Today Darcy and I went to see the Napoleon exhibition. The security man from last time was there and we had a bit of a chat before going in!! When we first walked in I noticed one of their paintings was super slanted. There was so much bling. I was mainly concentrating on the jewellery and silverware and I was totally blown away by the sheer amount of diamonds, gold, silver and precious stones on certain pieces. The crown was crazy. I loved how they set it up in a cabinet so that, when people looked at it, it would reflect to look like it was sitting on top of their head (or maybe I was just at the right height)
We both really enjoyed the exhibition, but there was a really wanky kid who was moving through the gallery at the same pace as us and he just kept making silly statements about the work.
Later, I thought to just check out ACMI to see whether the Anthony McCall exhibition had been fixed. AND IT HAD BEEN! :D
I was super excited. It was so dark cus they had a room at the start that was curtained off before the actual exhibition and I was quite confused and then we walked into the other room and we were both like MY GOSH. THIS IS AMAZING. We lay on the floor and looked up and this beam of light and the fog moving through it and it looked like staring at a mini sky. The beam made a circle and it was crazy. I felt so involved with this light and my mind kept thinking it was a material. I kept moving my hands through it, trying to touch it. We stayed there, playing with the light, for quite a while.

Afterwards we decided to walk home. We stopped by the memorial on the way home because the sun was setting and I was keen to a photo of it so I could add it to my ieatsunsets tumblr because I haven't updated in forever!!
I met this girl from Germany while I was there. She was taking photos of the sunset and I saw that she was trying to take one of herself. She started walking up to me and I just said before she opened her mouth, "I'll help youuu." I ended up taking photos of her with my camera and I sent her the photos when I got home. I hope they are ok. It was actually really nice to meet her. I haven't met somebody new and spontaneously in a while.

On the rest of the way home we past by some houses and I saw these grape vines that were slowly dying. They had a really beautiful red contrasting with the white.
Now we're home and waiting for Chi and Maeface to come over to play guitar. Listening and singing along to 50s and 60s music.
I was definitely born too late.
I told Darcy today that a plumber came into the house in the morning to check out my bathrooms to see if there was any leaking and he said he'd be back after he checked upstairs and I was like "hey man can you check if they have wooden flooooorssss?" and he came back saying they did! That's why they're sooo loud with them heels. Darcy told me (being a crazy) - "you should write on their doors with bloooooood" and my reply was - "... I would if I had spare blood." *grin* HE WILL SLEEP WELL TONIGHT. heehee
