the weekend!

i had a fantastic weekend, full of baking heaps of gingersnaps, indulging in the best squash soup ever {at four cafe in eagle rock for those of you who live nearby}, making beautiful christmas & hanukkah music with the mr., and shmoosing with my fellow therapists at the holiday party for my professional organization {there's really no warmer, safer, or friendlier place than a party full of therapists}.

saturday was free museum day for bank of america customers {the only benefit of such an evil empire}, so the mr. and i headed over to the LACMA {my first museum trip since moving to los angeles}.
i absolutely LOVE museums! there's just something about being surrounded by creativity, history, and such deep emotions. i always feel enriched and inspired after a trip to a museum. the LACMA has a great collection, so i was in art heaven!


my favorite piece was this massive, curved steel, labyrinth installation by richard serra ~ just beautiful!


and of course, we had to have some fun with the lanterns out front.


we had a great time, but it sure made me miss my de young and SFMOMA back home. i'm hoping i'll get to visit the MOCA soon {which just might give my favorite sf museums a run for their money}. and! we found out that the tim burton exhibit is coming to the LACMA this summer, which i'm completely over the moon about!

do you have a favorite museum, art genre, or exhibit?

.408 CheyTac Fredo Viola Aug 29, 10:51 AM This is a real bummer to me. I pride myself on making as little an impact on the environment as I can, but make my living using computers to make music... and I use all Apple products... so I'm feeling really guilty about this right now. 408 CheyTac final.jpg appleguy123 Apr 22, 10:32 PM Because it is the third longest example of drift on PRSI (for now) and since appleguy123 started that one, of course he wants it to continue. Caught! :D Knowing how the PRSI works one naive bump could help me achieve the record. Maadi-Griffin 50BMG Pistol Draythor Apr 13, 04:33 PM GGJstudios Thanks, man. I connect to other drives so rarely that I have never bothered to look this up myself. OT: Does anyone one know why Apple hasn't got this built in? Licensing rights? quot;Is life so dear or peace so AlBDamned Aug 29, 11:14 AM zero evidence, other than my gut feeling. Then that's nothing but semi-diluted Apple fanboi-ism which is, in my op

Suddenly an unconscious Argentinean fell through my roof. He was quickly joined by a dwarf dressed as a nun.

No 211 - Moulin Rouge! Director - Baz Luhrmann I remember very vividly when I first saw this film. I was in sixth form when it came out, and was a student of 'Theatre Studies', so there was naturally a lot of talk about this overtly theatrical piece. However, I was not convinced that I would enjoy it, it looked overtly soppy, a chicks film. Finally I was convinced to go and see it (Tom Done, who was in the year above and who was utterly terrifying, though who is now a good friend, won me over by stating the line I have used as a title. Surely a film MUST be good if it features unconscious Argentinians and cross dressing dwarfs!). So one evening I went to the Regent cinema in Wantage ( now shut down ) with my best friends Hanna and Richard . The film completely blew me away, and is the only film that has managed to firmly grab my attention in the first second, as the curtains open and the conductor arrives to play the 20th Century Fox theme. It uses the production company's
