Gorgiosity

I mean sure, it's a stupid simple concrete perch (overlooking the valley but still), with no privacy, fifties orange furniture and a roof made of corrugated iron. (Is that what that is?) But there's something very special about this little Case Study house.

The Shulman photography helps, I think. This is now my desktop background. I can imagine I'm standing there in my baby blue smoking jacket, gazing upon the plebs in flatland, thinking of the screenplays I'm gonna write.

One can dream.
