chilaxin'

rebecca's in for the weekend. much merriment ensued, though, i was a little distracted by work/finals. i did manage to allot 24 hours of good times and some very mild debauchery. saturday i opted out of the whitney, but heard that it was, in the words of raz, "very abrasive--the art was an assault on the senses." hm. intrigued, i have added it to my list. over the last two days i have learned a lot about art, particularly from the rebecca's perspective as a "producer" of art, in opposition to my "consumer" point of view. most fascinating is hearing about rebecca's philosophy, or statement, that she is trying to make with her pieces. i'll ask her if its alright to post about it, and get back to y'all.
