I've been slacking.I have not posted a new entry in seven days; an ENTIRE WEEK! Wow. I really have been slacking.
Sorry, TyTy.
Though I should get some credit because there hasn't really been a lot of excitement in studio. AND I've been quite busy with other classes, thank you Arch History (our first exam is on Thursday).
In any case, without any fun and unique-to-studio stories, I will fill in about our next project.
We're starting programming on Monday, though I have yet to figure out what the final project for this will be. We were informed that, during the week, we would have to take trips to certain grocery stores and markets in the area: Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Fresh Market, West Side Market, West Point Market, and a few others that I can't recall. As he introduced the assignment Stauffer rattled off various restaurants, grocery stores, and markets where the experience and atmosphere of the space sounded more important than the food served. His enthusiasm sparked a strange curiosity in everyone's face; we yearned to walk down an aisle, stocked with foreign, fresh, and savory foodstuff, in Whole Foods. It is rather surreal to watch someone, like Stauffer, who comes off as professional and serious, mentally melt with a cozy sigh at the thought of the specific food experience one gets in a Trader Joe's. Passion is an interesting thing; one that can only be observed in the most fragile situations, however I believe that passions expose such fragile moments. Everyone possess an ardor for one thing or another and it is an exhilarating scene when that infatuation pulses through a group of people who are allowed in to experience a bit of a person's passion.
I guess what I'm trying to say, in a round about way, is that I am looking forward to the upcoming food experience field trip. Hopefully it lives up to Stauffer's rave review of the list of grocery stores and markets.
