Of architecture's many aspects of crappiness, people always hit down on math: "Oh, I was going to be an architect, but I didn't want to do all the math." This is nonsense. Really, the only important thing, it seems, is to have a great love of sunrises.
I like sunrises.

I often feel that my rigid upbringing translates a hell of a lot to my liberal, completely secular outlook:
My friend and I were talking about a mutual acquaintance who has a terrible boyfriend. Terrible in that he is rude to her, a jackass to the world, and also a terrifically uninteresting person (neither particularly intelligent nor passionate about anything). Our name for him is...

My sleep cycle needs serious help: I woke up today as the sun was going down, and now I will be doing work until class tomorrow morning.

Ugh- reading back on this, it is so dense and BORING. I still think it has some lovely ideas, but why why didn't I EDIT?!

Peter Eisenman, probably my least favorite architect, lectured at Columbia this evening.
