Man, I've let this blog go to shit...
But now that my class is over maybe I can resurrect it. My term paper is here for all of those interested in mass production and sense of place.
On to books: I've managed to finish three others in the last few weeks.
Le Corbusier, The Decorative Art of Today
Christian Norberg-Schulz, Towards a Phenomenology of Architecture
Leo Marx, The Machine in the Garden
That brings me to eight for the year. Right now I'm reading Murakami's Underground and The Organization Man. It's doubtful that I'll be taking a class during the spring quarter so I'll finish these two and probably get in to some baby books. I've got some other big plans though, like Gore Vidal and David Foster Wallace (did you read that article about him in the last New Yorker? You should.)
Watchin' movies too. Just saw "Down by Law" and "To Die For."
Listening to the new Animal Collective.
Volunteered at the Seattle Rep the other night and have two tickets to see Harold Pinter's "Betrayal." My volunteering at Seattle Arts and Lectures has been going alright too. I may go see Scott Simon Wednesday night, gratis.

You like biographies sometimes, right? This one sounds like a good one to me -

and while I was looking for those links, I came across something from your Seattle PI I was not aware of ... http://www.vanityfair.com/online/politics/2009/03/it-was-a-good-ride-seattle-pi.html. That's terrible.
These reading plans you speak of - David Foster Wallace - are you going to read "Infinite Jest?" Or have you already?
