Dia de Los Muertos
thanks to butterflydrming for getting us out of the house. this was the display at the Seattle Art Museum tonight. there was music, and free food, and coloring sheets that i'm looking forward to completing: a skeleton in a flying saucer, and one proudly displaying a fish he's just caught. i think L went for the one that was snorkeling.

we got cheap tickets to the Louis Comfort Tiffany show (where C and i lost butterflydrming and L); the collection is stunning. i've seen better windows elsewhere (like the Met and Corning) but what was notable for me were the pieces of home decor. the collection includes fire screens and stair railing, as well as Tiffany's own surprisingly utilitarian table. i had no idea how extensively he had traveled nor how many north african influenced designs came out of that studio. definitely worth seeing.

Edit: my very favorite piece was a mere doorstop; an ostrich egg sized glob of clear glass (with the slightest aqua tint) with two goldfish inside.</td>

I love the Day of the Dead photos. I wish I had been able to go.

OK, so there is definatly something weird about this entry. It is always at the top of my friends list but just the comment and music line.

All yesterday I thought that no one was posting cause of it.

PS. don't worry about it just wanted to share.

So even weirder - I just noticed that the actual content of this post is appearing in the correct place but without the comment link and the mood/music lines.

You've just crossed over into the Twilight Zone.

We hoped for you!

I think that's LJ having a nervous breakdown, as it does every now & again.

Those pix came out splendidly. What about snowboarding dude?

Yes, we lost you! We looked around before leaving the exhibit, then left thinking that you were already out. Must not have been. When, after museum store browsing, we got our coats & my bag, we saw yours still in the rack, we knew that you were still in there somewhere. Ah, well. It was time to catch a bus home, and I'm sure you two didn't mind having *some* time to yourselves.

We both had fun. Glad you joined us!

It was the evil head cold of doom. I didn't go into work Wednesday or Thursday. I'm better but fear of relapse kept me from the Red Elvises last night too.
