late.

i have about a page more to go on the paper. i'm kind of proud of myself for sticking to it. some time around 6pm today i found out that the paper isn't due tomorrow but on thursday. i'm still sticking to my deadline though since i have another paper coming up on thursday as well.

around 9 or so my brother and his friends came by and watched "THE ONE" via my new pc. :) they strung a huge cable from my room to the downstairs tv. i was tempted to watch it but resisted. I did catch a few parts... I'm never too fond of action plots but the visual are always nice. I think the Matrix was the last movie to combine a good script and great action.

I'm using SMLXL by Rem Koolhaas as a jumping point for my paper. On the borders of each page, he has an ongoing vocabulary... for example MEGALOMANIA, MELT, MEMO, MEMORY, MEN, MESS..etc. under each of these words he has some sort of translation of its meaning. The page i'm on has THIRD HAND, THIRSTY, THOUGHTFUL, THROUGH, THRUST, THUMBING



THIRD HAND: vacant spaces belong to it, the vowel O, all blank pages, the number zero, the animals wolf and mole, the hour before birth and the minute after death, the loon, the owl, and all the white flowers. The third hand opens doors, and closes them thoughtfully behind you. It is the other two that busy themselves with what goes on in the room.

THIRSTY: Buying things in America today is just unbelievable. Let's say you're thirsty. Do you want COke, Diet Coke, Tab, Caffeine-Free Coke, Caffeine-Free Diet Coke, Caffiene-Free Tab, New Improved Tab, Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Pepsi Light, Pepsi Free, Root Beer, Royal Crown Cola, C&C Cola, Diety Royal Crown Cola, Caffeine-Free Pepsi, Caffeine-Free Diet Pepsi, Caffeine-Free Royal Crown Cola, Like, Dr. Pepper, Sugar-Free Dr. Pepper, Fresca, Mr. Pibb, Seven-UP, Diet Seven-up, orange, grape, apple, Orelia, Perrier, Poland, Ginger ale, tonic, seltzer, Yoo-hoo, or cream soda?
Do you want pineapple, papaya, guava, peach, coconut, apple, orange, strawberry grape-fruit, pink grapefruit, cherry-apple, apple-strawberry, grape, pina colada, sparkling apple or Juicy Juice? Do you want any of this fresh-squeezed? Do you want one of the fifty varieties of malteds, the twenty kinds of frozen fruit shakes, the fifteen kinds of cofee or thirty kinds of tea?

THROUGH: No, John, I am through with you as a client, a friend, or a man. The very thought of you makes me sick and would prevent me from doing anything fine or worthwhile for you. l want my plans back. All of them. And I don't want any money you have or can ever get.

THRUST: Do not thrust with the mind, Do not thrust with the hands, Let the spear make the thrust ---thrust without thrusting.



okay.. that is far too much procrastinating.. i just wanted to share THIRSTY with you since i found it amusing.
