Sometimes, living in Tel Aviv was terrible. But, as someone articulated before me, when I'm not there I miss it so much my stomach hurts.

Hello, Dear Reader,


My final review is in three days, so I'm not going to do this post justice, but...


Its almost sundown in New York, on the eve of Yom HaZekaron, Israel's Memorial Day, the day before Independence Day. The first time I went to Israel I kept a sketchbook / journal / diary of my time there. I have perhaps ten pages in...

I have no idea why this day is so important to me. I'm not an aviator. I'm not an astronaut. I'm not even a scientist. The mission, if not for it's failure, would hardly have been noteworthy in the annals of Human Spaceflight. There were some firsts, but none of them astounding. There was no great race. Challenger was not going anywhere we had not...

Happy Sunday, Dear Reader,

I need a few minutes off from this midterm I'm working on, so I thought I would give you the what-for. The project I'm working on is the first in a series of iterations with the eventual goal of creating a museum to house and showcase artifacts and artwork from one of the shaker communities forty-five minutes up the road. This...

Hello, Dear Reader. Its been much too long.

At the moment I am sitting in studio waiting for the prof to come by and desk crit me. I haven't been super happy with any of the work I have produced this semester, and I'm not sure why. I need to kick it up a notch, I guess. I think I need to do one kick...

I am sitting in studio waiting for glue to dry, so I'm going to give you a quick update on me, Dear Reader. Today is the second to last day of my second summer semester, and oh man, has it been intense. When I was warned about the rigors of architecture school, no one over sold it. The ethos is: Done it once? Do it...

I've only got a few minutes again (since I put off blogging during my week off), but I can give you some. Finished my first accelerated summer semester at RPI, and goddamn was that intense. The stuff we're doing is really interesting and I'm enjoying it a ton, but people were not kidding when they said I'd be living in studio. Its kinda sweet though,...

I'm not blogging, because I have shit to finish because no matter how much time I spend in studio (0900-0330 yesterday, only slightly above average) I can't get my shit finished, but... Doctor's front page set is AMAZING. In Love. For Reals.

Peace Out, Dear Reader.

So on my second day back in the States I was confronted with another tragedy. The Albany River Rats are moving to North Carolina. I cannot accurately convey what a steaming pile of cockshit this is. I love hockey. I have followed the sport for years (even when its been terrible to watch the Isles lose). The reason I got into hockey is because of...

Today is Yom Ha'atzmaut, Israel's Independence Day. Over the past eight months, I have dealt again and again with the incredible balagan that is Israel, and the headaches that go with living here. And my love for the Land has done nothing but grow. This land is the beating heart of a people very close to my own (heart). I have seen it a hundred...
