hi from mexico.

and, i’m ashamed to admit, today’s architecture update was taken super quickly from my hotel room, as my schedule in mexico city is really busy and i unfortunately don’t have time to go out and take pictures of the great buildings in mexico city. mea culpa, i’m sorry.

but i’m standing here in my hotel room looking at the back of the this building and from here it looks pretty amazing. this big, beautiful art deco fortress.

i’m assuming ‘imss’ has something to do with social security? if so, then i’m positing that this is probably the most beautiful art deco social security fortress on the planet. i could be wrong.  i’m often wrong.  but i stand by my posit.

also i took this picture in the rain, as it’s raining.  or was.  now it stopped.  so the streaks in the pictures are not some fancy photoshop rain plug-in effect.  they’re just rain.  old timey rain.

i wish i had time to go and take a picture of the front of this amazing art deco fortress, but as i mentioned before: busy, busy, busy. i like busy, it saves me from having to spend time with my thoughts of mortality and the human condition. art deco fortresses are way more entertaining than thoughts of mortality and the human condition. 

a part of me wishes that this building were some big, top-secret center for alien communication. like the 'international mexican space studies’ building. but i’m sure that social security is nice, too.

maybe not as nice as aliens, but few things are.

ok, back to work.
