Dissapointment and Intrigue

Okay. I guess the topic I can't get away from at this juncture is the poor, poor, pooooor performance of my NUFC going down 2-1 to FULHAM of all clubs. FULHAM. Yes, yep. That's right, the same fulham (notice, not capitalized, indicating lack of respect. As opposed to the previous ALL caps, indicating ONLY emphasis, and not respect) which lost 5-1 to Man Utd in week one. Now, I know what you're thinking. if you put those two marks together, you get a 7-2 aggregate, Man U over NUFC. But see, that's where you're wrong. Both games were a bit flukey, and not representative of the true performance level of both teams. Now, that being said, there is absolutely no excuse for giving up two goals in the final 8 minutes of the game, especially after my boy, scotty parker, had already taken out their #1 scoring threat, jimmy bollard(accidentally). Again, the lack of defensive transfer activity is biting us in the a$$ and only glenn roeder and fat freddy can be held responsible. Our midfield is still one of the 3 best in the prem, our strike force, despite scoring only one goal at home against fulham(again, no caps), is pretty ample if you ask me. Martins is still new and learning the system. He'll start scoring pretty soon. He was scrappy enough to deserve applause today. It's on the defensive end that we're falling short. Consistently. Week. After. Week.

Okay. Now to the intriguing architectural part of my day. A couple things. A) We(my group of five crazy-gifted architectural designers. It's us(me and ach), slab(jeff and jill) and noboru) decided that we're way too behind schedule to adequately finish our proposal for a national library in the czech republic. A very noble yet dissapointing decision was made to not submit anything, rather than spending three weeks chasing our tales and submitting something that we know won't win. Instead we will turn our attention on competition #2, another library, this time a city library for the city of stockholm, sweden. We've already got some great ideas for that one, more than the last.
Also, I bought this great new addition of Pamphlet Architecture. It's ed. 27, called TOOLING, by this firm Terraswarm, two guys named aranda and lasch. It goes through a series of formal recipes/tools, and simply sets up rules, when used repetitively, gives you complex, and reductive yet beautiful results. Well done, guys. This is something really special.
