Koyaanisqatsi

means life out of balance.



It was a wonderful way to introduce our "Urban Design Theory and Elements" class but it was unsettling having to view it on 2 projection screens next to each other; i think we got the point of the movie. Half the world today lives in cities, and by cities, we don't mean confectionary constructs like Singapore, but concrete coated blotches on earth visible from space. Like the urban sprawl that begins here and finds its way to new york city. Distance has new relatives. I found a friend from OCS who is only 3 hours away by car. So near, but its not like we're having coffee anytime soon.

I'm finding my balance in school. Sorry i've been unloading my course selection woes on everyone i could lay my chat room hands on.

Koyaanisqatsi! Say it until it haunts your dreams at night.
