the predatory wasp of the palisades
geez i haven't been able to post for three days i've been so busy! what an intense week. it was bad and good.
the big news on wednesday was that we bought out tickets to the BAHAMAS!!! hahahah! i feel so bad for spending so much of my parents' money but i'm picking up more hours at the lab and have a pay-back schedule. the big drama was that justin booked my plane ticket to nassau in MY MOM'S NAME! i pretty much blew my stack. i had to cancel that ticket and buy a NEW one. goddamnit. i won't dwell on this event now, since it all got worked out, but i'll tell you what, i was PISSED. my pissiness has subsided, mostly because poor justin cant leave his room he's so sick, he'll puke everywhere.
so we're going to nassau for seven days. now it's all anyone can talk about - it's really only a month away. we're staying in some shitty hotel but it's on the beach, and has two pools, so wtf?
then thursday (yesterday) was weird, we had forte's class where we talked about the NY 1851 crystal palace and the 'handiwork' movement in america, as well as how emerson/thoreau/pugin/aj downing all relate to each other in their notions of individualism and consumerism as essentially similar and natural affects of the american ideology. i feel like we've been talking about 1850s NY for five weeks now, but this particular class was actually very interesting. we saw some slides of 1860s NY 'county houses' and a henry cole painting where he painted one of these weekend houses as a 'frontier home,' made of logs and inhabited by a lumberjack and his wife/kids.
i went to cross county, though the walk was so cold, because i had to change my PIN number for my bank of america account. luckily that was easy and the guy was very nice. i bought a pair of new leggings for the ski trip and a pair of flipflops for the spring break trip. geez i sound like a real jet setter here.
then last night was great - jarett's play 'the big funk,' opened, and let me tell you, it was FANTASTIC. if i wasnt going away this afternoon i'd see it again. i'd also encourage all people to read the play. i HATE theatre - and this thing really resonated with me. i think it's because it's similar in many ways to don delillo's white noise, in the sense that the focus of much of the dialogue is indirectly the state of our society in america and the deep fear of dying that many americans have. that sounds heavy, but it was also HILARIOUS. there were only four characters, jarett, starsha, owen, and a girl i didn't know. i guess the play is referred to as 'surrealist,' in the sense that some crazy shit happens - this girl gets slathered in vaseline and then gets bathed on stage, owen had to be completely naked for his last scene, etc.etc., but really it's sort of poetic realism. but the last scene was intense. they're all eating dinner and owen leaves, and then he comes back NAKED. i mean i was prepared for this - ive heard him talking a lot about whether he should try to uh, 'enhance' his performance before walking out onstage, but man, nothing can compare to seeing the real thing just inches away from the front row's face. mind you, the play was in downstage, so there aren't set seats, it's just a little black box with folding chairs. so i felt okay about seeing this guy naked, no big deal, but it was when he put his robes ON that i felt super embarassed - something about seeing him right AFTERwards was the most nervewracking part. mostly because he takes a china teacup and is supposed to be drinking from it, and his hands were shaking so hard it sounded like an alarm bell. oh god i couldnt even watch when this was happening. but it was really a fantastic play, and for someone like me to say that, i mean it really has to be amazing. plus, jarett is seriously a comedic/thearical genius. i have no doubt hes going to go very far with this. he had everyone in the audience hanging on his every facial expression. i felt very proud of him..
so then we headed out to the malthouse, it being thursday night, and tipped back a few long island iced teas. and a beer. played some darts - im actually pretty damn good at darts! the great thing about the bar last night was apparently they recently got busted for serving underage kids - so last night there were NO asshole freshman filling up the place. we could even sit down. it was great. i talked to this norweigan girl again, and we did a SKOAL. it was like being back in DK. so funny.
this morning i woke up so painfully - i had only gotten to bed at about four. now here i am in the lab - waiting until two when someone is going to come and take my last two hours so i can go get ready for the ski trip, for which we leave at four. im pretty excited about it - were staying at this civil war-era bed and breakfast and skiing saturday and sunday from 9-4. granted, i was nervous cuz both jiddy AND katie cancelled on me, but at the orientation meeting i met a few really cool people and me and this girl estelle agreed to room together - she seems so awesome. im excited. also, mom told me that upstate NY just got like 100 inches of snow, so maybe its heading for the catskills? im pretty foggy on NY geography to be honest. but i can hope. right now theres a 23' base - hah, imagine just a month ago i was skiing in four feet of powder! ah, like i care. i grew up skiing the anthills of the east and for that i am grateful. as i told the group at the meeting, if you grew up skiing on ice (in the east), you've got one thing going for you: you're not afraid of anything. you just go with it. of course there are a bunch of westerners on the trip who were getting their panties in a twist over the lack of base. dorks.
im panicking, because im nowhere near done with our pondfield model. but fuck it. im a second term senior. everyones just gonna have to deal with possibly not having a fly through. IM GOING SKIING

