1. What did you do in 2005 that you'd never done before?I worked out continuously for about a year. That was pretty amazing in terms of how it impacted my overall mood. 2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?I am not a resolution kind of kid. I tend to set goals when they are needed. 3. Did anyone close to you give birth?My Cousin gave birth to twins.

Sigur Ros 02-13-06 Originally uploaded by Tom Hayes. This show was amazing. If you ever get the chance to see Sigur Ros in concert - just go. Jonsi Birgisson's voice is so pure and emotional - plus he plays a guitar with a bow. It was a great evening that I am still reveling in this morning.

It has been a long time. Yes. I have debated about closing the whole blog thing down often and somehow cannot just yet. Since I am prolonging the blog's demise I would like to report on a small piece of news:Check out www.cafexperiment.com on February 10th. One of my photo's will be the photo of the day.Other than that things are rather quiet in Columbus, Ohio. I am making many plans for

Wexner Center For the Arts Originally uploaded by indi.ca.

So this whole portfolio process and grad school application process is quite stressful. I am sure that people who have been to grad school are quite understanding of this. I suppose that the most stressful part is that of not beating yourself up in the process.The portfolio design process takes forever. Edit after edit after edit - after screw it all and start again. I still have a while until

I am obviously getting quite bad at this blogging thing. I suppose that it is due to the crazy, fun summer months. I am truly sorry. I am sure that once the winter months hit I will be back to blogging about boring things such as what I ate for dinner and why I am tired because I didn't have three cups of coffee today. Until then, bare with me.Good news though: I have booked a long deserved

beer. Originally uploaded by Sarah Jane. This weekend was pride and Comfest. I have had an amazingly fun time. Serving beer and stowing away on a float would probably be the highlights along with brunch at Kristens and dinner at Haiku. The day ended with pool and drinks at Heidi's. Awesome time with way too much drinking involved. But isn't that what summer festivals are known for?

The fun part of the grad school application process is now beginning - creation of the portfolio.I looked through some of my old projects last night and decided that a few need reworking to add a new 'edge' to them. I am so rediculously excited about working on this I can barely sit still at my desk here at work. I can't wait to get home, crack open a beer, blast some music and get to work. Let's

After having too much fun last night at an architecture party I have been struggling all day to correct myself. My usual hangover remidies have not worked too well. These involved such things as napping, chipotle, water, asprin, walking, 2 baths... i am still feeling rather awful.I managed to walk down to the local arts festival this morning and witnessed the most wonderful play of Charile and

I am currently reading a wonderful book entitled, "The Curious Life of Robert Hooke," by Lisa Jardine. In short it is set in the 17th Century (1600's) London and is about the life of a man who despite being a scientist, architect, engineer, writer and biologist never quite made it.My favorite quote so far was taken from Mr. Hooke's diary towards the end of his life when he began to bombard his

It is Friday and I am on the precipice of the weeks end. It is beautiful outside and all I can think about is running out of the office into freedom - this freedom would be such as laying in a park, buying a new digital camera (yes, I know i shouldn't think about this) and driving with some drum and bass blaring out the windows.

I am back from the rugged outdoors with many life changing experiences such as squatting to pee, lugging bales of hay up a hill and not showering for days. I loved it very much as a result of great down time to read and write as well as time to chat with the other guests. I must admit there is something great about finding your place in the world through nature. Not everything revolves around big

After work today I am headed into the wild - I am journeying to a camp to spend the weekend. I am very excited as I get to finally get away from the city and check in with the inner Sarah Jane. This cabin that I am staying in has no electricity, running water and my cell phone won't work there. Talk about getting back to nature. The world as I know it will cease to exist. This means tons of

Architecture can be very self defeating and difficult to deal with. As choosing to be a young participant in the field you are privy to become the outlet of frustration to the many older participants. This constant issue arises generally from a persons need to be an asshole - as their mentors were to them. It becomes a right of passage with no logical explaination and no matryr throwing hault to

Returning from the library on this dreary rainy saturday afternoon I settled down to a cup of spilt pea soup and a chunk of sour dough bread. Yummy. I managed to pick up some great movies, books and CD's. Apparently Saturday is the day to go. Along with some Cibo Matto, David Bowie, B & S, I managed to pick up the Sonique CD. Remember that "So High" dance song from about 5 years ago? I think this

It happened again. I suppose it is just a fact of life at least I am trying to write it off with that explanation.My grandmother in the UK died this weekend. Her funeral is this Friday. Yet again I am unable to journey across the 'pond' to say goodbye. My parents leave today for the trip. At this point I am very hurt, sad, and angry. For some reason I hold my patriarchal familial lineage pretty

I am sitting in my apartment eating chocolate and drinking tea con lache on a Sunday morning. While hanging out with a poorly Joe last night we watched some "Vicar of Dibly" as well as Fellini's "La Dolce Vita." Fellini knows how to touch that attractive Italia vibe that everyone fancies such as Marcello's constant uniform of a suit with sunglasses and the endulgance of dancing in the Trevi

I had the most amazing dream last night:Joe and I were driving though a town called "Tivoli" and it was the most perfect place ever. Representative of an old english village with no building setback regulations and flowering bushes everywhere. We drove up a winding road to fun a beautiful cathedral being built from raw masonry and temporary wooden formwork. Around another corner happened to be a

