Andy Warhol

Time: 6:47pm
Mood: Wired
Song of the moment: Darren Hayes - Feel

First week back from work and I must say.. Thank God It's Friday! LoL! Lucky for me this week went by pretty fast. Things were pretty crazy at work. Maybe that's why it flew! :D And it definitely helps knowing this is a long weekend.. next week is going to be a short week! Hooray for that!!

This past Wednesday Jimmy and I took a trip down to the AGO (Art Gallery of Ontario) to check out the Andy Warhol exhibit. Rita managed to get me free tickets by filling out a questionare online, and since Wednesday nights at the AGO are free, I didn't have to pay anything to see the pop-art icon's work. I don't think Jimmy and I have ever been to the AGO before (we're not too cultured are we? haha) so it was a nice first for the both of us. I must say, I didn't know too much about Warhol and his work (beside the recognizable multi-print paintings of famous people such as Marilyn Monroe, Elvis, Jackie O and Liz Taylor. But after seeing his work I am definitely a fan. I loved the theme of his work, how he tied fame to tragedy and made them interchangeable. Ideas like this of course has been around long before Warhol, but his ability to express it in the form of art is absolutely remarkable. Jimmy said the funniest thing when we left the exhibit... he said "There really is a fine line between art and porn, huh?" LoL!

I'm planning to buy my dress tomorrow!! I'm so excited!!

You're not the only person that's a bit uncultured. I haven't been to the AGO in a looooooong time too!
