jj has a 2 week vacation, but i just started working. p decided to go with her somewhere. he shopped around for cheapish tickets and they went off to valencia, spain. meanwhile, i invited my friend, andy, who is living in berlin, to come visit. i’ve known andy for almost 30 years now. we started out in computer graphics at around the same time in new york, though we never have worked together. he arrived saturday morning. we talked a lot, as we always do when we’re together. he was only here for a day and a half. i took him to the beaubourg cafe for an omelet, ran into some friends wandering by, and then he went to see the edvard munch show. i had already seen the show. it was ok. edvard munch is best known for the painting “the scream” which is a fun painting. i didn’t care too much for the rest of his work, or his style. interestingly, the more “realistic” self portrait that he did, he considered his best work. this indicated to me that maybe he just wasn’t very good. maybe his images came out the way they did in spite of him trying to paint realistically. anyway, while andy went to the exhibit, i went to the beaubourg library. what an amazing space! i want to send jj here to study – a way of getting out of the house, but still studying.
