Surely I'm only listening to Philip Glass for lack of sleep.
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 think I am slowly regaining an appreciation for the experience of the city- but only at odd moments, in little random bits. The moment I start thinking about "the city" it all goes to shit. But I had a lovely Saturday accompanying my friend to the museum so he could look at a Greek funerary stele and then trekking all the way down to St. Mark's just to buy a specific beer I knew they had there.
But that was just the Metropolitan and St. Mark's, not "the city." As for it, I want to be on the sort of terms with "the city" as certain people I know are with bars. They walk in and get an entire night's worth of drinks comped; if New York in general did that for me, I would be prepared to reconsider my terms.
I often have dreams about Tokyo in the early eighties, and those are the terms there. They serve me a lot of TAB. The soft drink- everywhere and free of charge. I think that has to be from some movie, but it is a recurring dream of mine. Poured concrete, early street television screens, and TAB.
Got bored and uploaded images yesterday when I should have been doing Environmental Law work.

And apart from Chopin, no music does more for me than Philip Glass... particularly the Metamorphosis series.
