Now, why would they buy a house on a lovely street of vintage townhouses and do this? Buy a modern house somewhere else. I would be so pissed.

Replenishing the Nonfiction Stack; or, We're Calling the Book Buying Ban a Wash, Officially.
I am not, apparently, immune to coupons for niche nonfiction that's directly up my alley (octopus minds and RUSSIAN OWLS, hello??? Thanks, bookshop!).
I thought perhaps the BURGLAR'S GUIDE would also be covered under said coupon, since it was publisher-specific (alas: it was Not, but we might as well bundle for shipping purposes). And then while I was shopping IRL for gifties I found a copy of ROOM, which has been on my list for...ever? So! Hopefully these will hold me over on the nonfiction front for a minute!
#books#book photography#nonfiction#tbr#a burglar's guide to the city#geoff manaugh#a room of one's own#virginia woolf#other minds#peter godfrey-smith#owls of the eastern ice#jonathan c. slaght#it was an FSG/Picador coupon that bookshop sent me lol#and i knew burglar's guide was also FSG but apparently the coupon was only for Specific Books on their List#(owls and minds)#so. those were impulse buys.#burglar's lowkey was too tbh#ROOM was 'if i cannot literally buy myself a room of my own right now i will purchase this book about it'#(the housing market will be the death of me i stg)#i saw a snippet from burglar's on this hellsite and thought 'ah architecture and thievery YES please'#seriously all my niche interests right here lolol#and yeah okay i really did think i was going to moderate a book ban (read 5 buy 1)#but i've been failing at that since. january. and i will not catch up at this stage :(#so we'll just call that dead to the world and pretend it didn't ever exist :)#ANYWAY PLEASE BEHOLD MY PRETTY BOOKS!!!#i had a spine shot but i didn't love what it did to the photoset composition lol#might as well post that separately here i goooo

See a short twitter thread about the Fallout series' architecture
"The real [Washington DC] is filled with neoclassical & brutalist architecture thats arranged in impenetrable walls of uniformly-tall buildings creating a uniquely imposing and sinister vibe among US cities"
first thought?
"what a coward, intimidated by the world's biggest poser of a city"
#this city tries so hard to be cultured and fails is what it is#this city is SHORT is what it is#wanted to be classicist and failed#wanted to be brutalist and is failing#if you are intimidated by washington dc architecture quite frankly idunno what to tell you

day 317
i gotta get better about letting myself post wips on this dang blog
i feel like i have these ideas that are a little more time and labor intensive than my usual dailies and i sit down and look at my lil list of ideas and im like "hmmmm i dont think i can finish that in time to post the whole thing TONIGHT" so i overlook it in favor of something easier and then the big fancy ideas never get done but like
if not for posting wips and shitty doodles then what even is a daily blog for right
#day 317#year 4#wip#aradia megido#homestuck#anyway. dipping into the domain of my Old Enemy (art history)#i failed art history 101 twice#i took SEVERAL 3 and 400-level ahis courses and passed them FINE but the fucking INTRODUCTORY COURSE just killed me#it was so much fucking architecture and heres the thing yall. Buildings Is The Fucking Same.#ask me to tell u the difference between a doric and ionic column and after the cold chill passes from my spine i WILL kick u in the shins

are you kidding me
I took a uni course and the prof repeatedly said that anyone who aced the class had a future in the field the course was about
Prof then 1) did not release ANY grades until *checks watch* 7 weeks after the class ended
2) every single student got a D or F
I just have...so many thoughts on this as a fellow educator, but alas I'm on mobile and it's too hard for me to type.
#the last time this happened i was in my second year of uni in an architecture 101 course#and the prof proudly told us most of us would fail his class#like that's not the goal man#the class i took this time was a post-bacc course for me#but there were actual degree-seeking students in it and the ones i talked to seemed very demoralized#im not demoralized because i joined the class to gain skills that i did in fact gain#and i can assess another educator as Not Knowing What They’re Doing in a way full-time students might not be able to#but yeah#wow

