a Christmas gift for my parents – I brought it home from denmark. The thing is, they haven’t actually hung it – it’s perched atop a shelf on the landing. I guess it makes sense because it didn’t come with a socket or wire, and were still getting situated in our new house… but it makes me think: do they not actually like it? Because I would take it in about 3 seconds. I mean honestly I bought it because I liked it, it’s doesn’t fit with the rest of the house. So I don’t know. But im certainly not about to take it after giving it – I couldn’t. im not gonna be that guy. No way.
I guess im a little nervous now to move – but actually not really. I just have no idea what it will be like at the GSAPP. I just pray to god it’s like my Copenhagen studio – where everyone liked each other, and that made it easy to hang out in the studio for ten days straight. And wed play music and dvds – that was great. My big fear is that everyone will keep to themselves and never speak to each other about anything except at crits. That would be horrifying.
I went down to ny last week to find an apt (we were in rhode island that week) – I stayed with Justin and jarett at their apt on 131st and lennox. Their neighborhood is nice – historic harlem – though it seems like some people really despise them living there. college students = soulless gentrification. It makes sense. although they live like 4 blocks from a huge bruce rattner mall, so i have a feeling its not actually about gentrification. Justin got mugged on Wednesday – which is horrible. I just cant imagine him getting mugged. I hope hes okay.
