after winding our way through the mountains, we made an endrun for the ocean to meet up with a friend of diana's from school. after spending a couple hours hanging out on the beach, we decided to call bill and see if he was around. luckily he was and he was on a jobsite. we went to meet him and he was in the middle of one of the most frustrating job situations we have ever seen. he is working on a private house called "villa nurbs" which is meant to indicate the calculus based system that gave the house its form. the idea is mildly interesting, but the project is a total clusterfuck. the principle architect appears to be totally incompetent and the client visits the site everyday, making changes. essentially, all designing is done onsite, which leads to constant delays and everyone wants to quit. luckily bill is only a summer intern, so he is done now. although it was not under the best of circumstances, it was nice to see some friendly faces.
