yesterday, i spent a very relaxing day in dolores park with pevil & d. it was a gorgeous day. it felt really great to feel the sun beating down on me. however, the morning got off to a rocky start with 2 new students not being able to find their host moms at the airport, but once that crisis was solved i was able to kick back and relax. even though i piled on the spf 30, i still somehow managed to get red. go figure. before heading home, we stopped off for some cocktails at toad hall in the castro. they have an outside patio which is a perfect spot for afternoon drinks. i finished off my evening at misty's. she had an impromptu wine/cheese gathering. it was a pretty awesome saturday if i do say so myself. just where will i end up next is any one's guess.

I read this great tribute article this morning about margaret moth, a cnn camerawoman, who died today. She sounded like a true pioneer & an amazing woman. Along with the article, which can be found here, there were two videos from a documentary made about her "fearless: the margaret moth story". She said something in the video that really stuck with me, "I think life's sort of like a game of tennis. You have no choice over how that ball comes to you, but it's how you hit it back that counts." Just where will I end up next is anyone's guess.

this week flew by. did it even happen? i was quite busy with teaching, doing my ac duties, & taking students out on excursions.
on monday, i took a group of student to the sfmoma who just so happens to be celebrating their 75th anniversary. most of the exhibits were geared to their anniversary, 75 years of looking forward. there were three exhibits: the anniversary show, focus on artists, & the view from here. i think i enjoyed myself more than the students seeing that they were waiting for me to finish. i discovered a lot of new artists as well as rediscovered some familiar ones. with a mixture of paintings, sculptures, photography, etc., there's a bit of everything to get the artistic vibes flowing. some highlights for me included: jackson pollock's male + female; mark rothko's tentacles of memory; david parks' bathers; clyford still's untitled; bruce conner's looking glass; robert rayschen's scanning and untitled [that had an image of jesus]; arshile gorky's tracking down guiltless doves; paul klee's fast getroften; & barry mcgee's picture wall. the list could go on but i don't want to bore you too much. i also apologize in advance if i misspelled any one's name.
i was particular intrigued with nicholas nixon's brown sisters. this is a series of photos capturing the brown sisters, one of whom is his wife, since 1975 . it's quite fascinating to see how people change over time.
there was always a piece in the pop art section that i liked simply because it was of jaclyn smith. yes, i'll always be an angels fan. i forgot to write down the artist's name. it was an image of jaclyn taken from a tabloid that was blew up and the eyes had been cut out. the headline read, "jaclyn smith says..."
yesterday, i took a small group to see alice in wonderland in 3-d. as much as i wanted to love this movie, i felt that it was just ok. my expectations of the 3-d effects were quite high especially after seeing avatar but instead of amazing me they simply left me empty. the story itself wasn't that bad but again being a tim burton film i wanted so much more. it's definitely entertaining but not worth viewing in 3-d. some of the students had a hard time understanding it because of the accents. the best part of the movie was whenever helena bonham carter appeared. she's an amazing actress. just where will i end up next is any one's guess.
