Thistles, Thorns and Thumbs

I've been hanging out a lot lately with this season by the name of Fall. She is very nice to me. She is very colorful and bright. She is around here somewhere today. She makes me want to leave school and go home and spend the day in my basement writing songs and drinking coffee. Making mini-albums about silly things like birds that fly with wilted wings and die of broken things, like hearts.

Instead I'll sit and draw sketches of pictures of photographs of buildings that do not exist. This one cup of coffee will continue to not be enough. I will also sit and think about the apple, crackers and pbj sandwhich i brought with me to work today for dinner. Because I am already hungry.

Tomorrow there is an ArchiLecture here at school. The speaker is Syd Mead, the guy who designed the buildings, sets and worlds of Blade Runner, Aliens and Tron. I would be lying if I said I wasn't excited to hear what someone like that has to say. I am tempted to sneak in a flask of whiskey which to sip and relax with. Instead I will sneak in hot coffee and a donut.

Before kids came kid-dinosaurs who shopped in diamond candy
stores. Their mothers went berzerk.
