the nU SF azn art museum

if you feel the need to visit the new asian art museum...don't bother!
here are my reasons:
1) the admission fee is pricey ($6 for students, but free on every first tuesday of the month).
2) parking is a hassle and pricey ($2 per hour).
3) the museum is smaller than i expected.
4) the collections are so-so. if you have gone to a few asian countries or your mom likes to buy fake antiques you've seen it all. :P
5) i spent more time trying to find parking than i did in the museum (took amy and i 25 mins to look at everything).
6) it took me a hour to drive from sfsu to downtown! :O

i bet you're asking why in the world did i go to the museum?
1) it was a field trip for my textiles class. it took me 1 minute to look at the stuff i was supposed to look at.
2) i was curious to see what this museum had and wat all the hype was about. good thing i decided not to become a member earlier this year.
3) i do enjoy visiting museums. i guess asian art is not my thing. but i will say that the minneapolis institute of art (MIA) has a really good collection of asian art which i enjoy. lotso cool jade stuff. props to the midwest having a decent museum!

golly, gee! that was my fun and exciting experience at the museum. if you feel the urge to go visit, by all means do so! but i did warn you!


sf is a white blanket of nothingness

i can't believe how hecka foggy it is in sf! i was driving down portola ave and all i saw was a blanket of white over the city! it was like nothing was there! unbelievable! dood, i don't think i'd be able to live there. how depressing-no sun! it's so odd to drive home from darkness to light. me likes my sunshine.
