I'll be here and here on Thursday. Where will you be??

blogs galore...

I've decided to create a blog following the progress of my thesis. If you don't have enough blogs you're following at the moment, here's another one for ya:

autumn

A few days ago, I stopped by the Lyle Center for Regenerative Studies to interview one of the professors for a class project. On my way down, I pulled over to the side of the road to capture this photo. It's kind of nice going to a school with so much greenery...and pumpkins...

recent happenings

I've neglected the blog for a few weeks, felt like I should post an update. In a nutshell: caught up w/old friends who I haven't seen in YEARS @Lamill in Silverlake last week, did some landscaping at the VDL Research House II in Silverlake (quite proud of our work!), stayed up until 4a last night to catch the season finale of Project Runway via mylifetime.com (worth it), and of course, have been making progress on my thesis.

I've decided to create a separate blog for updates on my thesis, separate from this "lifestyle" blog. That way, people can have visual proof of the reason why I haven't been as available since I started grad school, and also give me feedback on my work. My cohorts and I are scheduled to present on January 15th. The countdown begins...

Times like theses, I wish I lived in New York...

After this week's thesis critique, it was made apparent my proposed design schemes seemed a bit stiff. Apparently, my designs were looking less like a childcare center, and more like an internment camp. (no bueno.) In order for me to design more free flowing and fun schemes, I felt I needed to step away from all my stress and relax a little, live a little. ...ok, maybe a lot.

As a first step, I decided to spend my Wed night @the H.Fonda Music Box to watch The Drums. (thx Jaime!)

It helped, a lot. I'm currently in the process of developing 3 schemes for my thesis project that I'm really liking, which is a good sign.

I'll post pictures soon.
