sometimes it might be nice to hide inside a wall...


and sometimes it might be nice to watch the reactions of the people passing by. I just really liked this image and wanted to share, but I just checked out the artist's website and it is pretty awesome. Some of the images are very sad, but some of them are ridiculously funny.

I think one of the designers interviewed for the documentary Helvetica said that when you see something and wish that you had done that .... well, that is saying something. Anyway, I feel that way about some of these photographs. Check out his website. I am sure you can figure out which ones I am talking about.

starry night at the moma




Thanks to D and C's wonderful wedding present, Mr. SD and I went to the members only night at MoMA. It was still crowded, but the paintings were worth it. There were also letters to his brother and other with sketches of future paintings. Mr SD wondered why I didn't send him letters with drawings in them, and I pointed out that we were in the same place, so no need for letters, but he objected. How will they display these drawings in the museum when I am famous?

This painting, Starry Night Over the Rhine, is my favorite. I think it would look perfect over my bed, matching perfectly with my quilt.

It was nice to wander around the rest of the museum, which was basically empty. We got to see a pretty interesting Miro exhibit, which i think i enjoyed more than Mr. SD, but hopefully he liked some of it. There is also a huge video installation that opens next week, but they had the videos on last night. I hope to go back and get the full experience soon.

Mr SD and I felt so adventurous and cultured wandering the city on a Tuesday night.

Thanks D & C!
