MONA

In an effort to culture the barbaric American, Jason and Jes brought me to Mona. The Museum of Old and New Art. As some of you may know, i'm not really the biggest art fan. I haven't really taken advantage of MOMA or the Met even though I live in new york. I'm more of the Museum of Natural History type of person. So we head out saturday around noon, which gave me a good excuse not to drink very much on friday night at the ICC (inter college cocktail). We invited Kim too, but she was not that functional post party. Got on a boat to get there, and resisted the urge to sing i'm on a boat. Get to the museum and have to walk up stairs. jason's knee is dislocated so that took a while. We still overtook some people though. Then we got to the actual museum part and they gave us ipods where we could read about and rate the art. Some of it was pretty cool, you held two bars and a light bulb started beating in time with your heart. mine was very slow. There was also this falling water that would spell out words. Then there was the red curtained rated r part. that stuff was weird and I will not deign to write about it. a family with a toddler behind us on the stairs said lets start at the bottom, where the red curtain stuff was. we did not warn them...the mummy was cool as were some of the other things, but overall it was art. shrug. fun time though because i was with fun people. the most memorable moment was when we were outside waiting for our bus. we were lying on bean bags and a cat walked by. Jes immediately got up and sprinted to catch it. The scene became even funnier because an 8 month old had the same reaction at the same time. Jes was faster. Later on the cat was walking by us again and jes sprang up to get it. it had the look of "oh god not again" and turned to walk away. too slow. the cat was dubbed Apple Sponge. Don't ask me why. So an interesting day, with animals. passover ended in time for dinner, so yay pizza
