finally got to changing the color scheme; this is what happens when i have time on my hands. but it makes blogging a much more pleasurable experience.

so, i completed my motorcycle classes today :D. but really -__-; cuz they started at 7am so i had to be up at 5:30 the past two days. motorcycles are not easy to handle. i was so excited to get on a bike--until i actually did. the actual execution is so stressful! too much coordination for this lacking individual. and my instructor was this ex-military dude who was yelling left and rite. so scary.

i think if i do get a bike, i'm gonna get a nice little, AUTOMATIC, vespa. practical and cute. sexiness is overrated. and riding bikes is not sexy w/ all the required gear and concentration. nicely dressed gq guy in a convertible versus bright orange/blue/yellow/green leather-clad guy with helmet hair on a bike ~ now do that for a girl. kuL while the bike is moving, but once they get off and walk into a restaurant/bar/class, it's gq guy hands down.

latest and greatest eye candy: sfmoma. nice variegated and sizeable collection of modern art. i actually liked the tuttle exhibit: simple, great use of space, and a loyalty to basic geometrics. there were a couple outstanding pieces, just because of the sheer work that probably went into making the piece (ie. a animated piece composed of graphite sketches erased and redrawn and captured frame by frame, and a huge room of trees with a prison window and running sink which you mistakenly think is a river or waterfall as you approach the piece). the building is a piece in itself, especially the top floor. FIRST TUESDAYS FREE EVERY MONTH :D. and now that i have a stable art appreciation buddy i am going to milk that baby.

but my favorite piece at the museum--three blank white canvasses side by side, about 4' by 6' each. the artist's inspiration? he wanted to capture the essence of a white painting. and the description so sincerely stated the purpose of the painting, attributing deep social significance to it, that i gained quite a respect for this artist who could pull that shit off. artist's are such great bull shitters. i think i almost laughed out loud. my favorite.

latest and greatest triumph: not my license. i got the romeo&juliet dvd for $6.99 out of the bargain bucket at albertsons, and i've wanted this movie forever. score.

it's all about the simple pleasures.
