I've been sick as a dog the last week. I came down with strep throat on Tuesday. I had to go to Urgent Care on Friday to pick up some antibiotics for my disease. I was running a light fever for 5 days, it wasn't until last night that my fever finally broke, I could finally swallow with no pain by this afternoon. It's a helluva way to spend a 3 day weekend.
At any rate; I bought a new entry way lamp at 'Rejuvenation' which is a pretty cool store if you're looking for replica lighting. I got a globe light called Sfera 16, it should fit pretty well with the look of the rest of the condo. I'll post pictures when I install the light (it has to come via mail in 2 weeks).
Over my sick time, I've watched two documentaries on Modernism. The overriding theme of both was that modernism, is/ was dreamed of being a new way of living in the machine age. Modern construction and design could enable men to live better and more fulfilled lives. Somewhere, between the failure of Vietnam and the election of Reagan, we lost track of that ideal. In recent times, I think Modernism is in comeback mode. I think the democratic optimism fits well with America's current political and social environment.
