scrapbooking...
scary as it may be, i guess i'm going to be taking this on as a project - i want Dominic to have a cool scrapbook, and as Fairy Godmother, i figure it's my duty to provide one. making the trip to Michael's was a bit intimidating - there's sooooo much stuff out there!! i suppose some of the intimidating parts are thinking about being creative again. i sure as hell don't do much of that, particularly since i've been unemployed.

What pisses you off?
*looks at the current world's population* You must have a lot of frustration then.

the indianapolis museum of art...
kat, john and i went to the IMA today...it was good, except john was a bit too squirmy - i like to take my time looking at the artwork - he wanted to rush to the one thing he thought was really cool and then kinda blew off stuff we found interesting. *shrug*
i really enjoyed Amorphic Robot Works: The Feisty Children, a hands-on exhibit showing from May 6 through July 31, 2005 - as the website explains:
Amorphic Robot Works: The Feisty Children is an installation of ten robotic “children” that lurch, shuffle and gyrate to their own individual beat. Amorphic Robot Works (ARW), a collective of artists, engineers and technicians based in New York City who share artistic inspiration and work together to create robotic performances and installations, developed The Feisty Children. Led by artistic director Chico MacMurtrie, ARW invites viewers to consider the relationships between people, nature and machines.
as far as paintings, i most enjoyed Edward Hopper's Hotel Lobby - i've seen Hopper's works in books and such previously and found them interesting, but seeing a work up close and personal makes for such a different experience. the museum describes the work in saying, "Urban loneliness and the banality of everyday existence are persistent themes in Hopper's paintings." - perhaps it's because i'm really relating to those issues nowadays that the painting really stood out to me - lonelieness, banality...yup, that pretty much sums it up for me.

long time no blog...
it becomes glaringly obvious when the depression really kicks in - i don't blog. things come up, and i think "oh, i should blog about that" but then it never happens. or absolutely nothing comes up, and i think "i should blog about that" but then that never happens either.
gonna try to get back into the swing of things now...
