Restless

Hello Everyone:

A good day in the blogosphere. I finished and posted a piece on Brutalism and why it should be called Heroic architecture. There is something quite graceful in those heavy block-like structures. Something quite sculptural that even the most die-hard pre-World War II modernist could appreciate. It has texture that lends itself to human contact. I might have to completely rethink my own aversion to Brutalism. Anyway, other than that, I've been in a snappish mood today.  Since the morning I've been taking swipes at mom for the littlest things. I think it's another case of being close quarters all the time.  It's almost like she doesn't leave the house unless she absolutely has to. I try to encourage to go out more but I can only do so much. Fortunately, I have my escapes so I don't have to listen to the constant whining and complaints. Although, she does intrude frequently on my thoughts with her unnecessary editorial comments. Most of the time, I'm not a chatty person. I don't like chatter filling the silences. Thank goodness for EarPods and books. I've also been feeling restless. I think it's because the year is almost over and I'm feeling like it's time for a serious change. In the past it meant going back to school. That's over and done with, for now. Maybe finally a job?  Travel seems in the cards and who knows what else this restlessness will yield. Maybe the Brit BF will finally return to Los Angeles for good?  I guess I'll have to wait and see.
