Hey there peoples,
The last couple of days have been very interesting. The weather has continued to be nice, so that's good, but now instead of having problems with the gods, we're experiencing difficulties with the mortals. As it turns out half the city is on strike, and as it turns out, if there's one thing that French people are really good at, it's not working (which might explain a local law that states the work-week can be no longer than 37 hours). This makes it difficult for would-be museum goers like us to get into places, because instead of being greeting by a smilling lady who says, "Give me your money" and us saying, "OK." we get to stare at a sign that says, "The museum is closed indefinitely". No lady, no money, no entry. Since Indiana Jones would never break into a museum unless he had a good reason, I had to bow my head in disappointment and walk away from both the Louvre and the Museum d'Orseille yesterday. Since Paris had turned its back on me, I decided to do the same by going to see X-Men 2. Now, I know that some of you out there want to kill me for this blasphemous act. I know some of you are thinking, "You're in Paris, one of the most beautiful cities in the world, it's nice and sunny after hearing you complain for a week about rain and NOW you go to see a movie!!!" To you people I say, "Yes. Yes I did." And you know what? I liked it a lot. so there!
Anyways, today we did get into the Louvre and all I could think at first is, "Holly cow, this place is gi-normous." We spent about 6 hours there and I think I saw maybe half the museum. My favourite part were some of the french sculptures made in the 1700s based on greek mythology, specifically those made as Diploma projects by the few artists who were seeking entrance to the Royal Academy and attained it. Man, I feel like I should be swirling some brandy in a glass while wearing a monacle and twirling my moustache. I think I need a punch, as Heather would say.
Well, I should let you people go now. We have heard your cries for photos and we will deliver tonight in a posting that will be put up slightly later by Brian. He's fevererishly working to make them all look slightly better by thouching them up in photoshop, even though I fear only he will be able to tell the difference in the end. Alas, the work of a perfectionist is never done.
Take it easy,
Markus
Posted by Markus at May 28, 2003 07:43 PMHey Markus,
So? So? Did you think the graphics for how they did the transporter guy was similar to how they did the twins in Matrix? Eh? Did you? That's right, geek geek geek, but it really bothers me for some reason. Anyone out there who would like to geek it up with me and has seen both movies is encouraged to answer my question. Futhermore, I see nothing wrong with checking out foreign theatres. They could have been very different, filled with different people, and the only way to know would be to go find out. And way to show Paris your spite. I'm proud, and I'm sure Heather will be too. Anyhow, if I don't watch it my comments are going to be longer than your post, so I'll shut up.
Take care.
Posted by: Shannon at May 28, 2003 11:20 PMHey Markus! I might say that, but I think I'd rather join you with a monacle and some brandy to see all that great art, it sounds like quite the awesome experience. I think Brian might still need a punch though, when doesn't he? Maybe you can give him one for me.
