after that Karl decided to take me to MOMA (museum of modern art) to expand my mind and my intellectual quotient....adele decided to stay home and get some stuff done.
so the brothers headed off.....the entry is 20 $ each...but luckily since karl is faculty at new school he got both of us free passes.
to summarize MOMA...it is a cool looking building (there is a mini helicopter dangling from the ceiling as soon as you enter)...consisting of 6 floors....full of sculptures, paintings and other such arty stuff i didn't understand.
i mean if you saw some of the stuff hanging on the walls you would wonder what art is really all about. there is stuff that is like a white canvas with a red line running horizontally and it got some description like it is the "positive reassurance of blah blah blah, that combines the different layers of blah blah blah"...you get my drift.
luckily they were having a special DALI exhibition as well....his paintings and films......that was something i understood.....really nice stuff...all really twisted crazy ass madness is the best way to describe it....he collaborated with Hitchcock for a movie and even did one with Walt Disney...unfortunately the Disney one was never completed as it was considered too daring for its time.....after DALI died, the artists at Disney got together and finished the animated movie he was working on as a tribute...i saw it , it was brilliant. i think its called DESTINO or something. you can read about it here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
after the museum we decided to go watch a few movies that had absolutely nothing intellectual about them. so we headed to the theater....karl and me decided to start with mummy 3.....it was very very very disappointing.....or maybe i ws being too harsh cause i just had a bi intellectual boost at MOMA.
well we finished off with that but still needed something more, so decided to go watch pineapple express. NOW THAT IS A GREAT FLICK. of course i wouldn't recommend it to everyone, especially those with scruples, but i loved it. thought it was fabulous. adele didn't come though as she was stuck somewhere.
after the second movie which ended at 11 pm...karl and me went to a nearby place to eat hummus....the waitress there had a hard time understanding my Indian accent...so i just did my godfather voice for her and we got along splendidly. After a nice filling mean we returned home.
We wished my great uncle Russel (or uncle R as some of you might know) as it is his birthday today and i had a nice chat with my buddy (and more) Clyde online.
its 3 am now and my pillows are begging for my attention
