This weekend was fun, and including doing this with Vera.


Yesterday, I had a really big fight/argument with my parents. After the fog cleared, I realized that I had a paper due in which I had to compare two pieces from the MoMa, and it's due Wednesday. So I got my ass up this morning and went. The drive was nice, and thankfully my dad felt obliged to give me $20 for toll and museum admission. When I got into the MoMa ticket line, a woman came up to me and said she had an extra ticket, then asked if I wanted hers. I was like PHEWWW, now I wont be as broke as I could be.
Upon entrance, I was overwhelmed. Ever since taking my first art history class, seeing artwork I recognize is like running into a celebrity! So, here's some of the things I got to see.

Piet Mondrian



Kathe Kollwitz



Diego Rivera



Roy Lichtenstien


(I was so awestricken by this, it's a recreation of Monet's Rouen Cathedral series! And I love my boy Roy!)

Andy Warhol



Mark Rothko



Kiki Smith



Frida Kahlo



Vasily Kandinsky



Georgio de Chirlco


(I didn't know who this was initially, but I love this nonetheless.)

Rene Magritte



And as I left, the light coming through the sky-window in the MoMa was awesommmme.



My next adventure was in Berkeley for my tattoo appointment. Or actually, Oakland, but Berkeley is like 2 blocks down the street. My artist Ellie at FTW gave me a tough/long coloring session. Now that I'm home I can finally relax. My body's been stressed since 10am. Here's the results.



EDIT: At the current time, 9:09am, 4/1/09.
I'm now up pretty damn early since my class is at 12:30. I have to now use the things I saw at the MoMa to write a comparative essay. Wish me luck.

The past week has flown by incredibly fast.

March 6 -- I got my haircut, and Dallas and I (mostly Dallas) made a cake for my mom.





Before:

After:


March 7 -- My mom's birthday. My family and I, plus Dallas, drove to Livermore to my paternal grandparents' house. I got $1000 for my birthday from my grandparents, and it felt awesome.

March 8 -- Drank with Vera, played Scattegories at Kevin's, and then got in a huge fight/standoff with Dallas.

March 9 -- Hungover at school, worst day of classes in a while.

March 10 -- Went to the dialysis center with Vera and her dad, went shopping in Berkeley, saw some fools line up for the Real World casting. After a while we picked Vera's dad up and went to Walnut Creek, bought an outfit at H&M, went home and slept for 3 hours.

March 11 -- School was productive. Around 11pm, Dallas finally spoke to me after 3 days. We talked and cleared some things up, thank god.

March 12 -- I worked from 8-10am, and hungout with Dallas. After eating at Mimi's, we went and looked at kitties in the Petsmart adoption center.





March 13 -- I wake up, and I'm 21! Exciting. Dallas comes over and takes me to Black Bear for breakfast. Then we decided to go to Berkeley and check out a tattoo place, because we had a few hours before we needed to do anything. I set up an appointment for the following day. Later, I shower and beautify (with Vera's help) and we had some champagne.







My family and I, plus Dallas and Vera, go to dinner at Vic Stewart's in Brentwood.



Post-dinner, Vera and I take Bart to South San Francisco to meet up with her cousin & friends. We drink as porn blasts on the tv (very entertaining...), and finally we head out to a club. The club was packed, we head to a bar called Skylark, I think. It got boring, so we went back to the initial club, called Mighty. A couple of hours of dancing led to severe hunger, comforted by Burger King soon after. Then I slept the whole way home.

March 14 -- Got up and Dallas came to pick me up, then we picked up Vera and headed to Berkeley for my 2pm tattoo appointment. We waited for an hour and a half before getting started, but I'm not complaining. I sat for 2 & 1/2 hours while Dallas and Vera smoked and walked around, and sat with me. At 6pm we were finished, and went to Gypsy's for an extremely filling Italian dinner before driving home.



Several hours later, after sitting with the boys at Nick's house, I went out with Vera. First stop was a mexican party in "the village" which was a bust, then we picked up Tristan and went to a Concord party, which was fun. Two 40's later, I felt great, so I danced and laughed and enjoyed myself til 3:30am.



March 15 -- Today. Went into work and saw that I don't work this week. Oh well, because this weekend is Dallas's birthday weekend and we're going to LA to go to AdultCon and the Price is Right, fuck yeah!
Now I have homework, so, peace. :]
