Blog Neglect

If my blog were a houseplant, it would most likely be dead from lack of watering right now. Since my need for human social interaction outweighs my need to write for fun, poor little blog has suffered egregious neglect these days. Graduate school and the old job have kept me on my toes, but luckily I have managed to include some champagne filled happy hours, manicures with friends, and some lovely dates with the boyfriend.

The other day we headed off to MOMA for the afternoon where there are some really great exhibits. From Diego Rivera to an awesome exhibit called "Foreclosed," which looks at the relationship between city planning and the housing crisis, or "Sweet Violence," a fascinating look at the relationship between domestic violence and the portrayal of women in the media, I was loving exploring this mecca of modern art! Though it was freezing on the day that we went, I have also made a note to self/why on earth have I never done this before--to make sure that I visit The Modern and have a few drinks on the terrace of the MOMA sculpture garden. It looks like the perfect summer early evening spot for a glass of white wine.

Lichtenstein...a favorite 

Warhol

A piece that, like many works of modern art, has me questioning what makes something art...

 

I was trying to look like the "Billy goat gruff," but instead look like a poster-child for Prozac... :) oops.
