Some Things I learned Recently

Kim seems to be seeking revenge for my blogging hiatus. I will hold down the fort until she feels she can return. So. Here's some other things I've learned here.


1. Amsterdam is not that fun with your parents.

2. There are a lot of stairs in Paris.

3. There's also a lot of bread. Of the 'Really Fucking Good' variety.

4. Americans and french should never date. Bad chemical reactions may occur.

5. They all lied. 'French' fries in france BLOW.

6. Never trust Momma Greene to know anything about technology.

7. Make sure you have a flashlight before you plug anything in in Europe.

8. I have seen a good amount of people actually wearing berets here. Laughter ensues. Beret wearing french people don't tend to love me.





Finally,

I met Omec from Legends of the Hidden Temple the other day..........





He said whats up.









A la prochaine...

Artsy Fartsy

Went to the Louvre the other day, holy massive packed amazing awe striking building.

I don't know if you know anything about the museum but basically when the Orsay train station was made into a museum they moved all works completed after 1850 from the Louvre to the new Musee d'Orsay. SO, everything in the louvre is hella old. They have decided however to try and incorporate contemporary works into the exhibits. They basically pick more modern artists, let them choose any wing in the museum they want and give them carte blanche to 'stimulate a fresh approach' to the old art.

When I was there the contemporary artist was Jan Fabre, and his works were dispersed throughout the 16th century paintings from France and N.Europe. Honestly I dont get how a coffin made out of beetles (seriously, green gnarly beetles) or a wall of dead birds and skulls has to do with religious paintings but his work was interesting to say the least.

There was one piece I loved though, it's a little figure, all musculature with a shovel and a pick digging into a brain. It's called

"L'Artiste Explore Le Monde"
aka: The artist exploring the world.







excuse the iphone blur, but i love the concept. more from my journey at a later date... till then
