Today we were awoken with a double-edged sword: the blessing of clouds and the curse of a pool of humidity. I stepped out onto our balcony and had the brief hallucination of a cornfield, but then sighed in relief as I realized the city was still below me. Clouds of every color gray floated past the window I face at my studio desk (they floated for the whole seven hours, yes, seven. in studio. bleh.) Unlike most people I am a huge supporter of clouds. The soft light made the varied orange hues of the ancient buildings stand out even more, making it even harder for me to concentrate on my axonometric drawing (don't even ask.) Around 16:30 this afternoon we were met with a rainstorm; when it rains in Rome it pours. Water ran out of the rusty downspouts, weaving its way through the cracks in the cobblestone and giving a sheen to the granite steps.
On a side note I had a white feather come through the window and land on my desk. I kept it.
Today had good vibes, good vibes.
OK ... I'll look it up (Axonometric that is). Any bugs to further remind you of Iowa?
