A big day on campus

[cornerofmadness]

Seriously big. Too big. Besides all the teaching, today was also an awards banquet for outstanding research who just so happens to be one of the biologists so I needed to go to that. He's rather a private person so no one even knew all he was doing (he's one of the wildlife/fish conservationists). I'm impressed. I was also impressed b y the spread, mini Greek pizzas, an artichoke/parmesan dip to die for, gator cakes!! (YUM, I love gator), some kind of baked apple wrapped in bacon, beef tenderloin and a chocolate fountain with big strawberries. I don't know where the food came from but kudos to them!

Also tonight was the grand chorale (missed them) and the senior art show. I did get there an hour after it started. Someone did an Homage to Magritte I coveted and another student had crossed something that looked like a nazgul and the Gollum. I wanted that. I would have put him in my office. He was life sized.

I did wander upstairs to the permanent exhibit because you rarely see it due to security reasons. We have a few Goyas, a Renoir & a Jasper Johns. It's nice to go and contemplate them.

And now I have a test to finish so I better get my butt in gear.

this is cool. 14 year old girl scientist

Good for her - look, a Florida girl doing something with sciences.

I miss going to art shows.

I was reading about her this morning on yahoo - does the heart good to see stuff like that

I was impressed.

Yeah, it's not much of an art show but it's still nice to go

The foooood, oh the fooood!

Then Renoir and Goya... awesome.

My uni had a lot of Ansel Adams, and some rather important Rodin sketches... but ten TONS of Original Adams prints... (like huge.)

Ooo I love Ansel Adams.

The art shows here cost too much to attend.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

this naturally is free to attend. charging to attend makes no sense.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Booze is served at the art show locally, so.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

there is one in Evansville that's 8$ entry

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

That might be a craft show.

The art show is $45/$50 entry per person.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

no it was an art show, well arts and crafts, looks like the thing from Ritzville in FL http://www.hotworks.org/evansvillefineartshow/

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

OH! That one. I think last year was the first year, so I didn't remember it until I saw it was at the Centre.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

well it looks decent if nothing else.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I wanted to go, of course, it was a weekend when I had to work during the time it was open.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I noticed this year doesn't even have dates. you could always email about it

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I think it's in the fall.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that should work out

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Yeah. :D
