7 things I plan to do before I die:
- Write a novel. Or two.
- Visit every building by John Soane, Carlo Scarpa, Rudolph Schindler, Richard Neutra, Thomas Jefferson, Bruce Goff, Louis Sullivan, Pier Luigi Nervi, Santiago Calatrava, Felix Candela and Frank Lloyd Wright--and then a) write a book about the link betweeen them all, and b) design a building at least as good as all of them.
- Attend Bayreuth's Wagner Festival and go to every single session; and then visit the Rodin Museum ... when it's open.
- Watch at least one AFL final live.
- Own an original Newberry, and an original David Knowles.
- Pass a law allowing capital punishment for spammers.
- Make it possible to introduce a Constitution for New Freeland.
- Drive an E-Type Jag across Europe.
- Change the rules of a meme once I've started. :0)
- Talk nonsense.
- Build a house.
- Design a house.
- Talk nonsense to planners, buiding inspectors, and arborists so someone can build a house.
- Edit.
- Cook.
- Drink.
- Hold a note.
- Vote for an authoritarian.
- Abide respectability worshippers, clever-dick hairsplitters, cynical nihilists, bigots, poseurs or fakes.

Yer one up on me in the design/build a house department, although if I absolutely had to, I'm sure I could design one as well. I just wouldn't be able to use that etch-a-sketch, er, I mean, CAD toy of which you architects are so enamored!
And FOR FUCK'S SAKE, why are all my favorite blogs using this word verification crapola all of a sudden? It's a pain in the arse! (I gotta stop hanging out at NZ blogs!)
