Fall
Fall has progressed to the point of drawing enough attention that people pull to the side of the road to look at trees. The leaves are half gone but winter seems more than half a season away.Saturday in Boston: the five trays of Harvard's GSD, oars in the water, a small park near Harvard Square, little colonial courtyards, train schedules, bubbles.
The palette of fall has siezed the dress and decoration of Providence. I'm sure the bakeries have been serving leaf shaped cookies with rust-colored frosting for weeks now, but sometimes the speed of individuals to rearrange their closets is less significant than capitalism's ability to inch timelines ever forward.
Marks erased, cups on wood, people in seats, places visited, things built.Things to aggravate Eileen Gray (A List by Request): The sound of tea cups on glass, echoing across tile floors; books, mosquito netting, umbrellas left out; Le Modulor; uncontrollable sunlight; modern sensual suicide.
Things on the wall in the architecture building's 1st floor bathroom: "I came, I saw, I cantilevered." "I (heart) Corb."
