when linda talks about rain, she means it. i dont know if new york is as bad as connecticut, but here, it rained for nine days straight. and i dont mean it was overcast for nine days. i mean it poured for nine days without a drop of sun. whenever it rains for two or three days in a row, the graphic design building's roof leaks. all over people's computers and books. ive been lucky to be out of the way of the drops. and now the school (which was renovated in 2000) has been wrapped in a big tarp. but friends' apartments have been leaking, and one of my friend's ceiling collapsed over the weekend. this reminds me of my time in dc when my ceiling collapsed. i thought i could link a post here but ive been looking at old posts for 20 minutes and havent found one referencing my ceiling collapse in glover park. i was probably in denial then. then, it had rained several days in dc and i came home to a huge chunk of plaster on my floor and about a 6 x 8′ section missing from my ceiling and splattered about my floor. my landlord repaired it quite quickly but i always wondered if the resulting mold had aided my pneumonia that i got about a month (maybe less?) later.

i had a really sad week this past week. several of my projects are stagnant because i have not come up with ideas for them. when a lack of ideas collides with a lack of sleep, i start feeling very bad. thankfully, the last two nights have allowed some time for sleep.

yesterday, grephic design went to the beach for a day of lounging together. school had provided lunch and the beach club and about four cases of sam adams and heinecken and about ten bottles of red wine and ten white and a fire and the long island sound and professors and their children and four hours to hang out together. it was lovely. the rain finally relented yesterday wtih only an afternoon storm (instead of an all-day downpour), and so the time was nice. there was a lot of laying on the beach and loose discussions of design and the world around us. sometimes i like to get away from all of the design talk that goes on here, but yesterday i spent time appreciating the fact that people know things here and that people talk about them and that probably never again in my life will i be surrounded by so many people who love what i love. it gets overwhelming, but that should be a good thing.

ive wasted enough of my morning. i have to begin working.