Monday flew by until about 10am. Suddenly time stopped and it began to almost go backwards. It is only 4:05 and it should be much later. I am right and I know it is really 8pm.My favorite DJ - Emma B - left her BBC radio1 post of 7 years to pursue more of a television career. I will truly miss her on the Sunday Surgery. She came across as if she really did care about everyone who called, as if

The crazy cycle is over as I must buckle down and become serious about my future again. A friend of mine just received the positive word on her grad school application and it has reminded me of the possibilities I have failed to recently recognize. Enough with fulfilling the current social obligation and all that it entails – a studious recluse now emerges from the sheer drive and desire to leave

The presentation went well even with a special guest appearance by the city health commissioner (second in command under the mayor) which was unexpected. This was a great experience to be able to explain a project that I am heading up to the client – yet this was the first time I have done it and it was to quite an impressionable/powerful crew.

I think it could be nerves too -I have a presentation to give today on a project that apparently is 'completly' mine as quoted by my boss. Agh!

The house I live in was built about 100 years ago in a brick Victorian style - quite a beauty with stone detailing on the exterior and moments of ceramic detailing in certain rooms. The original decorative woodwork has been painted too many times to count, but the subtle detailing is still evident. I am even lucky enough to have two front doors as they often did in those periods for the

Does this have anything to do with watching a little of the new L Word episode this morning?I am in a good mood.I also ordered two tickets for an m83 concert at the Wexner Center this morning. This is a group I am into at the moment. It is much like Sigur Ros (also

I am sick again. Twice in one week is just plain idiotic. I took last monday off to ward off illness and now, 6 days later, it has caught up with me. I don't mind being sick, as in having a cold, other than the sheer concentration needed to eat and drink. I hate having to take huge breaths before taking a bite or gulp of something so that I don't suffocate to death. Being sick also means that

I am at home on a Friday taking the day off to take the dreaded GRE. Well, it is done and over. I am very happy with some one my scores but others could be better. This is what I am trying to teach myself as a lesson in life. Apparently, when you are on the right track things do not work out without a little effort. This is why I feel that I should retake them. I really have nothing to lose and

It is nearly 6:30am and I have already put in nearly 6 hours of work. Damn this rocks.Plus, because nobody is here I am able to actually accomplish things without being interrupted. I can also blast my dance/techno music SUPER loud without the counseling centers below getting upset.Hopefully I won't be too tired today. Now, off to a doctors appointment and then back to the office. Wow, I feel

In the england when it was on the verge of raining and we would get small droplets of rain we would explain this situation as "well, it's just spitting out there." When I say that here people don't get it.This little 'spitting' metaphor is in relation to my first CD arriving today.2raumwohnung - es wird morgen.Don't ask me what that means - I have no idea except that the first word with the

Things are not looking good concerning my plan this morning. I had thought that I would be able to run downtown to pick up some signage samples and that would be my escape for an hour. The sign guy said that today was too quick of a turn around for samples. damn! So, here I sit eating chocolate and drinking green tea. I guess that I will just have to do work then. Regardless, I found a cheaper

8:44am My mission today, I have decided is to get myself out of the office. I have been stuck in this corner for too long doing work - I must see the world! I will escape this office today for more than an hour (excluding lunch.) - wish me luck. I shall report back later as to whether or not I freed myself from the wired shackels. -s

Please, somebody save me! After buying 3 CD's last night: Rufus Wainwright - Want II Tortoise - Tortoise Squarepusher - ? I went online and bought 5 more today. oops. Bad Sarah! I am, for some reason completely obsessed with music at the moment. This could be a result of me sitting in front of a computer all day. I have not been out of the office much lately. But, some of this stuff that I

While growing up in the UK I went to the most stereo-typical-British-Harry-potter-type of school possible - Talbot Heath. As you can see from the pictures it fits the stereotypes including the neck tie and blazer look. I am still proud of my ability to tie a tie (something most of my men friends still have trouble doing.) Some of my greatest memories of this school are those which involved

Do you ever have premonitions more than you thought? I was just out driving to run errands during lunch and came to a stop light. While the light was red I noticed that the truck on the opposite side of the road was trying to take a left. I had a feeling that he would try and go while getting slightly confused by the intersection. As the light turned green he tried to take a turn right in front

Is this really a news story? What a waste of time these issues are - there are many other more pressing issues we should work on than whether or not a TV cartoon is gay or 'promotes alternative families.' What about all of the devastation a result of the Tsunami? Thousands of people died, are homeless and staving. Do these anti-gay people really have their heads stuck up their asses this much?

This morning I am in the office alone - quite a nice change since I can now 'blast' my music. Last night was my first effort at entertaining in my small one bedroom apt. I made very savory irish food - full of your basic staples. Soda Bread, a thick and hearty lentel soup and a salad. I also provided afew fix-ins as my grandmother always does. The total guest number was six - not too bad for a

Today is busy - a state I knew about prior to walking in the door this morning. I was so aware of this that I had nightmares about work. These nightmares involved me conducting a meeting in which I made a foreign old woman cry because I had forgotten to correctly verify her existing front room. AGH! Scary I know! Now, back to work....

My diet for the last couple of days has been mainly: toast, soup, coffee, tea, coffee. I feel amazingly good as a result. I name this the 'South Suburban Diet.' I don't know about the weight loss effects - but it is quite energizing.
