Well, this weekend has been a fabulous start to my spring break. Friday we went into DC for Mike's party at the Mayflower hotel bar (about which it is commonly said: 'drinks may be $12, but that's ok. You only need one!'... and it's TRUE! My Fuzzy Navel was delicious and perfect).
On Saturday Garth, Louise and I marched into DC, and saw a couple of exhibits at the Hirshorn (one of which was pretty good, and another one which sucked - the latter featured a video of static rooms with badly rendered airplanes flying through it for 10 mintues). And on the way back to the Metro we stopped to see an A-M-A-Z-I-N-G exhibit on Hokusai at the Sackler Gallery. Granted, I love Japanese art more than the average person (being the nipponphile that I am), but seriosuly. Everyone should go see it. Hokusai has a style that will impress pretty much everyone (and everyone has heard of him too, even if you don't think you have - he's very famous for his '36 views of Mt. Fuji'. SEE?? You know him ^_^). Anyway. He's long been one of my favorites because he's loose, but there's something manga-like ot his work, even though it was done back in the 17- and 1800s.
AND FINALLY...! The Oscar Party ended up being a huge success!! The only thing that would've made it better would have been an appearance on Matt Hoffman (Yes, that's right. I said YOU, Matt!). People trickled in and out, but, around 12 or 13 people came by, and it was perfect! Thanks to everyone who showed up - I had a great time checking out dresses, awards speeches, and drinking insane amounts of root beer :)
Unfortunately, I have to buy new batteries for my digicam, so I didn't get to take any photos. Poo.
