rainy day in the 'burbs

So it's raining outside- These instantaneous rainstorms that have been coming through the Syracuse area lately remind me of the south. I miss that place and the people that live there way too damn much.

I've been painting the apartment this afternoon to pass the time. My wife has been of some help of course. We chose not to go to the state fair in the area because it will more than likely suck an awful amount. So this is where we are- listening to some Pat Green and painting drinking some PBR dreaming of being back down south. Some things that remind me of home-

>Shiner Bock
>Heat(100 deg+)
>country music
>chips&salsa
>nice people
>Shiner Bock
>family

alright, so it's pretty obvious that im homesick right now. Lay off me!

welp- enjoy the storm, and ride it out.

RIP: London's First Living Wall Isn't Any More

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! this is awesome. The epitome of the green bullshit saturating the architecture profession at the moment. (love the 'paradise' street sign.)

RIP: London's First Living Wall Isn't Any More: "

Living walls can be complex things, with pumps to supply water and requiring a fair bit of maintenance. They are also relatively new concepts, and there is still a bit of trial and error going on. DSDHA designed this one three years ago with 30 kinds of plants growing through a thirty foot high wall. A rep from the Islington Council is quoted in the Architects Journal:

‘‘The wall was the first of its type to be installed in the UK and, as with anything new, carried a certain element of risk.

US senator 'Ted' Kennedy dies at 77

I hope this means that something will finally get done with the healthcare system in this country. It's a shame that such a good human being is not with us anymore. I'm sure he will see it through from his great view in the heavens.

US senator 'Ted' Kennedy dies at 77: "Brother of former US president John F. Kennedy dies after battle with brain cancer."

MAN YOUR BATTLE STATIONS!!!

These next few weeks I will be preparing myself mentally for the next year of grueling academia. I will start by sleeping in until 9am everyday and avoiding any kind of architecture paraphernalia. I will drink plenty of booze while enjoying a nice camping trip in the Adirondacks this coming weekend. At the very last moment before actual classes start, I will simply reignite my academic discipline with the application of a rudimentary thinking cap.
