fauvists and the color blue

remember that expo you went to with your brother, darcy, of that guy that invented a certain pigment of blue? because i think i saw 2 of his pieces at the musée de l'art moderne de la ville de paris (16th arrondissement, next to palais de tokyo) this afternoon. i was supposed to go with our art contempo class at cupa but since i'll be in stockholm on thursday...i like fauvist art. it seems gentler than later cubist works. also, L.H.O.O.Q by Duchamp is small, and funny. i wonder how many people actually understand the title (if you speak french, and even if you don't, say the letters together as they would be said...and comment on this post if you get it! no cheating).

such as it is, i am using cyrille's huge desktop computer in my host parents' absence, which is quite a luxury. then erin, bevin and i met up at petit palais on the prowl for ice cream, to no real avail...but we did get hit on by a french/tunisian guy named ali. he offered us couscous (and possibly marriage). oh wait, no, he was really just hitting on bevin. he complimented her eyes, tried to get her number at least 4 times, and gave her his on a used lottery receipt. did i mention that he works security at the petit palais?

sketchy, but harmless. off to see "nue propriété" at odéon - my first french movie in paris!
