laser cuttin again
ive been here all night. it's now 6:40am. i don't know how this happened. the fucking laser cutter's acting up of course. the penweights arent lining up. i'm hoping they will this time or i will be, like, pisssssed. i should also cut my topos tonight/this morning before the laser cutters are all taken. there isn't a single slot open between now and my review, but somehow i manage to get sime time. i need to finish this model asap so that i can do lots and lots of drawings.
anyways, there's very little to report from me, seeing that i dont really do anything. but today i did take a long walk down to central square...i needed to buy some model supplies. it was soso hot! i couldn't believe it. there are lots of crazy people in central square. it's so much more a city than harvard square is. although there are tons of bums in harvard square. it's like palmer square x3 +15panhandlers. vince brought lupe to school around 7pm after he had gotten home from work. the three of us went to harvard square for dinner...well, i didn't eat seeing that i had just eaten breakfast/lunch at 6pm. and i've been here ever since.
i don't konw when i'll go home. i'll put this part of the model togehter, and at least get started on the topos. it's only going to get harder and harder to get laser cutter time! eek. i wish i had my own. too bad they're about $30,000. maybe i'll go to starbucks and try to convince myself that i'm starting a new day.
it's cold again in studio! it got really cold overnight. good thing i didn't go home seeing that i only brought a short-sleeved shirt with me today.
these are really mundane thoughts. many more, interesting things go through my head, but somehow, when i sit down to write, these are all i come up with.
for instance, today while walking to central square in the heat, i thought a lot about rome and how much i used to walk in the heat there. i remember this one day i was walking around the santa maria maggiore neighborhood looking for a job i think. and it was sooooo hot. i kept crossing the street so as to stay in the shade. before that, i never would have thought that i would do something so goofy because if it's hot enough on one side of the street, it's going to be just as hot on the other. but it turns out that i was wrong: the sun in rome is very strong in july and it makes a big difference. i was thiniking that today as i walked down mass ave and considered crossing the street to be in the shade. then i thought of this one day when i worked a full day at the vatican, giving a tour all day, on my feet in heels from 9am to 5pm. then i decided to walk from the vatican all the way over to via urbana, which is past the coloseum. totally on the other side of rome. but i was happy to keep walking. then i got there and had a beer and got lots of money in a white envelope. i used to make a lot of money there. like $500/week. and i was only paying $375 / month in rent. i wonder what all those people are doing now...paulo, chris, maria, bob, natalie, kellie, daniele, andrea, nova, wippul, cari, william, diana, the gladiators (marcello & david). then there are so many whose names i don't remember. one of these days i WILL run into one of them, and it will be great. i just hope it's not nova. he was a real freak.
i also thought a lot today about hezi's and my days of modest mouse mania. it all seems so unreal. and i always imagine the people we knew around that time to be the same age as they were then, but i know that's not true.
i'm going to philly in a few weeks for dom's graduation. he's going to grand cayman for a week to stay at his friend's house there. i wish i could go...
vince and i are planning on going to cuba this summer though! i can't wait to travel somewhere...
why won't you finish, laser cutter, why????
