Architecture nerd alert.
Nov. 17th, 2008 12:18 amHow wrong is it that when I saw a promo for the forthcoming movie Twilight the only thing that went through my mind was, "Hey, they shot at the M1 House by Skylab."

Nov. 17th, 2008 10:10 amStep 1: Put your music player on shuffle.
Step 2: Post a line (unless the first line reveals the song title) from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Strike through the songs when someone guesses the song title correctly.
Step 4: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is cheating!
Step 5: If you like the game, post your own.
(I had to skip a bunch of songs, as they had no lyrics.)
1.I said move over once, move over twice! C'mon baby don't be cold as ice.
2.I'm sittin' in a railway station, got a ticket my destination.
3.Now, when I get back here I expect to find all of you...
4.Whenever I'm with him, something inside starts to burnin' and I'm filled with desire.
5.Past where the river bends, past where the sidewalk ends, past where they paint the houses.
6.She's my fave, undressing in the sun.
7. Bein' alone at night makes me sad, girl.
8. And they wandered in from the city of St. John without a dime.
9. Reviewed, it seemed, as if someone were watching over it.
10. They took the moonlight out of the skies.
11.There's a man in New Orleans who plays Rock and Roll.
12. Life's a nightmare and I can't stand it, since you turned me loose.
13. I was talking when I should have been listening.
14.Watch out, you might get what you're after.
15. Oh you, you walk on past, Your lips cut a smile on your face.
16.Be wise, be smart, behave my heart.
17. Evrywhere I hear the sound of marching, charging feet, boy.
18. There's a storm coming, but there will be no rain.
19. Tonight you're acting strange, I find.
20.The bigger the cushion the sweeter the pushin', that's what I said.

So we had a tour of the maternity hospital scheduled for yesterday. The hospital is about 22 minutes away, according to Google, but since we'd never been there we left for the 3pm appointment at 2:10.
You'd think that'd be enough time. We thought so.
We pulled onto I-5 South and were cruising along at 60mph for a few minutes. Then as soon as we passed the last street exit before a major interchange, traffic screeched to a halt. It slowed down to the point that sixty-five minutes passed before we could get off the highway.
The entire highway was blocked. All three lanes, plus the two lanes feeding in from the interchange, had to feed onto surface streets via a three-way light that in normal conditions is kind of slow. My wife had visions of giving birth there in traffic after the first half hour of gridlock.
The tour, as you might guess, didn't happen.

Nov. 17th, 2008 10:46 pmUnemployment in Oregon is well above the national average. Nobody in architecture is hiring. I am planning a trip through Vancouver, WA, to drop off resumes. Probably moot, but I need to do something.
Dammit.
