Imma Gettin Cultured!


About a week ago FB, some of our friends and myself all went to see the Nathan Sawaya: Replay exhibit at the Art and Culture Center of Hollywood. Now, keep in mind it's very hard for me to convince FB to go to any sort of anything with the title "museum" in it. So what could be so enticing to a 26 year old guy that he would actually get out of the house to go to a museum?

Why, Lego's of course.

Yep, the artist is famous for his work utilizing everyones favorite childhood medium of Lego's. Below are some pictures from the exhibit:



So neat how the pencil is "writing"...

That's about how I feel on a regular basis...



This one IS my favorite...I mean, how could it not be? It's SPACE related!

Hope you've enjoyed the pictures. I do recommend seeing it first hand. The museum itself is rather tiny and has some other odd things displayed. But hey, if you're a fan of "modern" art I'm sure you'd love it!
Maybe tomorrow I'll post an example of artwork that should be labeled "This is what's wrong with today's youth... though I probably would have done something similar at that age".

Misc Updates From Outer Space


I'm going to start out with the fact that I am extremely tired. I also have consumed quite a bit caffeine and sugar this morning. So I am extremely tired AND jittery. My brain feels like it is sloshing about in a swamp with gators chasing it.

The good news: I'm not really required to think today.
The bad news: I still can't go home yet or sleep.

Fuck.

So I will do a blog update! ::cheers::

Life update as of June 8, 2010...
FB is still jobless. It is driving me nuts. I can't justify bitching too much because he still manages to pay the bills. However he does owe me flowers. Which I CAN bitch about but don't because then I feel bad because he is jobless and doesn't have a lot of money.
My wedding is scheduled for December 12th. That's approximately 6 months away. I still have no details yet but I do have a dress. And I still very much want to elope. I also don't want to marry someone who is unemployed. That just seems to spell disaster.
If everything goes as planned I will be starting school in the fall. I'm nervous about committing to it though because I don't want it to interfere with my honeymoon plans...that aren't even made yet because I have no wedding plans...
I feel like I should stop worrying about all this because I know everything will work out okay just as it always does. Then I remember that things only work out okay probably because I do worry and then MAKE them work out okay. The worrying however is causing a lot of stress and it's nothing I can really change. So I am stuck.
I recently sponsored a child through World Vision. I haven't told anyone about that, not even FB. I am proud of myself and feel like I am doing at least one small thing to help out the world yet I don't feel he would understand. Kind of like that time he found out I was a closet environmentalist. Now I'm sort of being a closet humanitarian. Heh.
I am conflicted about many other things.
I do know, that despite all of our differences I do love FB with all my heart and want to start my family with him.
I never thought I would have a family. Often I feel as if I've been cast out of the one I was born with. I know they all love me dearly as I love them but I never felt that sense of secure belonging.
With FB I feel like I belong. Even if I don't feel like I belong in reality...I feel I belong with him. It's nice.

Well crap. This turned sappy.

Here's a picture of a mannequin with side-boob to help ease the sappiness:
