hey wasnt that GAR building used in that film about the recluse author (Sean Connery) and the black youth who learns from him how to write proper after trying to squat in Seany's shack? or something

Hmmmm... I don't think so. Was that Finding Forrester? IMDB sez that took place in NY. But I never saw it.

Sure it wasn't the Flatiron Building (which, well, is another fav)...

Old St. Paul's (fascinates me, shame it didn't survive; same goes for the old London Bridge with houses and heads on spikes etc.)

I love modern architecture but I'm also a sucker for the classics. It's really something to walk around the coloseum and think of all the people and beasts that have walked before. Plus think of what it took to plan and construct!

wot the fuck! okay, you all know what the Colosseum looks like anyway.

Jonathan I spent 20 hours a week shelving bound periodicals in the "Sci Li". Wish I'd been around for the Tetris game you picture there.

I see the wind that moves the clouds away.
It moves the clouds over by the building.
I pick the building that I want to live in.

My building has every convenience.
It's gonna make life easy for me.

Ah, Winter Hill Mast. If you can see it, it's about to rain. If you can't see it, it's raining.

I've lived there with another poster, Plunging Hen, since buying the property from Martin Short in the late eighties.

I think you'll find Karen's picture is of Berks.

aha, plunging hen of the famous "god googles everybody" thread?

― michael wells (michael w.), Thursday, 9 January 2003 14:02 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yes ... her. Although I believe Plunging borrowed the 'God googles everyone' line from Rogan Whitenails' poem, published in his new book: 'Failure Crawled up my Leg 2002'. More information about the artist Whitenails can be found at www.electromancer.com. His poem was read out at our recent wedding.

The Boom Op. Blues
(working temporarily as a background artist)

This is a tale of bits, made whole,
When bound in the mouths that tell it;
A tale of debris - the bones of a vole,
Scuffling inside a pellet
Deposited by an owl;
A tale of failure and detritus;
Of going from Tie Rack to Titus
In two days - so distant:
Playing a scrawny sales assistant,
Serving the actors who starred,
Then playing a Roman guard,
Behind a gladiator.
I should be a boom operator,
A dubbing mixer, sound recordist;

My life is the fading scent on my wrist -
A perfume bottle - the Tester;
And I am Electromancer’s jester.
My life is last-orders, the coded bell;
My life is the tale that no one will tell
(Its bits are far too bitty);
Pyrotechnical self-pity,
Panic attacks, the dole:
A tale of debris, the bones of a vole.
The infinite emoticon,
The omniscient soul -
And God googles everyone,
Except the scuffling vole;
Except, it seems, the scuffling vole.

The Gamble House by Greene & Greene, in Pasadena. I've been outside but not inside. But we've all been there - it was Doc Brown's house.

Hehe the sad thing is The SciLi is the tallest point in RI, but if you goto the top the view is quite nice, yeah ugly building. Provience is a really nice place, surprised to see a Imax in the mall...

The house I grew up in was about 300 feet away from this grand old hotel. Pfizer bought it and tore it down when I was 8. They kept the tennis courts in the back, though. Still, my neighborhood was *so* dull after that.
