You gather the villagers, pass out torches, build a siege tower and take what is rightfully yours.
Well, I'm in

you're in charge of designing the trebuchets

I am so not even kidding about the fact that I have spent a goodly portion of my morning looking at the property on Google Earth and using my knowledge of the region to determine the best angle of attack, how we'd have to go about initiating a siege.

I am a prisoner of my brain.
And it fucking rules.
I am so glad that I'm not the only one who does shit like this

This is the Winthrop Building in downtown Boston. It is my favorite building in the entire city. I love the massing, brickwork, the iron fretwork and the colors of the building. Everything about it is perfect to me.
Fast Facts: It is the first steel framed office building built in Boston. It is named after John Winthrop, 2nd Massachusetts Colony Governor and sits on the site of his former home. It is bordered by Spring Lane and Water St, so named because it was the site of the fresh water spring that allowed the Shawmut peninsula (Boston) to be settled, first by Native Americans, followed by Mr. Blaxton and then Gov. Winthrop, et al.
You probably know this house. It is an 18,000 square foot, 4 bedroom, 8 bathroom house on a 60 x 401.87 foot lot that was the home of the late mathematician, James Stewart. Stewart made a LOT of money writing the most popular calculus text books in the world.
Like the calculus symbol and the symbol on a violin, an instrument played by Stewart who also played in the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra. This house is named after the calculus symbol, and one of the basic rules of calculus. The name of this house is the 'Integral House'. It was designed by Bridget Shim and Howard Sutcliffe of Shim-Sutcliffe Architects (click here to see the list of others involved) and was inspired by the works of Finnish architect Alvar Aaltor. It took 3 years to design and 6 years to build. The house was completed in 2009.
Since then, Stewart hosted many concerts like this one by Steve Reich, And charity events such as the LGBT donor recognition event seen here, As well as annual Halloween and Pride Week parties.
According to the Globe and Mail article written last week about the house,
"Mr. Stewart’s executors will give most of the money from the sale of the house to his chosen arts and scientific organizations in the form of endowments and bequest."
Though the house reportedly cost about $32 million to build with the previous house costing almost $6 million to buy before tearing down. After being quietly for sale for that last year, and 2 months after the listing video was published on the internet, it is now officially on the market for $28,000,000.
It will probably take two years to find a buyer for the house. During that time, the executors will continue to let Mr. Stewart’s favourite groups organize concerts.
Gotta say I'm not sure I could ever live in it and it would feel like "home", but it's a pretty amazing building. I'm really hoping whoever moves into it doesn't change it too much.
I am really goddamn boring because I saw that bathroom and thought "ooh bet that floor gets slippy, gotta put a bathmat down".
I was put off by (amongst other things) the lack of privacy at the shower, the column through the countertop, and the insane amount of cabinet space under said countertop.

it's like high fashion, guys. It's never meant to be worn on the street.

I do like that the shower and tub area is sunk. I dislike shower pans.
Liiya do you have any idea how crazy it is to me that you can legit use sentences like "That castle is slightly odd to me because its like what you might stumble across in the countryside here"

speaking of showers:
I've seen showers like these, mainly in european condo listings and such
I'm not sure how you're supposed to use them without getting water everywhere
like even with a shower curtain and a tub, our shower manages to leak water across the rest of the bathroom, which makes it awful if you have to walk in there afterwards and you have socks on

Personally I like the opposite extreme of Japanese bathrooms where there's an entirely separated room in which everything is meant to get wet and it's a big open shower next to a deep deep tub to soak in.

I also wish I had a longbow now.
Serious question.
they're the ones that break up wind speed near and around towns and fields right?

You really can't even see the castle. It's odd.
Ghost castle
Seems appropriate:

Is my sense of scale way off or is that bed pretty short?
Looking at the picture I feel like I'd have to lie diagonally or something.
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.

edit: as in, a museum dedicated to a niche interest. Not a museum of niches, that would require far more corners.
that fuckin bathroom, though

Japanese baths are the best.

That looks like a Final Fantasy Tactics battle map. Great looking building.
