a sexy art review and some updates

.

So you're supposed to download this program that will upload pictures to a predetermined location online then this program will put them into your blog for you....but I found a way to cut out the middle man and just post pics myself. Sweet. Maybe I'll actually post a pic of myself after this.

Anyway this is a famous photograph by Pamela Hanson. It's called "Bis". Arick had a creativity workshop (which was really awesome) and he had us take a closer look at this picture. It was interesting, because half of the people in the room though the guy was looking coldly, almost angrily at the woman, and half the people thought he was looking at her like he wants her. Well she's sitting in front of a mirror with her legs open so obviously I just thought he wanted her.
Arick also pointed out that the girl has a bandaid on her hand, and there are papers on the table the guy could be looking at. Furthermore, they're in a hotel room, have they just met and maybe had a one night stand? Have they been together for a long time? It's all very interesting.

I tried to look up what the photographer was thinking when she took this pic, but I couldn't find out anything except that she likes to take pics of girls in seductive yet innocent poses. Maybe the bandaid was part of the innocent thing? I don't know. Any other thoughts on this, any art critics out there?

Now for some updates:

1: I never realized how much I took my old phone for granted. My mom lovingly spilled tea on it and it died a horrible corrosion filled death, so I got a new one from the insurance company. My new phone dies after about 24 hours of not charging and it doesn't get service ANYWHERE. So I am getting a second new phone tomorrow. It better fucking work right.

2: I am now the only full time tech at the lab. I don't like this, I am going to get all the responsibility for everything now and if something goes wrong whose fault is it gonna be? Yeah I'm the most senior member of the new team of techs coming on so I'm supposed to know everything. Besides that, I'm gonna miss Barb and Angel :( (and I already miss Catharine) Grrr stupid job politics.

3: I am moving in 2 days. AHHHHHHHHHH. I am getting internet/tv in 6 days. WTF AM I GONNA DO FOR 4 DAYS? I think Andrew and I are both gonna live at his house til tuesday because he is a freak for the internet and I am a freak for tv. Sad.

4: I got reimbursed for my Philadelphia trip last June!! I thought I'd never get the money back. I am now 360 dollars richer. Guess where that money is going? A plane ticket to the great state of California to meet Andrew's family in August. At least it's a good cause.

Okay I'm done. Let's see if the picture thing will work:



Woohoo! Okay this isn't Andrew, this is my best friend Joe. He is a kiss whore when he's drunk (hahaha). I really need to get some new pics uploaded somewhere though, I'm sick of all my old ones online. Plus Joe and I are all over each other in every pic I have, so I should probably post pics of Andrew so people don't get confused. Well that will be at a later date.

*side note, I am wearing that same shirt right now*

The Deal with Kevin Spacey: Part 2

Image
I figure I better finish this captivating cliff hanger before 2013, so I'm writing this just under the wire. Starting from the end of the previous blog entry, here we go: A little over a year ago now, my best friend Angie posted a link to my Facebook page of a trailer for Kevin Spacey in  Richard III . The thing is, this was not a movie, it was a stage play. And the even better thing is, he was performing at BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music). Mike and I had already moved away from Brooklyn at that time, but I had gone to BAM before, and it happened to be a quick walk from our old neighborhood. That got me thinking that it would not be difficult to get there. I looked on the BAM website, and saw that tickets were affordable. Also, Bank of America members (which, regrettably, I am) got early access to tickets. I believe the tickets went on sale in early November 2011. I called BAM the minute the box office opened that day, and ordered 2 tickets for Mike and I to attend in February ...

Silence is Golden

So I can talk. Maybe not as eloquently as I type, but I have no trouble striking up conversations with people. However, talking is not the same as expressing emotions through words, which I have a very hard time doing. I feel like it's very hard for me to say how I feel to people, for fear of getting put down, and sometimes, for fear of hurting others' feelings. Now when Andrew and I were in the process of our horrendously emotional breakup, I was crying a lot, but not saying much at all. So Andrew was confused and tried to get me to emote by constantly asking me how I was feeling, which wasn't helping the matter at all. Well Andrew has just broken up with the girl he went out with after me (BEFORE I started dating Mike, I may add). She's very hurt and keeps wondering what things she could have done to change how he felt and why he didn't tell her much of a reason why he didn't want to be with her. This makes me feel guilty for never telling Andrew anyth...

Hmm I see a trend with who in Hollywood I am attracted to: (besides Hugh Jackman, who is just, in general, the perfect man) Colin Farrell James Spader Sean Penn Olivier Martinez Michael Madsen Russell Crowe The Rock Edward Norton Justin Theroux In case you can't guess....they've all played some real badasses and/or are badasses in real life. I guess I'm just one of those people...you know, the girls who go for the bad guy. Not all the time, but I've noticed I am dramatically more attracted to someone in a movie when they become "bad". Say for instance....Sam Rockwell in Charlie's Angels (I know, bad film, whatever, but it's the perfect example) I could care less about him until the scene where he starts dancing and smoking a cigarette......so hot. Maybe I'm like the people in Crash.....maybe I just get off on violence. I don't think so though, I think I just like the power in people. Power is hot. So is a disregard for the ...
