Another Pattern Language


One of my textbooks for Human Context for Design is called "A Pattern Language". It’s basically a guideline for architectural design process (personally, I think it's could be an 'architecture design for dummy' book, except it wouldn't be very useful). So, I'm writing a simple pattern language for my recent life. That's why it's called "Another Pattern Language".

A DARK ROOM:
messy bed(1) unfolded clothes(2)... in the laundry basket and on the floor dirty socks(3) wood dust and foamcore(4) modeling tools and material(5)...all kinds of junk you can find you can find in my studio is now at home

unorganized desk(6) dusty laptop(7)...works really slow piles of books(8)...new, unread dirty tea mugs(9)

a garbage can(10)...without garbage bag, but full of junks

dusty drafting table(11) dusty lamp with dim light(12) unfinished model(13) more wood dust and foamcore(14) cutting knives(15)...sharp, dangerous; they can peel off any part on your hands drafting pens(16)...most of them are broken; out of ink

a wall with some drafting tape(17)...it says "C loves D" (also "D loves C" backwards) ink marks(18)...from the out-of-ink "sharpie" dusty printer(19).....out of ink too

A GIRL
black eye bags(20) long messy hair(21)...curled and tangled double chin, triple belly and muffin butt(22)...she's still eating chocolate broken back/spine(23) 24 hrs/day is not enough(24) depressed(25) confused(26) tired(27) tired(28) tired(29)...

A QUIET CLASSROOM
a test(30) unfinished answers(31) dead air(32) sleepy(33) boring teachers(34) stupid teachers(35) stupid students(36) unfinished homework(37) more homework(38)

(DWTX: ...and a Dawei sitting unobserved in the corner(39) taking pictures(40)...
CCTX: Wait! I'm not done yet!
CCTX grabs a frying pan and swings it into DWTX's face..."dianggggg"
DWTX-->>pass out)

A DAWEI PILLOW
very comfortable(39) excellent medic and 'C-engineer'(40)...I know that's where I need to go when I feel I'm broken spy-D(41)...sitting unobserved in the corner, taking pictures(42)... my favorite spot(43)...my goal is to make it bald! 'chee-foo, dengdeng'(44)...it's our secrete codes... burned chicken(45)...the point is why the chicken was burned, hei hei hei...

Well, that's about it. The weekend is coming. But I don't think it will be relaxing at all. I've got two projects to do. But this Sunday is Chinese Year. Now matter what happens, I need to celebrate it. Maybe being busy is good in some way, at least I'm not very homesick (actually I should say, I don't have time to be homesick...>.<)
