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

Celebrities May Be Smaller Than They Appear

Image
If there's one thing I learned since moving to NYC, it's that celebrities are tiny people. Usually both thin and short. When I met most of the cast of Ugly Betty , that was what I noticed first. I met Amanda, Mark, Hilda, and saw Betty (I don't know their real names, I don't even watch the show actually) and they looked like the littlest people alive. America Ferrera (I lied, I know her name) must be like 5'0. Last week I went to a broadway show called "Spring Awakening" that starred Hunter Parrish (Silas on Weeds ). On stage he looked thin but tall. Once we spoke to him afterwards he was shorter than me (I was leaning back in the pic) and definitely thinner than me. The day after meeting Hunter, I found "no parking" temporary signs on my street. These signs are posted all over the place when a filming is going on. I looked at what was filming, and lucky me, it was Flight of the Conchords , season 2! I've mentioned here before that

Reflections

Well once again, I'm getting a post in just under the wire. It's been about 8 months since I last posted, and that makes Simon 11 months old right now. I looked back at my last post, and many of the "bad" things have changed. We can go to restaurants now, and we can even bring Simon if it is appropriate! I don't have to run around like crazy trying to get things done, because Simon will sit and play by himself for awhile if I need to do something. Likewise, I can take my time eating again. After about the 4-5 month mark, things got progressively easier. He learned to hold and play with objects, then to sit up, then to crawl, and now he stands (holding on to things). This makes him more and more independent. He has 8 teeth now, and eats most of what we eat, but in tiny pieces. He can wave, and clap, and say little words like mama, dada, baba, hey, and yay. He is tall for his age, but slim. He looks like Mike from the front and me from the side. He hugs and danc
