mañana...

.
.
.
you,
with your moonshine eyes
and your envious mouth
that doesn't give, that doesn't give,
that doesn't give at all.
you, with your lover
and friend the wind
that ruffles your hair
and reveals all your dreams.
twisted, rebellious, crazy,
in love with yesterday
and tomorrow and with the desire
of what i want to be,
and tomorrow,
if there is a tomorrow,
i will be...

as promised

heat

the heat and the recession have me down. posting will resume shortly.

springfresh

cleaning up a little. will be done soon.

feeling so unarchitectural lately

ok, guess i owe my apx. ten readers an apology. first of all, for being such an apparently lazy arschloch, second of all, for posting just random clips that mostly have nothing to do with architecture.

i haven't posted much cause i'm crazy flooded with proofs and translations for a deadline i have to meet sometime this week. i haven't posted much on architecture because i'm having problems figuring out why exactly i like architecture or what i may find interesting or relevant about architecture with all this state of unrest of the past few weeks.

dear anónimo from the post below and whoever else takes time to read this: i promise i will do my best to keep this blog going. even if it calls for a menudo-style revival.

catchup

apologize for deadtime. i'm pretty much done with masters work, so posting will be up-n-running again with usual frequency next week. i'll start with a generous sneakpeek of my AQUÍ project, an ongoing research on gentrification, failure and popculture in downton mexico city. phase A of the research is done. phase B might well have an online ramification. my borderlandia paper is due for mid july, so in august the english translation of my tidbits will begin appearing on the blog. thank you for your patience.

i leave you with an opening quote for AQUÍ:

"camp doen’t reverse things. it doesn’t argue that the good is bad, or the bad is good. what it does is to offer a different -a supplementary- set of standards … (camp is) the sensibility of failed seriousness, of the theatricalization of experience… the whole point of camp is to dethrone the serious."
