Month: October 2009

But actually it worked out because on the way back past the line I refused to wait for three hours in I learned they’d just shut down the exhibit, over.  So my decision to instead go paw things on Canada’s richest street was a good one.  

Then when I gave the guy my change he held up an envelope stuffed with cranes, told me to pick one, I got that poem there on my fridge, title, ‘Patience’.  I know.

 

My favourite line is, “put spending time under review…..”.  If you see the guy, he hangs around Avenue and Bloor, say hi for me and also get a poem for yourself.

Karin organized a ‘Slow Art Toronto’ event at The Art Gallery of Ontario… it’s a worldwide new art movement, Toronto’s on the early adapters list.  Basically you look at one piece as long as you can, hopefully at least 15 minutes or so, because then you start to see different things and it’s good for your concentration.  That’s a pretty bad explanation I think.

I stomped through as many different exhibits as I could looking at neat stuff, went and found the group in time for lunch and made some new friends.  Including an American couple in the gift shop who told me this. and I said this about the gift shop.

I’m at the Art Gallery of Ontario, where did you know you’re not supposed to take photos? Me neither.  That arrow is pointing at the shadow of the guard giving me that news.  

I knew I should have gone with my gut and made a TwitVid, it was gonna be so meta… I was watching a 1920s film of a photoshoot.  But that’s the thing about having a blog, sometimes you wanna just not document and save it for yourself.

The top thing is a tiny travelling kinda-animatronic circus.  That’s what, if we were in the 1897, would have totally enthralled us… which is why sometimes the future concerns me.  

Canadian architect Frank Gehry designed this, and I quite like this photo of mine.
