Mies Van de Rohe (the cat) is saying, "I love you Macbook Pro!" i do the same thing with mine at home.

My coworkers and i probably spend too much time taking pictures of the cats, but they do such weird things. and the catfights (literally) are too much fun to break up.

Mies loves to lick plastic, scratch his face up against super sharp edges, and lay right on the middle of the drawings you're looking at, especially during a client meeting.

The other cat is Marcel Breuer, who is deaf. He likes to cry these horrendous moaning noises when he is bored, hungry, can't find someone, or just ate. He also enjoys clamping his fangs into the back of Mies's neck, posing with his front paws crossed, and sitting in your lap.

somehow we get some architecture done as well.

H. bday to me, H. bday to me, H. bday to me-e, H. bday to me!

another year has gone by. that's about all i have to say about it.

did you hear that i moved? i am finally living on my own for the first time. new neighborhood, new grocery stores and restaurants, new borough, new subway. i am excited for the change even though things were great before and didn't need to change and didn't necessarily get better. does that make sense? i loved my old apartment and neighborhood, but now there is the excitement that comes with a new experience and all the promise that it brings.

i am extremely grateful to my friends that helped me with the big move. thank you for helping me pack up the kitchen, for lending me a van, for carrying everything i own out of one place and into the next, for riding in the back of the van, for filling my cupboards and hanging my shower curtain, for munchkins and cold water, and for a bookcase to swallow all my books. i could not have managed without your help.

here is a picture of the subway station i use on my way home from work. an artist used the standard fluorescent tube lighting fixtures found in every station in the system but arranged them in a new and exciting way. so now i get to enjoy that on my daily commute.