There's an eight-day span of Northern Reaches travel that takes place in an abandoned monastery. The short of it is, there's a blizzard. This is when they encounter the terror-feeder.
Because my brain cannot work without all the data, I went looking for ancient monastery floor plans so I can make my own. Enter the Plan of St. Gall, which did not depict St. Gall but was found at St. Gall.
I guess this bad boy dates from like the 13th century and is the only example we have an architectural drawing at this scale from this time period. It may have survived because somebody was like OOOO PAPER and it got a new life as a saint biography. But don't quote me on any of that. I'm more interested in what it says than how it came to be.
What I do know is this thing is absurdly difficult to parse. Latin is not a language I know well, and I'm really just flying blind.
Some things I've found that just cannot be right:
A room labeled "aliud" which just means... "something else"??
"Domur bubulcorum" -- so cow bedroom? Which makes sense as this was a fully-functional monastery, but then right beside it is "conclave aprecularum", which is the "priests' chamber", or the "concalve appecularum" (depending on if I can read the handwriting), which is the "room of glasses"??? (S/o to @im-a-luxury--few-can-afford for pointing out it's probably milk jars.)
A space at the top of the sanctuary that describes being gently squeezed through the crypt -- "per crypta strycta mite bynt".
Above the crypt on the opposite side, we've got "Hic paul(y), magni breemur/bremur/bramur/brumur", which is "Here's Paul," and then either "loud noise", "future big breaking", or "we are very proud".
It seems like they're doing that thing where the S sound is sometimes written as f, and also maybe the German ß is involved but the handwriting may just be that bad.
All of this is to say, someone else had better have translated this, because good gracious I cannot. I've tried. It's not happening.
#shoutout to where they stitched the little rips with actual thread#this thing is amazing#fantasy writing#monastery#plan of st. gall#architecture#historical architecture#history#latin#latin language#translation#translation fail#architectural drawing

I'm forgetful and I have a hard time understanding human constructs and society hates me for it, isn't it fun to be me
#autiposting#I'm gonna fail computer architecture not because I don't have an understanding of like singed integer representation#or like floating point arithmatic but because I cannot fucking be bothered to interact with this guys linux server#but it's literally the only avenue to hand in assignments and I hate it with my whole heart I never wanna see C ever again

I saw someone had made a 45 mins long video about how Avatar 2 is *checks notes* An Environmentalist Masterpiece... I'm kinda curious to watch it because like I can't even imaging how you'd make that argument, but also I feel like it might just melt my brain.
#it would probably make me compulsively write an essay about how i think the movies failed the environmentalist themes#because i have thoughts about it#and i'm supposed to be writing an essay about finnish romantic nationalist architecture#so that wouldn't be good

Up, Up, and Astray: The Cleveland Balloonfest '86 Disaster
In August 1986, Cleveland aimed for a record-breaking event with its massive balloon release, dubbed the Cleveland Balloonfest. Organized by the United Way of Cleveland, this event was meant to be a simple, joyful fundraiser. Instead, it spiraled into a notorious mess, showing how even well-meaning plans can go dramatically wrong.
The plan was simple: release over one and a half million balloons into the sky above Cleveland's Public Square, creating a sea of vibrant colors that would float over the city, symbolizing peace and unity. Volunteers worked tirelessly, filling biodegradable balloons with helium and corralling them under a massive net. The excitement was palpable, the spectacle was set to break records, and the city buzzed with anticipation.
However, the outcome was far from what anyone had hoped. Instead of a floating parade of gaiety dispersing into the heavens, a cold front brought rain and wind, causing a premature descent of the balloons. This multicolored deluge blanketed the Greater Cleveland area, clogging waterways, littering streets, and even interrupting operations at a nearby airport.
In the aftermath, the city was swamped not only with balloons but also with lawsuits and public outcry. What began as a festive fundraiser turned into an environmental nightmare, making Balloonfest '86 a cautionary tale about the unintended consequences of large-scale promotional events.
