Today I was feeling a bit restless
as I worked on my morning Japanese vocabulary torture session. I had architecture
on the mind and was having trouble focusing on my study. After about an hour
of distracted concentration I flipped a coin to see if I could skip further studies
and free myself to explore the ideas that kept interrupting my thoughts. Chance
allowed me to skip. I spent the rest of the morning working on design.
Just before my Japanese language class was supposed to start I flipped the coin again
- I wanted to continue working on design but was having trouble convincing
myself to skip class. The coin came up in my favor again... Playing hooky
today boys! I worked excitedly for a few more hours before hitting a stopping
point.
After a pause I realized
that I had missed lunch and was starving. I grabbed my sketchbook and
headed up the hill. I stopped at the last grocery before the city turns
into forest and picked up a Japanese version of a Euro-lunch... Saltines
(bread), overly processed, think "kraft", cheese (cheese),
a tin of fish (sausage), and sake (wine). I took my plunder
a short way up a trail next to a creek and sat down for lunch. After taking
the edge off my hunger I documented my spread and then I drew a picture
of some worn down houses along the creek below me. |
