I find it strange how we try and create the ideals, yet still seem to miss sometimes. I was thinking about this when I looked a place to live last night. It's a loft, in what used to be a warehouse or factory. If I moved in I would have a bed above the bathroom that was built. the place is really just a raw space ready to do whatever with, but I love the idea of having a house made from a warehouse, or a business (coffeeshop or store etc.) made from an old house (i.e. midnight oil). It's odd that we build homes yet find sometimes that when we create something for one use, it's perfect for another. I've thought about this before when I seem to find the perfect sitting place on something other than a chair. Like kitchen counters. I absolutely love impromtu conversations in kitchens where first you're leaning, then someone just plops up on the counter, leaning against the cabinets and you end up sitting on counters for hours. There could be chairs, sofas, whatever less than 5 feet away but you end up on a non-sitting surface anyway. my goal for sometime in my life is whenever I have a place of my own, to create almost everything with multiple usage. not design counters that are seats, but allow for the possibilities. stuff like extra wide window sills.
anyway. life is pretty good. the promotion is going well, but it's a lot of learning and self-initiated things. It's odd to be on the other end, giving direction or helping make decisions. it's cold here and I love it. It snowed on my way back from the train last night. unfortunately it didn't linger on the streets but it was huge, fat, puffy flakes, whirling in the wind. It's going to be a crazy month.
