Tutorials are Over!
Update:
We are done with our tutorials. I'm sad to say good-bye to Jerry, but it's also comforting to know I have no more work to do. Well, we do have two more lectures tommorow morning, but that's besides the matter.
I want to update some pictures, but I'm unable to because I'm on a computer that is not compatable with the dock/camera.
We saw Les Miserables today in London, Queen's theatre I believe. It was quite excellent indeed. We also went to the National Gallery which held some truly amazing paintings. At one point, there was a random modern gallery. In this gallery, there was a video of a rabit slowly getting devoured by maggots. It was one of those things where you want to look away b/c of it's rupugnance, but you just can't. It was kind of amusing because at some points, the people watching the video would simultaneously go "Ewwwww" or "Egggghhh" at the gross parts. Then we would all laugh because of the incredibly weird situation. It was a once in a life-time thing for sure.
Also, about 2 days ago we went to the Modern Arts Museum. One word: rediculous. Some of the art was just simply not art. The best example I know of is this...
Picture an old 80's TV. It is very industrial, all metal, very simplistic. It sits on one of those rolly-carts that holds tv's, like the ones used at school. Now, this TV is underneath another TV, which happnens to be the same model but upside down. The first TV showed a repeating video of a man in a green elf costume with a red backdrop. The elf is jumping up in down in frustration, knees and legs both going up and down at the same time as he jumps and hits the ground, and during this he is shouting "No! No! No! No! No! No! No!" each time he lands on the ground. The TV on top of the other shows another video of an elf. However, it's an upside-down video and the elf is red elf with a green costume. He is doing the " No! No ! No! No! No!". These 2 video's would repeat itself over and over. So, yeah....I have no freakin' clue what it was supposed to symbolize. I think the best part was looking at the people "studying" the "art" and trying to interpret it. Oh man...won't forget that.
Anywho, I'm off to head back to ultimate frisbe. I'm hoping I will be ahead of the game when the real college comes around;)
