i am reading an amazing book, Poetics of Space by Bachelard. it's an amazing text about the home and location, especially everyday space. i've been a little resistant to phenomenology and critical theory, except for a few notable exceptions (merleau-ponty and blanchot) but this is a warm, lovely philosophy of experience and architechture. nice for these times.

about these times: my moods are stabilizing. i'm making it, slowly.

Sounds extremely cool. Checking it out immediately. Heard of The Art of Travel, or Status Anxiety, by Alain Botton? You might like them.

Someone else just recommended his Psychoanalysis of Fire to me, I guess because of all my forest fire paintings lately. Have you read it?

yeah, that Poetics of Space thing sounds killer. I'm ordering it immediately. That Art of Travel thing is similar in that it goes deeply into a subject that most people take for granted. A very easy read, too. I take it with me on trips, embarassingly enough.

Yeah, what's that? I just finished a book that could be described as being about water & dreams, but i'm sure it couldn't be the same book. surreal

Hey, I have a random question- Do you know of any other pastelists that appeal to you? I've been looking & looking, everyone's just rehashing impressionism endlessly. Just thought you might know of someone.

geometry? i could hardly speak after it. if we were meant to speak more than we listen, we'd have two mouths and one ear. wink as introverted as i am, i still had a lot of making-up to do.

smile ? ?

Feel free to pass any other thoughts you had about it to me, i'm always curious.

Hey smile I'm doing alright. Ready to move out of the city, that's for sure, but that's a long ways off. At least we finished building the treehouse! Basically just in limbo, struggling with the dizzyingly loud construction across the street, so I haven't been able to play music, & it belches out this haze that gives me migraines. Aside from that, I've just been feeling reclusive, & as foggy as the air here.
How about you?

I arrived!!!

By the way, a passage by Bachelard made me decide for life when I went from my "first life" to my "second one" (I am entering the "third" now): Everything that is round gets enclosed in itself (in my free translation.) wink

P.S. A book that goes over some of those issues is Evaldo Bezerra Coutinho's O Espaço da Arquitetura (unfortunately, I do not think it is translated.)

I hope things start looking up for you, soon. But working on a movie? Besides the inevitable problems, that's exciting. What's the presmise? Hm, you know.. I think planning big things is almost always lonely work. But hopefully rewarding.

And hey, a real profile picture! Neat-- what's that coming out of your head? robot robot robot
