ev'ryone gather round

now three weeks into my job i can say i'm happy to have finally joined the ranks of the educated/employed. James La Rue and his architects are a strange group of people that create neighborhoodfuls of big houses, many of the big houses that i could care less for and on another level want to see an end to.

so why, marc, are you helping such creations come about through the art of detailing broom closets? well there's money. i'm tired of living off my parents and their endowing of a little trip to Italy was very generous so this is a way to say thanks. secondly, i'm actually getting experience that could help me get cooler jobs along the way that i feel passionate about.

then there are times when i wonder if maybe Jim and his houses aren't the end of our architectural world as we know it. i appreciate his layed back attitude, his care for details, and that he is obviously passionate about his work. so maybe i've got something to learn from him and all his arcaded porches, and maybe i'm just holding my breath until i get a raise.

did i ever mention i might want to move to oregon?
