Apparently right angles are passé in modern office buildings, so several offices--all of which have glass walls--are trapezoids, many hallways become narrower or wider without reason, and the windows need to stick out from the walls in angled bays.

Wow, I think that would mess with me real bad.

Aaron Sorkin is adapting To Kill a Mockingbird for the stage. My Twitter timeline has already exploded with walk-and-talk jokes.

It's amazing that Harper Lee suddenly changed her mind and allowed her novel to be adapted for the stage, after all these decades of being against it.

I don't have much in the way of right angles in my house, but that's because soil subsidence is uneven. Might be better if it looked like it was on purpose? Hard to say.

They made a movie of TKaM but not a play? Huh.

Chris Christie: LOSER.

I have the requisite GIF from Hamilton running through my head here.

Wow, I think that would mess with me real bad.

There are also intermittent three-quarters height freestanding walls, because remarkably, human beings need to divide space into smaller, workable units, and those walls are starting to wobble if you lean or bump into them.

And the reactionarily rectangular cubical set up divides this style-forward space up into awkward leftover areas that can't have anything done with them. Dead chairs tend to accumulate there.

I love architecture. I love creativity in architecture. But function comes first (I'm looking at you, Le Courbusier!)

See, if your office space is basically a warehouse the cubicles fit very nicely. We're very symmetric. Lacking in windows, but symmetric.

Oh, I love the windows. I'll cut anyone who tries to take my windows away.

Speaking of windows, I can almost see the freeway! No signs of eldritch monsters who may have previously inhabited the fog, but they could be hiding. In some nook in my office building.

As some of you know my mother has been in very poor health for a very long time, for years actually. She's been on home hospice since summer, and it looks like she's finally hitting the end. I talked to my sister last night and all of her meds have been discontinued and she's on morphine to make her comfortable. The expectation is that she'll be gone in the next week or so.

I'm sad, but this has been a long drawn out time, and the reality is I've been mourning the loss of her for years now, even while she's still physically been here.

I'm going down to see her one last time on Thursday. From what my sister described she's just resting peacefully so I'm not planning to stay.

My emotions are very conflicted right now.
