I have a new outlook on life. It's called I don't care. Not that I don't care about life; just that when someone says "hey Ell, did you know (insert some complete shit that's going on that I have no control over)?" I will just respond "I don't care." Caring causes too much trouble.
Today one of my friends told me he had seen a movie that made him think of me. I looked it up and it turned out to be a low budget movie about over sexed gay men who become zombies. Sometimes I wonder what my friends think of me.
Yesterday was a good day. Sunday night Jess and I went in to DC and stayed the night at dad's apartment so that yesterday we could go to the American Art museum to see the Normal Rockwell exhibit. Amazing. I love Norman Rockwell and his pictures are even more impressive in person. I loved it.
We also saw two exhibits in the national portrait gallery. One was "Elvis at 21: Photographs by Alfred Wertheimer" which was exactly what it sounds like and very enjoyable. And the second was called "Hide/Seek" and was about the sexual difference in the making of modern American portraiture and how art reflected society's changing view on sexuality. (yes, I copied that from the brochure) It had portraits from the 1800s up through the Stonewall riots, the AIDS epidemic and today. It was also great. (though to me any exhibit that contains something by Keith Haring is great) A lot of the pieces can be seen at the exhibits website and is worth looking at.
After the museums we met up with a friend who lives in the area for lunch, the botanical garden and the national tree because you need to do the stereotypical christmasy things.
Also I went to a cupcake shop for the first time in my life today. I was not at all disappointed.
It was a nice day. A good break from life.
My brother comes home today, my oldest sister tomorrow, and I still have to do all of my christmas shopping.
