the atmosphere shifted today. literally, quite literally. the necks on my basses both bent up weird. the walls of a scale model shrunk. go figure: the space that wall is supposed to go into shrunk too--it's only 29 feet, not 30 like any decent person would expect. really--why would you go to the trouble of designing a gallery and make it 29 feet square, not 30?
the atmosphere is shrinking.
i know the gallery didn't shrink. i measured wrong or didn't measure at all, and just assumed. well, it's hard to make an ass out of a space (although it has been done), so it all falls to me. so much for models, i should have just started working right into the space. i'd be half done by now. instead: a pile of paper, a scale model, empty beer cans, a pencil with many bite marks in it.
but the atmosphere! for a moment it was comparable to a perfect fall day in new york. thank you, atmosphere! keep up the good work, even if i do have to adjust my basses and scale models for warpage.
(the scale model business is for serious. i glued a strip of slide-sized images on transparency to the wall to make it look like pictures were hung or something. next thing i know today and the little strip of plastic is buckling out from the (miniature) wall! i know the plastic is heat and moisture stable, so IT MUST BE THE WALL. but seriously, foamcore is not supposed to do that...~1/8 of an inch over 12 inches of length??? considering how similar the construction of contemporary structures is to foamcore, everyone best watch their walls.)
