magicbeans. nothing if not awkward.

let me start out by saying happy mothers' day to my mom. even though i'm typing this a few days after the fact, and i did call her from a payphone in the beb on the day in question.

---

got about six hours of sleep. ate breakfast (a bagel and an apple). stopped by the risd store. got to the studio at noon. our drawings were to be collected at midnight. twelve hours.

i finally added trees to my project. which is something i had been fighting myself about since the earliest stages. they are placed a little bit arbitrarily on the site, a hazard of doing things at the last minute. came up with a real nice way of drawing them though.

i was putting graphite on paper right up until midnight. and ended up with a more or less complete set of drawings. i would have liked to do some more work on my site plan. and do some construction details. but the overall scheme was pretty well represented.

when the tas come to collect the drawings, it's something of a custom for them to bring beer. and of course no one's had much sleep or food in the past few days, so two beers a piece and everyone's pretty much drunk.

and people hung out and relaxed an acted silly until one something. and then almost everyone left to go home to bed. i decided that i really needed to start work on my models.

there were four or five people who stuck around the studio. i was there until about three. made a cool little tree at 1"=40'.
