Angel of the Waters

New York seems, to me, to differ from other major world cities in the recyclability (is that even a word?) of its symbols — especially its architecture and public art. To get what I mean, consider the Louvre by contrast. You experience it as an art museum, and yet if you’ve given your tour book even a glance you’ll realize that it was once a royal palace. That history is somehow preserved, Revolution be damned: the new uses attached to the building don’t really aim to erase old meanings. New

Portland: ‘The Crane Wife, Pt. 1-3' or ‘The River’
posted on Sun, 11 May 2008 21:43:57 -0700
As we recall from last time, Portland is yuppie-glorious, in a sense. Thick in vegetation, hippies, hybrids, and organic half-caff, low-fat chile and pastries, it’s a greener version of Denver and a more liberal version of Dallas. West of the river, that’s certainly true. Pioneer Square, the waterfront, and the Five Colleges are all bastions of granola-laden, Volvo hugging liberalism. And ill-groomed dreadlocks, excessive nose rings, etc. It’s where our base is here. For anyone who’s not been

Reservoir Dogs

On my flight back from San Francisco, we flew over the Quabbin Reservoir on the approach into Boston. The sun had just risen and it gave the reservoir a really eerie look. The view of it on Google Maps doesn't really do it justice. It made me think about reservoirs, and led me to conclude, correctly, that the Quabbin and Scituate Reservoirs are the largest inland bodies of water in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, respectively. I thought it was strange that I couldn't name a reservoir in any othe

To watch or to read that is the question
posted on Sun, 11 May 2008 17:06:59 -0700
I often hear people complaining about how a book is interpreted in a motion picture. Ate Joan's friend (Damang is her name), prefers reading the Harry Potter book series than watching them on dvd and she doesn't even care to take a glimpse with the astounding queue of moviegoers craving to watch Harry and his wicked friends. Though I only read Rowling's Half-blood Prince and Deathly Hallows and the Harry Potter 6 is not yet out, I am somehow convinced with Damang's sentiments and Ate Joan's cla
US Streets

This is an interesting view of the United States: - found on Ben Fry's website, http://benfry.com/allstreets/index.html The author compiled all local roads, and visual patterns of density and human use rapidly emerge. Here, a mix of physical barriers (such as valleys within the Appalachians) can be seen along with major corridors of development. There are still some blocks within some states which are not fully populated (shown as generally-rectangular, lighter-density areas in some of the m

Productivity

I've had a very productive day today, which is a rareity I can tell you! Actually managed to get all the revision I had planned done. My next exams are on the 19th (Environmental Pollution) and the 20th (Hazards), me being me (and spending all my time revising for Models which was supposed to be hard but ended up being ridiculously easy) I now only have a week to revise so three days for Hazards and three for Pollution. Aside from the revision I've booked my travel insurance for the US/Canada
