okay i've written about half of my paper. i'm going to try and complete it tonight. i have a lot of work to do for tomorrow. this reading has been tough. at some points of the reading i'll get through reading a paragraph 3 times and realize it was only two sentences long.

For example "But, if the ideally neutral observer is surely a critical fiction, if among the multiplicity of phenomena with which we are surrounded we observe what we wish to observe, if our judgments are inherently selective because the quantity of factual information is finally indigestible, and if any literal usage of a "neutral" grid labours under approximate problems, a myth of the architect as eighteenth -century natural philosopher, with all this little measuring rods, balances, and retorts, as both messiah and scientist, Moses and Newton (a myth which which became all the more ludicrous after its annexation by the archtiect's less well-pedigreed cousin, the planner) must now be brought into proximity with The Savage Mind and with everything which bricolage represents." -from an excerpt of Collin Rowe's and Fred Koetter's Collage City...

so its been tough getting through..interpeting and analysing... i'm kind of glad that i forced myself to chose this piece..while it is complex.. it is even more so profound. i just wish i could grasp it all...

dessy joins me... sleepy head.
