MoMA-WHOA MAMA

All right kiddies. Today I went to Museum of Modern Arts [MoMA] and below are a few pictures that I really liked and some that I just posted for the hell of it. I don't want to comment on some of them because I know they will be inappropriate and readers may perceive me as "below" those of "high/high brow" culture. What is that in reference to?-it's in my readings that you probably don't want me to write about. So I'll spare you the lecture on urban lesson 101.

My sleepiness is catching up to me. It was very hard to wake up this morning... mid-morning... then mid-afternoon. As soon as lecture was over, which was 10am, Gina and I hurriedly headed back to take a nap until 10.50am, went to discussion until 11.30, went back to the dorms to nap again until 12.50pm. Right not I'm just reading some more and answering study guide questions for our upcoming quiz. I'm freaking and stressing out dude. I know it's summer and it's New York-blah blah blah. It's in my nature to care about my grades regardless of where I am, who I am with, what I'm doing, or what's going on in my private life. And it'll be a really sad thing to get B's for this program. Really sad. And I need another GPA booster.

Enough about that and more about my experience at the museum. I really enjoyed and appreciated many of the paintings and pieces, but as I got to the abstract art...dude no. I don't like abstract art. Call me old-fashioned, traditionalist, unappreciative, etc. but I get really skeptical and question abstract pieces. What do you guys think? Am I being too closed off here? Anyway, before continuing and sounding like a jerk, I'll just move on to...

Liz, Nina, Gina, and I might go to Serendipity today. We've been planning this since last week, but never had the chance to. I guess Serendipity is so popular and demanded that we even need to make reservations. What is Serendipity? Uh-not too sure, but I'll find out and blog about that next. I think it's a really delicious desert place.

Forgot the exact name... Marx in the corner to think about what you've done...something like that.
"The Corsage." That's all I'm going to say for this one.
Is this a painting or real? Guess.
Andy Warhol's Campbell Soup.
Various images.
Okay. Yeah. This one kinda disgusted me. I believe all those lines are actual hair.
I really like this one. "Prince Amongst Thieves." Real Beauty
Apart of the abstract art. Controversial because the artist is trying to make a statement about the whole theory on abstract art...blah blah blah.
In memory of her death.
The fridge actually pops out.
Outside view from the sculpture garden.
I'm a good photography, gyea?
What to write for this one...

SERENDIPITY!!! omgosh i want to go there again DROOOL~~~~ x) i feel like its soo long since i went to new york~ :D
i feel ya on the abstract art thing, but i dont know, after taking art history i feel like i have to appreciate it haha most of the artists are actually very skilled artists that can do the "real" things cause artists in the old days are mostly traditionally trained. like picasso, he can actually draw realist art but he chose to do abstract and be different, soo i thought that was really interesting hehe!:D
