Catching up
It's been a week since my last post. I didn't think it was that long. Let's see. Over the weekend, I went to the Art Gallery of New South Wales to see this exhibit that I saw featured on "Yahoo! Pictures of the Week" back in July. It's like 1200 colored balls on strings. There are fans that come on and make the strings move and the balls vibrate. I think its supposed to be the colors of the Australian Outback and the movement is like the heat coming off the ground in the desert. I have pictures and short video but they both look crappy. Here's a screen capture I made of the Yahoo! Picture of the Week. Obviously the actual exhibit doesn't have the artist in it. (You can click the word "exhibit" or the picture below for a better view.)
Sunday I was here at around 1 pm and had the balcony doors opened. I kept hearing this guy yelling for like 5 minutes. So I went out to see what was going on. This guy was in the crosswalk yelling and kicking his suit jacket across the street. He was punching buses and cars as they drove by him. He had traffic stopped and I don't know what he was yelling about. I couldn't understand him. I don't know if he was yelling in English or if he was just drunk or what. Then he pushed a couple pedestrians and someone yelled, "Hey!", but obviously that didn't stop him. I ran to get my camera and I missed him jumping on someone's hood (bonnet as they call it here) and punching the windshield. Then he got off and punched the passenger's window. Finally the cops came and the cop arrested him. I have it on video, but won't upload it because you can hear me talking on it. Plus it's like 20 Megs and I don't have that kind of time to upload it. I'm busy. Lol My theory is that his girlfriend broke up with him after church, because it was Sunday and he was in a suit. Then he must have gone and gotten wasted at some bar around here. I think he was trying to get run over or something. That's just my theory, and I'm probably just talking out of my ass.
Oh I went to yoga classes. I was annoyed. It's supposed to be relaxing or something, but I just wanted to punch the wall. My favorite part is at the end when we just laid there quietly with the lights off and our eyes covered. Of course. Maybe I will learn to appreciate it. I don't know.
