Yesterday I went to Art Chicago. My favorite artist was Chul-Hyun Ahn who does optical illusion art sculptures, mostly using fluorescent light bulbs and mirrors. Far out.
Each sculpture is probably less than 1 foot deep. However, the illusion makes it seem as if they go on and on indefinitely. These are about 15 feet tall and 15 feet wide, each with colored lights that switch and dance.
Last night I went to Prom. I saw lots of good friends and danced to all of the techno songs. The food was even good. I'm so glad that I went.
(I love this kid)I'm working on a cool spanish project right now. We're supposed to write a telenovela (spanish soap opera) and proceed to film it and act it out awkwardly with very little resources available. My group's storyline includes climbing trees, amnesia, pregnancy and a cliffhanger ending.
Tonight we filmed the romantic dinner scene at Taco Bell. We made sure to have a random Mexican family in the background of the shot at all times, so it would be as realistic as possible. When we got done speaking rudimentary spanish, the dad from the Mexican family told us that his son did that same project last year, at New Trier, in Conversational Spanish class. I didn't believe him at first, but it in fact was just a very odd coincidence!
After Taco Bell I went to Hackney's to wait for a friend to get off work. As I was sitting in the lobby, a middle aged man approached me and said, "Do you like cats?"
I told him I did. He sifted through his wallet and pulled out a business card that said "Buf
fy the Cat". He told me he made a book about Buffy the cat. He then whipped out his Blackberry and showed me pictures of Buffy, a cat dressed in outfits and forced to pose doing human activities, such as motorcycling and cooking. He told me to tell all my friends about the book, and since I thought he was cool, I decided to advertise it on my blog.
When I got home, my friend Jenn left me a sweet video to watch. I wish that buildings could always look like this, especially starting at 0:55-