nassau
well, it's official - our pondield road exhibition opens on tuesday:
im actually pretty nervous, because the ski trip is this weekend so that's three days of work-time lost. i have to finish our poster and a fly-through animation of our 3D model. yikes. yikes especially because i'm only just learning how to animate in maya. oh shit.
plus, i have to re-do most of the model since i built it in october when i didn't really know how to model in maya. plus, the scale of the buildings is totally off. plus i need to go into bronxville and take pictures of all the storefronts so we can texture them to be realistic. plus i have to find a way to get 'poser,' a software that makes prefabricated scale model people to put into 3d models. no idea where ill find it.
i'm so unmotivated right now. it's like the scarier this deadline becomes, the less i want to work on it. not good.
in other news, i can't wait to go skiing!!!

strange days
what an eventful two days!
it all began on friday, when we decided to party in my room for a change. it was GREAT! we had so much fun. katie had bought a gigantic bottle of svedka and in true soph yr fashion, we mixed with either sprite, cranberry or orange juice. we listened to:
young love - find a new way
the knife - we share our mother's health
test-icicles - circle square triangle
annie - heartbeat
basement jaxx - good luck
and i put up new lights in my room so it looked great. after a while, we had to go over to the SLC lampoon party, in slonim 8, unfortch - but it was funny too. they said they needed my ipod, and to play some 80s, hahaha, so i did. this other person came over with a nano and put on babyface or something...everyone stopped dancing and was like, hey put the music back on. so i put my music back on and i think they got mad. not sure though. it was kinda fun, i felt bad for the weirdness. but it was okay. the embarassment peak level was reached when i poured a 22oz miller light all over myself by accident. i actually had to walk away from the conversation i was having with these two guys from nyu or somehwere. there was just nothing to say that could make it better. the lampoon crowd is pretty much hipsters. though amy and jarett are in charge and they're not, so who am i to judge? but it was a kind of funny party:
justin got sick and had to leave. when this kid julian was sitting in my lap and i couldn't see anyone i knew around me, i knew it was time to round up the group and get out. we went back to my room and danced. this guy ross was there, who's in lampoon, and we have this running joke - we don't know each other, but when we were introduced, he said "oh yah, we made out at the coming out dance freshman yr," which is a hilarious thing to say because for most people at slc, there's a real and tangible possibility that anyone to whom they're introduced to will say these words ( and be serious). so most of the time in my room was spent listening ross make up grosser, weirder things we 'did' at the coming out dance, while amy and jarett rolled around on the disgusting floor laughing. come on, i don't even know that guy. i was laughing so hard though, i felt sick. peoplg were rioting for taco bell, but clearly no one could drive. so we went to the pub. i don't know how. amy bought me a piece of pizza, because i couldn't find my card.
we said goodnight.
then saturday got weirder.
justin and i had to go into the city to see claudia's opening at PS 122, and so that was great. she's a genius. i hope she doesn't leave next yr, joe will be heartbroken i think..she's important. laura needed her nipple rings changed, and since looking at nipples makes justin sick, i was the only one left to sit in the room with her while the guy did it. he kept talking about when his nipple ring got ripped out while he was getting a tattoo. they made us wait because we were so vanilla, i think. but then we went over to broadway to go to UNIQLO, which BLOWS!!! it's this huge store, and everything is weird beige colors and really poorly made. very boring. they call it 'the japanese gap,' but it seemed more like the american gap, but taken DOWN three notches.
it was a great looking store though:
it was full of 20something urbanites looking lost. really dissapointing!
so laura and i went next door to h&m while we waited for justin and hunter at uniqlo. i got some loot. then we went over to justin's friend's new apartment, which was ON st. mark's place, wtf??? her dad bought this place for her, it was beautiful - awesome kitchen with rusted metal plate floors and then beautiful light wood for the rest of the floors, and a huge window looking out, not even on another wall. damn. right over the chipotle on that street. i can't imagine living on st. mark's. 'the times square of commodified boho culture' or whatever. the place reminds me of highschool.
it was such a weird few hours. we watched RIZE (the david lachapelle doc about krumping) and ordered in from moustache, this awesome middle eastern place. i had falafel and a spinache/cheese/filo dough role. oh god it was great. so then i started to freak out, so we left to get some green tea frozen yoghurt from the automat next door, but it was tooo full of people. so we went to the grocery store underneath her apt. it was so weird, god. we got back on the train. i had to immediately go to sleep when i got home and when i woke up this morning i was STILL freaking out.
its so cold here!

