hey remember that month i only ate tangerines

i have these random moments in my life where i realize i'm utilizing my RISD education...  not something i learned in the classroom, but the culture of hard work & scrappiness, using whatever supplies you have access to, staying up for days & never considering giving up.  like this week when i'm making giant mats for giant maps for an exhibition.  i've never done something like this before, but, hell, give me an x-acto & some paper and i'll figure it out.

i'm also working under extreme conditions because my office has been without heat for over a week now!  it won't get above 60 in here, but at least it warmed up to 60?  i'd leave, but i have a space heater to keep me company & i'm climbing on tables - sound like fun to me!
