I take this as an opportunity to breathe city air. The Spanish paintings were not particularly impressive to me but whatever. One cool thing we saw today was this uber-realistic painting--and I say painting--that looks 99% like a photograph. If you don't observe it close, there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY that you'd think it is a painting. It is a portrait actually, a man's head mostly. The shadow, the light--from the reflection of the guy's pupils to the slightly yellowed spots on the teeth--every little detail was extraordinarily realistic. We were utterly impressed. And that's all I have to say.
After the trip we went to this spanish restaurant in NJ. The paella wasn't particularly impressive to me personally either, but whatever, it's food. i still couldn't eat the oyster...or was that mussel? Ugh, forget it. I can't even match them up in Chinese. The safron rice tastes weird but still edible. Yuliya was making jokes nonstop. Sabrina was laughing nonstop. Amy was talking nonstop. I think the best part of the time we spent in the restaurant is still the hanging out with friends.
And then I came back to school and was told that our prospective trip to the NY Times was canceled because of some preventive measures for the swine flu. :( Oh mannnn..I wanna see the flying papers. Seriously. I want to see. :...(
And then it was the science league. And then I came home and did absolutely nothing.
Time to do homework now. Goodnight--to whoever is reading.
