I have been so slack in maintaining this journal and not because we've been doing nothing. Heck, if you count cleaning the air vent in the shower, 2 partial water changes in the aquarium AND buying a new heat lamp, I've been positively busy.
We're continuing to enjoy the GOMA's New Zealand Unnerved! exhibition - finding the films to be far more interesting than the non-movie art. This means that in the last month we've made 4 trips to the museum to watch feature films including "Black Sheep", zombie-like sheep attacking people - the ultimate fear of all Kiwis!, but NOT "Eagle versus Shark", which we'd seen before and would have definitely re-watched but we were called away by Tichu. Some of these have kept us in the city after dark, so we've been free to enjoy the city lights reflected on the Brisbane River.
We took in the new "Hats!" exhibition in the Brisbane Art Museum... but NOT the new exhibition by Ron Mueck - sculpture of the Giant Lady in Bed that we've loved so much.
This, by the way, is the failure of art. Our failure. Our unwillingness to stand in this line that doesn't end at the building but goes all the way to the BACK of the lobby and then makes a 180 degree turn and continues. And, that's just to buy the ticket!
