THIS IS (amazing) CAKETOWN!!


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

An amazing remix of "this is caketown" inspired by the life affirming 300 trailer pg version. Caketown has since become a term widely used in über hip architecture circles to describe the current state of pop architecture, epitomized by buildings of faux/foam detail freakishness smeared with stucco icing that are often featured on New York Shitty and Curbed, among others.

AR(c)TIC in OC?

2009.06.hubam

Design aside, this is one exciting building. HOK's above image for a new regional transit hub in "downtown" Anaheim represents a major step forward for Southern California. Intended to be built by 2013, the building will connect Metrolink, Amtrak, Disney monorail, local transit and high speed rail underneath a vaulted roof inspired by the rail stations of days past. Can this building really be designed for Orange County? (Check out the map below)


View Larger Map

The pedestrian neighborhood this hub will serve is as speculative as pedestrians in Orange County. But who says a parking lot sandwiched between a freeway and a dry drainage ditch today, across the freeway from Angel Stadium and next door to Honda center, can't be the planner's pedestrian paradise of tomorrow? Maybe it's name says it all: ARTIC (Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center). Don't kid yourself, there's no ice in the OC.

BUT, there will be ice in the OC!!

As a not so side note: This hub and it's immediate neighborhood will tie into Anaheim's Platinum Triangle (I know cheesy right?), a partially built, partially under construction, partially stalled by economics project that's attempting to bring some dense, mixed use, walkable urbanism to the area between the 5 and 57 freeways that is Angel Stadium, Honda Center, Convention center and Disneyland adjacent.

i am an old lady



june 20 - june 17, 2007

old ladies paint. i think i do too. on the above dates i am participating in paint san clemente, a plein air painting competition focused on painting the city of san clemente, ca. i've participated in this twice, and am usually pretty cool for doing it. i even got an honorable mention once, just don't call me an old lady!

fyi: "plein air" translates literally as "full air" but is used to mean outdoors and has come to represent a whole genre of painting. mostly pretty boring painting if you're not an old lady, but people usually think it's pretty so...

EXCEPOT

excepot is
it's own exciting thing! it has no etymological source. it is a free, wonderful, beautiful new word!

you are certainly an excepot and you are excepot

with this word, you will feel like someone just handed you the moon and and you won't know quite what to do with it!

everyone excepotally (adverb) excepots (verb) excepot (adjective) excepots (noun) everyday!!!!

you see, it is at once a noun, adjective, adverb and a verb!!!! it is one of the most useful amazing new words ever heard or uttered by an english speaker of the late-post industrial/capitalist social construct! frankly, if someone calls you an excepot, you should be flattered. THEN!
