Blogging Blues

So my keyboard broke on my old laptop and I was bumming other people's to check email and whatnot. Today, my dad brought me a new laptop and now the internet isn't working! How ironic. I'm borrowing my roommates now to update my blog.

Saturday I ventured into the city again with Dave. I had to go to the Sidney Goodman exhibition at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts Museum for my drawing class. I have to say I was impressed with Goodman's work, but overall I was disappointed in the collection there. Waste of $12.00.

It was fun to get really into the city again, this time it was more entertaining because we had to pick a theme for our pictures. I chose to do couples, and I saw/met some pretty eccentric people. I also sort of themed "shapes" because ever since my 2D class all I have been able to see anywhere are shapes, shapes, shapes!!! I dissect everything down into simple shapes and it's driving me crazy! I suppose it's good though, considering I'm an art student.

I saw the ultimate "couple" while walking through city hall to get on the subway, a bridal party was in the center getting their wedding pictures taken. But for risk of looking like the biggest creeper in the entire world I didn't take a picture of the bride and groom. I was bummed, it would have gone so well with my theme!

I guess we looked like uber tourists because a homeless guy posed for us and called his wife over for a picture, welcomed us to Philadelphia and then asked for some money. But it turned out to be a really cute couples picture.

Today I got into the city again, I had a field trip to go to at Penn's archaeological museum. It was pretty neat, they have an impressive collection for a University. I want to get back when the Ancient Near East collection returns. We walked around Penn's campus for a while after, it's so gorgeous there. I had Quizno's for lunch! Totally made my day.
