Last week, under the pretext of testing my shape grammar for my research, I got the chance to play with Lego again. The sound of scooping around with my hand through the box to find the right piece took me back. Then again, I used to make spaceships back then, now it’s apartment blocks. It felt sacrilegious when I had to superglue some pieces together. But seriously, using Legos was a great tool for shape grammar development. No, really.

僕はオレスティスです。 Look: I can type Japanese!

News snippet cocktail: It was my birthday on Thursday. I bought myself a synthesizer and a bass multi-effects pedal, both used. They should be arriving on Monday. Also, Lydia is on this island. I will try to pop down to London and see her sometime next week.
