I Need A Body Guard

Out of a TV Show

Date : July 23, 2014

Sometimes it feels like my life in NYC is something out of a TV show. It’s “Law & Order” without the behind the scene editing, the days are a lot longer. It’s “Sex and the City” without the...

Welcome to New York City, “Babe”

Date : June 30, 2014

The City took me in with her open arms. Indeed she did, I am completely swallowed up by the city. Within the first year I arrived, I even got swoop into her judicial system. Life in the BIG...

Silver Lining

Date : June 28, 2014

I lost 6.5 pounds in less than 10 days. I haven’t been able to eat, mostly maybe just the heat. I have been having soups for every meal; it’s the easiest to get the food down into my...

Kara Walker

Date : June 27, 2014

Went with my boss and colleagues to see Kara Walker in Brooklyn on Friday evening. It was a very well done piece. It was site specific and the political message was strong and clear. [easyrotator]erc_68_1403986833[/easyrotator]

One Whole Pound of Salmon

Date : June 24, 2014

I gorged on 1.15 lbs of salmon last night. I haven’t been eating for days, but I really wanted fish last night, so I when to Whole Foods and bought salmon. I had that for dinner and nothing...

Untitled

Date : June 23, 2014

It has been a strange week. My state of mind was completely different from one day to the next. Shocked. Sad. Indifferent. Depressed. Longing. Pain. Dulled. And sometimes, a handful of those feelings all in one day. And...

25 Again

Date : June 14, 2014

Blogging about Blogging

Date : February 9, 2014

It is very hard to keep a blog, I found. I might be over thinking this, and restricting myself to only post something “interesting.” I have gotten really into WeChat these days, it is popular in Asia, and...

The Classics

Saw these two houses in person the first time last week. Richard Meier house and Charles Gwathmey house. Location: East Hampton

The Most Ubiquitous Handbag

Date : October 18, 2013

Every woman in New York seems to have this bag or one that looks like it. Everyday I see a handful of woman carrying this on the train. Black is the most popular color, but I have also...

Reading Literary Fiction

Date : October 5, 2013

This is so true. I can testify to that, and I am not saying I can read people or I am any particularly better at reading people, but I have to say I learned the MOST from reading...

The New American Dream

Date : September 17, 2013

Something to ponder… Something to remember when architects try to make proposals for the next utopian home, it is not what they think it is, or what worked (or seemed possible) before wouldn’t apply to the current socioeconomic...

Weekend Fiskesuppe

Date : September 8, 2013

D and I have this obsession to perfect a Dominican fish soup that we like. We could get the soup from a nearby take-out place, but ordering out gets expensive after a while, and we never quite get...

I Have A Slider!

Date : September 6, 2013

It seems like every website/webpage has a slider these days, so I also jumped on the bandwagon. [grin] It is an option for a nice simple intro page. And the Home Page is the most difficult to design…or...

3D Printed Architectural Structure…hmm…

Date : August 29, 2013

This was in the AISA Cross Sections email newsletter today, “World’s First 3D Printed Architectural Structure.” Here’s what I think. I am not blown away by it, yet I don’t dislike it. It looks fun to make, and...

Architects and Architecture

Date : August 22, 2013

These are not my original posts, I just found them on this architect’s blog. The posts are amusing, and I think he is mostly right. He happens to be a UT SoA grad, so maybe I am a...

I jumped, and let the world catch me.

On The Move…again

Date : July 1, 2013

Yay, successfully installed WordPress and started my new website, and, with a new hosting company! This is my last month in Austin. My main agenda is to pack and move. Another cross country move. *Deep breath* I can...
