I heard the voice of Jesus sayI heard the voice of Jesus say, Horatius Bonar, 1846
‘Come unto Me and rest;
lay down, thou weary one, lay down
thy head upon My breast.’
I came to Jesus as I was,
weary, and worn, and sad;
I found in Him a resting-place,
and He has made me glad.
What I did this week (13 sep 2013)
- Started out the week with Jewelry; bought a Max Wax pen and continued working on wax ring models.
- Had a very fun logo design crit in Portfolio, despite it being way too hot.
- Wednesday morning: Jim Johnson Disorganized Insanity.
- Watched the 1939 John Wayne movie Stagecoach in History of Cinema.
- Had to stay late on wednesday night to hear visiting professionals talk about their portfolios. Got to hang out with my posse, but didn’t get home until 9:45pm. (blah.)
- Spent all of thursday’s jewelry class figuring out how to sprue the wax rings I’d carved, then ate lunch with Marcia.
- Used up most of thursday afternoon talking to Anna, Julia, and Theresa about their projects and trying to forget about my own. (It was a mostly-successful strategy!)
- Friday morning: Jim Johnson Disorganized Insanity, Part 2. And then the week was finally over.
My band started working on a new album this summer. Here are some of us performing a new song a few hours after making it up.
What would D.C. look like if buildings were taller?
The D.C. Office of Planning has paired up with the National Capital Planning Commission to explore the potential of altering the federal Height of Buildings Act of 1910, which has defined the District’s skyline for nearly a century. With limited space for expansion and a growing population, the city is studying different ways to potentially change the height limit while preserving the distinct horizontality of the monumental skyline.
This is intriguing! I’ve never consciously thought about how flat Washington D.C. is. Get off their backs! Let the buildings go free!
Day 12: fri, 13 sep 2013. It’s always handy to have photos of Clint Eastwood in your creative team’s Dropbox folder. Here, Jason and Jim Johnson do their best Clint impressions.
