Elizabeth Diller

She is an amazing person, who, like all genius is able to tell her story with such simplicity. She started her lecture explaining that it was going to be mostly theraputic, and less polemic.. I love that. I think I want my interaction with people to be more like that. I want to bring comfort and joy to people through the things that I love to do.

When I went to go see Rem Koolhas, I was turned off by him from the second he opened his mouth. Everything that he said was very complicated, and nobody was really able to understand him except for a selected few. I am thinking back at everyone in the audience who probably felt as stupid as I did, but just sat quietly and marveled at the ugly images that he cast in the projection. It's true, I don't care so much what the presenter say, as long as the images are beautiful.... We are an ocular centered society, after all. If Rem Koolhas was a student of mine: if I was his teacher (ha!), I would probably tell him to cut it out!

I am trying to figure Liz Diller out. She comes across like a simple farmer girl. And maybe that's really all that she is. She is very logical and non-emotional. She is very stable. She doesn't budge, and just follow suit with what she likes, and her pleasure in architecture comes through. She is very humble, and there wasn't a spec of ego that came through. She had accomplished quite a lot, but her attention was very much about the enjoyment of doing, more so than being proud of her accomplishments. She's sexy, well, I can only imagine, having sex with her will be a lot of fun.

My boss is also inspirational. I havn't come across people like that in a long time. People who still take enjoyment out of what they do. Finally, I've met a positive architect role model... twice in a row!

This world is making me crazy. But it's also kind of fun. I think what ever happens, I can always enjoy life.... I mean, no body can really take that away. And the rest of the things, the price you pay for mistakes, are put on the tab called growth.

My 30th year resolution... I'm not going to feel sorry for myself anymore.. and also, I'm not going to apologize for myself anymore. I'm 30 and I'm realizing that I'm all alone in the world. I'm also free, again.
