Field Trip!

Numero dos on our media excursion tour. The Bill Viola exhibit was pretty nifty. Lots of fancy big time sound work. Everything was a little bit "slo-mo" though. Who got creeped out in the green field with the whispering voice? Pretty eerie. The last installment got me. There was one all done in blue. A guy diving in or out of the water or something. The magic was what it was before you knew it was just some displaced water. The effect it had on me was something I remember from high school. I used to always wonder what it would be like to lose everything. How it would feel to be away from everyone and everything but not dead. I used to weigh the good and bad trying to determine if it would be a curse or a blessing. My eyes were glued to that screen as I felt with each passing second the distance and serenity that grew between myself and all that I know. I would shudder or weep at the thought when I was growing up and the reason why I didn't this time is probably the answer to why getting older is bitter. The mystery is gone. I start to imagine sometimes that being senile is a longing for that naive youthfulness.
Anywho, it was a cool trip. Great gift shop too, the Murakami and Nara knick knacks sure beat all the gold plated Americana you find in galleries back home. Our group could have used a little more patriotism towards class however. Many of us got split up which is unfortunate because I understand Ron was buying at a coffee shop where happy gatherers celebrated Mariko's birthday! Omedeto gozaimasu, Mari-chan!!
By the way, I posted my International assignment on Google video and it looks, well, like crap! The pictures, once transfered to Google, came out horrible compared to what they really look like. Does anyone know how I can fix it up so that it looks all puurtty the way it should?! Check it above
