they have a lot of stuff there. it was overwhelming. at first i was gonna try going in the order of the map so that i could visit everything, but after i spent awhile in the byzantine section and all that middle age european stuff, i said screw it and headed straight for the modern section. thank god i dropped art history, because i DO NOT have the patience for all this stuff. i just want to like what i like. and i know it's cliche, but boy do i like the impressionist stuff. it's just so much more ALIVE than everything else. they had ROOMS FULL of van gogh. i almost wanted to cry.
and monet....
and matisse....
and on and on and on....
and then inevitably we arrive at the contemporary stuff, where we find THIS crap:
i don't care how much someone wants to try convincing me that pollack, or any of this other canvas-painted-one-color crap, is art; i'm going to continue plugging my ears and singing la-la-la-la-la-la because it's terrible and i'll NEVER believe them.i had a good time, though. but right when my museum-weariness hit its peak and i HAD to get outta there, the second i stepped out of the building it started bucketing rain, so i had to stand around for an hour and wait for it to stop.
HOWEVER i did happen to have the energy to take photos of my street and apartment building when i got back! here's my street:
and here's the distance from my front steps to central park:
and here's my apartment! it's #27. you can kind of see the number above the door. it's the building second from the right.
okay i'm all posted out. i need to go find a proper blouse to wear to work tonight. but before i sign off, i thought i'd post one last picture. i found this one in the depths of my computer and i thought it was funny cause johnny looks funny.
