a good day to be art
On Sunday, I went to the Royal Ontario Museum with a friend who was visiting Toronto. I try to be a tourist in my own city once in a while... I find it makes me stop taking my surroundings for granted.
It had been years since I had been to the ROM. There are extensive exhibits of art and artifacts from China, Japan, and Korea. They made me want to live more simply and drink green tea.
In the Déco Lalique exhibition, this piece caught my eye:
It's the "Martigues" charger with a beautiful fish design... its peacefulness seemed right at home, upstairs from the Buddha statues and Japanese tea sets.
artist: René Lalique
It was brutally hot on Sunday, so I welcomed the chance to be in a cool, dry place. It occurred to me that art gets to be in better air than a lot of people get to breathe.
And for a different take on things with Korean heritage, I finished off the night by re-watching Notorious C.H.O. featuring my hero, Margaret Cho.

I like the stupid fucking glass too.
Salem, that was so funny!
I went to the AGO when I was there last. What a nice museum. Hope to see more of your museums.
Completely off topic, but FYI:
To the right of Monkey Island, off in the distance, a forest fire rages, red sky and billowing smoke.
ps. Cho is brilliant.
Sorry :(

don't worry, Tim. a) I don't think you have love handles; b) you're still my hero (for getting a date even after projectile vomiting in someone's presence
