I’ve taken a hiatus to tend to the burning feeling that seems to be eminating from my lungs. Ouch. In the mean time, here a just a few images of the week that was.

As I’m gazing out my window at the grey sky over the IDS building the dread of winter is starting to set in.  Yes. It’s finally here – and – with it comes the nesting urge.  It may be biological or it may be sociological, but my urge to make my living arrangements better is suddenly pronounced.

There is some part of me that still subscribes to the bourgeois fantasy of having a comfortable home with all the material trappings.  I have to take this with a bit of inherent irony, because my apartment is located in a mid-60s, perfectly rectangular modernist block.  To spruce it up a bit:  its Midwestern platenbau – a true rarity in a city of bungalows and brownstones.

That said, I think I’m spending my weekend at IKEA, painting my walls the proper shade of avocado, and getting ready to be indoors for the next couple of months.

I’ll be posting photos of the transformation of my apartment from grungy artist hovel to less grungy artist hovel.
