I love all sorts of museums because you can never be sure what's around the next corner.



Nenuphar (French for water lily) was built at Andrew Calder's workshop in France for the 1968 opening of the Smithsonian American Art Museum. It is one of the artist's stabiles, or fixed sculptures, and the lyrical shapes cut from sheet steel convey the same gentle, graceful movement as his mobiles. Six silhouettes evoke the dark reflections of the water lily's flowering stalk and curling leaves. In fact, Calder conjured the entire intricate world of a windswept pond, varying the tendrils to suggest the shadowy presence of birds and fish among the lilies.



OK...I sort of get it now.



The cool thing about sculpture to me is how it looks in it's surroundings.

He makes me feel...

Pretty & girlie & just a little bit naughty.

“Once I saw a duck walking down the street…so I went into Subway and ordered two pieces of bread, and they informed me that they could not do that, like there was some special rule at Subway that two pieces of bread weren't allowed to touch. So the woman asked me what I wanted on the sandwich and I said I do not care it is for a duck, and she was like oh then it's free. I was not aware that ducks eat for free at Subway. It's like…give me a chicken fajita sub, but don't worry about ringing it up, it is for a duck.”

My team got rained out.

So my opening day is really tomorrow.

As I watched Baseball Tonight on ESPN

I thought how odd it was that so many of the highlights of the day

involved spitting.

I just want to see some fine baseball being played.

But now in HD clarity...I have to see arcing spit blobs being spewn EVERYWHERE.

I do sort of like the rainbows that can be seen gleaming off the gross saliva

(ok, that was really disgusting)

But that's beside the point.

Why the constant need to spit?!

My lunch was so pretty I had to photograph it,

Avocado & cucumber wrapped in seaweed & rice with rolled in sesame seeds.

So tasty.


Hey, don't make that face, have you tried it?

Lately I've been eating lots of ginger (I love the color too).
