Today, Mal, Afton, Carrie, and I conquered the Museum of Modern Art on the Upper West Side. Being more accustomed to the likes of Monet, Rodin, and a little Picasso here and there, I wasn't expecting this to be much different. Alas, I was very mistaken. Apparently one can rip out a piece of blank paper, scribble on it with a sharpie, and don't forget to add the aforementioned "phallic symbol" and voila, you've got art!
Now, I am a fairly "artsy" person, I mean I was an art history major for an entire semester and I just can't wrap my head around this form of art. Granted there were some beautiful pieces in the museum (Warhol, and Starry Night), but all in all the most I gathered from MOMA was that modernist painters are complete pervs. End of story.
On a more appropriate note, we then ventured to the Bastille Day celebration on 60th St. near the park. It turned out to be more of a glorified street fair but we did acquire some delicious crepes (spinach and mozzarella mmmm) and enjoyed them at the fountain in the park...very chic.
Tomorrow starts one of my last weeks at a + o. Its so weird that I only have three weeks left here, I feel like its only been a day!
Miss you,
