mmmm paris

i went to the pompidou after class today... it's always quite lovely. the view from the top of the skeletal building is amazing. to your right, sacre-coeur; to your left, le tour eiffel and notre dame; strait in front of you, la defense. and of course the art is incredible. matisse, picasso, calder, modigliani, chagall, etc, etc. 

here's a kupka i really liked:

there's a really (supposedly) nice calder and kandinsky exhibit there right now... i'd wanted to go to the calder exhibit when it was at the whiteny but never had the chance. i'll have to go back soon. 

i must apologize for the lack of pictures on this blog. it's not that i'm not posting them... it's that i'm not taking them... at least not on my digital camera. i find that constantly shooting pictures at what you see keeps you from actually seeing things and experiencing them. but i have been taking out geoff's old canon film camera. learning has been fun--though i completely ruined my first roll of film. it's all in the experience. 

yesterday was lovely as well. a big group of us organized a picnic at le parc floral on the very eastern side of paris. they have a jazz festival there every sunday so we thought we'd go check it out. wine, cheese, baguette, nutella, and jazz. doesn't get better than that. 

must go find a sandwich to eat for dinner. it's CARBS galore here in paris. i'm not complaining.