ugh what a morning. i slept in until i had to hurry to get to my lab monitor shift, where i am right now. plus, i have to go to this dumb mandatory training meeting at 1.30 and i can't find anyone to cover that hour of my shift. goddamnit. now what am i supposed to do?
on the other hand, fashionista.com continues to wow me. they posted on how to make the new louis vuitton spring necklace for like 10 dollars here,
so awesome. plus the proenza schouler line for target came out yesterday and i need to get some of that. i'm sure it will be like viktor and rolf for h&m though, gone to hoards of legginged maniacs within two hours.
katie and i played squash again last night, we played great. we're already making quick headway towards winning the championship end-all tournament on the 20th. actually the last time i checked it was just a tournament, but END ALL CHAMPIONSHIP sounds better. we're going to play again tonight before our soph-fest.
i walked over to academic computing to get the WACOM tablet to use, but when i got back i realized they hadn't given me the pen. WTF!!!!!!!!! also, during the first two hours of this shift forte's "archi/texts" first year studies class is going on... it's so nice to walk by outside and hear that class going on. i miss it so much. i still think i learned more in that first year studies than in all my other classes combined. it's the basis on which i do everything else now. i want to just stand outside and listen to it, but i'm worried joe or one of the freshman will walk outside and see me crouched down outside with an ipod recorder. it'd be embarassing for me.
today i'm wearing some tights, which i haven't worn in a while, but honestly my pants need to be washed. i felt kind of lame, but then i looked around and saw a rainbow spectrum of tight colors prancing all around me across campus. sarah lawrence, always a bastion of diversity and self expression. in fact now my gray tights feel a little matronly. maybe someone could lend me some tye-dye.
i talked to my parents last night - they were up at the bar at the top floor of the hilton anatole in dallas, where they were having a drink with anne because it was her birthday, and jim was out of town....when we went there for mom and dad's anniversary this summer, it was really good. i had roasted antelope with carmelized bananas and peanut sauce, and the best amuse bouche (hahahah that ones for you annicka) - it was like, some type of brie with crystalized apricot and carmelized onions. delish. also where i accidentally said "the texas book suppository" rather than "depository." the anatole (i forget the name of the actual restaurant - nana?) is one of those places where every time you get up to go to the bathroom, etc.etc., the guy comes back and re-places your napkin on your lap. kind of irrelvantly snooty, but the greatest views of dallas EVER. you get to watch all the planes coming down to love field airport (only a few miles from our house). i really began to love dallas this summer when my parents left me alone in the townhouse for a few days - i'd sit out on their 3rd floor balcony and watch the southwest airplanes come in - one every 3-4 minutes in the early evening. southwest planes are red and blue, they'd look so cool in that kind of texas light - red and orange and blue, with the tops of the trees turning that kind of amber green color and blowing around in the wind. and it was 105 degrees but beautiful. that's when i started thinking, hey, maybe this is a better place than i thought. maybe there's something to be said for living somewhere beautiful?

silent shout
just got back from health services. today was a weird day. it's not over yet. i had forte's class. we talked about new york, about the crystal palace, and about the relationship that emerson and carlyle had (and how it relates to consumerism in america). very interesting things, but i wish we had looked at more slides. more and more, our course is less about architecture and more about cultural philosophy. which i enjoy, but am less motivated to work for.
i went to lunch with justin and jiddy - jiddy was about to get a ride with forte into the city, she was going to the last day of this thai cowboy movie at film forum.
we have so much work coming up in the next two weeks - our pondfield road exhibition hangs on the 12th, claudia wants me to hang up my presentation from tuesday next week, i have to begin my marshall field conference project, group for design is apparently kicking into high gear, and i'm trying to organize a mult-disciplinary panel in the VAC theatre on the future of marshall field. i thought of that in the shower last night - it'd be great to have forte, an administrator, and chet biscardi (the music dept. head) up there having it out about the future of that whole site. i'm interested now. i'm gonna go buy an iTalk ipod recorder so i can start doing interviews with the faculty and music kids. also the archs. the biggest dilemma for me is the fantastic interior spaces in the existing building, and the problematic that would arise from either tearing them down or adding on, or recreating them. it's hard to know what the right thing to do is in this case.
last night was great, katie and i went to the gym and played squash for an hour, and then worked out. squash was awesome. there's a tournament on the 20th that we're joking about entering. today my wrist hurts from the POWER i was bringing from the game last night.
today is an important date in two ways for me: my ut austin application was officially due today, and one year ago today i arrived in berlin. how can that be?

today is an important date in two ways for me: my ut austin application was officially due today, and one year ago today i arrived in berlin. how can that be?
