What's on Mario's Bookshelf?
Over the past 3 years, I have begun to appreciate the concept of printed works. Maybe I feel this way because of my new found love of graphic design. Or, maybe I'm scared that iPads and Kindles will bring an end to publishing as we know it. Either way, the books I keep in my room are a small selection of all the books I have read over the past 3 years (let alone my entire life!).

Dear Internet,Long time no see.
Where was I? I seem to have dropped off the face of the earth. Well, starting 2 weeks ago, I became a resident of my studio(s)- Chandler Ullman Hall and the Wilbur Powerhouse. No, I did not bring a bed. However, I did spend more time in there per day (10-16 hours) than I did spend time sleeping (3 hours on bad days, 6-7 on good ones). Both my Photography and Architecture studios had final projects due (more or less) on the same day.

Anyway, now that most of my commitments are ending for the year, we will be going back to our regularly scheduled programming: design tidbits, food critiques, and more about life at Lehigh.
